It is often foggy in the mornings, especially during the spring and winter months. The few times I have flown out of here it has always been clear and I have never had any issues with the tree canopy, though I can see where it might give someone a bit of trouble if you're not use to it. Murray has a short runway by most standards and with mountains to the east and the water to the west, it can be a little tricky at times. There is a pilot shop in the terminal building along with public restrooms and a cafe. This is a decent little private runway, with hangars and parking available for aircraft. It serves its purpose and sure beats flying out of Crescent City an hour and a half north. 3.5 Stars - rounded up for local support and convenience. 00285

Nice little pilot shop in the "terminal building".

Very close to the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport, this Holiday Inn Express &…read moreSuites is located in McKinleyville, just north of Eureka in North Coast California. My wife, her mom, and I spent two nights here as we explored the various parks (national and state) in the area, and found it to be good place to stay. I made the reservation for two nights via Chase Travel, total of $536.06. Holiday Inn is part of the IHG rewards program (which having a CSR credit card will automatically give Platinum Elite status, though it didn't really provide anything additional worth mentioning). One good thing though is that one will earn nights and points through the IHG rewards program, even if booked through an on-line third party travel agency (which usually doesn't happen). Just need to make sure that your rewards number is listed in the reservation (mine wasn't). Another big benefit is that you get a $250 annual credit if using your CSR for a 2+ night stay at an IHG hotel. It has shuttle service to the airport, and we noticed airline employees taking advantage of it. Surface parking is free, with plenty of spots. We noticed a section where rental bikes were available, for those who wanted to ride at the Hammond Costal Trail. Our two queen room was fine, and it was an accessible, meaning the bathroom and front area were very large. It was a shower/tub combo unit and the water pressure was very strong, best we had on the trip. Shampoo and soap were Dove products, which my MiL really liked. Beds were comfortable, the large flat screen TV had a variety of basic cable channels, and a large work desk with a comfortable office chair. A microwave, coffee maker, and small fridge completed the set-up. The room had a modern thermostat, connected to a Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner, which worked well. The hotel does have an indoor pool, guest laundry room, and 24-hour fitness center. The lobby has two Costa Coffee espresso machines, with freshly ground coffee beans. The breakfast/lobby area is decently sized with a nice complementary breakfast in the morning (opens at 6:30), and a section of to-go items for those that want to get an earlier start. Free freshly popped corn was available throughout the day, which my wife took advantage. We were able to take advantage of the full breakfast on the 2nd morning, and I liked the premade Green Chile Egg Chorizo & Cheddar breakfast burritos available. There was no make your own waffle machine; instead, a 'Go Ahead Pan-cake my day' machine that made pretty decent pancakes ("in a minute flat"...l love puns :-).

We were driving through Oregon and Northern California, long story short ended up here, and while I…read morewas a little miffed at first that it was $154, I'm honestly really glad we stayed. It's right by the airport, but it was surprisingly peaceful. I went on a quick walk around the area and it was actually really nice. Walking inside, you're immediately welcomed into a very pretty Holiday Inn Express--it's clean, bright, and just feels good to be in. They had free cookies and popcorn, plus a little complimentary coffee and hot chocolate bar, which after a long day of driving was genuinely appreciated. The woman who checked me in was wonderful--super kind, long gray hair, just a really pleasant person. She even gave me a room with a small balcony view, which was such a nice bonus after being on the road all day. The room itself was clean, modern, and I had zero issues with it. They also offer a complimentary breakfast buffet, which matters more than people admit--there are hotels that cost more than this and don't even offer that. Holiday Inn Express isn't luxurious, and that's not an insult. It's not trying to be. It's clean, comfortable, reliable, and consistently better than you expect. You go in with low expectations and leave thinking, okay, I get why people swear by this. For what it is, it really punches above its weight, and I'm genuinely glad we stayed here. Thanks!

Close to Redwood Highway…read more This is a convenient place to stay... we were not looking for fancy since we planned on being out most of the 3 days, just needed a place to shower and rest our weary heads. The beds were comfy (we were given two Queen beds) and included basic amenities that we mostly use when staying out of town: free WiFi, a flat screen TV, small fridge, and a mini microwave. This is a non-smoking hotel. Property amenities was supposed to include free breakfast but they discontinued it due to Covid. Instead they gave us 20% vouchers to Denny's for each of the 3 days we were staying. We were able to use one. We arrived after 10:00p and the owner who checked us in was nice and super friendly. She apologized for inconvenience of remodeling work being done on the 4th floor (we stayed on the 3rd floor). The side door which was stairs was not the best in appearance but it was convenient because it took us directly to our room upstairs. Free parking. The hotel is proximity to many restaurants and some attractions including a couple of museums. We went to Costco for gas and it was 1.2 mi from here, 0.9 mi to check out the members only Carson Mansion, and for some delicious food at Brick & Fire Bistro it was only 0.9 mi. aaaannnd Highway 101 cuts through Eureka... we were practically on the Redwood Highway.

Sometimes I come to work here because it helps me be creative and productive. The garden is filled with all types of birds. Oh and let me tell you about the deck that stretches out to give you a panoramic view of a huge stretch of pristine Trinidad, California coast. The hosts are super welcoming and care deeply that you enjoy your stay which gives your entire stay a calm vibe. Make sure you get in the hot tub and if you are lucky, you will have front row seats to a beautiful Trinidad sunset. I'm super thankful that the host decided to make that a vacation rental to share their beautiful property, thank you!
