Close to Redwood Highway 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. That's all. Happy travels! Review #2530 read more

We stayed here with our dog as it was one of the few dog-friendly hotels in Eureka. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. It's on the border of Old Town and an easy walk to the Boardwalk. The room was efficient, clean, quiet, and good for a one night stay on a car trip. read more

We had a really good experience here! My husband and I were taking a trip down the coast and were driving late at night/wee hours of the morning. I started calling every place I could find as we drove and nothing was available. I called this place and they only had one room left, but it was bigger than we needed and out of our budget. I moved on to calling other places, and then a little while later, she called us back to say there was a cancellation if we still needed a place. It was also the best price I had heard. I wish I had asked for the woman's name so I could praise her here. She was so kind, helpful, and understanding when we finally showed up close to 3am. (She had to change her normal operations to accommodate our very late arrival.) The room was very clean, linens very clean and sharp, everything we needed, bed comfortable, plenty of pillows, shower was nice. Nothing super fancy, but suited what we needed. Great stay! read more

I had driven up to the redwoods and had also stayed up in Gold Beach, Oregon, on my way back I was dying to find a clean and decent place to stay at for the night as the place we had stayed up in Crescent City, California was just absolutely atrocious , I mean it was one of the worst places I've ever stayed at and I try not to be picky but that place was nightmare type of stuff. I ended up booking this place somewhat later on at night and this place was absolutely fabulous, when I pulled up and checked in I immediately knew I was at the right place, the young girl behind the counter was super friendly, we ended up having a conversation about our trip up and down California as we hail from Los Ángeles and had driven up and down to get to the redwoods and Oregon. She was so cool, the room was everything and more , clean, everything one could want in a room this place had, we were so happy to have found this place, we had a great night stay here, I will always stay here when I'm up here, thank you very much for your hospitality and nice clean, safe place . You guys rock! read more

Absolutely shocked at how nice this place was! I've seen it for years and I never had an occasion to stay until this. It's decorated nicely, pretty classy decor in fact. It had laundry, which is always a plus while traveling. The staff were very nice and helpful in many ways. I was looking for the closest place to get water and she gave me 5 water bottles instead of me having to walk to the closest store. I really liked our room and even though it was very to the highway you could barely hear it in the room. read more

Total dump stay away, people smoking weed, drinking beer, loud they rent to construction crews, no breakfast as advertised room had food bits all over place. Pool closed, little girl at front check in rude eating a sandwich while helping me. Avoid . read more

if you're looking for a place to rest your head at a reasonable price, this place fits. When pulling up, be forewarned, this place does not present well. The area is lacking the charm of Eureka's recently renovated areas. Key point you are paying significantly less than hotels down the street. Cons; Parking is a challenge and the common areas, could certainly use a proper cleaning with a fresh coat or two of paint. Breakfast area very small and limited options but hey it's free! Pros: Room was clean and comfortable. Nice touch having a refrigerator in room Starbucks just down the block read more

I was pleasantly surprised how nice my room was when I stayed here. My room was very clean including the furniture, bedding, and bath. The bed was comfortable also. It was cleaner and had a better bed than the rooms I've had at the Holiday inn. The price was much better as well. My room had a balcony which was nice for taking in a view and enjoying the morning air. There's not much else as far as amenities but I'm getting what I really want. All of the staff I have encountered were very nice. I think it's a good place to stay. The outside parking layout is a little unusual but not a big deal, and the elevator could use some attention. The Denny's restaurant is almost next door so very convenient. I bought breakfast there and it was okay. read more

Overall, a good place to stay the night. Upon our arrival the room looked clean. The bedding looked clean too, beds were comfy. There was bit of a smell but I think because the building is older (nothing a little lavender spray couldn't fix lol). It looks like it's had some renovations. The restrooms were decent and clean. I was a little hesitant to book a room here (we only needed a night to stay during our road trip) because of the not so pleasant reviews left here but I didn't see anything wrong with place and I am a picky person, especially when it comes to cleanliness. The parking lot was small but we had no problem finding a parking space and arrived later at night. I also want to add the receptionist was very friendly and attentive. She have is a map of the city and some coupons. This picky person, recommends this place for a night stay read more

Pet friendly! Nice room with tiled floor. Comfy chair! Very comfy bed and pillows! Very convenient location since near Old Town Eureka! The people working at hotel were so friendly! Pet friendly restaurants include Cafe Nooner(delicious!), Bayfront, Dutchys Pizza, Jack's Seafood. read more

Breakfast is a bit of a joke. Walls are paper thin and heating/cooling units are SO loud. Bed is hard. Pillows are flat. But the price is cheap, so the overall value is okay if price is your biggest factor. If comfort is your biggest factor, go elsewhere. read more

these guys deserve a great post from 3 damsels in distress. Pulled into town really late. Over dinner we searched hotels. EVERYthing booked but the haunted one & this one with bad reviews and low ratings so we started searching the closest towns to the north and south. Also fully booked. Exhausted, we opted to toughen up and take the last room they had here. What a sweet surprise!!! Guy at front desk was available, responsive and helpful! Room was totally clean and quiet. We had NONE of the issues everyone complained of. No bad smells, no loudness, nothing dirty...and we are a spoiled group of women. THANK you!! Ps, we can't rate the breakfast as we're coffee snobs and moving on to a coffee shop for that. read more

Just great service! Helped us out way more than they needed to, if back in Oregon I will definitely be staying here. Just got here for the night and they have put so much effort into getting us settled. Great start to our night!!!! read more

For $60 this isn't a bad deal. The room is comfy and clean, and has a mini fridge and micro. Free wifi too. The walls are paper thin though and the slider let in a draft. The area looks a bit iffy, and there are a lot of questionable looking folks walking about. There is a Starbucks up the block and a Denny's across the street. The woman clerk who checked us is was very pleasant and made us feel welcome. However when we checked out, there was no one in the office. After calling out hello a couple of times, a staticky voice came from a speaker in the corner, informing us to just leave our key on the counter. Umm. Strange, but this is Eureka ;) When we got to our car there was broken glass all over the ground near and under it. Went back to the office and told the speaker about it. Then we asked if we could have a broom to clean it up. The response we got was he would be right out. After several minutes, we gave up and got as much glass as we could swept to the side using our shoes and napkins. Would I stay there again? Sure, unless they raise the price. read more

Very nicely remodeled older hotel with gargage parking. Lovely hosts and good complimentary breakfast with waffles. No pool & no gym, though. read more

Although the area the hotel is in isn't the best it was really nice and clean once inside. The bed was super comfy and everything was clean! I would stay here again looks can be deceiving but this place gets and a+ from me read more

Pet friendly with a reasonable $15 fee. Evening checkin was good. Location and parking as well as fridge/microwave in-room adds up to 2 Stars. The room chair was so ratty with holes. Furnishings were cheap and hotel hallways seemed like it was drenched in Fabreeze. Wouldn't pay more than $75 if was to return. read more

I was in town for a wedding and stayed here for a few nights. Great place with everything walking distance, including banks, coffee shops, and Denny's just a block over. Room was clean upon arrival. Lobby staff very friendly and polite. Woman at the front desk offered me a city map upon arrival. She was always very polite and helpful. Didn't get to try the free breakfast to be honest. I'd definitely stay at this place again when back in town. High recommend. read more

One of the best deals in Eureka for a quick stop on your road trip. At least $100 cheaper a night then any of the other hotels. Rooms were very clean and comfy. Nice breakfast offered in the morning. Staff very nice. My choice next time I'm driving through the area. read more

For $80, not bad. Neighborhood a trite sketchy but rooms are fine with king or queen size bed. Free breakfast (2 stars, not great but what do you expect) and wi-fi. Wi-fi cut out from time to time, however. Just a few blocks from the water and a nice area of Eureka. Rooms clean, if a bit dated. read more

This place is good value relative to the price and other places I've seen. The building inside and rooms can use a facelift but it's clean. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfy. Although the continental breakfast is pretty bare bones it's not as bad as it could be. Parking is an issue late at night. read more

2.5 Stars (if possible) CONS: LOUDEST motel/hotel I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in some crappy motels. Good luck sleeping past 6am. You hear everything your neighbors are doing and the folks in the hallway. When your neighbor flushes the toilet or takes a shower, it sounds like Niagara Falls right next to your head. Not to forget the cars driving by. The noise was my biggest complaint. Also, if you come on a holiday or special event weekend, expect to pay double the normal rate. The area is a little shady but we had no issues. They seem to charge you before you arrive so not able to change the payment method. PROS: Great location. Only a few blocks from downtown and the water. Room was comfy and enjoyed the microwave and fridge. Breakfast was ok (waffles!) but room is tiny so try to get there early or it's a mess at 9:15 (they stop at 9:30). Free parking. Owners were really nice. read more

Noone at front desk, left to wait for some time. Very poor customer service, wouldn't check spare room availability on an early check in request read more

I'll start with the pros; front desk staff was super-friendly. Probably one of the best I've seen; gave great tips on where to dine, places to go, etc. Rooms, while a little run-down in appearance, were actually very clean. This is seriously the first place I've stayed at that I walked around the room in socks and they didn't turn black. They have covered parking so that was awesome considering it was pouring down rain when I arrived and left - so nice to be able to walk straight from the room to the elevator and right into a covered parking to my car and not get soaked while loading and unloading. They also have a fitness room and breakfast room and the location of the hotel is good; it's within walking distance of anyplace you could want to go in Eureka. They also have a microwave and mini fridge if you plan on staying a few days and want to bring in some snacks. Free Wi-Fi too. The cons; the neighborhood is a bit sketch. You'll see lots of vagrants wandering around and you'll pass a million people who reek of weed. Go to the Denny's 2 blocks over and it'll open you up to a whole new world of weird, lol. But, the front desk swears the neighborhood is safe and the vagrants are harmless. I suppose he was right; my car was safe and I walked about 3 miles with no incident but it does look bad around the neighborhood. The main reason for only 3 stars, outside of the neighborhood, was the sleep quality. The walls are paper thin. The guy in the room next to me had his tv on all night (for white noise, I presume) but it kept me up. I had called and asked him to turn it down and he refused. I tried turning on the room fan to drown it out and drown it out it did but the fan was so loud it shook the entire room. The toilets are some kind of weird pump fill and even they are incredibly loud. Basically - if someone 4 doors down farts, you're going to hear it. Because of its location off of the main roadway through town, traffic noise is also very loud. I thought that by late evening it would die down but it never did; lots of big rigs come through over night and rumble the whole room. The room also has a small sliding door and balcony off the side which is nice during the day to step out on for some fresh air but it leaked cold air and also wasn't very sound-proof so you hear every car and semi all night long. The beds, or at least the one in my room, was pretty uncomfy too; old mattress that you could feel the springs through. Took a lot of tossing, turning, and strategic placement of pillows to lay without getting poked by a spring. Bottom line, if you're on a short budget like I was; this place is clean, friendly, and, although it doesn't look it, safe enough, and you get good amenities to go along with it. For $65 I got a king room, a way to get out of the rain, and at least a little rest. Way cheaper than most places. But, if you really want and need quiet time and quality sleep for a long day ahead- you'd better pay a higher price and find a different location or you're going to be exhausted the next day. read more

Booked a room for one night, was told the price was $89.95 plus tax which was fine, the problem was after the $84.99 plus tax the bill was $179.95. Either this is a total scam or the incompetent staff could not figure simple math. When I questioned the woman about their huge error I was told I didn't understand tax. This hotel in garbage and the staff are rude, stupid and generally incompetent, so many other places to stay around the corner and in areas that are not filled with homeless people. read more

Family owned business. Staff super friendly. Price was expensive, but in comparison to other hotels around it was ok. The room was ok, dull looking, bed was comfortable, bathroom small but clean, the little chair in the room was very dusty with trash in between the cushion, so of course i never sat on it, Walls were very thin you can hear everthing next door. Breakfast was waffles not to bad. If I don't plan ahead again and I have to settle I'll stay here again based on the friendly staff. Area was pretty cool, Dennys was walking distance one way and a Starbucks was walking distance the next way. read more

Clean, nice rooms. Well priced and the complimentary breakfast is delicious. John, who works at the front desk, was incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. He made us feel very welcomed and made our stay just that much better! Thank you John! read more

We stayed two nights at this hotel, They are pet friendly. The room was clean and you could not tell if there had ever been a pet in the room before. This was nice. Breakfast was not only tasty, but kept well stocked. I interacted with several staff during my visit, they were all very pleasant to have a conversation with. There is a Dennys on the next block, so food was close. The best part is the king size bed in our room was extremely comfortable, read more

This is a basic hotel for a low price, at least low for the area. The room was clean, cheap, and conveniently located close to nice restaurants, nightlife, and the highway. The staff were also very nice, and attentive to our last minute booking. read more

My room was very clean and well furnished. I've stayed in a lot of hotels on my trip here and this is the best one for the price. Walls are paper thin and there are a lot of homeless people nearby. read more

Thought this hotel would be okay from Expedia reviews but that was not the case but had already booked it online and it was non-refundable. First thing I noticed when I walked in the lobby was the hotel license on the wall was for 2014-2015. Got in the elevator and the buttons were taped to the wall and it felt like it was going to break. The rooms are now all non-smoking but they smelled terribly of smoke. There was a whole in our bathroom door and the ceiling was cracked and moldy. The bed was hard a squeaky and the comforter had several melted burn marks/whole in it. Also it was VERY loud and close the road where there were sirens at least once an hour. Definitely not what I expected from a Days Inn! I do not recommend it AT ALL! read more

We just spent graduation weekend here, for Humboldt State U in nearby Arcata. This is also grad weekend for College of the Redwoods. Note that every hotel and motel in the area for this weekend doubles or triples their rates. Days Inn does also. What is normally a $60-$70 per night room becomes over $200 per night. Our room was clean, but rather tired condition wise. A large stain or scrape of some sort on the baseboard heater, gap you could put your finger into by the patio door, light bulb out in the sink area, loud exhaust fan, etc. When the room was serviced, the coffee grounds weren't emptied and no new coffee packets appeared. I commented on these items when we checked out and was told, "Oh, sorry to hear. We will look into this!." I realize this was the big weekend to make money, but it would have been nice to put guests into rooms that were in better shape and maintained. read more

Really nice and clean hotel. Bed's are comfy and I like the wardrobes. The only downside is the lighting inside the room. I prefer bright lights, it was rather dim. Front desk clerk John is awesome. Super helpful and knowledgeable, not only about the hotel processes but the area as well. He is quite personable. I travel a lot, too much sometimes, and he is the first hotel staff in a long time that I sent a lot of time talking to, just about random stuff. read more

The walls are paper thin you can hear everything from your neighbors and people walking by in the hallway. The windows are also single pane windows which means you hear the traffic noise. Its so noisy and the room is so outdated. Probably one of the worst hotels I've stayed at read more

The lady at the desk was so sweet and did not hesitate to make us feel welcome, even though we arrived super late. The rooms were clean and we couldn't expect more for the money. We would stay here again if we were passing through in the future. read more

What a dump! Parking is scary.. barbed wire along the wall. Rooms are noisy with traffic. Furniture was worn and broken. They give one package of coffee and a tiny coffee maker. We asked for a different room and they said they were booked. It was obvious they weren't. Th coffee in the breakfast room was horrible. They had a dirty couch on the second floor. Sighns werent even hung they leaned on the couch Elevator stunk! And looked like it wasn't functional. And they charged us 300.00 extra for one night! read more

For $55 this place is a steal. The rooms are actually really nice even if from the outside it doesn't look like a 5 star. My main concern was the wifi and it has great wifi at 8 mb download which is fast enough to download whatever you want. Has fridge and microwave in the room and iron and board. read more

10-19-'16 The desk clerk was a friendly, laid-back guy who gave us a room in the back so we wouldn't have to listen to traffic. Kudos! Our room wasn't what we expected in a lodging chain. Not large, with old-fashioned decor, the vibe was warm & homey. With a fireplace & and a pitcher or two of vodka martinis, it would've made a great place to snuggle through a winter storm. The bed was soft, but not a back wrecker good water pressure & the comp. breakfast was decent. TravelinbyCarr GandR calls it 3 1/2- 4 stars. read more

Two most important things for a no-frills hotel are polite staff and cleanliness. This hotel excels in both areas. Super friendly check in even though we were coming later than expected. Room clean and well-maintained. Great value. read more
