You have to put your key in this little slot by the inside of the door to keep the lights on. Once you leave and remove it the light go off to help save electricity great idea, At least I couldn't forget where I put my room key haha. The beds seemed to be firm and the pillows were comfortable. My husband and I had a good night sleep. They offer hard and soft pillows and they are labeled as such on the pillowcases. Never seen that at a hotel before. Room came with a microwave & fridge which was nice to keep our snacks and water cool for the next days journey. Breakfast was complimentary, lots to offer. Eggs, turkey & pork sausage pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bagels, toast, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice and more that I don't remember. The offer onsite laundry room, a pool and jacuzzi and a workout gym. We didn't have a chance to use these but they were available. The parking lot has a brick half wall with a metal fence around the building. We felt safe where we parked, we checked often and never saw anyone snooping around. You will need a room key to get into the side entrance of building. When we come back to Eureka we will definitely book Holiday inn Express again. We felt very comfortable here and the hotel was centrally located torestaurants stores and gas stations.

    My experience with Holiday Inn Eureka was great! Located next to "Costco" and "Eureka Natural…read moreFoods" (which is like a Whole Foods) and only a 15 min walk to the very cute Downtown area. One of the things I look for when booking a hotel is the parking situation (since I'm horrible at backing-up, parking in tight spaces, etc) but this location did not disappoint me, there are plenty parking spaces available and it's an easy in and out. Our check-in was quick and efficient. Front desk staff is very friendly. The lobby is modern and chic. They have plenty of tables, couches and chairs that create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere for people-watching, play card games, dining, etc. Did I mention they have fresh coffee 24/7...yes please! Our room was spacious, clean and most importantly; the bed was super comfy. The indoor pool was a plus for families traveling with children, it looked nice and warm (I did not use it) but other guests seem to be having a blast. The breakfast bar is your typical Continental Breakfast, it was nice, fresh and tasty. I definitely recommend this Hotel while visiting Eureka. Enjoy your stay!

    We stayed here for two nights on our way to Oregon. It was our first time visiting Eureka, and…read moreoverall our stay was okay, but there were a few things worth mentioning. Our first impression wasn't great. The gentleman who checked us in was surprisingly rude. The booking site had listed our teenager as a child instead of an adult, so there was a $10-per-day charge to correct it. That wasn't an issue--we expected to pay the difference--but he made such a big deal about it that it felt uncomfortable, almost as if he assumed we couldn't afford it. It was an odd way to start our stay. One thing I hadn't seen mentioned in other reviews is the location. The hotel is next to several large dispensaries. If that's your thing, it probably won't bother you, but if you're like us and don't enjoy the smell, you'll notice it the moment you step outside or open the window. The room itself was clean and nicely updated. My only complaint was a strange design choice: there was a table placed directly over the air conditioning unit, blocking much of the airflow. We visited in June, and with the warmer temperatures it definitely made it harder to cool the room. On the positive side, the location was convenient for exploring the area and visiting the attractions we had planned. The breakfast also exceeded our expectations. Instead of the typical waffle maker and stale cereal, there were hot options both mornings, including eggs, sausage, potatoes, and plenty of fresh fruit. Overall, I'm not 100% sure I'd stay here again. They have clean rooms, good breakfast, and convenient location. Just be aware of the nearby dispensaries and don't expect the warmest welcome at check-in.

    Stayed here for one night while driving to LA from Portland. I chose an interior room which has…read morewindows into the ballroom, not the outside. It was fine for one night but I don't know if I would choose the same type room if staying longer. The hotel has some history behind it and can be a little creepy if you decide to walk around at night by yourself. Our room was #16, located on the second floor. The room was a decent size with a sitting area with two chairs and a settee and a small armoire to hang your clothes. The bathroom was small with a walk in shower but the shower pressure was good and the water was warm. No air conditioning but there was an industrial oscillating fan in the room. Unfortunately, I didn't find the bed too comfortable and the headboard creaked a lot but it was ok for just one night. Taylor at the front desk when we checked in was very helpful and informative. We left early, around 8am and they had a complimentary breakfast available for guests consisting of bagels, sweet pastries, fruit, Tillamook cheese and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers which I presume are for the bagels. Cute spread!

    This is a very historical property in old town Eureka near the marina. The building itself is very…read moreinteresting and beautiful inside, but felt a bit confusing. It is dark inside and smells "old". Our room was nicely decorated in old Victorian. It was overlooking the corner of 2nd & C right over the Irish pub. Everything was clean and nice inside. Bathroom was small but well stocked with supplies. The issue is more with the area. We took a walk after we arrived through the marina and old town area and concluded that we didn't feel terribly safe. We decided to stay in after dark. There were plenty of homeless and very "sketchy" people walking around talking loudly to themselves, etc. Know the rooms have no air conditioning so the hosts opened a couple of windows facing C street, which we left open all night, hoping that street wouldn't be terribly noisy. Fortunately, the Irish pub below us closes around 9:00, and the Mexican restaurant across the street was the same. By 9:30 or so the street was very quiet with only the occasional car and lone, loud motorcycle around midnight. Also there is no TV in the room, so bring your own entertainment! The WiFi didn't work either. We couldn't find the WiFi the hosts provided on check in. Overall, this area of town is trying to revive and the hosts are trying to bring back this hotel. Just be aware!

    First thing to cover here is that I'm a Hilton loyalist. Regardless of my experience with any…read moresingle Hilton property, I trust the overall brand because I know what to expect. For that reason, you should interpret any criticism I have as not being an issue at other properties. Ok...that said, my new favorite Hilton brand is Home2. Why? Because it has everything I like in a hotel when I travel. First though...a criticism for this property AND Hilton as a whole for not policing it better. During my last five stays, the remote check-in feature on the app did not let me check in and when I tried to check in that way for this property, I received a pop-up telling me it wasn't allowed and that I needed to check in at the front desk. The two people working the front desk denied that the hotel had it set that way, but I'm seeing a trend where the properties are requiring a hard credit card for check in again and not allowing Apple Pay or other variations where a physical card isn't used. They even went so far as to tell me that it was probably like that because my card on file wasn't good...then they promptly asked if I wanted to use my card on file for the stay...which worked perfectly. The bottom line is that Hilton franchises aren't being policed very well by Hilton for this feature, so don't expect to be allowed to remote check-in. Ok...back to what I liked about the property. The rooms were nice and clean...albeit smaller than Hampton rooms of the same type. Each of the rooms we had (we usually have two rooms when we travel) were equipped with a full refrigerator, a microwave, fully functioning sink and a dishwasher. The cabinets had all the dishes we needed too. The pantry was the best I've seen in a hotel of this type. Period. The pool and hot tub were well taken care of and there was also a barbecue section that looked like it was well used by the guests. The only other criticism I have is around parking. They didn't have enough spaces set aside for Diamond members, so parking can be challenging. There were lots of trade people staying there while we stayed and there could not have been less than 20 work vans and trucks - taking up multiple spaces in some cases. That's why I was bummed they didn't have more reserved parking spaces. All in all, it's a nice property and it will be our go-to place when we visit Eureka in the future. If you're heading that way, I'd check them out.

When you enter, there is a receptionist that greets you... and you walk into a lobby full of comfy furniture, a roaring fireplace and a basket full of blankets. Above the two receptionist sits a bar where you can grab a glass of wine to sit in front of the fire. They also have a tower of fruit for you to grab as a snack. We stayed in one of the regular rooms which I found quite spacious. However, we were on the corner so we had a little extra space. I'm not sure if all the rooms have a fireplace, but ours did which came in handy because it's quite chilly in Eureka. If you're staying for a few days, they have plenty of space in the room to put your clothes. However, the bathroom is very tight. I will say the bed and pillows are very comfortable...I definitely slept very well! The hotel itself is located pretty centrally and easy enough to walk to good restaurants just down the street but if you don't wanna walk, the hotel itself has an amazing restaurant both for breakfast and dinner. I'm honestly not sure about lunch.

After waiting 35 minutes we finally got the soup, with a bad attitude from the waitress. As all the other tables around us were getting their plates we were left sitting there for way too long, the waitresses kept telling that it was the kitchen fault. If it was any other day we would have gotten up and walked out, but it being Valentine's Day we knew we how hard it would be to try to walk in anywhere else. It was so bad they comped our dinners. She knew we were not happy at all, and sent the manager over to talk to us who apologized for how everything had went, saying that they hoped we would give them another chance..... NO We will Absolutely never ever go back!!!!

Embellishing the review just a bit, oh shoot - that's not really possible. The reality is this - from the parking lot to the doorstep of the room, every thing seems to be in a state of entropy. A controlled chaos with little chance of redemption. Our "suite" was - well, a room with a small sub-room connector. Honestly, I've stayed in hotels, hostals, resorts, luxury destinations ... places all over the world. This property is by far the worst experience I have had. Let me be clear, the use of the term "worst" represents every way a hotel can be classified. So please, do your family a favor, keep driving and find another place to stay for the night during your Nor Cal vacation.
