    I've now stayed here twice It is literally the only hotel in…read moredowntown Arcata. It is walking distance to my son's dorm room. It is walking distance to restaurants, coffee, shops, and bars It is walking distance to lovely hikes in the redwoods and walks along the arcata Marsh. There are Airbnb's in the area, which I may try one day, who knows There are other hotels that are really close by car. Either two exits north or about 10 minutes south in Eureka. I chose this because of location It is over 100 years old Although some may say it needs updating, I think it's kept some of the old charm yet the beds are comfortable. The rooms are clean and the service is spectacular. Everybody who works here is extremely kind No, you're not getting a five diamond resort, which I do prefer. I generally stay at higher end Marriott properties, but that is not an option in this town. I see people saying negative things about noise and homeless. As far as that goes, I've been lucky enough to have rooms facing inside versus the street so noise has not been an issue. The walls are not them, but the gaps under the doors and the thin windows are a factor. Yes they are homeless but they're different from what I see in Southern California down here. The homeless are scary in Arcata. The homeless are fun and interesting to talk to and super kind. I do park my car outside on the street and while I usually am afraid that something will happen in my car I'm not afraid here. Yes, they have a breakfast that's included, but really don't waste your time. I tried it one day thought about trying at the second day and then decided to find somewhere else to eat. Take a chance You will either hate it or love it

    I lived in Arcata for many years and have visited a lot in the last 25 and always have chosen to…read morestay at the Hotel Arcata mainly because of its central location and the claw foot bathtubs. Unfortunately, due to my most recent experience being so awful, I will never return and I also strongly urge you to find another option for yourself. To start I had booked a room for my friend and I for 3 nights. It was a room with a queen bed and an office space which they say on their own website there's room for a rollaway bed. I made sure to contact the hotel the morning of our arrival and requested a rollaway bed. We arrived that evening and checked in without a hitch. I'm well familiar with the challenging parking situation and that the plaza gets a bit rowdy so those things weren't an issue for us. When we get to the room there is no rollaway, ok, a bit annoying but the young woman at the front desk was super nice and told us she would get it and set it up. Cool. We went to get some food at Don's and I was looking forward to taking a nice hot bath when we returned. When I turned on the hot water I got only cold, I tried running sink trying to get it but the sink wouldn't drain properly so I kept having to turn it off. Back to the tub, I ran it for an excessively long amount of time and still no hot water so I gave up and retired to my rollaway bed. The one they provided me must have previously been a trampoline for a caffeinated 5 year old, it was shaped weird and very uncomfortable and I felt like I was in a taco. Also the boilers (aka radiators) made crazy sounds all night and while we went to bed freezing we both woke up in the middle of the night to an extremely uncomfortably hot situation. Even with all this, we didn't complain and we're going to sit out our three day stay. However, in the early afternoon of the third day while I was sleeping, my friend who has breast cancer, was preparing some marijuana cigarettes for us to enjoy later that day, unfortunately she needed a plunger for the toilet and she called the front the man who arrived was not friendly at all, she told him she would do the plunging (since I was sleeping on the rollaway right next to the bathroom) and he abruptly informed her that if we got caught smoking weed, we would be charged $500. She told him ok. Once again, we were NOT smoking weed, we had purchased some locally and also had devices to partake of it. I guess the man, we'll call him Charles, saw or smelled something and just assumed because less than 10 minutes later we got a phone call from the front desk telling us that we will not be charged, but we had one hour to vacate the premises. I asked to speak to the manager, named Sherri and she was supposedly unavailable for that entire hour while we now had to pack up all of our stuff and find a new place and also wait out the fact that this happened before standard check in times so we had our entire car packed back up and had to wait over an hour before we could check into our new (much better) location at an Airbnb 2 blocks away. We also had reservations at Larapin Café for 5 o'clock, but since this happened at around two, it left us not enough time and so we had to reschedule our dinner reservation which was very inconvenient because we were also attending an event I had paid for at Richards Goat Tavern which we now had to miss in favor of our dinner reservation. Pretty unbelievable seeing as the hotel is located in Arcata and its reputation for the wacky Tabaccy... also the cherry on top being that upon walking out of the establishment we were greeted by a massive cloud of pot smoke lol. I would've welcomed an adult conversation with either Charles or Sherri but apparently both of them are cowards who would rather let the front desk people do their dirty work. Also worth mentioning is Charles brings his daughter to work and allows her to roll full body down the ONLY staircase as people are trying to come and go. I hope his low wage position is worth him ruining someone's plans without a reason. As for Sherri, I invite you to read the many negative reviews she has received via google and how unprofessionally she responds to them. BUT, If you like cold showers, no refrigerator, no hair dryer, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, noisy neighbors, being aggressively panhandled, the smell of weed and rude management, the Hotel Arcata is definitely your place.

    Let me just start off by saying this is a BEAUTIFUL venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding…read morereception here. Everything turned out beautiful, it was a fun space, lots of parking, and super affordable. My wedding was straight out of a fairytale...except the hall manager. Our whole experience trying to rent this venue was a bit difficult. The hall manager we worked with was extremely scattered and stand-offish. Unfortunately, I wish I would have seen these as red flags. After a magical night, we returned the next morning with a crew of 20 to help us clean the facility. We took all of our trash to the dump and left the facility looking better than it did when we arrived. We did leave something there accidentally, called the hall manager and arranged to meet her there to pick it up. When we arrived (exhausted from cleaning all morning and returning rentals all day), the manager proceeded to accuse us of breaking two carts (both of which my caterer notified me were broken before our rental of the space), being "thoughtless and disrespectful" and overall "terrible people". She then proceeded to yell at us for moving the stage lights (something we were unaware were separate rentals and did not come with the facility rental), not sweeping the bathrooms because there was two quarter-sized scraps of clean toilet paper near the ground (which we did sweep every room before leaving!). Oh, and the piano is apparently supposed to stay on top of an ill-fitting scooter (a serious liability) which in the hustle and bustle, our group of guys took it off the scooter, thinking that was the safe and appropriate thing to do. Anyway- long story short, she continued to complain about how she doesn't get paid for this job, how we ruined her day, and how we were going to "pay" for all of this (we did not get our $300 security deposit back, which is fine) The security deposit is supposed to cover things like that, so it really was inappropriate to threaten us and make us feel terrible, when the security deposit is meant for this exact reason. So, I would say just proceed with caution when renting this venue. If you can deal with a demeaning and scattered hall manager, then go for it. It really is a beautiful venue.

    Great breakfast. Presentation is very nice and I love that they don't use any disposable plates…read moreand cups.
