    WHY I WENT HERE: - business trip THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on Valley West Blvd - decent amount of parking - the part of the hotel that overlooks the pool also has a view of the mountain; at the time of my stay there was fresh snow, which was nice THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - lobby, coffee/hot water station, and sitting area for breakfast has various seating options - bathroom had good lighting; showerhead pressure was good - room was a good size; clean, furniture and carpet were dated CUSTOMER SERVICE: - this hotel doesn't have check-in through the Hilton app, so I had to do the old-fashioned lobby front desk check-in; the staff member I spoke with was very warm and welcoming

    We were traveling through Northern California and looked prior to our trip for Hilton properties and didn't see any to chose from in the area except this one. We booked our stay for a Monday night in April in a King Suite. We like this room type as it gives us more space. We checked in via the Hilton app but noticed they did not have the digital key option. Therefore we stopped in at the front desk. This hotel looks to be a bit older but does look like it is kept up and clean. Our room was at the end of the hall and was quiet and comfortable. They have an indoor pool and the location is convenient to the Highway. Overall it was a good stay!

    This Hampton Inn is my favorite in all of Northern California! From Payne helping me with my reservation, to Nate, at check-in, to the wonderful housekeeping staff, and excellent breakfast service crew! The Manager, Dalila, is simply the BEST, and we all know that it truly starts with her! Dalila and her Team are simply AMAZING! The dedication to excellent Customer Care has been consistent throughout the past 10 years that I have been staying here while on business trips and family vacatoons! I love you guys Thank you for making my trips up to Eureka and Arcata so much better. Giving me the opportunity to relax, unwind, refresh, helping me to be more productive and energized for work, and for life, every time I am here. You deserve so much more than a good review! I hope that your Corporate Team sees this and recognizes all of you for your amazing Customer Care! Sincerely, -Shaun Steffani

    Stayed here twice on different road trips to the Redwoods and it's always a perfect stopover.

    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!

    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.
