Rooms clean, fresh towels on request, breakfast is yummy. Not totally fancy, but definitely will stay again. Super close to the campus. Great staff! Updated- on our last day, cook called out sick. The manager came in with his sweet pup and cooked for everyone. It was great as always. Coffee is really good! We will stay here again. read more

Warning: Avoid this place! This property is a complete scam. Someone walked into our room after we were settled in with a key card which was completely unnerving, we should have known what we were going to be in for. They make up false claims just to take your money. We were charged $25 for supposedly using a washcloth to remove makeup -- even though there was no visible residue and they couldn't provide any proof of their accusation. The charge was completely unreasonable, and there's no way to dispute their tactics. Ladies, beware: if you use a towel or washcloth here, expect to be unfairly charged. Stay somewhere else! It's unsafe and will absolutely scam you out of your money!! I've read other reviews with these same issues and now I'm not surprised by these false charges! read more

Horrible! Run away as fast as you can. I booked a multi night stay for a work trip. The room looked and smelled bad but I was tired. The bed was lumpy and smelled, the pillows were tiny, and I stepped in something sticky next to the bed. There was a used toothbrush and toilet hadn't been flushed before I got there. When I went to check out this morning to switch hotels, I was told I would be charged for the full stay. That's policy and there's no exemptions to policy. read more

This was a gift for my birthday a hiking vacation with my family. We selected the hotel based on the location close to the airport and north 101 to access the redwoods and hiking trails. We should have collectively scrolled and considered all the poor reviews. The hotel was not inexpensive and the quality was just not there. The staff I will say are very nice people but the property needs to be brought up to Wyndham standards. The property is not kept clean. When you arrive you see filthy windows and doors. How much does it cost to just wash the windows? The carpets in the common areas (i.e., hallways) are badly stained. The pictures of the property used to attract customers are staged and heavily photoshopped. The furniture in the rooms are in need of sanding and refinishing or just replacement. There are no elevators all stairs if staying on the second floor. Also, a big issue I noticed was there is no security at this property all exits and entrances to the guest floors are completely unlocked 24/7! There are no security cameras by the entrances and exits. This was a great fear for me and my family so we always took caution with securing our room. There was no one to help carry bags up and down stairs. They also have issues with housekeeping although you will see a cleaning cart in the early morning until late day in the hallways the front desk will tell you they have no cleaning person for the day. The bathroom linen does not smell fresh. We booked for 8 nights but left early due to the quality of the hotel and it was just sad. Again the staff seemed very nice and as helpful as they could be but they only could do as much as they could considering the ran down property. Wyndham should be ashamed or notified about this place and fix it up or remove their name from it. I truly felt cheated and robbed. read more

We have stayed here on several occasions. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but nothing special to say about it. Although they try, I think it is too expensive for the place in general. read more

Not the best Wyndham property but it will do. No pool or a gym. Friendly staff and helpful. Free breakfast is ok if you don't mind microwaveable Jimmy Dean sandwich. The room is ok size. The bedding seems clean. Bathroom was also clean. If you're staying on the first floor make sure your windows locks. Ours wasn't lock but I found out how to lock it. And do not park your car on the side where there's no lights close to the Mexican restaurant. Just don't expect a 5 star hotel if you're staying here. But it will do just to stay a night or two. read more

The staff were friendly but I did not like how they kept the fish in such a small tank. Fish are intelligent, sentient beings. Imagine yourself being trapped in a tiny room for a long period of time, all for another species' entertainment. This is animal abuse. read more

Avoid this dump! I selected it because I figured a name brand like Ramada by Wyndham would be clean and sanitary during the COVID-19 outbreak, but no. The hotel looks menacingly uncared for from the street and goes downhill from there. It needs a coat of paint and a new roof. The stairs are uneven and rotting -- I'm surprised they haven't had a Money Pit incident yet with someone falling through them. The lobby has no protective hygiene measures other than a note on the door mandating a mask. There are no hand sanitizer stations anywhere, no "clean pen/dirty pen" holders, and no plexiglass separators between guests and front desk staff. Come on, I stopped at GAS STATIONS that took hygiene more seriously. Also, anyone can walk into the lobby. Other hotels require a keycard or else you have to be buzzed in. Once checked in, I lugged my suitcase up the decaying stairs. The doors to the second floor hallway do not lock, so again, anyone can waltz in. My non smoking room had an odd, earthy, damp smell so I immediately opened the window, which afforded me a view of the trash-strewn RV Park immediately next door, where I saw people smoking out of a glass pipe (and no, it wasn't marijuana). The furnishings are outdated and include an easy chair that belongs in a low rent 192 sitcom. The bed is uneven and the TV is on a low dresser so that you can't see it when lying in bed. There are no wall sockets near the bed, so good luck charging your phone on the bedside table. The bathroom and linens look reasonably clean although the detergent used on the sheets is heavily perfumed. After about an hour in the room, I discovered that the weird, damp smell was covering up a worse smell: cigarette smoke. Yeccchhh. This is supposed to be a nonsmoking room! The walls are paper thin, so expect to hear other people snoring, having sexual, partying, etc. as you attempt to sleep... read more

I cannot recommend Ramada by Wyndham Arcata. My family was falsely charged $10 for stains on a washcloth. Despite the fact that we were not responsible for the stains in the first place, washcloths are used on the face and body and may be stained during regular use. I attempted to address the undisclosed charge that showed up on my credit card without notice with the manager before he interrupted, lied, and eventually hung up on me, it seems absurd to charge customers petty fees when advertised amenities such as a pool (present but firmly locked and we were told by the individual working the front counter that it was "closed for maintenance"; a stark contrast to the manager's interruptive lie telling me that there was no pool), a workout room that was "closed for maintenance" but actually stored publicly and readily accessible chemicals that anyone including children could access (which is a health and safety violation), exterior doors did not lock at any time of the night, and an inadequately stocked "breakfast" that was more empty than available and in violation of safe food handling and temperature regulations. It would seem to me that this hotel location should be more concerned with standards and safety protocols that could result in citations than erroneously charging guests with unverifiable "damages". Searching reviews reveals other guests who have been falsely charged. Someone at this hotel appears to be padding their pockets. read more

Very disappointed in general- from the check-in to the room to the management. This is not a Ramada, it is stuck between a motel 6 and a motel 8- we shall refer to it as a Motel 7. Where to start. There is NO POOL OR SPA. They will tell you one thing and then when you get there they let us know that it is not their pool (but the neighboring RV parks pool) and we are not allowed to use it. We were there for three nights (we tried to find another hotel but couldn't on such short notice). We were told when we went to the desk to ask for more towels (because no matter what, the shower shoots out at you and floods the bathroom- no way to regulate the shower water pressure) that we needed more towels. They told us they were out of towels and to check Back at 11- it's was 8am. Never did receive any more towels. When we got in the room first thing we noticed was the smallest tv (maybe 20") that was sitting on its stand crooked and then a broken picture frame hanging on the wall. The remote didn't work and bed skirts on both bed were ripped. There was also a random empty picture frame hanging on the wall. Yes empty frame. The beds frames were loud in general for two people to sleep on, and the pillows were so flat. I used a balled up sweatshirt to help with the pillow. I couldn't get any more towels, I wasn't going to ask for another pillow. There is no security card required to get into the building where your rooms are so anyone can walk in. There was a broken window on the top floor right when you pulled in to the gates parking lot. We tried to talk to the manager since we were paying hotel prices for a motel room, we left our 2 numbers at the desk and were told the manager would call us- never did. When we checked out we asked about it and the gentleman said "well I gave him the note" that's it. And our boys said the breakfast had steamed sausages which were terrible and waffles that were burnt. The only thing that kept us there was lack of options and that the sheets smelt like bleach so they were clean. That's it. read more

After an 8 Hour drive I arrived to the hotel and checked in. When I got to my room, I instantly had an overwhelming smell of mildew. The bathroom clearly has had water damage and it was filthy. Filth in the corners, in the vent in the ceiling, along the mirror, the doors, even the light switch had a yucky smudge on it. But it was late, and I was exhausted, I went to sleep. the next day I was gone all day. Return to the hotel in the late evening to find new towels wrapped in plastic trash bag at the door. (tacky) I went to bed, woke to use the restroom at about one in the morning and there was a huge cockroach in the bathroom. I threw a towel on top of it and I didn't sleep the rest of the night. The following morning, I told the girl at the front desk and I sent her photos. I did a follow up call with the general manager on that Monday when I returned home and he informed me that that was a field cricket. And somehow it being a field cricket made it acceptable that it was in my room and it was not a field cricket. It was a cockroach. He then proceeded to argue with me on what type of insect it was. I asked to speak with someone higher above him, he said there was no one. I asked who owns the hotel; He then finally told me it was public knowledge. I then proceeded to tell him that I would be pursuing this complaint and he then threatened me that if I continued to pursue this complaint that he would be filing ever restraining order against me. I have been in hospitality and property management for over 30 years. This hotel is filthy and the treatment by the GM was extremely unprofessional. The photos speak 1000 words. read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. The person at the front desk was the rudest person I have ever been in contact with. Spent less than 5 minutes in the ride. Reserved the room through Priceline where it clearly shows a pool as an amenity. read more

I can't recommend staying here unless you have no other options. The one positive is that the beds appear to be clean. After that it all goes down hill. It is an older building and smells of smoke and mildew. Not enough power outlets, and light bulbs needed to be replaced. We had to call for towels 3 times before they got here. We needed to replace the batteries in the remote and no one was at the desk for 45 minutes. Poorly run doesn't begin to tell the tell. We booked two rooms and requested them next to each other but nope. Why they didn't switch us to be closer is a mystery. read more

I highly recommend the Ramada inn. Chris, the manager was extremely helpful and went over the top to make sure that all of our travel needs were met. My friend and I biked the coast of Oregon, and had to get ourselves and our boxed bikes to the airport. Chris was nice enough to take us at 4 AM & even carried our bikes. He took his personal vehicle since the bikes did not fit in the courtesy vehicle. The most exceptional customer service!! He also offered to take us to bike shop to get shipping boxes. The stay was comfortable and staff overly accommodating. 5/5!! Thanks so much! read more

This hotel is unsafe and unclean. There was unwashed blood on the blankets. They did reassign me to a different room, however that room was also dirty(strange stains on the bed cover, dirty shower, dust CAKED in the light fixtures) The man at the front desk was nice and accommodating, but this hotel was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. In addition to the cleanliness issues inside of the room, there were other things that didn't sit well with me. The door leading to the outside remained unlocked all night. Also when I first walked in there was a bag of trash just sitting in the hallways. Guess it's a visual representation of how trashy this hotel really is read more

We spent one night here, two king size rooms, it was pretty expensive, the beds were comfortable, seemed clean, the pool was closed, we were told it was owned by the trailer park next door, the hotel had an easement and they couldn't tell us when it would be open again, we asked for towels and we're told they were out, the exercise room shown on website has been turned into some kind of office, same with the tennis court, it is now a weird outdoor courtyard, staff seemed nice (not super helpful), also the rooms which cost the same, one had a normal size tv and the other was bout half the size, I'd say maybe a bit overpriced certainly misleading read more

Upon arriving late from a long drive, I was horrified to find a long black hair (I have short blonde hair) In the tub. I called the front desk and a guy named Andrew said that he could change my room but I had already gotten moved in and told him that I just wanted to have a bath and go to sleep. He came and I asked him to remove the hair from the bathroom and he did. The next morning I spoke with the manager who was very nice and said that he would try to accommodate my request to have my room complimented. He also moved me across the hall to another room. I thanked him and went out for a long day. That night when I got to my new room, I checked and there was black hair hair in the drain.I felt like I was in a bad movie. I could not believe it. Bla bla bla , when I called Andrew at the front desk he told me that" I got into trouble for helping you ". Something about coming in to my room. They ended up complimenting me for one night. I guess that they didn't believe me. It made my stomach wrench. Really bad. The first hair was in the caulking and the second night it came out of the drain. Gross. Photo is read more

First 5 minutes of laying on bed and a bug was crawling on my chest. AC didn't work and then kinda worked. ALL outside doors don't shut closed, they are broken so anyone off the street can come in hotel.

There is a very good reason why this nasty place has a one star! The kitchen for breakfast dirty. Cable kept going out. Spiders in the room. Horrible!!!! We had a two night stay we did not get our room cleaned much less clean towels. Horrible!!! Then they had the nerve to charge us 50.00 extra dollars for a stain on a comforter they didn't even have a comforter on the bed! Never ever will I go back or go to any Ramada horrible service! read more

I love staying here & breakfast is good, its staff is amazing and is always helpful. I will be staying here again

Not the greatest, pretty low class for a Wyndham hotel. Basic room, fine but not the cleanest when you really look. There was so much dust and cob webs behind the night stand. The shower curtain does not stay in the tub so the bathroom gets soaked. The tv is so small and channel selection poor. When I came into breakfast the desk attendant was gaping outside. The stairs to come down from the room were really dangerous. Just janky. read more

The front desk attendant was very nice and check in/out went quickly. The strike plate on my room door was broken and I had great difficulty using the deadbolt. As a woman traveling alone I felt very unsafe in the room. The attendant on duty could not find a screwdriver to fix the lock. Also the side entry doors do not lock at night which increased my lack of safety. I would not recommend the hotel to a woman traveling alone. read more

Scarey stay. Meth addicts rent here and slam in and out of the hotel all night. Afraid for ourselves and my car. Even tried to book another hotel somewhere, but everything was booked. Smelly, run down. Cars pulling in and out until about 2:00 am and looked like drug deals going down. read more

This property does not seem to be maintained. We saw a door that had been broken and had a hole covered up with cardboard. The microwave looked like it was from the 80's. There were white stains on the bedspread and a broken headboard. Worst was the broken toilet that we reported, and the attendant had to personally come "look at it" and leave the front desk (apparently no maintenance staff.) He thought it was fine because water was still running, it just had no pressure to flush, so we were offered either a new room that someone else moved out of because it smelled horrible, or he could come try to plunge it in 30 minutes (it was already 10:00pm), or try to plunge on our own. It wouldn't work, our room was non refundable, so we paid for another hotel down the street just to leave here! read more

This motel is terrible. We stayed 3days and 4 nights. The first two days they did not clean our room even though we vacated it by 10 in the morning . The third day they cleaned it but did not do a good job!!! The bathroom mirror was still spotty. They made no apologies and acted as though we were inconviencing them. The breakfast was gross!!! I asked to be compted for at least two days. The manager said he would send our request on but I'm sure never did!!! Management's attitude sucked!!! This place should be out of business!!!!!!!

My second time staying at this location. I will say that the front desk is very friendly and when I checked in we got a goodie bag with Dasani water, trail mix bar and a be it's cracker. The rooms are are standard with a Mini fridge, coffee maker & microwave, hair dryer, toiletries but we were missing a iron and iron board. We called and they delivered. The bathroom needs updating, no tissue box holder or tissue, door frame was cracked at bottom and tub has a lot of chips. Other than that it's not noisy and they have a basic free breakfast buffet. read more

First, it is an old hotel on the coast of Arcata, has been around for a long time. So no this is not your 5 star everything is perfect type of hotel, especially when no one wants to work so they are short staffed some days but the staff they have take initiative and get it done. I came here with high expectations due to the pictures but I overestimated the room. Still paid to stay an extra night so that says something. Everything was clean, no stains in the carpet or sheets. Everything worked accordingly as it should and they have thrown their own modern twist on the building as well. The staff that is left is very respectful but do remember they are doing twice the work! ALSO! The mad river beach is only 10 min away from the hotel. Thank you Ramada team for aiding our stay! P.S pool and hot tub are closed still as of June 29, 2022 so if you are looking forward to that call to double check it is open in advance. read more

Front desk was friendly and let my 6yr old feed the fish in their lobby. Room was not very pleasing. But at least the microwave, refrigerator and AC worked, although is leaks, I ended up using the towels to soak up the leaking AC. The wall where the AC is installed is warped so I'm sure it's been a reoccurring issue. I let front desk know when I checked out. When it started getting dark, was about to turn on the lamps. All the lamps in the room was missing its little switch knob. I called front desk and they were prompt to bring in the little knobs and turn our lights on for us. They should have updated their website stating "No Breakfast". Outdoor pool was closed, understandable, it was sweater whether during our stay in August 2020. read more

Place is a circus. I clearly told the manager at night to give me a room away from the front door due to me needing peace and quiet and he tells me all the rooms are the same .

Went in the morning to complain to a guy named "sage "and he says all rooms are the same and that they were overbooked .How is this possible when the Parking lot is half empty?

I do not recommend this hotel. It is very worn and tired looking although the bedding looked clean. The door of the room next to us looked like it had been broken into and was repaired in a very shoddy manner . Our door in the bathroom was damaged and made a loud sound every time it opened and closed which was very annoying. The pillows were square and hard. It did come with a complementary breakfast which was OK. For the price we paid it was definitely not worth it and we won't be coming back to this hotel again. read more

BEWARE.....we were robbed blind at this hotel. Super suspicious the hotel clerk told us we need to park between the Mexican restaurant and the hotel. No cameras were available. We had 6 cars and 3 had smashed in windows and everything taken. Of course no camera footage and only out of town plates were robbed. This hotel is a dump. Toilet falling over in bathroom chipped paint broken door locks. Anyone can access the building. The entire community was unpleasant for the most part. I do not recommend. read more

Prior to my stay, my family was exposed to COVID and we needed to cancel. Called the hotel and was told by an employee that was no problem.

Very disappointed with this hotel that falls under the Wyndham brand. Sage the manager is awful. I was charged $10 for having a little makeup on the washcloth. I use makeup remover and they still charged me for a little mascara on it (they should upgrade to black cloths like most resorts do to avoid this). The charge was for something very petty. My granddaughter got sick because the rooms were filthy dirty. They didn't charge us for that, I guess that's where they get the 1 and only star. They removed our towels during "cleaning" but never replaced them. I had to call Zoey at the front desk 3 times to get them sent up hours later. I will never stay here again. The rooms are dirty. If you do, bring flip flops to walk around. The last visit we had there, there was a banana peel and something disgusting in the garbage They weren't going to give us another room but we were adamant they did. I should have known then the the type of place it is. I only stay here because it falls under the Wyndham brand, but never again. read more

I'll admit, reading all of the bad reviews of this place had me skeptical but it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Towels and sheets had some small stains, and breakfast was a little sad. Overall, it's just a generally run-down, old hotel that could use some updates. I probably would choose a different hotel next time, but it's not like anything here made me want to leave right away. read more
