Who thought a rest area would excite me. Wish all were as welcoming as this one. Bright, clean, clean smelling too, restrooms with soft rock piped in for ambiance. Appeared to be recently cleaned and if you need to stretch out your legs, a delightful grove surrounded it. Poop bags for your pooch made available too.

On my way North up U.S. 101 to visit Redwood National & State Parks, I stopped off at the Trinidad Rest Area for a Bio-Break. It's a very basic rest area - but there are lots of Redwood trees right in the Rest Area to oogle and check out! Good spot for a Rest Area! #TrinidadRestArea

We arrived late at night due to some travel issues earlier in the evening and booked the last available room for $265/night. It was the only place we could find to sleep with our dog (other than our car) for at least 100 miles. Being dog-friendly, relatively quiet, and safer than sleeping in our car are about the only positive things I can say about it. The bar soap in the bathroom had obviously been used and resealed because there was a hair stuck to the bar. The lights in the parking lot, which I'm pretty sure were installed because of a theft problem given the numerous signs to lock your car, were so bright they kept the room illuminated even with all the curtains closed. The window had extra locks on it, which were certainly necessary considering the scrapes on the frame from what seemed to be previous break-in attempts. I also found several human hairs in the made beds, which makes me question how often the linens are actually changed. I've stayed in Motel 6s that were just fine, but if I ever have to stay in this one again it will be too soon.

Initially it looked like those motel where "nightly" business is conducted out of. And by "nightly" business I mean prostitution. However, once I took a better look I saw no evidence of the such. The room was decent, thought it was a strong odor some sort of chemical, I couldn't put my finger on the smell, best guess it that it was possibly layers of paint. Now, for customer service, this place is certainly lacking it. I asked for extra pillows and was told that there was no-one available to bring them to me. So instead I had to go out in the rain and get them myself. Then when I asked for and extra pillow, aside from the ones I'd already asked for. I was told that they were in the laundry locked safely way where the machines could enjoy sleeping on them instead of the guest. Ok, well the woman didn't say that exactly but that's what I translated her response to mean. Anyway for a one night stay this will suffice anything more I say get a room somewhere else.

The manager told me thank you for letting us know sorry for the inconvenience this happens all the time. When I called Priceline to get my refund they told me the manager said I didn't check out properly so price line can not issue the refund. I'm still waiting to hear from the owner

My first thought about this hotel is 'dark'…read more We booked through their app and were given a ground floor room with one window overlooking a courtyard. There is a privacy curtain and a blackout curtain over the window. Between the privacy curtain and the courtyard limiting sunlight, the room needed lights on at every time of day. A desk by the window had the one chair in the room. A small closet holds an iron and board. The ironing board had no cover to pad the metal making it useless. Space for one suitcase is just inside the door. We needed another suitcase rack but honestly, there wasn't space in the room for a portable one to be set up. The room was clean enough and the tub surround seems newer. The toilet is surprisingly low to the ground. Good amount of vanity space. Sink is 'in room' with the toilet and shower behind a door. There is an overhead heat lamp in the shower area. Towels are standard weight and clean. Multi-use products in shower. The bed is a bit soft for my preference, with clean sheets, a blanket and standard size pillows. Mini-fridge and microwave under the TV. Adding hooks just inside the door would have been welcome, as would some bright decor to make the space feel more welcoming. There is one coin operated washer and dryer for guest use and vending machines at ground level, only available during specific hours. The ice machine there does not work and the explaination 'we've been having trouble with that' feels like 'it hasn't worked in quite some time' to me. Problematic for travelers who need ice for medicine or food items. aka: why we book rooms with a fridge. No elevator to upper level so be prepared to carry luggage up the exterior staircase. All rooms are accessed from the outside. The breakfast room, through the lobby, also overlooks the courtyard and the blinds there were kept closed during breakfast service. That small oversight made the space dark and cave like. Breakfast included cold cereals, toaster items plus pre-packaged pastry, fresh fruit, waffles, two hot items, coffee and juice. Bus your table. Breakfast is not monitored by staff, the tables needed to be wiped down and many guests walked out with second breakfast. The lobby is also dark with the glass doors and windows under the portico the only source of sunlight. There is a sofa by the window there, a coffee station and some travel brochures The front desk was often unmanned. There are three 'member' parking spots and one handicap spot in the private lot at the front. The covered 'drop off' area is available by the lobby and seems to be used as staff parking. Ground floor rooms have paved pathways from the lobby to the room doors. All guests will need a raincoat to access the lobby during inclement weather. Located near the ocean and Redwood National forest the hotel is close for driving to trailheads in the National Park. The hotel is just outside the 'downtown' area and close to restaurants, coffee shops, an aquarium, a National Park visitor center, waterfront parks and a coastal trail. This hotel is 'bare bones', providing just enough with none of the small touches that make a stay more pleasant. They have what you need. Note: this city is in a tsunami zone, as much of the coastline is, so have an evacuation plan in mind jic.

Check in is with a kiosk, although there is someone there in person too if you come during their regular hours. Hair dryer didn't work. Not that many amenities too (like lotion). If you're early enough, you can grab some snacks and drinks in the morning, like apples, granola bars, and muffins. The coffee is quite poor though. Housekeeping did not come despite us intentionally flipping the sign to ask them to come. The sign was in the same position we left it in when we came back (it did not flip over to the other side). Front lady was nice though and helped grab extra towels and tissues for us despite the hiccup. Location is decent. Crescent City isn't really the nicest, but the location of this inn was close to the water, which was nice to take my dog along for walks.

The check in process, though done at a kiosk, was quick and effective. The location is within walking distance to the beach and close to some amenities. This hotel allows pets, which is great. However people were not picking up their dog's poop in the grassy area. There is no dog station with bags and garbage, which might help. It's more frustrating that people are not responsible pet owners.

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.

It also has a long history, and could become beautiful old hotel again (with a lot of renovation). The rooms were very large and had all the amenities that were necessary for a comfortable stay. My biggest complaint in the room would be that the bathroom was extremely small. There were no services on site. No restaurant, no bar...but an extremely small assortment of snack food was available for purchase at the front desk. There were, however, empty restaurant sites and a rather swanky looking out-of-business bar within the hotel. I would love to see these back in business. Throughout the hotel, there were nuggets of History, facts about the hotel and memorabilia from its former Glory Days. It was bittersweet. I would recommend a stay at the Eureka Inn only if you care about old historic hotels and want to support them. Otherwise, I would recommend walking through the lobby and learning about the history of this place. I would say stop in the bar and get a drink, but that's not possible.

My sister and I stayed at the Eureka Inn from October 1st-5th while in town for the annual Redwood…read moreCoast Music Festival. We had such a wonderful experience during our visit last year that we were very much looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, this year's stay was a spectacular failure, featuring two major issues during our stay. Neither was handled remotely well. Incident #1: Raining in the Room On our first night, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of what I initially thought was rain. It wasn't raining outside. Our ceiling was leaking directly into our room. The carpet was drenched, and the leak was directly above our closet, where dirty brown water stained and ruined a significant portion of my sister's clothing. Now, I understand that the Eureka Inn is an old building. I know that a historic property will not be without occasional maintenance issues. What I DO expect is for a hotel to take responsibility when one of those issues damages a guest's belongings and renders their room partially unusable. But apparently my expectations are too high. When my sister asked whether she could use a washing machine to try to salvage her clothing, she was told the hotel "didn't have one" and that she could walk down the street to the nearest laundromat. Like, what?!? Our room was leaking filthy water onto our belongings, and the proposed solution was essentially to hit the pavement and fix it ourselves, spending a few hours of our vacation hanging out at a laundromat?! Cool idea. We were told we could move to a slightly larger room on the same floor the following day, but even that required effort on our part. We had to repeatedly follow up with front desk staff to find out what was happening with the room change. It became increasingly apparent that if we stopped asking, nothing was going to happen. No proactive communication. No sense of urgency. No apparent concern. Incident #2: Money Vanished So I left my wallet totally out in the open in our room. We had not requested housekeeping, so we had no reason to expect anyone would be entering. I acknowledge that leaving valuables out wasn't the smartest decision, and I take responsibility for that. However, I don't believe that means I should have to accept a troubling situation without expecting management to take it seriously. On Saturday morning, I placed a fresh $100 bill in my wallet alongside another $100 bill. I rarely carry cash, which is precisely why I remember this detail so clearly. When I went to retrieve one of those bills to pick up our Chinese food on Saturday afternoon, both bills were gone. My wallet had not left the room. I cannot definitively establish who took the money, and I'm not going to make an accusation I cannot prove. What I can say is that $200 was missing from my wallet during our stay, under circumstances that warranted a serious conversation with management. So I brought the issue to the front desk staff and they sent me to the General Manager. His response? He showed me a list of rooms that had requested housekeeping in order to "prove" to me that no one had gone in our room and informed me that "this has never happened before." And that was essentially it. "This has never happened before" is not an investigation. It is not reassurance and it is certainly not a resolution. No meaningful investigation communicated to me. No substantive explanation. No indication of what, if anything, could be done to look into the matter. I asked if perhaps he could check the cameras to see which staff members were on our floor and he said "we don't have cameras on the third and fourth floors". Greato. And, to be clear, I wasn't expecting the General Manager to pull $200 out of thin air. I was just expecting him to take a serious concern seriously. We LOVED our stay last year. We returned here expecting another enjoyable visit and instead spent our time dealing with water pouring through the ceiling, clothing damaged by dirty water, a room change we had to repeatedly chase down, and $200 missing. These are two separate incidents, but the underlying problem was remarkably consistent. When something went wrong, we were left to push for answers and solutions ourselves. The building's age isn't the issue. Unexpected maintenance problems happen. What distinguishes a good stay from a bad one is how the staff responds when guests are affected. Basic communication, a sense of urgency, and a little genuine concern would have made a world of difference. We won't be returning, and I would encourage anyone considering a stay to think carefully about how this hotel handles things when they go wrong.

Our orca whale room was small, but will organize for a family of four. The bathroom had mold on the corners of the ceiling and some of us suffer from asthma, so that wasn't too great. We tried having the sliding door open as much as we could during the day and close during the chilly night. The bathroom has no windows. On the wedding day, we had a breakfast buffet set up downstairs for the guest in nearby close family members. We were already having our meal when the bride and the house manager came towards us asking if my daughter had eaten the waffles. Gladly she was eating the sausages first. The house manager added almond flour on the waffles. She denied she was not aware of any food allergies when the bride responded back that she gave them the food survey. The survey had a question about food allergies and we added tree nuts a two months before the wedding. The house manager did not seem apologetic at all, this is the reason why we decided to review this place. Beware if you have family or friends with food allergies especially during events for this location.

3 stars...... 2.5 isn't an option…read more Overall experience: It ended up being an acceptable time here. There are positives and some negatives that I will explain. Main concerns: * Overpriced for overall stay / experience * Unpleasant, extremely outdated decor; hard to ignore Positives: * Beautiful ocean view * Nice garden * Close to trailheads * Communal fridge filled with cold drinks; breakfast (I know it's a B&B but for this price, in-room coffee would've been nice.) * Very clean rooms * Hosts were kind, pleasant, informative Negatives: * Decor: The first impression was alarming at best. Online photos do leave you with the impression that the decor is dated but it is overwhelming to actually see once there. I had to walk back to the car and process whether I could actually stay here. After looking up availability of neighboring lodging and seeing no options (and considering the loss of money already spent here...), we decided to go inside. Instead of walking in the door, you have to use the old, outdated intercom where you're asked if you have a reservation. After being let in, we were still experiencing a lot of feelings ("creepy" is the word we kept repeating to each other and "Grandma's estate sale".). While the host was polite and informative, the environment / decor was so outdated, it was hard to get past or ignore. I spent half the day working to force myself to not feel uncomfortable here; I should feel good about the stay - not spend considerable vacation time talking myself into not feeling grossed out by it. * Cost of stay: Considering this was the most expensive option in the area, I expected more / better. Besides the overall decor, our bath towels had bleach stains on them. And be sure to bring your own bath supplies. The ones provided that are boasted about on the website.....looks like they bought Dollar store products, stuck old-fashioned-looking labels on and have refilled over and over. I did not feel comfortable using them at all. Summary: * Nice hosts. Great view. That's it. * Would I stay again or recommend to others: Hard no. You think it's obvious to want an ocean view but I'd easily pass on the view for a more comfortable place to stay. We actually left a day early. Could be good if recommendations here and in other reviews are taken and implemented. Relying solely on "the view" isn't cutting it.
