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!

The Front Porch Inn is a coastal artesian dream. The hosts responded quickly and the instructions were very easy to follow.

We stayed in the Hideout room; decorated in thoughtful 70's vintage decor, the room was clean and well supplied. The bed and linen were cooling and comfortable. We slept great. The only...only thing is that the shower is small, but they used the available space. Speaking of space, the private tub was WONDERFUL. Plenty of hot water. And the aptomsphere was unbelievably romantic and relaxing. With the amount of vegetation around you may see a cobwebs or two, but in no way is it dirty or un-kept. We very much recommend The Front Porch Inn!

Our check-in experience was incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily unpleasant because of the…read morebehavior of the front desk attendant, Aaron. After a tiring 6-hour drive, I requested a ground-level room because two members of our party could not comfortably manage the stairs--an elderly woman and a man with limited mobility. Since the hotel has no elevator, this was a very reasonable request. Aaron responded by repeatedly sighing--loudly, deeply, and dramatically--throughout nearly the entire check-in process. I have honestly never heard someone sigh so many times during one conversation. His reaction was so exaggerated that it came across as immature, rude, and completely unprofessional. The most irritating part was that he eventually gave us a ground-level room anyway. So apparently the request could have been accommodated from the beginning without the theatrical breathing, visible annoyance, and attitude. When you work at the front desk of a hotel, basic courtesy and hospitality should not be optional. Guests should not be made to feel guilty or burdensome for asking for a room that accommodates mobility limitations. After 6 hours on the road, the last thing we needed was to be greeted by an employee acting as though helping us was a tremendous personal inconvenience. Aaron desperately needs a refresher course in professionalism and customer service. The dramatic sighing may be appropriate for a teenager being asked to clean their bedroom, but it has no place behind a hotel front desk.

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.

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.
