Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Eureka, CA – Redwood Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is always real welcoming and quick!"

The Snoozzz Inn

4/10 Poor

"The room was relatively clean, the parking lot was surrounded by chain link fence and no one was at the front desk when I arrived and not when I left. The motel took my credit card for a potential $200 charge for damages. My room was on the outside of the property and the double pane window had been smashed up from the outside. The inside pane was intact. There was no one available to report it to."

Comfort Inn Arcata - Humboldt Area

10/10 Excellent

"I didn't use the laundry service. The air conditioning kept the room just right. The breakfast had eggs,potatos and sausage, waffles, yogurt, bagels and cream cheese, and 3 varieties of cold cereal. I felt this room was a great deal. I used the spa and it and the pool were clean and the perfect tempetature."

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"Place is pretty cool being a historic hotel but does show signs of wear- it is over 100 after all. Smells a bit musty. No hot water at all evening or morning, staff didn’t seem to care and certainly not surprised. No restaurant or bar which they said was all of a sudden…not too sure about that. Breakfast included was cold cereal and microwavable egg sandwich -better than nothing. Fruit was fresh. Staff friendly and bed comfy. Would stay again if in a bind. "

Blue Lake Casino & Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"We checked out first thing in the morning. Didn't even stay our weekend. We left Saturday morning due to the noise levels. Each room, you can hear what the room next to you is saying or obnoxious laughter. Dealt with yelling and insanely loud people in the next room. Staff did nothing but call the room and they continued. Told the staff and checked out. Hoping for a refund and proper cancelation. Waited 2 hrs for a "supervisor", then told he wouldn't be there until that night. Horrible experience, no sleep, and will never go back. Staff was rude the entire time."
