This is a nice place to stay while in Arcata: centrally located and charming. It is a bit basic, but has a good deal of old world charm in an otherwise funky, hippy, fun town.

It was how you would consider a historic hotel to be. It was charming, but old. The plumbing didn't drain that well and there was some road noise from traffic on the street, but it was clean, super cute and walkable to everything in the downtown area. There was no hotel parking, but they give you a pass for street parking and we never had an issue finding parking close by. Would definitely stay there again if we were in the Arcata area.

The experience of staying on the square in Arcata is so fun but only stay if you go in expecting a lot of noise and partying. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. It's great to walk out to the market on Saturday morning and the 2:00 a.m. noise is a lot but it's a great place to stay.

This is a beautiful, old hotel, right in downtown Arcata. Location is super convenient and the vibe is cool. The room we stayed in was tiny, with only a double bed, but we knew that going in. The biggest downside was the noise at night. Being in the heart of downtown means you are very close to the bars and noises of a college town. We stayed on a Saturday night and the next morning we asked at the front desk if it was always that noisy. The desk clerk was very polite and helpful and said it is hit or miss, but advised that next time we could ask for an interior room, which would be less noisy. Parking is tough as most of the spots nearby are 2 hours only during the day.

Older/historic hotel in the middle of town, right on main square. Room was on small size, but as expected for a historic property. Shower and water pressure in our room was awesome. Nothing better than robust hot shower after day of travel or outdoor. Breakfast was spartan, but enough. Not much more than bagel and waffle, but we’ve had worst. Location was nice, downtown Arcata is nice with nice boutique shops and nice town square. Finally the onsite Japenese restaurant, Tomo, I think separate from hotel, was very very good and super easy. Enjoy

It’s a cute historical hotel but needs some TLC. They have claw foot tubs but couldn’t regulate the water either the shower was too hot or too cold. If you have mobility issues you couldn’t get in the tub to shower. Bed was comfy and it’s in the heart of the square but needs a little work. Staff was great and the restaurant was delicious!

This is a historic hotel with basic, but very clean rooms. We enjoyed the Venicia Italian Restaurant on the main plaza was quite good (large portiions!) and a fancy, big bar. As long as you are not there the night before the main square market, parking right next to the hotel entrance is easy and there was plenty.

The property itself was fantastic a lot of old school charm. We loved the aesthetic. Staff was super friendly! Hotel was great! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the community of vagrants in the town square right outside the hotel.

Nice historic hotel. With that there's no ac but the windows open to cool it down. Downside is you hear the traffic and drunks at night. I plan on staying again as none of that bothers me but if your a light sleeper beware. The clawfoot tub was nice and the staff is wonderful and the location is fantastic. Parking can be tough

Arcata is a neat little town. Hotel is located directly on the square. Several restaurants close by. We went to a yummy little pizza and donuts shop for dinner. Hotel is dated but clean. No fridge or microwave in the room. The free breakfast was meager. All carbs. No protein.
