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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Historic hotel, located on the Arcata plaza and within walking distance of several restaurants. The staff was great, parking very close and the hotel provides a parking pass. We didn’t partake of the breakfast but it’s there.

Staff was very nice. The Hotel could use some updating. The bathtub/shower was the antique type which is cute but not for the elderly or fall-risk people. Not sure if all the bathrooms are like this? Worth asking if this is an issue for you.

Nice historic building in the center of town. Very nicely maintained and the staff are quiet but friendly enough. The back of the hotel can get noisy with nightly alley mini parties. Our bed was basically U-shaped and we struggled to not roll into the middle of the bed. That was our only complaint. Parking is excellent and there’s a very good sushi restaurant in the lobby. There’s also a good number of places to eat around the plaza and in the surrounding neighborhoods.

It is a neat hotel with character. It is clean and well maintained. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but there are definitely some negatives: The breakfast was pitiful. I was forced to go out for breakfast. There is no dedicated parking and since the hotel is located in the middle of a tourist town, finding street parking was not easy. I had to park several blocks from the hotel. There were often homeless people congregating on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. I would have to walk around them and through their marijuana smoke to get in and out of the hotel.
