Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved our time here. We loved the historic vibes and the mid century modern aesthetic that was nice compliment to the craftsman building. We were welcomed with a drink at check-in and also had some complimentary beverages in the fridge in the room. Beds were comfy. showers were excellent with serious water pressure. Something to change? I would work on a better way to filter/clean out the provided pour over coffee (which was local and terrific). Drinks at the onsite bar were great. Would we stay here again? Absolutely, we're looking forward to our next visit.

Hidden Humboldt Gem!

Had an excellent stay here! The rooms are spacious and well decorated, staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and its located right off highway 101 with easy access to all of Humboldt County. Great for those who appreciate historic hotels and vintage vibes. Extra great if you happen to love Twin Peaks/David Lynch—very those vibes.

Liked: Cleanliness
there are no elevators. The women at the front desk told us we would have to carry our suitcases up the 2+ flights of stairs. No air conditioning and the room was boiling hot when we entered. Had to call to find out there was a fan in the closet. Morning desk clerk was very helpful though.

Wow, what a gem this place is! Absolutely gorgeous, friendly staff and great decor. It was nice to sip our coffee in the lovely lobby in the morning. Beautiful lawn covered in white flowers. Drove over to Fortuna for DELISH pizza at Paul's Live from NY. Fantastic pit stop on our NorCal drive!

The food options are very limited, the coffee and muffins were not great. The Wonder bar was not open, the hallways were too dark but the restoration was so lovely and the staff was great ! I was overall so thankful they restored it, I wish I knew to bring my own wine and food

Very interesting and well restored older property. Currently no restaurant or food on site. Grocery just across the street. Easy drive to options in neighboring communities. Closest property to Humboldt Redwoods and amazing hiking. Be prepared for lots of stairs and no AC. Bed was comfortable. We booked a suite with two bedrooms and one bath in between. Not really suited for 4 adults, better for family with kids. Probably would have preferred two separate room but price was right. Overall, enjoyed our brief stay.

Friendly staff and quick check in. Free drinks was great, but to get food was 7 miles away. The market across the street was already close when we got there. No table in the rooms to sit and eat. No counter in the bathroom for our toiletries. This hotel is over 100 years old. It’s different from our typical hotels.
