The Motel smelled like pot, but then again, so does this entire town!! See full review

Super 8 - Arcata, California

The hotel was pretty clean, with a nice, friendly staff, and the location was not terrible. We were there on Halloween weekend and there seemed to be a bit more noise going on than I would have anticipated. Traffic in the hallways was quite loud, we could hear voices and footsteps all night.

Decent room, decent price

The rooms were ok- clean and what not. Our bathroom could have used some TLC before we started our stay. It guess, for the price, can't complain.

Building needs lots of repair, everything worn and dirty

transients sleeping in the stairwell, shady people hanging around and dogs not on leashes. Breakfast was old cereal, pre packaged breakfast rolls, and juice machine had a tag on it "out of juice" for 4 days. Working on building next door 24 hours/day. Whole building smelled like cigarette smoke. In years past has been much better, at least clean.

You get what you pay for.

Our stay at Super 8 was ok but the beds were very uncomfortable, everytime my husband moved it sounded like the bed was going to break. It had a good location but I think they need to replace the beds and make the place cleaner by revamping the furniture and carpet.

Ok at best

A little bit dumpy. It was nice enough, but just little things. Such as, I had to flush three times to "dispose" of waste. The hot and cold water direction in the shower was reversed. The room smelled just too much of carpet deodorant. But the TV worked, there was plenty of hot water, and the beds were ok.

good enough!

It was clean, had some amenities like hair dryer and coffee pot (cheap, but worked for the most part). The crowd outside the motel was kind of edgy, kind of made us wonder if people were living in the motel. It was cheap for the area, although I think the Motel 6 across the street was a bit cheaper, judging from their sign. Oh yeah, the bed was pretty hard-- the hardest we've found so far on our trip.

Not much to eat around there but fast food. So bring some good snacks, or drive into the city.
