Not awful, but I would not return

This is a historic hotel that could be so much better than it is, with only a minimal amount of effort. Rooms and interior spaces are dated and stuffy. Window could not be propped open, no screens in place, either. Complimentary breakfast was worthless, and not worth sticking around for. Zero care went in to limiting the use of plastics or single use utensils, etc. On a positive note, front desk staff was very kind and professional, both at check-in and check out. Location and free parking in front also good.

The location we thought was nice, but there were homeless people and other people in the downtown plaza all night, arguing and being very loud. Did not sleep much at all. The room was very nice, and the place was clean. The TV in the room did not work, and after informing the Hotel, they had no one to fix it and offered no discount or solutions.

So happy we could bring our kitten!

Built in 1915 and historic! Very neat place to stay with a restaurant/bar in the lobby. I like the touch of using a real key for your room. Weather was perfect in July and so much to do in the plaza!

A dump

Dusty rub down room with no central air or heat. Staff offered a space heater and to open windows if it got hot. Couldn’t open the bathroom door because toilet was in the way. Way way way overpriced for the conditions offered.

Needs Work

We enjoyed being in Arcata, with its great shops and dining options and a wonderful grocery store right up the street. However I felt the hotel could have amped up their game. The breakfast options were lackluster, the breakfast area was cold and devoid of anything comfortable. The layout of our room was haphazard. I had nothing on my side of the bed to put my iPad or phone on. The desk people were not very welcoming or warm, they hardly even smiled. All in all, not the best experience.

Historic building in a great location. Everything about the room except TV & bed was a time capsule from the early to mid 20th century, it appears. If you appreciate historic sites, you will find this place a good place to stay.

The hotel is really cool from an architectural/historic perspective. The staff was nice and the room was clean as was the property. The breakfast was extremely limited and as we arrived in the morning one of the homeless people had just finished emptying the entire stock of toast and walking off. I was traveling with a child which got to witness 3 inebriated vagrants get into a fight while yelling obscenities in the town square in front of the hotel. Not an hour later, from our room we couldn't ignore the screams of yet another fight that had broke out between a woman and another vagrant which involved more obscenities. This is not a direct reflection of the hotel but it appears the local authorities are okay with allowing this behavior to go on in the area, day and night, as families try to go about their business.

Good place, given the value price. Bed mattress/pad was a bit soft, felt slanted. Antique shower would be a challenge for older people. Small round toilet bowl: tiny for anyone over 5'9". Breakfast barebones. Area around hotel: not much activity other than homeless people in square and alley behind hotel. Quiet after 10pm though, except for some younger people screaming argument at 1:30am in alley.
