I love this hotel because of its historical significance. It’s charming and comfortable. Microwaves and refrigerators are not available in rooms, but that’s okay for this type of historical place. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs was excellent. More cafes and pastries around the area than we could try during our 2 day stay. I will be back.

staff was decent, some more hospitable than others. this hotel is uncomfortably outdated. the carpet & synthetic floors look yellow and dirty. the area around the tub was rusty. no screens on the windows which is fine, but then spiderwebs right at them. smelly which honestly is probably the carpet. the bathroom ceiling looked moldy. need a little fridge in the room since food options at night are super limited and I had brought yoghurt & pizza that I had to throw away, but I could have eaten it if there was a fridge. the pillows are hard. the style of the hotel is nice but needs to be renovated and deep cleaned. I feel upset about this experience. for how much this costs, I expect at the very least a clean space. the complimentary breakfast should have at least eggs. it was toast waffles & yoghurt. coffee was super light & unenjoyable.

We were on the second floor and there is no A/C, which is fine. We opened the windows because it was so hot, but there were no screens and it was very noisy as it seemed to be a popular area at night. A lot of homeless people in the area but the park across the street was kept very clean. Liked the layout of the hotel suite but be aware it’s over 100 years old so just know that going in. Very nice staff. It was a great building, just a little awkward with a pet and the windows open.

Rm 231... By far the best hotel shower I've ever experienced, and I've traveled the country coast to coast & border to border annually for 20 years staying in 100's of hotels. This stay was for pleasure. I joined local friends to peruse the Friday market and the Saturday Farmer's Market. Parking can be tricky. Some stress leaving my vehicle parked on the street. No issues occured. I'm not finding any reasons to book elsewhere on my next Arcata visit.

A 1915 era hotel that maintains that atmosphere. Very nostalgic downtown hotel with original fixtures and accoutrements that will take you back to the roaring 1920s. We liked it.

Excellent Historic Hotel

Hotel Arcata is a historic landmark, an older hotel, well-maintained. Some people might find the facilities a little "tight". The rooms are a bit smaller than average and the bathroom facilities are dated. However, in this case, this is actually part of the charm of the place but it might not be best for families. As a solo traveler, I found the accommodations to be charming and the central location in the Arcata Plaza to be excellent with many shopping and eating options within walking distance. There are other options for hotels locally but they lack the charm and sophistication of the Hotel Arcata. The staff here is excellent and very knowledgeable about the area so I would highly recommend this property with the caveats previously stated.

Great location, uncomfortable beds

The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We originally had one room booked, but because of plumbing issues they had to put us into two separate rooms, which was fine. The beds were very uncomfortable. They need new mattresses. Carpets could also do with a refresh.

An aging hotel that owners have done their best to update. No AC, but do you really need it in Arcata? It would be nice if the windows had screens. We would stay again but only for one night. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
