7.2/10 Good! (156 reviews)
The staff was extremely nice and helpful except for one lady who wasn’t there very long building in room fairly clean, but definitely outdated and a bit ran down. The area is heavily populated by homelessness and drug activity.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (896 reviews)
This hotel reminded us of the glory days of Eureka. The room was nice, but a bit noisy as we needed open windows at night, which lets in traffic noise. The architecture of the place is great. All the staff are personable, friendly, and helpful.
