Arcata Vacations from $479

First off, stunning. The home is beautiful. It is well decorated. It is meticulously cleaned. The person running it promptly will greet you and go over everything. It is at the end of a street, so traffic is not bad and at night there is not a lot of noise. Depending on which room you are in, you can see the bay or the town. Because it is on the second level, you can keep the windows open for fresh cool air all night. I gave it 4/5 stars on "how the property is kept". This rating was only based on the exterior because it was under construction when we went. Therefore, parts of the home were taped, covered and loose material was spread about the yard. I gave 3/5 stars regarding amenities because of the bathroom situation. I realize we no longer use chamber pots, so logistics of a bathroom was probably an issue for the people planning out the new layout. Not sure that can be resolved in the future. I personally was not prepared to share (especially with the nightly cost). That it is my only issue with the home. Because it is a shared bathroom, If I was on a girls trip or having an overnight sleep over with the girls, staying for a birthday, baby, wedding shower (or some other occasion) and knew everyone renting on the top level I would do it again. Matter of fact, I am recommending it to my besties. I just would not want to share with strangers, but that is just me.

A tired old hotel with adequate rooms. Restaurant open only on some days.

Clean and comfortable room. Nice staff.
