I love arcata especially downtown arcata. But since we went during the pandemic nothing was really open besides restaurants. I highly recommend people trying out the arcata pizza and deli restaurant! That place is our go to whenever we vacation.

We would like to add the photo of the room #245 showing the unclean toilet/bowl showing poop and waste toilet paper as being disgusting and totally unacceptable, but can’t be attached. We will inform the Headquarters of the hotel too. Marian R
