Hotel was centrally located for my work and food options on my trip. Staff was friendly, room was clean and shower worked well. Sink water pressure was pretty bad and bed was fairly comfortable.

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
