The room is very clean and comfortable. Spacious as well. The restaurant didn’t seem appealing for me in my opinion. However it’s a nice hotel and easy to park.

overall good experience, nice staff, decent food. Waitresses in casino weren't that friendly, we waited for over 30 minutes for her to come back to get our check. but overall it was a good hotel and room

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Yeah, so don't go looking for the Lake. Because there isn't one. It got that name because it used to flood in that area centuries ago. Arcata is a 10 minute drive and theviews of the mountain are very pretty.

5/5 - Excellent

Arcata

Last year we wanted to go to the Redwoods, I hadn't been since I was a child and my now fiance (boyfriend at the time) had never been. We planned a trip and headed up North. It was obvious when we made it to Redwood territory because the trees got taller and taller and wider and wider. But we kept driving trying to find Redwood National Park. We tried mapping it in our GPS and wondered why we couldn't get directions to the park entrance. We finally stumbled upon a state park ranger station and decided to ask them. Turns out Redwood National and State Parks is an "area" or "region", it's not a specific place or address. We WERE in the park - there is no National Park entrance. Who knew? We explored for hours with fog rolling in and out of the trees and sunbeams darting through branches. It was magical! This is one of those places that overwhelms me and floods me with emotion! I could have spent weeks here but we only had a few days. It was such an incredible experience! I already cannot wait to go back! #wheretoexplorenext #thebestisyettocome #adventure #getlost #optoutside #getoutdoors #naturelovers #nature #adventureculture #explore #exploremore #keepexploring #wildandfree #wildernessculture #travel #travelstoke #roamtheplanet #wanderlust #travellife #travelgram #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #stayandwander #wandermore #adventureawaits #liveyouradventure #discoverearth #sheisnotlost #iamatraveler
