This hotwl has become our go to when in Eureka or surroubding towns. The staff is so nice, helpful, and always smiling. The rooms are quiet, clean, and feel very private. The pool area is awesome, when swiming or sitting in the hottub, I never felt uncomfortable or as if i were too close to others. The housekeeping and breakfast staff is very nice and pay attention to detail. We will always stay here as long as it stays this way.

REBECCA, Woodstock

Didn’t even make it inside. Pictures online and the reviews are deceiving. Pulled up to the property, proceeded to watch a drug deal go down, and had 2 homeless people case our car. Said hell no, and drove to the next town to get a room. Wasted $220, but my safety is worth more!

The property itself was older but kept up well and the staff was very nice. There was a complimentary limo service to the restaurants from 5-10pm (they accepted tips as payment). The room was clean, nice tv, clean bathroom, keurig coffee maker in the room, and the bed was decent. The surrounding area was the issue. There was a dispensary directly behind our property and about a block away started the mini skid row. A lot of homeless actively doing drugs in plain sight. Walking around the old town area felt safe until you turned the wrong corner, and unfortunately that was the area that led to the hotel. There was one other route along the main road that was a little safer, but still not great for walking with kids or by yourself.

I have to admit that I was a bit, surprised how the location of this motel was able to ward off all of the homeless that live all the way around it we were never bothered by anyone no one ever came through the parking lot vehicle seem to be real safe, I was impressed. I’m not sure what the security is at. Best Western but kudos to you. You did a good job.

Be aware…this property is situated between 4 marijuana dispensaries and it smells like it. It is also two blocks from a soup kitchen and 3 blocks if homeless camps. When we asked if it was safe to walk 4 blocks to a restaurant, the clerk said,”Yes. Absolutely!” The room smelled like someone had used an entire bottle of awful air freshener. The room was dark and old, nothing like pictures online. The bathroom shower and floor needed a good cleaning as well. Because of the smell, cleanliness and safety concerns we cut our trip short and left as soon as we could in the morning.

This BW exceeded our expectations. Our room was large and comfortable; the breakfast was excellent; and the patio and pool area looked really fun. We especially appreciated the availability of the complimentary car service to take us to and from dinner at a local restaurant in downtown Eureka. We would happily stay at this property again.
