Historic building in a great location. Everything about the room except TV & bed was a time capsule from the early to mid 20th century, it appears. If you appreciate historic sites, you will find this place a good place to stay.

Arcata

The hotel had old school charm, great location, and staff were very friendly. Room was heated via space heater, the radiator system must have been broken, the breakfast was sub par. For an average of over $200 a night with parking, would expect a bit more. Still an overall nice place.

The staff was very kind and attentive, I especially appreciated Zach at the front desk. This is a great place to stay for the true Arcata experience. Parking is easy especially with the included parking pass, and you have a front row seat to the Saturday morning Farmers Market. Lots of great shopping and restaurants footsteps away. My room was clean and more spacious than I expected. It's good to note that this is an area with student life and a bar or two, so you might experience some noise after-hours. The fan in my room provided enough white noise that I was able to tune it out. The included continental breakfast is not the most generous I have ever seen provided, mostly consisting of coffee, juice, and a sad looking bagel or two. However, there are plenty of wonderful cafes nearby if you'd like something hot and fresh. I will definitely stay here again as the convenience and central location can't be beat.

We had a great stay. It’s a unique experience in a historical hotel. It felt like we stepped back in time in a really good way. We loved that we could walk around town to all of the cool shops and restaurants. There was a farmers market right out the front door on Saturday morning and it was beautiful. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual corporate hotels that don’t have character and charm. The staff was super helpful. We are already planning our next visit.

Hotel is conveniently located. Front desk staff could not be kinder. Rooms are rundown, poorly lit, in tough shape. Also, bathroom was not truly clean when we checked in. And the bathroom was not fully stocked each day. We had to keep asking for soap, shampoo, etc. And one day, they even forgot to make the bed. Overall, an extremely disappointing experience. And not inexpensive. This hotel should do better.

Great location, but old and tired

The hotel has a great location right on the town square. Has a classic old hotel feel. But also feels old and tired. You can easily hear your neighbors. Small space heaters provided to heat the room. The continental breakfast was at best mediocre. Not sure I would stay there again.

Great stay

We stay here every time we come into Arcata. It is clean and charming, beds are comfy and I love the clawfoot bathtubs in the room. The building is over 100 years old so each room has it's only personality.

The hotel definitely had charm but is obviously old. The staff were cordial and friendly. My room had no thermostat or hair dryer. There is no parking associated with the hotel and though the hotel does provide a parking pass to avoid the 2 hour parking constraint, finding parking is challenging especially on Fridays when parking in the square is prohibited due to the farmers market on Saturday.

Cool hotel

Hotel attracts is cool. It's old and funky, but clean. It's right on the plaza where the freaky action happens. Breakfast could use some work, but there's good restaurants near by.
