The inn was quaint and in a good location for the old town area. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. We stayed in the main building which is quite old and there is no sound proofing. Also the tub didn't drain properly as likely older plumbing.The staff, especially Sarah, were very friendly and the complimentary wine hour is good.

Even thou the Inn in the downtown area. The location is safe, plenty of parking and the facility keeps the front door lock after happy hour bar closes @ 10pm. The facility is a lovely clean cute place to stay. Troy at the front is very personable and friendly. He was a pleasure to chat with. The morning breakfast was nice and the server was a delight. She sat us to our table even thou we were a tad late. The rooms are clean and stocked with the simple amenities in the bathroom. The over all stay was lovely positive experience. I would stay here again with my dog next visit.

An oasis in the middle of downtown Eureka. Very nice accommodations and very friendly staff. There are a number of homeless people in the area and we heard a lot of idd sounds during the night. Dinner and breakfast was very good. Would stay here again if in Eureka.

Amazing jewel

The inn was wonderful. From the lavender blooming in its gardens to the plush towels and bathrobes. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was spacious. Breakfast was a culinary treat both mornings. The restaurant wasn’t open the two days of our stay, the menu promised a tantalizing array of food.

There was no enough parking for our vehicle at night and we had to park on the street with lots of homeless about. The toilet kept getting stuck and wasting water. The staff in the breakfast room and front desk were nice, but needed help during the busy breakfast and afternoon check in times.
