The Hotel was neat & clean. Great staff. I booked this hotel after being worried about safety in Eureka based on reviews. Actually, Eureka did not look that scary but this Hotel was definitely safe.

Even though it’s near the airport, it’s quiet and it’s conducive for resting. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was clean as well, I like the big mirror with good lighting. The free All American breakfast was great, and keeps you energized for the day. Me and my husband would come back again to this hotel specifically, if we’ll be in town.

Best Stop on the Trip

We are currently on a long road trip with 9 stops. The Holiday Inn Express was our 6th hotel, and it was by far the best. We arrived too late to enjoy the hot tub but were pleasantly surprised that it opened at 5:30 AM. My husband, our son, and I got to enjoy the pool and hot tub all to ourselves the next morning then enjoy a nice hot breakfast before exploring the coast and Redwoods. Having stayed at so many hotels with poor AC, dingy bathtooms, weak water ptessure, rock hard beds, etc., it was so worth it to pay a little extra to enjoy the comfort and cleanliness at this hotel. My husband thought the bed was a tad firm, but I had zero complaints. I wish all Holiday Inn hotels were this nice!
