Very Good

The. Breakfast in the morning was good and had eggs, potatoes & sausage, waffles, fruit, cereal, pastries, juice, & coffee. Inside the lobby was a large container of water with lemon’s for guests. Everything was clean and the rooms were clean. My only complaint is the mattress is hard.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel seemed a little dangerous lots of homeless people wandering around.
There were stains on the sheets and blankets, there was a hole in the wall, had no allergy information on the breakfast stuff and staff never seemed to be available to ask questions. There were no bed bugs. The water was gross. I expect my deposit back after that whole debacle.
The room was great and the amenities. Not wanting to sound like a Karen, but the coffee was awful for breakfast and the food (specifically the powdered eggs, something that looked like sausage.) I feel that they could do better in the food area for the price you pay per night.

This hotel is exactly what one expects from Comfort Inn: A good night's sleep and a passable breakfast. Nothing more — but that's good enough.
Clean, quiet and convenient. 5 to 10 minutes drive from Arcata's Plaza. Complimentary breakfast was also included and surprisingly decent.

The stay was good. Only thing is the toilet was acting a little crazy. we had to hold down the handle or flush twice. and the shower wasn’t real easing that much water.
It's 20 minutes to the Redwood Forrest and 20 minutes to the Eureka Skywalk. Had good standard breakfast with waffles, yogurt, fruit cearal and coffee. Love that they make recycling easy. Would stay again.

Clean comfortable, mini-fridge could use an upgrade. Breakfast options sparse.
