The room was clean, the shower was divine, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Old school hotel, but nice staff and room was in nice condition for its age and how they maintained the decor for the period it was built. We would stay again!
Windows that actually open and a ceiling fan are hard to come by in hotels so I really appreciated the fresh sea air and fan here. Plus a comfy bed and pillows and hot shower made for a great stay.

Nice old style hotel on plaza ok breakfast great desk staff
Beautiful Victorian hotel from outside but very old inside with older carpet, dark colours throughout and missing charm of the era. Best thing was the clawfoot bathtub!
Our room was on a side street which was very noisey all night.
Too bad that effort had not been made to restore what used to be a very clsssy hotel.
My grandson senior year and we’ve stayed here 4 years!! Love it!! Walking distance to school!! Restaurants snd thrifts in square and farmers market!! Cool!

Room was nice. Bed was a little small. Overall a nice stay.
This hotel has amazing potential - but it needs significant work on the basic conditions. It is over 100 years old and in need of a full restoration of all basic infrastructure and all new FF&E. It is not appropriately priced for the condition. I for one, would love to be a GM of the restoration and see what would be possible.
Historic charm with modern amenities. Situated right on the town square of Arcata. The hotel issues you a parking pass which works everywhere but immediately around the square. Lots of great dining options all within walking distance. The restaurant off of the lobby was excellent. Room was very clean, bathroom was large with a claw foot tub (and amazing water pressure).
