Door would not unlock entering and exiting office. Talked to a screen - very creepy. Took a long time check in - parts of process were awkward to say the least.

Had a great stay at the Cal-Poly Motel 6! I really liked the ease of check-in with the virtual agent. I also actually liked the cozy room size, it was clean and compact. I will say, it could use a more efficient heater. The lady that assisted after hours at the desk was friendly, polite, and my pup loved her! She checked in occasionally and helped with any room needs. A good location, it’s central to a lot of good food, parks, and walks and I felt safe, even walking my pup at night. Would definitely stay again when in Arcata!

There was nobody in the office. It was self serve with a weird computer check in system. I arrived at 3:00 and left at 9 a.m. I was in and out multiple times and never saw anyone working there. This made me uncomfortable enough that I most likely won’t stay there again.
