Comfortable option for travelers
Quick stop here for two nights while passing through area visiting Redwoods parks. Not near anything else since by local airport, however was very close to Arcata and Eureka where we could easily grab good food. Quiet, comfortable and clean.

Fantastic
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.
