Hotel Arcata

Superb

Liked: Location! Smack right at the center of downtown. Love the history of the place and the characteristics of the room. The water pressure of the shower was strong. Had several big windows in my room that gave lots of light and fresh air during my stay.
Disliked: Tv was not really working but I have gadgets with me so didn't even bother at all. The bathroom sink drain was slow but was not a big deal.

Would stay again in a...

Liked: Clean. Japanese restraunt down stairs. Very central to nice town.
Disliked: Strict pet policy.

Great location, comfortable and dogs...

Liked: Location is great and always such a welcome place to stay near the end of my annual road trip. My late husband and I enjoyed being there at the end of our camping trips in the Trinity Alps. I appreciate that dogs are always welcome there.
Disliked: A refrigerator in the room would be nice.

Disappointing

Grand historic hotel in the...

Liked: I love classy, old and/or historic hotels. I love that there are actual keys to the rooms, claw-foot tubs, the look and feel of the lobby, the photography on the walls, the large staircase that descends into the lobby. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast options are really good, esp the ability to make your own waffle. Staff are great and I appreciate the parking permit that lets cars park in 2hr spots overnight and up to 11 a.m. the next day. Arcata is a lovely, charming town - very walkable. Great restaurants, bookstores, and a fabulous Coop grocery that stocks local food products, produce and fresh bread. We stop there one day each July, on our way back to California. Wish I could stay longer!
Disliked: This time, mostly nothing except we didn't have a fresh bar of soap in the bathroom. Not a big deal. In the past, sometimes the water didn't drain quickly in the sink - but it's a very old hotel and I expect there will be plumbing problems occasionally. The shower was great this morning.

Liked: The room was huge and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The location is great, right downtown at the main square with lots of parking in the area.
