Hotel Arcata

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.

Superb

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.

Overpriced for only okay

Liked: Location
Disliked: It’s really climbed up in price over the years! You’re only renting a bed and a bathroom. And no way is 1 person using that much utilities. As usual, the WiFi did not work and some sort of mechanical noise vibrated the room.

Superb
