Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Property was well managed, maintained and secured to ensure you and your family could unwind, relax and enjoy the oasis at the hotel. The pool was great but the expansive hot tub was just what the body needed after a full day of hiking in the area parks. Couldn't say enough about the relaxing & therapeutic benefits to hitting the hot tub each night, even with a random guest the 3rd night hitting the emergency stop button like a game show contestant before asking if that was how you turned on the jets longer. Thank goodness we had already enjoyed 25 minutes of the jacuzzi before that party foul. We will book again when back in the area."

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
"The Eureka Inn is a gem in the town. It has hosted prominent figures, now including my husband and me since before WWII! Winston Churchill stayed here! The Inn is a national historic site but is not antiquated. With modern features mixing with history, the Inn is reminiscent of a time when a hotel was for relaxation. You want to turn your phones off and step back and remember quiet conversations with old friends and new acquaintances. I highly recommend the inn for its proximity to the arts district and the waterfront. Eureka is everything the slogan for the state of California embodies: โ€œ I have found it!โ€ And we sincerely loved its charm!"
