Best Western Arcata Inn
Room was great, staff was wonderful, my only problem was when the WiFi gave out while I was in the middle of a movie... at about 10pm. & didn't come back on until about 430am. I did phone up the front desk & she said 'yea, that happens' . So, other than that it was a great stay.
