Best Western Arcata Inn
Clean and quiet. The rooms were super spacious. Quick, easy check-in. Tip: Use a credit card, not a debit card, or they charge a $200.00 deposit. Never heard of that before. Awesome hot tub and pool. Really great breakfast.

Super 8 by Wyndham Arcata
The breakfast does not seem fresh like other hotels that I stayed during my trip. For example, the juice punch does not look fresh and it was not enough - it was running out.

Hampton Inn & Suites Arcata
Tyler was very helpful when we checked in late and when we got home and discovered my daughter left a bag in room. He told us what to do and that they will send it when they receive the shipping label

Ramada by Wyndham Arcata
We had the best room for my husband that needed a lower floor with easy walking access. The staff was exceptional. Breakfast choices were everything we needed and the area was spotless. This is our second visit here and we will be back again.

Motel 6 Arcata, CA - Cal Poly Humboldt
Ultra comfy bed, but odd shower with low water pressure and not-quite hot water. Very noisy people upstairs. Weird virtual check-in, difficult to understand the very thick accent, but he was helpful enough.
