Hotel Arcata

Nice historic building in the center of town. Very nicely maintained and the staff are quiet but friendly enough. The back of the hotel can get noisy with nightly alley mini parties. Our bed was basically U-shaped and we struggled to not roll into the middle of the bed. That was our only complaint. Parking is excellent and there’s a very good sushi restaurant in the lobby. There’s also a good number of places to eat around the plaza and in the surrounding neighborhoods.

We love this place, parking is a little inconvenient, especially when there's an event going on. We would definitely stay here again, they breakfast was good, the town is very cute

I loved the architecture and historical photographs. The room was clean. The hallway leading to the room had a strong unpleasant odor, but the room smelled better. We were able to let the fresh air in with large windows. The restaurant, Tomo, was great! The shower flooded the bathroom floor because the water pressure was so high it splattered on the floor even with the shower curtain draped inside the tub. Great black out curtains, but you can hear everyone's business as they laughed and spoke loudly walking around town which they did well past 10pm. There is a baseball stadium a block away and we could hear every word the announcer said over the PA. Luckily I brought earplugs. Unhoused people sit outside the hotel which was a little scary, but honestly they were quiet and nothing happened.

I was pleasantly surprised with the property and location. It is right on the Arcata plaza. It’s a very nice down town area with lots of shops and restaurants all in walking distance of the hotel. The hotel itself is charming and well kept. I felt very fortunate to have found the Hotel Arcata last minute at the start of the Labor Day weekend on my drive up the coast. The parking is free and easy. The breakfast is included and very simple. The room clean but a little noisy from the busy street below.
