Comfort Inn Arcata - Humboldt Area

Comfort Inn Arcata - Humboldt Area

8/10 Good
"It was a good place to stay and the price was better than most in that area. The staff were nice. The room was clean. We had a bed that seemed to have a broken foundation. When you sat at the head of the bed, the whole mattress tilted and you sunk down. We called about this and the front desk personnel said they were fully booked and she didn’t have any staff who could come look at the bed. We did use the pool and hot tub. There were some missing tiles in the hot tub on the bench, making it uncomfortable to sit on. The water could have been warmer. The pool was a popular spot, especially for the families with children."

"The entrance was a bit difficult for older patrons. Bathroom was tiny. Parking was good but across the street. Not sure if there was air conditioning but we didn’t need it. The body wash dispenser was empty and there was one light bulb in the bathroom that didn’t work so I asked for a remand fixed it. The free breakfast was a bit skimpy but would keep you from starving. The historical aspect was very interesting. Portraits of a lot of famous people who had stayed there in the past. All in all it was a charming place."

"Room was quite comfortable, useful furniture (desk and lamp, good tv with remote, comfortable king bed. Generally looked very well-maintained, with none of the cracks and flaws I've often seen elsewhere. Staff was very professional and helpful. For example, I needed to leave at 4 a.m. to catch a plane and the night person took me over right on time. It is very convenient to the Arcata/Eureka airport (a 5 minute drive, 15 minute walk - though a staff member warned me about walking at night - "animals!" Convenient to Rte 101."

Which area of Arcata is best to stay in for beaches?
Arcata isn't directly on the beach, so the best area to stay for beach access would be the hotels situated along the US-101 corridor, just south of the city centre.While not beachfront, this area offers the most convenient road access to the coast. It's a practical choice for travellers who plan to spend their days exploring the nearby beaches and coastal attractions like the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary or the beaches further north in Trinidad. Hotels here often provide ample parking, which is a plus for those travelling with vehicles for beach excursions.For those who enjoy a blend of town amenities and easy access to nature, staying slightly closer to Arcata's town centre, perhaps near the Arcata Plaza, can also work.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Arcata?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Arcata is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest and sunniest, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 22°C, which is ideal for enjoying the coastline and the nearby Redwood National and State Parks.During this time, Arcata hums with activity, making it great for families looking to make the most of beach days, outdoor adventures, and local events. The extended daylight hours mean more time for exploring tide pools, building sandcastles, or hiking through ancient redwood groves. Since this is the prime season, many hotels and activity providers are in full swing, offering a wide range of options.For a great alternative, consider visiting in September. The weather often remains pleasantly mild, with temperatures still in the high teens, offering beautiful conditions for coastal walks and exploring the natural beauty of the area. You may find better value on accommodation and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants and local attractions.
What beach activities should we do in Arcata?
As Arcata isn't directly on the beach, the best beach activities involve a short drive to the nearby coastline, with Clam Beach and Mad River Beach being excellent choices for a variety of experiences.Clam Beach, located just a 15-minute drive north of Arcata, is a well-known spot for its expansive sandy shores, making it ideal for families.

There are also picnic areas and horse riding opportunities, offering a full day out by the sea.Mad River Beach, a mere 10-minute drive west of Arcata, offers a more rugged coastal experience. It's particularly popular with those who enjoy surfing or fishing due to its stronger currents and open waters. The beach also provides stunning views and is a great spot for birdwatching, especially for solo travellers seeking a more natural and less crowded setting.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Arcata as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
