Top Arcata Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

8/10 Good
"The staff and pool/spa definitely made up for the dated rooms. From calling ahead to get connected rooms, to asking for local recommendations, to the breakfast buffet, the staff was extremely helpful, kind and personable. The rooms were pretty dated, maybe a little musty, nothing special...but the awesome pool and hot tub area more than made up for that. The kids had a blast. The limo ride to dinner was such a fun surprise and highlight and the driver was awesome. Would stay again just for the amenities."
