Top Arcata Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Arcata - Humboldt Area

10/10 Excellent

"Typical comfort inn! Clean and comfy, and breakfast is always a plus."

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Property was well managed, maintained and secured to ensure you and your family could unwind, relax and enjoy the oasis at the hotel. The pool was great but the expansive hot tub was just what the body needed after a full day of hiking in the area parks. Couldn't say enough about the relaxing & therapeutic benefits to hitting the hot tub each night, even with a random guest the 3rd night hitting the emergency stop button like a game show contestant before asking if that was how you turned on the jets longer. Thank goodness we had already enjoyed 25 minutes of the jacuzzi before that party foul. We will book again when back in the area."
