Top Arcata Hotel Reviews

The Snoozzz Inn

8/10 Good

"Comfortable beds, I only wish our room had big windows that opened. Our room was above the office and had 2 small Windows. We came from Oklahoma where is over 100 and would have loved to sleep with open windows and cool weather. Room was clean."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Eureka by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our two night stay at this hotel. It was quiet and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The guy at the desk recommended some restaurants to try which was awesome and helpful. The bed was a little hard for our liking but everything else about the hotel was what we needed and had a good experience with."

Hampton Inn & Suites Arcata

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 2 nights. The hotel was clean and updated. The breakfast was your normal fake eggs and sausage with cereal, Danish, and waffles. The elevator was down the whole time we were there. I really feel like if something as beneficial as a elevator wasn't working that the hotel should give you a discount of some sort. This is a 3 story hotel and I seen several older couples lugging suitcases up the stairs. The front desk was supposed to help me, but they never showed up and I had to do it myself."

Bear River Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms where very big with a lot of counter space for putting things on. Staff all arouns casino was so helpful and wonderful. The whole Casino was clean and beautiful and parking is very secure as they have cameras and security drivers which is nice. And the view is just beautiful if there is no fog which there wasn't. We had a wonderful stay and plan on staying there again. But next time we plan to pay a little extra and get a room with a balcony so we can look over to the ocean and ever thing else. Because the other rooms when you look out the window you look at a wall. Nice rooms but cheaper then the others which is a bull. Oh will they make there money some way."
