This adorable hotel is nestled in the heart of Eureka. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The place is beautiful and cozy. From the entrance of the main hotel, to the little bar, all the way to the rooms and how cozy yet spacious they were. Everything about the hotel was perfect. Also, the water pressure on the shower head: perfection!

Nice B&B in Eureka. Great staff, and complimentary glass of wine/beer is a nice touch. Breakfast (included) was very good. Strong wifi signal was appreciated. Keep in mind - its an old house, so noise travels. And there was some street noise. Will hopefully return to visit again. Would highly recommend to any travelers.
