We enjoyed our stay at Carter House. The bartender made us mocktails because we didn’t want the options that they had. I was also able to charge our EV at no cost. Location is very convenient for Eureka.

There was no enough parking for our vehicle at night and we had to park on the street with lots of homeless about. The toilet kept getting stuck and wasting water. The staff in the breakfast room and front desk were nice, but needed help during the busy breakfast and afternoon check in times.

The staff here wins all the awards! Had an amazing stay and even when I messed my reservation up, they accommodated me and did so in the most gracious way possible. If my son chooses college in the area, we’ll be regulars for sure!

Redwood National park trip

The curtains cannot block out the light, so the brightness in the early morning affects my sleep. The hotel has very few parking spaces, although it’s possible to find parking along the street.

Lots of transients about the neighborhood. The facilities were lovely but noisy due to traffic and non insulating windows. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Amazing and not to be missed

Absolutely delightful. The staff is amazing Troy, Diana, and Kat. They did outstanding work, including helping us hand, deliver wine to our room so we could relax from a long drive. They care about how their guests are doing feeling and are comfortable. It’s just beautiful.

Beautiful Victorian in all the modern conveniences. Great location to see the redwoods and other interesting sites. Breakfast were amble and delicious and we had a dinner one night that was also very good. Staff was friendly and welcoming and helpful. Only issue was housekeeping was substandard. Otherwise an outstanding place to stay in Eureka.

I lived in Eureka when the Carter Inns were built. I have always enjoyed staying there when I visit. The staff is very attentive. The linens are lovely. It was very noisy. The walls seem very thin. But the positives still out way the negatives.

The hotel is located in the old town and very well kept Victorian style bed and breakfast place. The hotel staffs was very kind especially,Troy couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was great and dinner at 301 restaurant was excellent. The testing menu was just great in terms of the price, quality and presentation.

It’s the second time I’ve stayed at the Carter House Inn. We were able to check in early as we had a celebration of life to attend for a family member. Rebecca, the front desk staff was accommodating and very pleasant. The breakfast was excellent! I highly recommend this place!
