I love older hotels and I wish I could give them a good rating but as a solo female traveler, I did not feel safe. I’m sorry Arcata is struggling to deal with the homeless and drug problem downtown. Also, tiny room, no amenities. Though no refund, I chose to not stay. Expensive but good decision.

I went to a Humboldt 30 years ago and chose to stay at the Hotel Arcata while on a recent college tour visit with our son. Stay at the Hotel Arcata for the you-can’t- get- more-central location on the Arcata Plaza and the friendly, helpful staff. Yes, the hotel is old and quirky, but it’s clean and the rooms are large. the hallways are full of really great historic photos of the area and the visitors guide to the area that they have created is really quite exceptional. They do offer muffins and yogurts in their breakfast lounge, but we passed those up every morning so that we could go to Los Bagels instead! Definitely bring your ear plugs if you are staying on a Friday or Saturday night because the Plaza will be full of students bar-hopping. But Sunday was very quiet. :-) Anyway, thank you for the stay, Hotel Arcata!

It's a neat historic hotel located on the town square which is a great location in the middle of all the shops and restaurants. They had a great farmers market on the Square on Saturday. Very cool. The hotel is old but classic. The room was large and the bed comfortable. It's dated but clean. They could probably do away with the dated wall paper and it keep it's charm. Staff very friendly. We had a nice time. For us much classier than a corporate run of the mill hotel
