Great service

We had great service at Hotel Arcata. Our teen didn’t sleep well on the pull out sofa and the hotel helped us find a great fix. We really appreciate their quick and quality solution.

Arcata

The hotel had old school charm, great location, and staff were very friendly. Room was heated via space heater, the radiator system must have been broken, the breakfast was sub par. For an average of over $200 a night with parking, would expect a bit more. Still an overall nice place.

The staff was very kind and attentive, I especially appreciated Zach at the front desk. This is a great place to stay for the true Arcata experience. Parking is easy especially with the included parking pass, and you have a front row seat to the Saturday morning Farmers Market. Lots of great shopping and restaurants footsteps away. My room was clean and more spacious than I expected. It's good to note that this is an area with student life and a bar or two, so you might experience some noise after-hours. The fan in my room provided enough white noise that I was able to tune it out. The included continental breakfast is not the most generous I have ever seen provided, mostly consisting of coffee, juice, and a sad looking bagel or two. However, there are plenty of wonderful cafes nearby if you'd like something hot and fresh. I will definitely stay here again as the convenience and central location can't be beat.

We had a great stay. It’s a unique experience in a historical hotel. It felt like we stepped back in time in a really good way. We loved that we could walk around town to all of the cool shops and restaurants. There was a farmers market right out the front door on Saturday morning and it was beautiful. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual corporate hotels that don’t have character and charm. The staff was super helpful. We are already planning our next visit.

Hotel is conveniently located. Front desk staff could not be kinder. Rooms are rundown, poorly lit, in tough shape. Also, bathroom was not truly clean when we checked in. And the bathroom was not fully stocked each day. We had to keep asking for soap, shampoo, etc. And one day, they even forgot to make the bed. Overall, an extremely disappointing experience. And not inexpensive. This hotel should do better.

Great location, but old and tired

The hotel has a great location right on the town square. Has a classic old hotel feel. But also feels old and tired. You can easily hear your neighbors. Small space heaters provided to heat the room. The continental breakfast was at best mediocre. Not sure I would stay there again.
