Cool hotel
Hotel attracts is cool. It's old and funky, but clean. It's right on the plaza where the freaky action happens.
Breakfast could use some work, but there's good restaurants near by.

In the life of Arcata
Great stay on the downtown plaza. Great nearby shopping and food! A mile from Cal Poly Humboldt. We had noise from the restaurant under our room til 10 pm. Lots of noise from protest on the square during 10/7 during the day. No issues with parking in town - it’s free. It felt safe and friendly.
Breakfast is lackluster. The people are all awesome.

Best location in Arcata
If you're looking for privacy, don't bother with the Basic Suite -- it's 2 rooms, but there is no door. I love the location and the charm of this hotel and especially the walkability to everything in town. I do wish a minifridge was in the room.

Location for shops and restaurant is great.
Street noise is very loud. Rooms are ok and really just too much noise. Would not be able to stay here again. Sad because the area is cute.

Property and staff are great, but square right across the street was full of very questionable and unsavory looking characters. Felt uneasy parking our car on street (no where else close to park) but host assured us they haven’t had a problem with cars being broken into. Sure enough car was fine when we came out next morning.

Good for history buffs, bad for sound sleep.
Great old hotel feel, if you like that. Be sure and read the cards next to all the old photos on all floors. Operable windows! Our only problem was thin walls let us hear street noises, conversations of night owl guests, and the noises of pre-dawn risers.

Old quaint hotel in middle of town. Had clawfoot tub and things from bygone era. Step back in time! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Only thing we were slightly concerned about was the small centralized park across street (like old fashioned town square) had some noisy people gathered hanging out and were worried about leaving car parked there. But it was ok, we were on other side of hotel and didnt hear them and all was ok with car. Nice old hotel.

This hotel was creepy! It reminded me of a scary movie. The homeless were everywhere! Walked by a group of people snorting something off the side walk... didn't dare investigate just kept walking a lot faster.
