Hotel Arcata

Classic hotel! Historic photos on hallway walls. Height of ceilings!! Location!! A bit noisy on Saturday night, but not too bad!

Hotel is a nice historical place with a lot of the features maintained. Very simple place to stay. There is a town square across the street with some homeless hanging out but they don’t bother you. Nice shops within walking distance.

A 1915 era hotel that maintains that atmosphere. Very nostalgic downtown hotel with original fixtures and accoutrements that will take you back to the roaring 1920s. We liked it.

Hotel Arcata is a historic landmark, an older hotel, well-maintained. Some people might find the facilities a little "tight". The rooms are a bit smaller than average and the bathroom facilities are dated. However, in this case, this is actually part of the charm of the place but it might not be best for families. As a solo traveler, I found the accommodations to be charming and the central location in the Arcata Plaza to be excellent with many shopping and eating options within walking distance. There are other options for hotels locally but they lack the charm and sophistication of the Hotel Arcata. The staff here is excellent and very knowledgeable about the area so I would highly recommend this property with the caveats previously stated.

Easy to walk around Arcata…didn’t need a car.

We stay here one night on our way farther up the coast. Very nice, big room.

The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We originally had one room booked, but because of plumbing issues they had to put us into two separate rooms, which was fine. The beds were very uncomfortable. They need new mattresses. Carpets could also do with a refresh.

An aging hotel that owners have done their best to update. No AC, but do you really need it in Arcata? It would be nice if the windows had screens. We would stay again but only for one night. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

I liked the old and comfortable feel of the Hotel Arcata and the Japanese Seafood restaurant adjacent to the property on the ground floor.

There is a slight musty smell in the elevator and hallways that could use freshening.
