I realize the hotel is a historic property. It's lovely as is. I wish there was a mini-fridge in the room. My biggest complaint is the homeless congregating in the park across the street. It makes you uncomfortable if they are verbally abusive or aggressive.

eclectic "old fashioned" hotel, modern convenience
Hotel Arcata is an eclectic "old fashioned" feel hotel complete with clawfoot tubs. It has modern conveniences though of freshly starched sheets and plenty of hot water pressure in the shower. The staff are remarkably kind.

This hotel is cool. It is also old. It exudes early 20th charm and it also has some 110 year old hotel problems, such as the windows and doors let every noise in, and the area around the hotel is surprisingly noisy for a little town. I'll get to the noise in a sec... The continental breakfast was meager, at best. It was barely acceptable, tbh. The room was cool. It was old, but clean, and had real solid brass fixtures and comfortable beds. It had a radiator but no air conditioning that i can recall -- which turns out, was ok, in Arcata, which doesn't get warm even in early August. (for reference: It dropped down to 51º overnight -- on August 11!) The town, though, has this sorta semi-permanent "hippie homeless" population that just lives in the town square. Maybe this is very typical of a California hippie town, and I chatted with some of them and they were mostly nice, and mostly harmless, but it did make the evenings much louder than one might normally expect for a small town. We're talking "yelling at 2AM" type noisiness. My teenage kids were not fans of the members of the town square. I was fine with 'em, but it was definitely not something I've encountered quite like this. Overall, this hotel is worth staying at if you're ok with the "weird". Recommended.

The property is lovely, but unfortunately many homeless individuals congregate and sleep in the park across the street with loud noise and fighting sometimes.

It’s a really mixed bag kind of situation. The hotel is very charming and the location in some aspects can’t be beat, it’s five minutes from Cal poly Humboldt campus, and steps away from lots of really *really* good food, and the campus store. On the other hand, the beds and pillows are not the most comfortable and the noise outside on the plaza can be terrible depending on the night. My first night here there was partiers drinking and singing and their dogs barking until almost 3 AM and it was extremely noisy. The windows don’t block any sound. I could hear every wet cough of every person 100 feet away outside and it was disgusting and I was both exhausted disgusted. The second night was more bearable. I don’t think I will stay here again despite its charms and convenience. I’d prefer a place with a dedicated parking lot and newer beds and less noise. That said, if you stay, the staff is lovely and helpful, and check out Wildflower Bakery for amazing vegan food, Oak Deli and Brewery for incredible lunch fair, Blue Cafe for breakfast, and the North Coast Coop for lovely smoothies and breakfast pastries (and it’s a great grocery store too).

A great place to stay
Original and authentic historical hotel... With modern amenities but in keeping with the historic ambience. Excellent old town location with the town square across the street. Plenty of dining options, local artists, a creperie, and the old theatre very close by. The front desk lady was great! We'll definitely stay again!

The property is an older hotel with older hotel charm. It was very clean in the rooms but there were signs of wear and its age. The plaza in front is amazing but there were some homeless people at the park.

I went to a dermatologist today to assess the results of massive and many mosquito bites. A beautiful spot, but would not repeat a week of misery for an evening of beauty

Unique and beautiful for its time. Staff was not inviting or knowledgeable of surrounding businesses or communities. Breakfast was lacking variety. Homeless people tended to be at the plaza and around the hotel.
