Expedia misrepresented the room I chose vs what I received. The Hotel Arcata was historically charming but the rooms are very small .

The hotel and staff were great. I checked in after 8pm and there was no parking near the hotel. I had to grab the basics from my suitcase and walk two blocks past bars and a liquor store where people were “hanging out.” The smell was horrible. I was alone and I did not feel safe. I checked out early the next morning and there were numerous parking places near the hotel. Parking spaces should be “marked” for “hotel customers only,” especially with carrying bags/luggage. I felt like a “target.”

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.

We loved the character of the property but the noise from outside and in the hallway bled into the room very easily.

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.

Beautiful older hotel (109 years I think we were told). Well maintained. Small vut comfortable room with claw foot bath tub. Modest continental breakfast included in the price. Would definitely stay again.

Historic hotel situated in a historic area. Good restaurants at all price levels and tastes. Nice area to be for breakfasts and dinners, close to music venues, wine bars, and local color. Unfortunately, the area is noisy throughout the evening and early AM and the hotel hasn't upgraded to double pane windows, so the street noise is very noticeable. That, plus a lackluster morning "breakfast" that reflects an impersonal approach to hospitality make this potentially stunning hotel disappointing. A vase of fresh flowers in the lobby and/or dinning area would be step in the right direction...
