Historic charm with modern amenities. Situated right on the town square of Arcata. The hotel issues you a parking pass which works everywhere but immediately around the square. Lots of great dining options all within walking distance. The restaurant off of the lobby was excellent. Room was very clean, bathroom was large with a claw foot tub (and amazing water pressure).

I checked in as the recent fire raged a block away. Power had been cut in the surrounding area so any formal check-in could not be accomplished. The staff merely handed me a room key and requested I stop by the desk after power was restored, and at my convenience. My formal check-in was completed hours later. As always, my room was clean, the shower is fantastic, and the hospitality is kind & pleasant.

It's a neat historic hotel located on the town square which is a great location in the middle of all the shops and restaurants. They had a great farmers market on the Square on Saturday. Very cool. The hotel is old but classic. The room was large and the bed comfortable. It's dated but clean. They could probably do away with the dated wall paper and it keep it's charm. Staff very friendly. We had a nice time. For us much classier than a corporate run of the mill hotel

I love this hotel because of its historical significance. It’s charming and comfortable. Microwaves and refrigerators are not available in rooms, but that’s okay for this type of historical place. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs was excellent. More cafes and pastries around the area than we could try during our 2 day stay. I will be back.

I highly recommend this hotel. I’ve been looking for a hotel that is safe with easy walkable distance to restaurants when I travel through on work. Highly recommend staying here. There are so many restaurants to choose from in the area that are walkable. And beds were comfortable and the hotel was very clean. The staff was also amazing and they had a good variety of food that was well stocked for their breakfast.

Enjoyable stay

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.

Historic building in a great location. Everything about the room except TV & bed was a time capsule from the early to mid 20th century, it appears. If you appreciate historic sites, you will find this place a good place to stay.

Built in 1915 and historic! Very neat place to stay with a restaurant/bar in the lobby. I like the touch of using a real key for your room. Weather was perfect in July and so much to do in the plaza!

I went to a Humboldt 30 years ago and chose to stay at the Hotel Arcata while on a recent college tour visit with our son. Stay at the Hotel Arcata for the you-can’t- get- more-central location on the Arcata Plaza and the friendly, helpful staff. Yes, the hotel is old and quirky, but it’s clean and the rooms are large. the hallways are full of really great historic photos of the area and the visitors guide to the area that they have created is really quite exceptional. They do offer muffins and yogurts in their breakfast lounge, but we passed those up every morning so that we could go to Los Bagels instead! Definitely bring your ear plugs if you are staying on a Friday or Saturday night because the Plaza will be full of students bar-hopping. But Sunday was very quiet. :-) Anyway, thank you for the stay, Hotel Arcata!
