The staff were so friendly and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was beyond amazing and way more than we expected, we actually had a hard time picking because everything looked so good! The quiche was delicious, and the fresh juices were such a nice touch to keep you energized and feeling good. Our room was super clean and comfortable, and we loved ending the day at the bar after long walks through the redwoods. It was the perfect way to relax after exploring. Overall, this place was perfect, great food, great people, and such a cozy vibe. We can’t wait to come back!

Our room was great - charming and updated with nice furnishings, very comfortable mattress, and a lovely bathroom. This whole hotel has charm - from the lovely and excellent restaurant (we had dinner and breakfast there) to the small and cozy bar. Staff is friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!

This hotel reminded us of the glory days of Eureka. The room was nice, but a bit noisy as we needed open windows at night, which lets in traffic noise. The architecture of the place is great. All the staff are personable, friendly, and helpful.

The inn was quaint and in a good location for the old town area. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. We stayed in the main building which is quite old and there is no sound proofing. Also the tub didn't drain properly as likely older plumbing.The staff, especially Sarah, were very friendly and the complimentary wine hour is good.

Even thou the Inn in the downtown area. The location is safe, plenty of parking and the facility keeps the front door lock after happy hour bar closes @ 10pm. The facility is a lovely clean cute place to stay. Troy at the front is very personable and friendly. He was a pleasure to chat with. The morning breakfast was nice and the server was a delight. She sat us to our table even thou we were a tad late. The rooms are clean and stocked with the simple amenities in the bathroom. The over all stay was lovely positive experience. I would stay here again with my dog next visit.
