Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"I thought the hotel was really good for its age and nostalgia. The pool looked amazing despite being closed. The inn could use lighting upgrades. Selling nostalgia is nice, but it’s still nice to feel secure and be able to see as well as possible. The breakfast was ok. Seems like low end stale items. Plus no high chair for children. Opening up the room and better lighting would vastly improve the aesthetic nature of the breakfast setting. The room was dark and dingy and it set the vibes into a quiet whispery awkwardness among guests. I would consider staying again."

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love the refresh it was given not sure when that was but the rooms are so nice and updated. They even smell good. The pool area is just beautiful and I love how the breakfast room is right there off of the pool and you can sit out by the pool or inside breakfast was wonderful. Everything was fresh hot food was hot! Staff was great. Would highly recommend this Best western and would definitely stay there again."
