Book this hotel. Don’t let the low prices fool you. Rooms and property are very clean, and all looks new. Amenities are not in abundance at any motel 6, but the coffee machine in the lobby was great and the check-in kiosk was really cool. They are simple rooms but they are nice. Fridge and microwave and shower all works great. Bed seems new also which was really nice since having a bad back. The soap in the bathroom smells good too. All the staff I’ve seen seem pretty great, the front desk agents are very professional and competent and it’s honestly refreshing, and the housekeepers are super nice and do a great job. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a great stay at the Cal-Poly Motel 6! I really liked the ease of check-in with the virtual agent. I also actually liked the cozy room size, it was clean and compact. I will say, it could use a more efficient heater. The lady that assisted after hours at the desk was friendly, polite, and my pup loved her! She checked in occasionally and helped with any room needs. A good location, it’s central to a lot of good food, parks, and walks and I felt safe, even walking my pup at night. Would definitely stay again when in Arcata!
