Floor was not clean. Parking spaces were very small. Front desk person was very helpful. She came and cleaned the floors and bathroom. There weren’t enough towels and wash cloths. The check in was on the computer. It was frustrating to deal with. In person is much better.

For the nightly rate this property was a fairly good deal. The room was clean, the shower had good pressure, and the beds were very comfy. There were a couple of cigarette burn holes in one of the bed covers though. Check in and check out were relatively easy. Would stay there again when in the area.

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!
