Nice for a quick stop.
Quick one night stay while visiting Redwood National area. Room was dark enough for this night shift worker and the breakfast was stocked of the usual choices. Quiet enough area with conveniences close by.

Redwoods big trees trip
The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We were very satisfied with our room, beds were comfortable and the TV was big with Netflix and YouTube which is a definite plus for us. The premises were very quiet and convenient to coffee shops and grocery stores. We visited the bird sanctuary which was very close by our hotel.We will definitely be staying here again next time we’re in Arcata.
