    The desk people didn't have any correct answers. Their places they said to eat were awful or closed. The girl said tomo restaurant was just raw fish but not true. It's Japanese!

    The location was great. Liked the atmosphere. Loved the farmers market

    The first room i got had a BUSTED window. On the first floor. Very unsafe. I was able to move rooms with ease, though, thanks to the frontdesk gentleman (nightshift).

    Nightshift front desk worker was very kind, attentive, and patient. Rooms were comfortable. It also has a handful of breakfast options which ends at 10 am I believe.

    Need more towel racks and a screen on the window. The breakfast should be advertised differently. There were not many options and the oj was sour. It was a lite snack at best.

    The shower pressure was awesome!

    The bathroom was a bit snug the shower/bathtub was a bit awkward to get into.

    I was nice to be central to the town so we could walk to anything we needed. I thought it was fun to stay in a historical style hotel. They offered a continental breakfast but we didn't have time to try anything.

    Bed quite hard, sleeping somewhat difficult. Smallest "queen" bed ever experienced, more like a double bed. Breakfast consisted of dry cereals and coffee/juice; didn't see any other choices. Actual room did not match pictures of room when reviewed for booking, disappointing.

    Good location, central Arcata. Easy to walk around.

    I liked everything about it. Was a little sad walking past homeless sitting in building entryways to the left as we arrived and parked, but of course it wasn't a problem and nothing the hotel could have done.

    The hotel was restored in the original design, including the furniture - there was even a cute radiator and clawfoot bathtub. It's right on the square in Arcata, which is beautiful and great for the Saturday farmers market. At first I was disappointed that we didn't have a view of the town square, but the side street view was also very nice, with colorful scenery of the hill in the distance, old town shops, and a beautiful tree with red, yellow, and green leaves. The windows opened as well and the bed was comfortable.

    Breakfast was...meh. But unless you're really on a budget, it's worth the extra effort to walk to Los Bagels, Renatas, Big Blue, or Cafe Brio anyway.

    Hotel Arcata is a staple in beautiful Arcata. I've stayed there periodically over the years and it's always impressed and been dead reliable. The closure of TJs and the other bar leaves a bit of a hole on that side of the square (and it's been filled by some...questionable folks) but the rest of the square seems to be thriving with wonderful shops and restaurants. So many things are walking distance (the marsh, a ton of shops and restaurants, and even the HSU (it's still HSU to me) campus.

    A bit noisy at night.

    The location is great, right on the Arcata Plaza with nearby restaurants. I enjoyed the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. There seem to be fewer homeless people on the Plaza than in previous visits.
