"Room itself was nice but I did not like having access to room from outside. Did not feel like a secure area. Allyway to the back section we stayed in and it freaked of marijuana and cigarettes butts all over back parking area where we were. Online, it looks like a security fence around hotel but it is only fenced in sections. Not real secure for this area of town."

10/10 Excellent

"Room was quite comfortable, useful furniture (desk and lamp, good tv with remote, comfortable king bed. Generally looked very well-maintained, with none of the cracks and flaws I've often seen elsewhere. Staff was very professional and helpful. For example, I needed to leave at 4 a.m. to catch a plane and the night person took me over right on time. It is very convenient to the Arcata/Eureka airport (a 5 minute drive, 15 minute walk - though a staff member warned me about walking at night - "animals!" Convenient to Rte 101."
