Comfort Inn Arcata

Visiting Arcata recently with my college- attending child, I needed a place to stay. Arcata is a small city, and there are not many lodging options, and I wasn’t looking for anything elaborate, anyway. A hotel that provided what I needed for a fair price is the Comfort Inn Arcata. This hotel is small, with 49 rooms, and it’s situated close to highway 101, just minutes from the airport and Cal-Poly Humboldt. The hotel offers free breakfast and it does manage to pull off a few amenities you wouldn’t expect for a hotel of this small size, like an indoor pool and fitness room. If you get hungry or thirsty, they have drinks and snacks for sale onsite. There is no restaurant or bar, but the location is a short walk away from a handful of eateries. Parking is free, which is a plus. With the rooms, they cover the basics, which is what I expect in this size hotel. Heat and AC are supplied by a unit on the outside wall, directly underneath the window. It can take time to get the temperature just right, but the unit worked without any issues. I like getting a free breakfast, but I should point out that what you get served here is just the basics, like sausage, cereal, yogurt, waffles, eggs, etc. The eggs are of the powdered variety, the sausage seemed like it was leftover from the day before, and the muffins are pre- packaged and not baked fresh. Still, it’s free and again, considering the price of the hotel, it’s about what I expected. Arcata is known as the home of Cal- Poly University more than anything else, and people who come here usually do so for something related to the school. The lodging options in Arcata are limited, and the Comfort Inn is as good as any. It’s not a fancy place of lodging, but it doesn’t try to be. It’s a clean, basic place to sleep and relax, and it delivers on its modest promises.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Just our room had this strange smell, the toilet had rust running out from between the top of the toilet an the bowl, an the hottub had a smell like the water wasnt changed in a while

The room was spotless along with being nice sized, all of the staff were very kind and helpful. This hotel is located in a safe area, the breakfast and coffee were delicious.

The toilet got clogged and they said they could not get the plunger from the storage room until 8:00 a.m. in the morning, so we had to use the toilet in the lobby.

Clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was so so. But as expected for this price point.

The room was clean and spacious multiple pillows and fridge. Microwave water quiet exceeded expectations.

The hotel is strategically located on our way to the redwoods. The room is very spacious and well maintained . We have a quick check in and the beds in our room are very comfortable. Only drawback is the noise of heater.

The staff was very kind! You get what you pay for with the hotel. It was old but it was clean.

Great stay. Upgraded us and room was nice and comfortable and clean Didn’t eat breakfast there
