Best Western Arcata Inn

I recommend this motel for an overnight stay in Arcata. Very clean, good parking, fair rates. Only downside is that there are no good restaurants in the immediate area,so considerable driving was necessary for meals. less

Room was clean, comfortable bed an pillows, always good breakfast, and is until 10am. We had So, ants are a part of life, had ants next morning, so make sure you put away and clean up everything. Will most likely choose a different Best western next time. less

I definitely have some positive things to say about the Best Western Arcata Inn. The staff members my wife and I encountered during our stay there were pleasant and helpful, our room was clean and attractive (and everything in it worked), and the grounds were nice. Potential guests might find it helpful to know, however, that this property does not have an exercise room and that we felt that the breakfast provided when we stayed there was not as good as that typical at Best Western properties. less

We have stayed at the BW Arcata Inn for 19 years when in the Humboldt County area. I was quite surprised to see the changes made in the reservation and dining areas. Perhaps because I was so used to the original ones, but I found them to be much more comfy and friendly looking, while the new changes seemed stark to me. The seating/visiting area, now with an artificial fire place, aren't even readily seen. They have extended the breakfast eating area to accommodate more people, but still have the same items, which are less convenient to get to. The juice machine was out of order for the 5 days we were there, and it was unfortunate that several different breakfast items were not available. The staff has changed, and I missed not seeing employees who knew and welcomed me. The rooms are still the same, however, and I am glad for that. I was told the change was mandated by Best Western, but I preferred the "old" BW Arcata Inn, but most likely will stay there again when in the area. The change just needs to be gotten used to! less

Hotel was undergoing some renovations, which didnt create a good first impression, would have been nice to have been told this prior to arriving - breakfast was in a tent outside! Room was spacious and clean - staff were pleasant. less
