What guests think

Reviews of Comfort Inn Arcata describe clean, quiet rooms and friendly staff, a generally decent hot breakfast, and a convenient base for Redwoods or Cal Poly visits, while noting the surrounding area has visible homelessness and can feel less inviting.

Guests appreciate the indoor pool and gated parking, but several report the pool and hot tub being cold or murky and a few cite Wi-Fi hassles. Breakfast feedback ranges from good variety with waffles and eggs to lackluster quality, cramped space, or weak coffee/juice. Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, though recurring notes mention bathroom maintenance (peeling paint, weak water pressure, running toilets) and occasional noise or hard mattresses. Overall, expect a value-minded stay with solid basics and some trade-offs.

This is one of the many hotels on this "hotel row", and had we known the conditions around the hotel we might have stayed elsewhere. The parking lot was clean and had a gate to lock the parking lot if needed (not sure if the did at night). The staff was friendly upon arrival. The room was easy to find and clean to an extent. I had two young children with me and I was hoping to use the pool to get their energy out after a long drive. We were told the pool was warm. When we arrived at the pool there were clumps of hair and other unit items floating in the pool. I cleaned them out with the skimmer myself and we went in to an ice cold pool. There was no warmth at all. When we went into the hot tub to warm up upon further inspected quickly got out. The hot tub looked like it had never been cleaned before. The tiles were covered in some sort of gross film. There were hair chunks all along the floor next to the pool and hot tub as well. Breakfast area was small, it accommodating. Limited options, but it worked for us. The ice machine was not working which was disappointing, however the had a water bottle filling station. All in all if you don\'t leave your room this hotel isn\'t horrible. If your looking for a quick cheap night this is your place.

A nice hotel with a gated parking lot. The hot tub and pool were underwhelming as the hot tub was just warm and the water looked very murky. Breakfast was good with a couple of hot food options.

And the desk clerk was friendly. Overall the stay was ok. The property is quiet and safe. The tile floor in the entry and bathroom were extremely dirty like they haven’t been mopped in a while, the bathroom sink nozzle barely flowed and the a/c put out a horrible smell like the filters haven’t been changed in a long time. Smelled like a dirty, wet pet. None of these things affected my stay but can easily be addressed by the owner/management to make the place a bit better.

There were stains on the sheets and blankets, there was a hole in the wall, had no allergy information on the breakfast stuff and staff never seemed to be available to ask questions. There were no bed bugs. The water was gross. I expect my deposit back after that whole debacle.

I was in town on business and needed an internet connection when I was at my lodgings. The guest wifi provided was unsecured and wouldn’t allow me to access my CRM website and other things like Reddit for some reason. It also caused things like Netflix to not recognize my computer. At multiple points I was worried the wifi allowing access to my laptop remotely. While the rest of the stay was fine, the WiFi for my job is so important I can’t justify staying here again.
