Motel 6-Arcata, CA Cal Poly Humboldt

Internet/wifi was almost non existant. Had to park across the street in hampton inns parking lot because parking lot was full of trucks, trailers, big tree trimming vehicles. This isnt an area that you want to park far from your room! Woman in front office was very welcoming though.

Motel 6 is just the best place to stay when you have dogs. This was a nice clean motel 6.

Great price, clean, easy to find. Love that there was a doggy poop area but people did not clean up after their dogs. Room was clean and smelled nice.

This hotel is featuring the “live agent” kiosk. Which is mildly unnerving. The gal on the screen was great and there was a guy in the back room Of the office (in case of emergency?) but he didn’t DO anything. Seems like a weird situation to find a “live agent” in. The hotel was fine. Limited parking but clean enough and the shower worked. I even liked this shower.

Checking in with a person threw a computer was a little different but still easy and great service. The room was clean but has some cosmetic issues, chipped floor and paint. Its wasn't a bother though, you get what you pay for getting the cheapest motel around. My only complaint is the pool was closed down/ out of order and i purposely made sure to get a motel with a pool, so that was a let down for my son.

Very nice Motel 6. Very clean, I like motel 6 because dogs stay free. The bed was super comfortable. Great stay

Just needed the room for a night. We checked in right before bedtime. The room was clean, comfortable. Got up showered and left. It's just what we needed. The pool was covered and seemingly not available for guest use. Didn't matter to us. But if anyone's thinking about going there and using the pool I would call ahead first.

It's a cheap hotel that does not provide shampoo or conditioner. You have to ask for ice. The room was clean and fine. It's good for one night.

We've stayed at several Motel 6's and this one is one of the better places. Convenient to Hwy 101 and food nearby. I wouldn't park a full-size truck here as the parking lot is on the smaller side.

When we arrived, a few homeless people were strolling through the area. The room had a weird smell to it, although it was clean. Had to vent via the door for over an hour. Vending machines next to the room were very loud and being used a lot during the night.

It was very easy to get to and from the freeway. Close to a selection of places to eat or get groceries. Our second story, non-smoking room, looked newly remodeled. The AC worked perfectly. Everything was clean and fresh. The beds were very comfortable and there was hot water for showers. I would happily stay there again.

First room smelled like cigarette smoke, rm 219 Next room (235) had a dirty floor, as in shoe prints in the bathroom, hair, and spots of something brown. I avoided walking on this by spreading towels and bedding out so I didn’t get my socks or feet dirty. Toilet seat wouldn’t stay up while standing to pee and ended up peeing on top of seat when in slammed shut during. Would have feather slept in my car then spend $145 on this mess.

Very clean room, friendly staff.

I found dog hairs everywhere!!!

We didn’t even end up staying at the property because it was so dirty and gross. Spent the extra money to stay at a different hotel for peace of mind. A lot of long term rentals at this property. There was dirt, chip crumbs, and dog kibble on our floor. The room had a terrible smell to it. Staff was willing to sweep the room but overall it just didn’t feel safe and that wouldn’t have helped the smell.

Very clean well maintained property and friendly staff.

great place for a short night stay. very clean room. I will be coming back again next time I am in town.

Quiet property. Room itself was clean however the shower had hair in it. Felt odd checking in virtually. Overall stay was pleasant.

Clean

The sheets were dirty. The toilet seat was broken and they charged me a $50 early check in fee, while they gave my mom the early check in for free.

Nicely updated. Great staff. But heater didnt work. And only sheet and super thin cover which typically goes on top of comforter was on both beds. Staff would have probablybrong some but we were beat tired to even call in the middle of the night after long day of hiking.

Room needed a lot of repairs. For the price of the room, I expected better. However, the location was excellent as it was across a mini mall and several dining facilities.

Heater is broken Pick a temp The air will blow 60 degrees Made for a chilly Night

The beds were comfortable, but the room was very small

Overpriced, minimal amenities, wifi sketchy

Customer service excellent. Bed comfortable. room clean.gap between door and jam big enough to see through and let cold air in. Sink leaked all over floor and luggage. Sink had no hot water

There’s bright outdoor lighting around windows. Curtains do nothing to keep the light out. The doors at this it’s property were also extra noisy with the way they slam shut. Both situations made it difficult to get any sleep.

It's a motel 6. Rooms are small, beds aren't super comfy, shower situation in this one was weird. Mostly I'm just avoiding this one because of the awkward experience of checking in on a zoom call with someone in another country while the person working there just stands and watches me. Totally unnecessary and weird process and feels super gross. We can't even talk to real people at a motel any more? No issue on the guy sitting on a zoom screen for his entire shift (also just terrible) but again, it's awkward as hell and completely unnecessary. Also toilet seat in room was broken but that wasn't really anyone's fault except housekeeping for not fixing it. Also also, not excited about some machine scanning my ID front and back and sending it across the Atlantic. AAVGO is the company. The beginning of the end.

Did not like the check in kiosk. There should be a human being to talk to.

Property was as clean as it can be . Service and customer representative were so helpful and super nice. Prices are high for a Motel because they are close to Cal poly Humboldt .

Unfortunately the card key didn't work every time we tried to get back in. Needed to request a new one each time we wanted to get back in room. No cleaning services, we stayed for 3 nights and were not given clean towels after requesting them. Nightly rate was fair compared to other properties. The staff at check-in was great.

I will not return. First off, they have a computer Kiosk with a human on screen to check you in and out. When checking in there was actually a human behind the desk but they weren't apparently there to help because they disappeared as soon as I walked in. Secondly, the office smelled like Indian food and it caused me to gag because it was so thick. Indian food is fine and all but for a nationally known respected Motel chain, even if franchised, to allow the office to smell so atrocious it has likely made people decide they should stay elsewhere is beyond my understanding. Thirdly, the Kiosk human inside apparently programmed someone elses key card to mine and I was woken up sometime between 4:00 am to 5:00 am by someone trying to enter my room and heard them say oh this is the wrong room when the door latch wouldn't allow it to fully open. I mentioned it to the Kiosk human when checking out and they said that had never happened before and they would look into it. When asked if they could tell when the key card was scanned in my door they told me they don't have that capability. Fourthly, the shower is not really comfortable at all. It is a small triangle shaped corner shower with the shower head hanging over the shower curtain on the long side and faces the actual corner so it pins you into the smallest area so it's difficult to move around. Not much care to customer service by using a Kiosk and having an attrocious smell in the office and lax room security.

There was nobody in the office. It was self serve with a weird computer check in system. I arrived at 3:00 and left at 9 a.m. I was in and out multiple times and never saw anyone working there. This made me uncomfortable enough that I most likely won’t stay there again.

Hated the check in I like people behind a counter not a screen. Very awkward and impersonal

Did not like checking in with a person on a screen. No one in the check in area. All handled on a screen. Not a safe feeling when no one there in person. Bathroom was 1/2 painted. Had two people beg for money in the surrounding area. The bed was nice and firm. The room was clean. I would not recommend staying at this motel.

Staff was very nice and attentive, even calling to see if everything was satisfactory.

Get ready for remote access. No human face to face contact. Had issue with the bathroom and they were able to give me a different room. Beds were comfortable.Had to stay an extra night and they gave us our extension with no problems.

Well, it was nice and prepared when i arrived, but house keeping didn't clean my room the 4 days i was there 😥😥😥. I asked twice for them to do so but they didn’t, and as a result, i had to ask for necessities like towels, toilet paper among other things. I hope that they fix that so next time, i come back to a clean room while on a multiple day visit.

This is a cheap motel. That said, the staff members were excellent, the room was cleaning and pleasing—not ugly or depressing at all! The area was a little basic but across the street was a sweet coffee shop. I will stay here again.

Convenient location, pleasant and helpful friendly staff.

The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.

Very convenient to Cal Poly. Great staff Clean

Super friendly staff, very clean and tidy room, and convenient location (close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc). The area in general has lots of homeless people. However, I think that this is a problem of the Eureka-Arcata region. Despite that, I felt very safe at all times

This is a really nive motel 6 in a great part of down, easy access to highwY and restaiurants.

Quiet location with walkable dining options

Place was dirty. Lots of homeless across the street. No parking so we had to park on the streets. Staff was snobby. Would never go back.

Clean but towels not replaced..no coffee in lobby or pots in room...location good...

Enjoyed our short stay here. Room was clean and convenient. My only complaint is that they didn't have their coffee machine on due to staff not being able to be near the desk at all times!? Would stay here again

There were no staff. It was a virtual concierge that seemed very impersonal and unsafe considering the hotel. The bed was awful and the bathroom was dirty. The wrapped cups for use had crumbs on them. Lesson learned. Could have spent 5 more dollars and had the nice hotel next door that was clean and had staff and continental breakfast.
