The breakfast had a lot of options and was yummy. The rooms were very clean, the beds were cosy and the bathtub was spotless. Nice quiet relaxing hotel with large rooms."

Super 8 by Wyndham Arcata

2.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (74)
"It is near ocean and shops and restaurants. It would almost be perfect but the hot water heater broke and I was sandy and needing to take cold showers. The water heater was replaced during my stay, but it was just bad timing for me. The room has good amenities. Staff were nice. Breakfast with waffle maker was great. Expedia double charged me for the visit."

"Phil and Jeannie are SUCH GREAT FOLKS! They have a little slice of Heaven where we we felt privileged to have the opportunity to experience both the private hilltop cottage with terrific private, clear water swimming pond and numerous special, outdoor amenities we thoroughly enjoyed, including the “nap time” outdoor bed, sundeck on the pond, fire pit, charcoal grill and outdoor dining table with a gorgeous view of the scenery. Just can’t say enough great things about the people, wonderful...
