Wonderful

A lovely Inn. Very friendly and helpful staff, a lovely clean room and an excellent restaurant: Restaurant 301 adjacent to the lobby. Highly recommended.
Rooms are clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was fantastic. The staff was friendly as well. We enjoyed the wine time and cookies as well.
An oasis in the middle of downtown Eureka. Very nice accommodations and very friendly staff. There are a number of homeless people in the area and we heard a lot of idd sounds during the night. Dinner and breakfast was very good. Would stay here again if in Eureka.
Had a fantastic stay at the Carter Inn! The hotel is full of charm and character, with incredibly comfortable beds. Troy and the front desk team went above and beyond. Don’t miss the breakfast - it was definitely a highlight!
The staff here wins all the awards! Had an amazing stay and even when I messed my reservation up, they accommodated me and did so in the most gracious way possible. If my son chooses college in the area, we’ll be regulars for sure!
Great breakfast, great bartender and staff. Rooms aren’t fancy, but it’s a bed and breakfast type place. The charm is worth it as are the people. They hire well!
The hotel is located in the old town and very well kept Victorian style bed and breakfast place.
The hotel staffs was very kind especially,Troy couldn’t do enough for us.
Breakfast was great and dinner at 301 restaurant was excellent. The testing menu was just great in terms of the price, quality and presentation.
The inn was quaint and in a good location for the old town area. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. We stayed in the main building which is quite old and there is no sound proofing. Also the tub didn't drain properly as likely older plumbing.The staff, especially Sarah, were very friendly and the complimentary wine hour is good.
Great stay at The Carter House! Thank you the friendly staff for the warm welcome and the tasty breakfast & coffee. Looking forward to another visit soon.
