Stayed for two nights. The breakfast was very good. The room was large, comfortable and clean. There was a large dining room and living room on the first floor, two bedrooms and a shared kitchen on the second floor. We were the only ones on the second floor on the first night. The second night, the guests on the third floor checked in very late at night. I felt the poor sound insulation of the old wooden house. There were homeless people staying in the public parking lot outside the house (not the hotel parking lot) for a long time, which was quite annoying. They didn't look like homeless people, but more like gang members, and they took turns staying there...

This hotel reminded us of the glory days of Eureka. The room was nice, but a bit noisy as we needed open windows at night, which lets in traffic noise. The architecture of the place is great. All the staff are personable, friendly, and helpful.

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.

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.

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.

We woke up at 1:30 am to the sound of homeless men rummaging in trash cans, just outside the parking lot fence, with bright flashlights. Lots of glass bottles dropping into metal dumpsters.
