I had a problem reserving an accessible room online using a third party website so I just booked a regular room hoping it would be easy to switch rooms if I arrived to the hotel early. When I arrived in Arcata I called the hotel toninq the front desk informed me they couldn't help me so they transferred me to They transferred me to customer relations where they informed me they couldn't switch rooms for me because I used a third party site to book the room. So when I arrived at the hotel I explained my issue and she immediately switched my room. The young lady behind the counter on June 17 in the evening was my hero. I wish I remembered her name. But I couldn't believe the run around BW gave me when I called but it did evenrually work out.

Great spot

Family enjoyed staying here, the room was big enough for 4 people to stay comfortably. The pool was out of order our first night, but we were given option to go to a local gym to use pool if needed. Front desk was very helpful. Breakfast was great!! Everything was delicious and food runner kept everything filled consistently. Pool worked our 2nd night. It is nice because jacuzzi is indoors but pool has in and out option. There's a McDonald's next door.

Great staff, super friendly and efficient. Rooms were ok, very clean, but a bit shabby. Nice pool/spa area, very clean, but also a bit shabby. Beds were very uncomfortable, but neat and clean. Breakfast was varied, sausage, hashbrown, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and varied mufgins, bagels, waffles, etc, and it was very well kept. Thanks for a great stay!
