What a gem. I have stayed in many BW's over the years and this one takes a top spot. I was impressed by everything from the greeting to the checkout. helpful friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms and then the price. I dont think there is better value in the whole of N.California. Stay here, you wont regret it. more

Stayed just one night on the way to Newport, OR. Easy to find, nice looking outside. Definitely pet friendly, a large grass yard on one side of the property for animal walks. I didn't hear the noise some referred to, it was so quiet I opened the bathroom window for some background noise. Rooms were what you'd expect, hard mattresses... more

I just returned from four lovely days in Arcata at the Best Western. The hotel was a good value, but at the same time it provided everything we needed or wanted in a quality stay. The continental breakfast was good and filling, with lots of fresh fruit, coffee, toast and even make-em-yourself Belgian waffles. The bed was comfy, the room... more

Great front desk service and several nice touches. Breakfast, nice pool, very dog friendly. But, loud, bright in the room at night, hard bed with old-style linens (shams and comforters that probably don't get washed with every stay). more

I don't think we would stay here again. Room was clean, smaller furnished with older furniture. Mattress was HARD, towels/linens ok. Requested non-smoking room, which we got, but was next door to a smoking room, they left the door open and their room air was blue from the heavy smoking. I have asthma and had some problems because we had... more

Stayed with this motel recently. It was a stopover on a trip. Motel wasn't bad for a next-to-the-freeway establishment. Problem was on returning home and checking my online statement, I have discovered that they placed a $25 larger charge on my card than the agreed-upon nightly rate, for which I have a receipt. When I called the motel, I was... more

I went with my friend and her son to tour Humboldt State University in Arcata. I was in charge of making the room reservations. After reading the hotel reviews on Trip Advisor, I reserved two rooms at the Best Western on the Guintoli exit in Arcata. We asked for adjoining rooms, which they had waiting for us. The front desk... more

Just a quick trip to Arcata to look at the university. The hotel was very convenient for us. Our room was very clean, plenty of space for two, and paint and bathroom in good condition. The shower head was set higher than most, which is great 'cause we are over 6'. The beds were comfortable and the bedding pretty new.... more

Spent one night in Arcata on our way north and figured one hotel was as good as another. Book the night at the BW Arcata and was pleasantly surprised. The facility was clean and well lit, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was better than most other motels. The place was quiet and the staff very cheery... more
