Needed a last minute hotel room in Arcata and this was my option since the nice Best Western was booked. I have stayed over the years at other Motel 6 hotels which were fine so no concerns. Front desk staff was nice, polite, efficient. And then everything went downhill from there. Property is clearly older and looks rough around edges.... More

The place is bad if not awful. We got a room with two queen beds but the room smelt so bad, that we did'nt want to stay there. We got another room without problems from the staff. It also had a smell but from som cleaning chemicals so we had to live with that as we arrived late after a... More

Bathroom floor was filthy and it smelled really smokey even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. Beds and linin seemed new and clean. The staff was friendly. The neighborhood is a little rough though.

First, this is a motel not a hotel. An important difference to keep in mind. With a hotel you generally enter the lobby then take the stairs or elevator to enter your room off of an interior hallway. This keeps you somewhat protected from outside influences like weather and noise. A motel means that your room is entered from the... More

We arrived in Eureka / Arcata with no reservations on a week night and found much of the big name lodging sold out. Our drive that day had been long enough already, so we scrambled to find anything with a name. The first thing one notices in the lobby is the night time check in window with thick safety glass....

This is a typical Motel 6: no worse and not better really. The room was clean and everything worked fine in the room. Front counter staff was friendly and efficient. The motel is right next to US 101, which is a freeway in this area. I requested and got a room pretty far from US 101. But it was not... More

We checked in on July 24; two adults and one kid. Price was about $70 or so. The room was very small, just the two double beds and the chest of drawers that holds the TV. And the bathroom, of course. The staff, however, were a delight. But that's not why I give it two stars. I give this motel... More

I entered the motel thinking it would be a rough stay but I was wrong. The guest service was excellent and they were helpful at all times. The room I stayed in (243) was in great condition with no smell and I could walk around in my bare feet!! After a quiet night, check out was fast and I was... More

I stayed over labor day weekend and had a great experiance. The staff was friendly and even called my room after I got into it to check on me. They even reccomended some rentals for my grandson that is going to the university and needs a place. I've been here in the past and it is much better than it... More
