The cottage we had was very beautiful, very spacious, with all amenities and comfy bed, very clean. Service was very friendly. However, the neighborhood is quite scary, with bums / homeless walking around and strange run-down motels too. The breakfast was not good, it felt as if they did not want us to linger longer, items were not replaced when... More

We stayed at the hotel and the room was very nice. The lobby is a bit different but welcoming. There are no luggage carriers but they get a hand truck from the back room to take up bags which is not very effective or esthetic. The room was a king (not many of those available) and had an extra seating... More

We stayed at the Carter House Inn May 10 - 13, '12. Despite a full house for graduation weekend, the service was as great as the accommodations! The rooms are ,of course, clean and quiet and well appointed withe best linens, toiletries and robes one would expect of a five star hotel. Ashley made us feel as if we were... More

I enjoyed my stay so much last year that I made a point to re-book on a business trip again. It makes business much more pleasurable when you stay at Carter House Inns. Wonderful well maintained hotel with great service. I stayed in the main building where the resturant and bar is - very convenient. The complimentary breakfast and wine... More

Was here only for 1 night while on business. The Carter House is actually several older I believe Historic Buildings that are near each other that comprise the BB. The main building has the restaurant and I believe 20+ Guest Rooms, there is a second main building across the street plus 1 or 2 Cottages with "Gourmet" kitchens (I didn't... More

Oh, my -- who would think that in a town like Eureka there would be such an amazing, special, unique place to stay. On our way up the coast my husband decided to help celebrate my birthday with a surprising stay at this hotel. He called, asked help in arranging a great birthday for me, and they complied. They gave... More

Hotel was really nice and quaint and romantic. I'd definitely stay there again. Did a lot of research on food in the area and ended up eating at their restaurant 301 for dinner and the complementary breakfast. Neither meal was worth eating. We ate at a lot of 5 star restaurants on our week long northern CA trip and these... More

Selected the Carter house based on many good reviews. Very disappointed for the price. Family booked all 3 suites in the Bell Cottage. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms in serious need of an update. Common area cloth furniture needs cleaned or replaced. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was terrible. Omlettes tasted like salt. Free wine is good but... More

We stayed across the street at the Bed and Breakfast in one of the two room suites. It was fabulous, I would highly recommend it. Everything about it was great. A complimentary glass of wine at check-in and a complimentary breakfast were an added bonus. A very restful nights sleep, in a beautiful building. More

From the moment we walked in The Carter House took excellent care of us. The complimentary breakfasts were delicious, and our dinner at the hotel's "Restaurant 301" was definitely a highlight. We didn't know too much about the area but the staff gave great recommendations on dog friendly beaches, wine/beer tastings, sights to see. The staff seemed genuinely happy to... More
