You will doubtlessly be more than pleasantly surprised when you stay at this hotel, you may even find yourself ecstatic. Getting such an awesome property for such a low price will make you rave too. Everyone loves the pool area, private fire pit alcoves, HUGE natura rock hot water waterfall pours into the tropical themed hot tub, tiki torches, mature tropical plants and ferns, light effects, and gas heaters abound, and Hawaiian music completes the true resort vibe. I like the basketball hoop in the lap pool myself, and so do the kids. The owners' unique care for their property are everywhere outside of the pool. They have a limo to take you and your date downtown to dinner and drinks, for free. Seriously. An expensive touch free Nescafe auto espresso machine pours GREAT coffee downstairs. The vivid sea life of an immaculate salt water tropical aquarium adorns the lobby. The rooms and beds are above standard, fridge is huge, AC is quiet, the bed sheets towels are Clean and Comfortable. When most nicer hotels have 1 in-room baggage rack, they have have two. Because, of course. THEY EVEN HAVE ROBES. When you say can "can I have late check out at 11:30", they say things like " our check out is always at Noon!". This hotel ridiculously overdeliver at every turn. The wonderful authentically kind staff are in on the act and areas sweet as peach pie. Everything is of amazing scale and quality on a smallish Best Western property and price. Truly a blessing on this earth. …

Hotel's Favorite
The BW+ Humbolt Bay Inn consists of several buildings taking up an entire block near old town Eureka that is situated between 4th Street (which is one-way Southbound US 101) and 5th Street (which is one-way Northbound US 101). There are entrances into the motel area directly from 4th St, 5th St and Broadway. My husband and I, however, were using Google Maps which misdirected us from Southbound 101 onto the one side street without an entrance. This was a minor hassle that was easy enough to recover from, however, we were very happy to take advantage of the motel's free Limo service to drop us off and pick us up from our dinner restaurant so we didn't have to deal with one way streets or Google navigation again during our one night stay. The receptionist provided us with a list of local restaurants and the one we chose was very good and just a short ride away. The motel's pool area is an inner compound restricted to motel guests only. They call it "The Oasis", and indeed it looks like a lovely mini resort with a pool, spa and lounge area. I hadn't brought a bathing suite, but the kids there were loving it. The breakfast is served next to the pool. The self-service breakfast offerings included microwavable packaged breakfast sandwiches, make-your-own waffles and pancakes, yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit. We had a large king room that had all the amenities we expected. Our stay was what we expect in a Best Western with the added luxury of the Limo service and mini-resort pool area.…

The pool and spa area are great for family trips. Breakfast was good. Lots of amenities like an ironing board in the room and fridge and microwave. Hotel staff was very friendly. Great for our family trip. The only downside was the pillows were pretty bad quality. Everything else was great.

This is a older, best western property that has been well managed for years. We will definitely be back from the pool area to the limousine friendly staff everybody cares. They pay attention to detail we stay at a lot of different properties. This is one of the best managed properties actually that in a long time attention to detail it’s the little things that make a Hotel greatho.

Recently on vacation tour of central/Northern California for my husbands birthday. We stayed at a total of 7 hotel on this trip! By far this hotel exceeded our standards and expectations. The outstanding extras that staff and managers have added make this hotel a real winner. Ignore the area that this gem is located in. Their amenities cancel out the location. Don’t skip using the limo service to go to dinner. Don’t skip the pool and hot tub area. I will kick myself for not checking it out until I was actually checking out. It’s an oasis that should be shouted about! Rooms quiet and very clean. Breakfast was the best we had from any hotel. 5 stars plus.

Conveniently located near the old town Eureka within few minutes of drive. The room was spacious. Equipped with everything basic and standard. Upkeep of the hotel was fine. I can tell that the room has been renovated but don't expected everything being new. It still has signs of aging. Front desk staff was friendly. Simple breakfast was provided but breakfast area was small. Be prepared to dine semi-outdoor.

Beautifully renovated and maintained resort like hotel that ensured any accessibility requirements for their guests were looked after. The outdoor pool, spa, and lounge area were the perfect area to relax after a long day. Front desk staff were friendly and professional and ensured we were well looked after. Morning breakfast provided a great variety of options and the staff once again made sure we had everything we needed. The complimentary limousine ride to and from our dinner restaurant was an added bonus and completely unexpected.

I frequently stay at Best Western Inns because I can rely on their cleanliness and uniform service. The Humboldt Bay Inn is no exception. Recently I wanted to come in and shower after a long drive, but it was before the Check-In time. The front desk got on the phone and asked housekeeping to alter their schedule to accommodate me. They did it in record time. Now That's service!

We spent two nights here while attending the Redwood Coast Music Festival. Checkin was easy and the desk attendants were pleasant and very helpful with information about the festival. (This hotel was one of the four hotels sponsoring the festival). We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of hotel. The rooms were clean and in good repair and the bed was comfortable. The pool/court yard is quite large and includes a large hot tub and heated swimming pool. We didn't have time to try these amenities, but the patrons we saw enjoying the pool and hot tub were definitely having fun! The stay included breakfast which was nice, but only offered microwavable protein. However, the manager indicated they will be introducing eggs, scrambled, meat and potatoes in the very near future. Overall, I can recommend this hotel. In fact we plan to stay here next year when we attend the Redwood Coast Music Festival in 2024. …
