Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Despite its being a motel in an unsafe area on Hwy 101, across from a marijuana shop such that you get out of the car and smell it- the grounds, room, bed, and customer service were excellent. The front staff was always eager to help. The pool area has a tropical oasis vibe and hotel staff were often keeping it clean and tidy. You could tell the management was excellent. It is a quick one minute drive to the historic downtown( we felt unsafe as we walked it), with restaurants and shops. They even offer a free limo ride to and from downtown in the evenings"
