Not sure what they meant by walk to old town, everything we did for food, etc was 8-10 minute drive. The streets have no street lights so walking anywhere at night was out. Worked as a base to visit redwoods np and tidal pools which is what we wanted"

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good
"Loved that the inn is a piece of history with most of its original interior historical details from that period. The lobby and sitting area were very inviting, but the breakfast room was very plain and utilitarian. We stayed in the Standard King room on the second floor, overlooking the pool area. The room was clean and simple. It had a small refrigerator, coffee maker, but no microwave. The bathroom counter space was on the small size, but adequate, and located outside the toilet and bathtub area, which I appreciated. The toiletries provided were of higher quality. The room did not come with blackout curtains, just regular ones, so the lighting from the pool area shone into the bedroom at night. There was no air conditioning, due to the hotel's historic architecture, but we were able to open our windows to get fresh air, Breakfast consisted of hardboiled eggs, yogurt, cereal/oatmeal pkgs, pastries and some fruit. The coffee was good. The Wyndham Corp. should invest a little more money into this property to keep up the shine on such a beautiful piece of history. Small parking lot on site and second lot was across the road to the back of the inn, Both had a fence around them, but I don't think the gates are closed at night."

"Nice clean hotel with gated entrance. The lady at check in was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Our room was clean, convenient and bed was comfy. I went offsite to do laundry (it was available at hotel but someone else was using it) and I noticed there seem to be several homeless in the area. I felt very safe at this hotel knowing the gates were an extra layer of security against break-ins."

"A bit on the edge of town, but close to the lively evening action. Rooms feel a bit stuffy at first, but clear out once you open the windows. Bring earplugs if you leave the windows open. Can be rowdy outside in the early morning. Staff / checking in is great, cool vibes; bar staff is attentive, creative with their cocktails, and friendly. Breakfast in the lobby does the job for a quick bite and needed coffee. We stayed in room 24, and it was spacious; the bed was great, there was a cute seating area, and the wardrobe looked like it came from Narnia. Plenty of parking if no special event is happening downtown."
