“This historic hotel places guests in the heart of Arcata, near the plaza and local markets. While some rooms may be affected by early morning noise, requesting accommodations facing the Arcata Square can provide an excellent view. It's a charming base for exploring the area, particularly suited to those who appreciate vintage character.”
