Our non smoking room smelled like someone had smoked in there. And the towels smelled the worst. I asked it it was possible that someone was smoking while washing the towels because they were disgusting smelling. When I got new towels they were fine. There was also no cord on the phone in the room so I couldn’t call them about the towels and instead had to walk up there to get them myself. They also don’t bring new towels every day. The rooms are very run down yet the lobby is quite nice. They really should consider redoing the rooms too because they are really old and beat up.

Check in was a breeze. The room itself was clean and had everything we needed including a mini fridge and microwave. The pool and jacuzzi were both clean and great to relax in. Will definitely stay here again on my next visit.

20th Anniversary nightmare!
Issue with spiders around exterior of room door. Front desk young man removed spider humanely. That spider did much better than my husband. He sat outdoor, in the morning, at hotels gazebo/smoking area, to read a book. (he doesn't smoke, just sitting in the sun reading). He felt something on left eyelid and area between eyebrows. He used the bathroom in lobby to use the mirror, looking for what was on his face. Thats when he noticed his left eyelid beginning to swell up! Within 10 minutes of whatever bit him, we were on our way to the St Joseph ER in Arcata. Before leaving hotel, we showed the front desk employee (same guy who removed spider at door) and a maintenance man my husbands swelling eyes and where he was seated outside. Several hours later, husband released with a ER cocktail of meds consisting of antibiotics and steroids. Prognosis: unknown allergen, possible reaction to insect bite. I'm glad my husband is fine. He wasn't able to do our days Itinerary for July 5th which was a day planned at Ferndale and coastal drive. We stayed at hotel the remainder of the day allowing husband to rest. It would of been nice if someone from staff would of followed up to see how my husband was. I guess they didn't do a common courtesy check in order to avoid the appearance of responsibility.
