Myself, my husband, and our three children just got back from our stay here. How it was represented online is exactly how it was! The property was very clean, our room was very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My kids were thrilled about being able to swim in March and it seemed very clean and well kept.... More

For a fairly spartan, no frills, clean place to sleep.... it did its job. The breakfast was a little dissappointing. A single waffle maker (3 min per waffle) doesn't keep up if there are more than 6 people in the breakfast area, bagels and cereal, but the only protein choice is a hard boiled egg. No peanut butter, meat, or... More

The rooms at this hotel are spacious & clean with every amenity one could ask for; microwave, ironing board, swimming pool, exercise room, and an excellent breakfast, all for very reasonable prices. More

Not having stayed at a Howard Johnson before (we are not from the USA) I was interested to experience a hotel in this "chain". This appeared to be a standard "middle of the road" accommodation 2 x storey. Although we booked a king-room we were initially provided a standard queen/double.

The internet is incredibly slow and you have to sign in each time after your computer has been to sleep. And, to sign in you have to walk into the hall to get an adequate signal. The... More

It is located in "motel alley" just off Highway 101 but you are not close enough to be bothered by freeway noise. Motel 6 across the... More

I asked the desk clerk to check with manager why being charged at King Size Suite rate. No response from clerk or manager. I cannot recommend... More

It has your standard fare. but man this internet crawls. Is it to much to ask for a webpage to load in a couple of seconds? More

We visit Arcata 1-3 times per year. We like to stay at this property because [for the type of accommodations) it fits our needs perfectly. It has always been quiet and clean. The staff is friendly and always very accommodating. The pool and hot tub are the big plus. They were clear and sparkly when we were there so I... More
