Horrible motel. Not only is it unsafe due to all of the drug users that loiter around the motel. The toilet was clogged, I asked for maintenance and they were gone for the day. No toilet plunger offered, nothing offered to help other than towels to soak up the constantly leaking toilet water. I asked to change rooms and was told nothing was available, it was Monday. The pool and hot tub were down but those facilities looked ran down and I would not have used them anyway. The location is horrible, disgusting and extremely unsafe. Terrible staff and management. You’re better off staying at the BW in Eureka (15min away)

Property is located just off the 101 freeway - convenient for overnight stay with continued travel next morning. Room was fine and bed was quite comfortable. Water pressure in shower was great. Unfortunately, we chose this hotel specifically because of the hot tub, which we badly needed after a long drive from Los Angleles. The spa was not working, so we were very disappointed. Wish we had gotten a notice from Best Western after we booked. Will consider another property next time...

Best breakfast ever at a hotel better than a 5 star. Big spacious rooms. The only thing that bothered me was that I gave a 25 dollar deposit and my room was left just fine. I never got the deposit back. Other than that I would highly recommend this location.
