Despite all the other hotels around Motel 6 that costs more, we weren't dissappointed at all with Motel 6. For the lower price, Motel 6 at this location was great! Will use again when I visit my son in Arcata.

For the nightly rate this property was a fairly good deal. The room was clean, the shower had good pressure, and the beds were very comfy. There were a couple of cigarette burn holes in one of the bed covers though. Check in and check out were relatively easy. Would stay there again when in the area.

Floor was not clean. Parking spaces were very small. Front desk person was very helpful. She came and cleaned the floors and bathroom. There weren’t enough towels and wash cloths. The check in was on the computer. It was frustrating to deal with. In person is much better.
