Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

The Snoozzz Inn

8/10 Good

"Comfortable beds, I only wish our room had big windows that opened. Our room was above the office and had 2 small Windows. We came from Oklahoma where is over 100 and would have loved to sleep with open windows and cool weather. Room was clean."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Eureka by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our two night stay at this hotel. It was quiet and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The guy at the desk recommended some restaurants to try which was awesome and helpful. The bed was a little hard for our liking but everything else about the hotel was what we needed and had a good experience with."

Bear River Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms where very big with a lot of counter space for putting things on. Staff all arouns casino was so helpful and wonderful. The whole Casino was clean and beautiful and parking is very secure as they have cameras and security drivers which is nice. And the view is just beautiful if there is no fog which there wasn't. We had a wonderful stay and plan on staying there again. But next time we plan to pay a little extra and get a room with a balcony so we can look over to the ocean and ever thing else. Because the other rooms when you look out the window you look at a wall. Nice rooms but cheaper then the others which is a bull. Oh will they make there money some way."

Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We ended up staying here after our other accommodation fell through. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the mattress was. Things are well kept, you can see that the building and original design are a bit dated but that wasn’t a bother for us. The location is great and close to restaurants, shopping centers, sites to see and whatever else you’d need. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic! There were so many options available. There are two hot tubs on property. The outdoor tub was out of order however the indoor one was open! No complaints. The pool seemed to be warmed and I love that it’s half indoor and half outdoor. We would definitely stay again!"
