Several reviewers made this place sound like a questionable establishment, but we were fairly pleased with what we got. We had heard the dog-friendly rooms were all on the first floor, and were prepared to accept this, when the desk attendant gave us the option of any floor. We chose a very spacious third-floor room with a balcony, which was... more

There are very few hotels to choose from in this area. We were actually looking for a hotel in Arcata but after not finding anything in that area, we decided to look in neighboring Eureka. The Red Lion seemed like a decent hotel out of the very limited options available in the area, so we made reservations three weeks prior... more

Checked in after a long drive. Check in was fast, front desk was courteous. Room was old, musty, smelly. Old. Not worth $160.Room provided tiny bottle of shampoo, when asked for more, housekeeping said they were out(?) more

The Front desk and Housekeepers were exceptional. But very dissapointed in accomodations. Terrible mattress and bedding. Front desk checked us in, but it had not been cleaned. Reason for the visit to Eureka was to watch Grandson play baseball for the Humboldt Crabs. Stayed two nights instead of our three night schedule. No plans to return. more

We selected this hotel based on "dog friendly" reviews from various websites. We were not disappointed. In fact, there was a Kennel Club showing in a nearby town and many of the participants stayed here. Our dog (70 lb lab) was allowed in the lobby and hallways in addition to the room. Spent one night, had two rooms each with... more

Front desk promised a room with a balcony, then I went up to room to find it had none. My room was just next to housekeeping so there were loud, obnoxious sounds starting early in the morning, and next to vending machines (which are not in recessed area) so got to hear children debating what kind of junk food to... more

We stayed at the Red Lion during our visit to Humboldt State University. Best location for traveling to and from HSU. Although on Hwy 111, our room was on the bayside and very quiet. Staff friendly; small, but adequate, business center on 3rd floor. more

What a view of the back 'BACK ALLEY!' No window in the king bed room, elevator was dirty the night we checked in and the next afternoon we checked out it was still dirty. They wanted something like $169 but with my travel agent credentials they discounted the room to $96. I also rented their conference room to do a... more

We stopped at Eureka on a trip to San Francisco, and when I asked to checkin, they sent us to a room that obviously had not been cleaned. The bathroom was used, the bed had bedsheets and pillows in disarray. So a few minutes later they sent us to another room, that didn't have a microwave oven, even though the... more
