Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful hotel and location! So much history. We stayed for 2 nights and loved every the experience, walked all over arts district and old town and waterfront. I needed to use my laptop for a few work meetings and WiFi works best in common areas, but they were all very quiet and comfortable, so it wasn’t an issue."

"We just stayed one night before heading to Oregon, it’s a decent place overall for a quick stay, there’s a smell guessing they spray something to cover up the existing room smell."
