8/10 Good

"Been staying here for decades for business. It is my go to for several reasons. 1) never had any issue with my car in the parking lot, 2) very reasonable price 3) hot tub and pools have always been working 4) grocery and restaurants are close."

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The Eureka Inn is a gem in the town. It has hosted prominent figures, now including my husband and me since before WWII! Winston Churchill stayed here! The Inn is a national historic site but is not antiquated. With modern features mixing with history, the Inn is reminiscent of a time when a hotel was for relaxation. You want to turn your phones off and step back and remember quiet conversations with old friends and new acquaintances. I highly recommend the inn for its proximity to the arts district and the waterfront. Eureka is everything the slogan for the state of California embodies: “ I have found it!” And we sincerely loved its charm!"
