"Overall, the room and the property were well maintained and clean. I was disappointed when I saw that the pool was closed upon arrival at the motel. There was no mention of this closure at the time of the room reservation. I was also surprised by an early check in fee."

"Check in and out went smoothly, upon arrival I noticed the room wasn’t super well cleaned (hair all over the bathroom, stained towels, and an unpleasant smell) but after I left my review the cleaning staff came and re-cleaned the room. It felt a lot more clean afterwards which made my stay a lot More comfortable!"

Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn

8/10 Good
"Convenience is key to this location. Right off 101, next to the mall, and nearby all the major shopping. Downside is it seems to be not the best part of town. Questionable characters nearby especially with a lot of vacancy and open space to camp in the mall area. The good things are the awesome indoor/outdoor pool area. The second hot tub in the other part of property was closed but we enjoyed the main pool/hot tub. The bridge to the koi pond area is lovely with lots of koi to enjoy watching them swim. Great breakfast provided and hot coffee. We got the room with 3 beds which was very convenient for our travelers. We would stay here again for the pool and the koi pond."

"The Eureka Inn an old hotel (104 years old).I feel like it hasn’t been kept up like it could or should have but my stay was good. The staff is very nice and helpful. The included breakfast was good. There was plenty of parking that was included with the cost of the room. The hotel was close to all the things we wanted to do in Eureka. We enjoyed the onsite bar too. I would stay there again."
