It was OK better than most motels. I’ve stayed at in Arcata
Pros:

I wasn’t aware that there was breakfast, but I didn’t ask and I got a little concerned when the guy was checking me in via computer instead of face-to-face. He was nice, but I got really concerned for my safety.

Cons:

The only thing that I didn’t like was you guys didn’t have hot water my shower was pretty cold
