Willits is a logical stopping point on the way to the Redwoods, the coast, the Skunk Train etc. However, this is a one horse town pa'tner. In the olden days,The highway used to go right through it and was dotted with motels on it. This motel was here then. You will enjoy this place if you set your expectations correctly. As of June 2025, this is a newly renovated mid century motel. The rooms are very nice and match the website. So, i took a couple of shots outside the rooms. If you have a young family or a pet, it's hard to beat in this town. Location is not walkable to too much, Taco Bell, McDonald's etc. Oh, no breakfast as there is no lobby.

Disappointing for a Best Western Plus…read more For our trip to show our friends visiting from South Africa the beautiful California redwoods last month, we found the Best Western Plus Humboldt House Inn. The web page https://www.humboldthouseinn.com/ showed a lovely hotel with a pool and spa. We checked Earth Google, found the hotel, and the sign outside also said there was a spa there, as it did when we drove in. So we made reservations and all brought our bathing suits. What the web page, sign, and reservations page did not mention was that the spa had not been open for the past 5 years. See the attached picture, taken from the balcony of our room. (The reservation page has since been modified to say "Our pool & hot tub are closed. We are currently doing renovations to some rooms.") It also did not mention that the ice machine for the hotel was not working, and did not work at all. We had to buy ice each night from grocery stores in town. Nor did it mention that guests had to ask to have their room serviced -- towels changed, bed made, and the usual housekeeping work one expects from a Best Western Plus. The on-site staff were helpful and excellent. For example, when we asked our room be serviced, the housekeeper did so quickly and efficiently. But the inn was far below the standards we expect of a Best Western Plus. We spoke with various people, and they said the hotel had not been upgraded for years. It desperately needs an overhaul.

The Westport is beautifully restored keeping the historic charm and character while adding modern amenities. There are no TVs in the hotel and the Wi-Fi seems to work best in the lobby, but that was honestly not a concern to us because we were too busy taking everything in. The area is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the Northwest room and had a view of the ocean from our balcony and windows. We were able to sleep with the windows open which was so nice compared to corporate hotels where you can't open a window. We were able to let in the sea breeze and hear the waves crashing. The bed was very comfy. The bedding was the perfect weight for sleeping with the windows open. The shower has excellent water pressure. The provided shampoo, conditioner, etc. smelled great. We didn't get the chance to eat at the Old Abalone Pub, but we were absolutely blown away by the breakfasts that were included with our stay. At 8 am we received a tray with fruit, coffee and the most delicious scones and starting at 9 am we could have a more substantial breakfast downstairs in the hotel's parlor/dining area. The Innkeeper makes everything herself and it was DELICIOUS. She and her staff are so kind and helpful. We were given excellent recommendations on things to do in the area. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to stay here again.

The outside looks very modest, but when you get into the rooms, they were clean comfortable and offer nice places to sit outside while you have your lunch and look at the water and hear the ocean waves breaking below. I would return to this place in a minute. Everyone that worked here was helpful and nice. And I would recommend if you're going there go to the south end of the building and on the second floor they have an outdoor sitting area where you can look at the ocean and have your lunch under canopies. Enjoy this place we will be back. If you're ever in Fort Bragg, be sure also to visit the nearby glass beach. It's really famous and it's fun to poke around there. You can also catch the skunk train easily from this location.

When is "Free wifi" not free?…read more When it barely works at all... So my wife and I stayed in a pet suit, while our son was in the middle of the resort, and our daughter was at the south end. Nobody had wifi that worked well. You'd get maybe a minute or two connected, then offline. There's no AC, but the pet suite had a decent cross flow of air. The kids rooms however did not, just a small bathroom window near the front, and a sliding glass door near the back. Not really something you can securely leave open all night. The rooms themselves were clean and well maintained, offering a TV, a microwave and a mini fridge. Staff was very responsive, we called for extra towels and coffee, received them right away. Key cards seemed to be an issue for us and other guests. We had to return to the front desk several times due to non-functional cards. We saw several other guests return as well. Location is pretty nice. Right by the shore and at the south end of town. There's a handful of bikes for rent which is nice. Several places to eat well within biking distance, including a Denny's. The firepit area and BBQ's though, need to have some sort of reservation system. We had one family monopolizing one corner. All in all, a fair balance of positives and negatives except when you get to the price. You're paying on the high side, so you expect a little better. The pet room was fun though, our dog enjoyed having her own little spot to go in and out.

My sister and I managed to squeeze two nights in at the tail end of the season--and we made every minute count. Our little cabin was just right: warm at night, with a kitchen that made it easy to whip up meals. I've been coming to this river for nearly half a century--my ex-husband's family owns the place across the river from Big Bend Lodge--so spending time here always feels like hitting "rewind." But sharing it with my sister this time, among the redwoods we both grew up loving, made the experience feel brand new. Paul, the caretaker at Big Bend, was wonderful: generous with his time, ready with advice or a story. Big Bend is the ideal place for a family gathering. There's a huge fire pit, ping-pong, hammocks, chickens, and of course, the Eel river. Brighter rivers might exist somewhere, but I doubt there's anywhere on earth more beautiful than this stretch of water amongst giant old growth redwoods. .

It's the type of vacation where you really get to enjoy life and truly 'vacation'. No cell, no tv, nothing is 'jacked in', you are free to just completely exist without the ties of our modern, every day life. I LOVED IT! This is a 1940's era motor lodge set in a deep ravine. Upon stepping out of your car you are immediately transported back to a different time. There are only 10 cottages of varying occupancy. A communal fire pit, horseshoes, tire swing, ping pong, dirt-pad Basketball court, a million bikes, a hammock, volleyball court. When I stepped out of the car, I felt like I was in a 70's summer camp movie, half expecting some big haired guy with cut off jeans and no shirt to step out of a cottage (that happened later). My kid immediately went wild, exploring and mingling with the other kids, playing and having fun. I got to enjoy the hammock with an adult beverage. Short walk to the private beach and even though CA is in a severe drought the swimming hole is still sufficiently filled to allow for cliff diving from a 5 foot height. A couple of early teen boys were enjoying themselves doing that. My kid and I floated in the inner tubes provided. The water is crystal clear. Beautiful and relaxing. The cottages are small, decorated mid-century modern-ish. Basic and clean. We stayed in the dog friendly unit of which there are two. They allow dogs off leash. Your dog can wander around like she owns the place. We love dogs so it's fine with us. The first night we were there only 2 other cottages were filled and the kids immediately bonded and hung out. The second night we were there we were the only ones not part of a group from the Bay Area that had rented out the entire place (except for our unit) as they do annually. I got the distinct impression that this happened a lot. This place is filled with friends that come up as an annual tradition. I hope to gather a group of friends and start a new tradition too! Seriously, in case you missed it. There is NO cell service and no tv. Some of the Verizon customers were able to receive calls but not call out. There are modern electrical outlets so you could cheat and bring a laptop with movies. We did, but didn't use it.

Let's be clear: the number of stars here isn't indicative of a four-star hotel. But overall it didn't disappoint. GREAT view and the sound of the waves crashing outside were high on my amenity list. The unit itself is pretty bare bones. Cheap but comfortable furniture. Kitchen has pretty much everything you'd need to cook. Bed is okay, maybe a little hard. Really hot showers, which was nice. Managers are super nice and 100% responsive to any needs. We got one night free bc of their spring special, which bumped it up a star for us. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I HEARTILY recommend it? Probably not. But I have no complaints.

The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. Complete with coffee maker refrigerator and super comfy bed. There is a television but I never turned it on because the view was intoxicating and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I was here right around solstice and so the day was very long and by the time it was too dark to enjoy the view it was bedtime. The hotel managers were friendly and kind and helpful. This place is walking distance from Gyppo the local favorite brewery. And also right on the lower Pacific Road which runs along the ocean. Close to Mal Combs Park. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone wanting the experience of sleeping right next to the ocean. You could hear the surf and waves all night long. It lulled me to sleep.

A special shoutout to the owner, Matt -- he's such a cool, friendly guy and made us feel like we were staying with a friend rather than at a typical inn. His hospitality really made the difference. If you're looking for a peaceful, pet-friendly base to explore the redwoods, Myers Inn is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!
