Can I just live here?…read more Scotia Lodge went beyond our expectations by a mile, and then some. When we saw the price we thought, is this too good to be true? It's true! They have managed to blend the historic nature of this hotel with modern amenities perfectly (without feeling too boutique/hipster-y). Greeted with a free beverage upon arrival, we made our way to our room to find it clean and cozy, with ample outlets, reliable wifi, and a clawfoot tub. After four days on the road, a soak in that tub gave me life! There is a restaurant serving breakfast 8-12, dinner 5-9 (we got The Lumberjack waffle sandwich for breakfast. Not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting in-house recipe waffle mix stuffed to bursting with eggs, sausage and cheese. YUM!), and a bar downstairs that has very fair pricing. They also have soaking tubs for $25/hour with Epsom salts and other amenities (we didn't rent it but it sounds great). There is a local grocery store just across the street that has ready made hot/cold foods, beer and liquor, and anything else you may need. Located just north of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, it's a perfect starting or ending point for your redwoods excursion. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, prompt, and informative. The grounds are beautiful, with a large picnic area to enjoy your morning cup at. This place gives Overlook Hotel vibes in the BEST way possible. Can't wait to come back! And to think we almost stayed at the Best Western for $10 cheaper... lol. Thank you, Scotia Lodge, I will be recommending you to anybody I know traveling through the area! We stayed one night, 6/25/26-6/26/26

No safety rails for help getting in/out of tub. Seemed dangerous even for a youngster. The mattress appeared old and not comfortable. Rug in the room ... slipped on it.... safety concern. Its obviously an old building and had a little creepy feel to it. No elevator so anyone with limitations would have issues with the stairs. Limited parking. The restaurant wasn't open during our stay. Not the highlight of our vacation.

It was in the middle of downtown. The second night the weather was bad so we stopped in Redding and stayed the night at a best western there.

I really enjoy the breakfast at the best western hotels and these two hotels werent all that great. Ive spent many nights at your hotel in Fortuna and I got to say that your guys breakfast is the best by far. Your biscuits and gravy is my favorite, neither of the two hotels had either so please keep making them. Yes of course I would recommend staying there and I will keep staying there Thank you

Got a jacuzzi room this time which was nice to soak my broken bones and was able to sleep better! Love that you guys are pet friendly so our fur baby/child is able to come along on our trips! And with the rooms being pet friendly the rooms are remarkably clean. This Best Western is the place that we have always set our standards to for everyplace we travel. By far the Best! We have gone to a lot of locations and the other Best Westerns are not as good as this one. Your breakfasts definitely makes a difference and impact. Thank you everyone! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Dirtbike and baby Snoots too!

Ye Olde Danish Inn is the perfect place to stay in Ferndale, especially if you're a girl traveling…read moresolo and want to enjoy some cozy time. The price is very reasonable (under $170) for a large (600 sq ft) private space decked out in feminine florals and Danish decor. The fireplace is only decorative, but the heater really works! The kind inn keepers are in the house next door, but other than them, I didn't see a soul - it's quiet and private. The main bed is only big enough to comfortably accommodate one person, but there is a pull-out bed hiding somewhere in the big living room. There's a private patio overlooking lovely woods and the beautiful town of Ferndale. Getting into town is easy, too - just a few minutes walk.

Had to knock off a star because our room was so cold the first night: 64 degrees. Another couple complained about the low temp while we were at the front desk. The second night we were plenty warm enough, and they did give us another blanket on request. We did not try the restaurant, but definitely will on our next trip. I was in the bar briefly (we didn't have a corkscrew) and the staff ladies there were most accommodating. The hotel is 100 years old this year, and running some promotions to celebrate. Complimentary sherry in the room lasted both nights. Room deco was very nice. This hotel has personality, in the rooms, the hallways, and all areas inside and out. Fascinating antiques throughout.

It made us physically sick to our stomach with an immediate headache. We normally wouldn't make a big fuss about the scent of a cleaner as it usually dissipates and isn't nearly as strong. But in this case, we just could not bear the smell... We went back to the front desk not five minutes later, let them know what the problem was, and asked to get our money back. The man (Dan) at the front desk was so nice and we know he did his best, but we were denied a refund by the owner! Dan was able to get us 50% back, which we are grateful for. To be in a room for less than one minute and have to still pay 50% of the room cost is a huge red flag regarding the owner of said hotel. Lesson learned- ask to see the room before you pay for a hotel room. Oh- and this is definitely not a "Boutique" hotel- that's laughable. We don't recommend this place at all - AWFUL!!!! Ended up at the Super 8 next door.

The architecture of the inn reflects the charm of the city. The rooms are very quaint and quiet. They may be small but they are very comfortable and well adorned. The only issue is that the inn is not ADA compliant and the stairs are a little steep when carrying luggage. All the rooms are upstairs Jason the owner was accommodating and very friendly Our deep respects and admiration for Lowell at the desk who made our stay so special and was beyond friendly and caring We are both nights in the village pub where both Lili and Andrea outdid the service. Not only was their hospitality and friendliness superior but the food was very good. The fish and chips cooked to perfection, the fries crispy and delicious and the smashed burger perfectly made. Lily was friendly and sure to greet us on her day off !

We stayed here for two nights on our way to Oregon. It was our first time visiting Eureka, and…read moreoverall our stay was okay, but there were a few things worth mentioning. Our first impression wasn't great. The gentleman who checked us in was surprisingly rude. The booking site had listed our teenager as a child instead of an adult, so there was a $10-per-day charge to correct it. That wasn't an issue--we expected to pay the difference--but he made such a big deal about it that it felt uncomfortable, almost as if he assumed we couldn't afford it. It was an odd way to start our stay. One thing I hadn't seen mentioned in other reviews is the location. The hotel is next to several large dispensaries. If that's your thing, it probably won't bother you, but if you're like us and don't enjoy the smell, you'll notice it the moment you step outside or open the window. The room itself was clean and nicely updated. My only complaint was a strange design choice: there was a table placed directly over the air conditioning unit, blocking much of the airflow. We visited in June, and with the warmer temperatures it definitely made it harder to cool the room. On the positive side, the location was convenient for exploring the area and visiting the attractions we had planned. The breakfast also exceeded our expectations. Instead of the typical waffle maker and stale cereal, there were hot options both mornings, including eggs, sausage, potatoes, and plenty of fresh fruit. Overall, I'm not 100% sure I'd stay here again. They have clean rooms, good breakfast, and convenient location. Just be aware of the nearby dispensaries and don't expect the warmest welcome at check-in.
