I've stayed here 3 times now over the past few years and every time I find myself not wanting to leave at the end of my stay. everything in this resort and the surrounding small town is so relaxed and a nice break from city life. the staff are courteous, the grounds are well kept, and there are so many hikes and out outdoorsy things to keep you occupied. they have a pool and a fire pit and even some resident kitties that will show up from time to time. the best time to go is honestly at the very end of summer since it's cooling down and the weather is still clear enough for sightseeing. if you're into star gazing also, this town quiets down enough at night and doesn't give off nearly enough light to block your view. the Astro photography here is awe inspiring if you manage to snap a pic or two. you can even use a normal cell phone to get the photo you want! i hope you enjoy your stay as much as i do~

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 inn is dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. Our pups felt right at home and were clearly welcome. The rooms are comfortable, charming, and full of character with that classic historic feel. 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!

Don't get me wrong, they do have wifi, though not strong, and a screen you can watch movies on. You have access to the fridge and microwave, though no food is provided.

It's right in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants, so it made a good place to stay for my trip. Matt, the owner is very nice and welcoming.

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. Would make a lovely place for a wedding and reception!!

We stayed there on July 1 with our family. The hotel is very old and poorly maintained. The carpets…read moreare dirty, and everything is dusty. The "historic" shouldn't mean it is dirty. The room has no convenient elements, like glasses for wine or a table to sit and have a coffee, but it has a lot of fluff, which just collects dust. The AC is tremendously old; it wasn't be able to actually cool down the room, but at the same time it was VERY noisy. We got a room with a river view - it is not worth it. Yes, you can see the forest somewhere there. The restaurant in the hotel is very bad - it is very pricy, but the service is bad, and the food wasn't good. We waited a long time to be seated, even though they had tables. We waited a lot for our menu, because they don't have enough copies. They were cooking our food for a whole hour and served food with a huge delay between dishes. The steak we ordered as medium was overcooked on the sides and too raw in the middle.

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.

HAUNTED! DO NOT SAY HERE. I would give this place 0 if I could…read more This place is incredibly sketchy and haunted. My grandfather and I booked a room here with double beds for a single night on a road trip up the coast a few days ago. I woke up at 3am to the feeling of someone watching me. I turned my phone light on and looked around and no one was there. As I laid back down I felt the space beside my bed depress like someone was getting onto the bed. Then, it was like someone wrapped their arms around my body. I felt like I couldn't breath or move. When I finally mustered enough oxygen in my lungs, I leaped out of the bed with all I had in me and turned on the light. Again, nothing was there. Room #23. My grandfather and I drove the whole length of the Avenue of the Giants looking for a decent spot to say for the night - with the idea of exploring the Redwoods the next day. We decided the Humbolt was our best option after seeing that many of the residents of the town were living in the hotel rooms of the other motels in the area. There seems to be a large homeless population here. Also many forestry service trucks were parked in the lot, which seemed to indicate something positive if they were staying there. However we were so wrong about that. The other issues with the room were that it REEKED of cigarette smoke. We've been back on the road for 3 days and our clothes still have a twinge of that smell - even the clean items in our suit cases. The shower had no official nozzle, it's like one you'd see at Venice Beach and there was either cigarette ash or mold on the shower curtain. My grandfather also found pubic hair in the tub matt. The overall cleanliness of this place was insanely gross. The other patrons of the hotel were also loud, kept their hotel doors open and were pretty intimidating.

We booked and paid for a specific top-floor room at The Oceanfront Inn for May, 2026. When we…read morearrived, we were told that the room we had reserved was occupied by another guest and unavailable. The hotel offered a lower-quality room, which we declined because it was not the room we had booked and paid for. Management then agreed to cancel the reservation, issue a refund, and relocate us to another nearby hotel. Based on that agreement, we stayed elsewhere that night. What turned an unfortunate mistake into a negative experience was the way it was handled. Rather than taking responsibility and focusing on customer service, management was confrontational and dismissive. The interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant and left us feeling that our concerns were not being taken seriously. To make matters worse, our credit card records show that the hotel initially issued a refund and then charged the card again the following day, after we had already relocated and stayed at another hotel. Since we never received accommodations from this property, this was very concerning. Mistakes happen in any business. The real measure of a hotel is how it treats customers when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, that was the most disappointing part of this experience.

What appears to have been an apartment, was well equipped. And, of course, the view was spectacular. So glad the weather cooperated providing sunshine and great sunsets. Oh, and the furnishings were nice. Not sure what other units provide. This is an upstairs unit - no elevator. Also, the Surf Pointe Coffee and Bistro was a big plus. Great service, Great baked goods. We breakfasted there one morning and that was fabulous. We already reviewed them. It was a good location for getting around Shelter Cove and other day trips we enjoyed. The full kitchen was also nice. Wish we had known it truly was fully-equipped. We had brought some of our own food thinking it would just be a kitchenette. There are some issues with the property not being maintained. Dumpsters, tools and other debris that should be put away from view. While our unit had been renovated, there were some attention to detail matters that we had to address with the owner. They were very responsive and provided a partial discount which was much appreciated. It was the hospitalble thing to do.
