    Driving into town in the evening while it was dark and raining it didn't look like much but I was pleasantly surprised when we got inside this Victorian Hotel and found another world awaiting us! We walked right into history and it was cool. Hubs did all the bookings for our road trip and he picked this place as our base for going up further to see the Redwoods. Plus, they allow dogs and we had our fur baby with us for this trip. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. Upon check-in you get an old fashion hard key to your room. I had never stayed in a Victorian home before so it was cool to look at all the unique features as you make the turns to your room. Our room was very spacious and had a very inviting bed. The linens were a lot nicer than some hotels and the big fluffy pillows and the bed itself was very comfortable. We loved that there was a ton of space to spread out. So much room that the roll away cot fit comfortably. My kiddo who had been sleeping on pull out couches at other hotels found the cot to be really comfortable. The next morning before heading to the Redwoods there was a small breakfast available in the lounge where you check-in. We ate bagels and cream cheese, pastries and fruit and there was coffee, tea and water available to drink. As we wanted to hit the road early before the rain came in, this allowed us to get breakfast quickly. The lady on duty was super nice and upon my questions on the history of the hotel she pulled out a printed sheet on the history of Eagle House from the office to give to me. I thought that was nice. She said to make sure to look around when we got back from our day trip. (We did and discovered the fun bar and various look outs). We stayed two nights and enjoyed the stay as it truly was unique. On the last day, we walked around the area which felt a lot different than coming in during the evening hours. There were tons of shops within a close distance and a lot of eating places right around the corner! Plus, the Harbour was close. I guess they were hiding in the evening.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay!! our room was so cool and very comfy and cozy. The inn's location is perfect and it's walking distance to adventure! We hope to have an excuse to be in Eureka again and stay at the fabulous Inn at 2nd & C.

    As an avid world traveler, I've stayed in many places. This place, is hands down my favorite I have ever stayed in. I'm already planning to come back in May for my birthday. What an amazing experience this was! I was on an impromptu road trip to Humboldt county to see some redwoods and drink great beer. After driving through the Avenue of Giants from Fort Bragg, I dropped down into Eureka (that's right, I found it!) ((hehe)) and saw some of the cutest Victorian houses ever. I had gained quite the thirst and was surprised to see that this is where Lost Coast Brewing is from so I popped in for a flight of beer. While I was there, I pulling up booking.com find a place to stay and decided to treat myself. I went through a handful of places and this was one of the first I saw and nothing else seemed to compare. My instincts were spot on when choosing this place, or was it fate?? I was the ONLY hotel guest that checked in that day, even the staff said I snuck in, because the day before the power had gone out through the county due to an earthquake so everyone checked out. Then, I was informed that they were closing early (check in was from 3-5pm that day) for a holiday party. The Inn at 2nd and C has the Tavern 1888 (the year the building was built btw) and Phatsy Klines connected to it and even thought they closed down for the holiday party, somehow I was the honorary guest. I was warned about possibly dealing with a loud party but tell you what, if you're staying on the third and fourth floor, it's complete silence. It wasn't until I woke up from my nap and got down to the second floor that I had heard the party. I was fed from their chefs some amazing food, I'm guess not part of Phatsy fabulous menu but I could be wrong and got some delicious drinks. I was stoked they didn't turn me away, instead everyone embraced me and I feel very lucky to have stayed here when I did. I got to meet some of the OG employees that no longer work there but help make this place the magnificent Victorian palace it is and even the owners! It was quite the honor. They even have an employee named Max and he is the resident dog and such a good boy. We karaoke'd and danced and laughed all night. People told me about their first hand ghost stories of the place but rest assured, they're all very friendly. The second floor is apparently the most active. Upon checking in, I was told that I chose Jeffery's (max's owner and an awesome gentledude) favorite room, The Captains Quarters. Now, when booking, I just figured that was one of the cool queen sized rooms but it was the actual room that I booked and even though I only got to see 2 others, mine was definitely the coolest. Every room in this building is different and there's 23. After the party, I went up to my room and actually experienced a 3.7 mag earthquake and yes, the thought of me being the only guest I surely thought I met my demise for a split second and that I was going to be a permanent hotel guest (which wouldn't be terrible haha). One of the maintenance men let me know that this building is actually ONE OF THE SAFEST in town. They redid a lot of this building in the 1980's and one of them was the foundation being redone with redwood and another type of wood so we were solid and the building had many more years left in it. There's so much to look at and explore, there's even some secrets in the hotel that were fun to find, like the mirror that moves right outside my hotel room. There's a yoga room that's pretty awesome, a ballroom and like in mentioned above, an amazing restaurant and bar. So much thought was put into this place and I feel very blessed meeting everyone and them giving me a run down on the rich history of this grand Victorian building. If you're looking for an epic place to stay, I'm telling you, this place is worth the price and you deserve to treat yourself to a wonderful experience. A lot of people would get turned off of this place because there's a homeless shelter near by so might feel unsafe walking at night, but during the day, you're next to a beautiful marina and in the historical downtown area and I seriously cannot wait to come back. They have a security guard that's there all night and he will ensure your safety of both yourself and your car in the parking lot. I can't thank this place and the people apart of it enough for my experience and to letting me be a part of your family. Absolutely stunning building with local art and staffed with the best people. Please stay here and treat yourself to the legendary Inn at 2nd & C.

    This place is not for everyone- of you want a Hilton experience, stay at a Hilton. But if you appreciate a beautiful old building and a staff that cares, you really should check it out. Yes, there are homeless and there was some yelling at odd times. Nevertheless we had a GREAT experience in the bar (bartender was awesome!) and slept well. The cherry on top of the sundae was that I left a pair of earrings behind. Normally I would just write them off 'cuz have you ever tried to recover something you left in a hotel room?! Not here. They called me within hours of our checkout to let me know they found them. They mailed them back to me within days! That's the kind of hospitality they will show you. If you like a little something funky and different, we would highly recommend The Inn!

    If you find quirky historical stuff charming, this place is for you. Disclaimer: every room is different, so each experience is different. In addition, the pandemic seems to have (hopefully temporarily) affected the charm of this place. Unknown how much of the things we didn't like were due to virus-related changes. What we liked: Hotel is very close to the waterfront and walkable to old town Euereka. Easy parking. Each room has personality. Great view from third story (facing town, not the ocean, though) with some operable windows. Everything felt clean, but some bits were run down like holes in the carpet. Bed was very comfortable. Everything in the room worked. It was architecturally interesting with lots of nooks and little places to get lost upstairs. Cool history of the site. Good price on a Saturday-night stay. Neutral quirks: Rooms have real metal keys, and most have no tv. Odd things like a mirror in the shower. Heating and air were in the form of portable heater and fan. Reportedly haunted. Big portrait of a cat named Purrl where you can supposedly get a discount on your next stay of you take a selfie with her. What we didn't so much like: We don't expect any frills, but we wished our room had some of the basics like a peephole, a security chain on the door, any informational materials, or a coffee pot. The whole place seemed understaffed (the person at the desk when we first arrived wasn't able to check us in, slow service in the ballroom when we wanted to get food and drinks there around 3:30 p.m., no staff around and no lights on in the lobby at 7 a.m. when we came down looking for coffee, and you can't get into the lobby without at key at nighttime). Being in town is fun, but it has its drawbacks including some loud cars and loud people on the streets early in the morning. All in all I would give this place another chance post-pandemic. It was still fun and mostly charming despite what was missing.
