The Snoozzz Inn
My boyfriend and I stayed here when we needed a room last minute on a road trip — the room was immaculate (I’m a bit of an germaphobe especially when traveling), the bathroom/shower was SO nice, and the woman at the front desk was sooo kind. We were so blessed to find this place!

Ramada Bayside Inn & Suites Eureka
I stayed two nights. I got no housekeeping. The continental breakfast sucked. The pool was closed. The staff was good.

Studio 6 Eureka, CA – Old Town
Studio 6 in Eureka did the job for a quick two-night stay. It was budget-friendly, but the walls are thin and it was pretty easy to hear other guests. Parking was chaotic, and the virtual kiosk check-in felt a little impersonal. It wasn’t terrible, just not somewhere I’d rush to book again.
