We stay at HI Express hotels for about 4 months each year, so we know what to expect at this chain. The Fortuna property isn't really up to par, so it's good it will become an independent inn this summer. The building itself is older, a two story outdoor corridor maze. The furniture is cheaper, and there are single queen... More

Thank you for recognizing our great staff. We know this is a very important part of all out guests’ stay and we have worked hard to focus on our customer service. As you mentioned, we will be The Redwood on July 1, 2013. We have a new website, www.theredwoodhotel.com, and the rooms are carefully laid out and described on the... More

Not quite very good. Location just off 101 alongside 3 other hotels. Eel River Brewery one block away, all other dining options two or three miles away. Rooms were a bit small especially the toilet/shower area. Beds were comfortable, towels soft and room clean. Breakfast area very small both in seating and choices. I agree, other than the cinnamon rolls,... More

Thank you for taking the time to write about our hotel. We take great pride in our staff (glad the owners could jump in!) and the cleanliness of our property. So happy you commented on the towels, we have just changed to a new linen company and the quality of the sheets and towels are wonderful. You are correct, we... More

Very large rooms with a frig and microwave. Restaurants on the other side of the main high way. Breakfast better than most places. Clean, etc. Price was also quite good compared to what else was in the area.

First I must say that the people were very friendly and helpful. The brewery was recommended for eating, we went there, I wouldn't go there again but maybe it was that I made a bad diner choice ... Shrimp basket .. Very greasy and mushy shrimp. Onion rings .. not good. Back to the hotel, we were totally shocked to... More

My husband and I stayed here during our California trip and were pretty impressed. It was conveniently located just off the highway, the price was reasonable, the rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the free breakfast was great:) We would definitely stay here again. The only down sides were that we had to lug our heavy suitcases up... More

Hotel was clean, beds were comfy, breakfast was good, pool as very nice. Check in was fast and friendly. Front desk person suggested Eel River Brewing Co for dinner and we got 10% off with our room key. We would definitely stay again!

We loved it! Location is so quiet, no noisy roads around. Room was very clean, warm and had everything we usually expect. It's close to Avenue of the Giants, Eel river, Ferndale and Eureka. We had a breakfast included to our rate and even hot dishes were there. Unfortunately we didn't see and use a pool, because the pump was... More

Stayed only one night - very convenient to US 101 after long drive. Nice room, OK breakfast. Short walk to the Eel River Brew Pub. Best part for us- dog friendly. Close to the Avenue of the Giants - a really great drive

Humboldt County has some of the worst and probably most trashed hotels in the USA. Eureka and Arcata hotels have been infested with bad seeds for many years and many of the hotels show the wear and tear. This Holiday Inn Express looks like any basic, inexpensive, motor lodge, however is in relatively good condition. My bed was comfortable, the... More

We stayed only one night arriving late and leaving super early so it was really a crash pad for about 7 hours before a fishing trip. We weren't the only fishing folks there. The rooms were basic and the price right for a bed - $58 for second floor double queen room. The beds weren't that comfortable, but tolerable. The... More
