Didn’t explain that our room was not in main building. That’s a problem, there’s no elevator, so you need to carry luggage up front steps.

We enjoyed our stay at Carter House. The bartender made us mocktails because we didn’t want the options that they had. I was also able to charge our EV at no cost. Location is very convenient for Eureka.

There was no enough parking for our vehicle at night and we had to park on the street with lots of homeless about. The toilet kept getting stuck and wasting water. The staff in the breakfast room and front desk were nice, but needed help during the busy breakfast and afternoon check in times.

Redwood National park trip

The curtains cannot block out the light, so the brightness in the early morning affects my sleep. The hotel has very few parking spaces, although it’s possible to find parking along the street.

Amazing and not to be missed

Absolutely delightful. The staff is amazing Troy, Diana, and Kat. They did outstanding work, including helping us hand, deliver wine to our room so we could relax from a long drive. They care about how their guests are doing feeling and are comfortable. It’s just beautiful.

Beautiful Victorian in all the modern conveniences. Great location to see the redwoods and other interesting sites. Breakfast were amble and delicious and we had a dinner one night that was also very good. Staff was friendly and welcoming and helpful. Only issue was housekeeping was substandard. Otherwise an outstanding place to stay in Eureka.

I lived in Eureka when the Carter Inns were built. I have always enjoyed staying there when I visit. The staff is very attentive. The linens are lovely. It was very noisy. The walls seem very thin. But the positives still out way the negatives.
