Old world charm in a newer hotel

Pros: The old world charm, nice breakfast, gingersnaps in the evening and a happy hour in the afternoon! It is near the waterfront and 2nd St. shopping
Cons: A fitness center would be nice
The hotel feels like a Victorian but was constructed much more recently. The hotel is comfortable and charming. It has a nice homey lounge, restaurant and bar, also parking with a charging station for electric cars. Rooms are on the smaller side but perfectly adequate. There is a choice of properties--the main hotel where we stayed, and the Victorian-style house across the street.

We Love This Inn and Restaurant

Our stay at the Carter House Inns and our dinner restaurant 301 could not have been better, It truly is a hidden gem in the heart of old downtown in the costal city of Eureka CA. We can't wait to go back & always wish we could stay longer. The staff couldn't be more helpful & friendly. The suites are quite elegant with fireplaces & jacuzzi tubs, comfortable beds & seating areas. The restaurant is truly a dining experience you don't want to miss. And the wine list - WOW! Add this wonderful Inn to your must do list. You will not be disappointed.

Carter House Inn:

We pulled into the Carter Inn just by chance and boy, am I glad we did! The staff upon arrival was fantastic, they settled us on the couch with a glass of wine and some hors d'oeuvres as they checked us in, We ate in the restaurant which was lovely, and the wine list was over the top. We also had complimentary tea and delicious cookies. The room was well appointed bed and pillows divine and the shower was great. It was such a nice evening that we ended up staying another night! Would definitely recommend the Carter House Inn to anyone looking for a luxurious little respite.
