Excellent service, nice location, and the food was amazing! We are from Albany CA and my wife and I were blown away with our dinner and breakfast! Everyone there was fantastic!

More than we’d usually spend on a hotel, but pleasantly surprised! The super high water pressure, hot shower alone made it worth it! Plus complimentary beer or wine and cookies upon arrival, high quality tea and coffee (with oat milk available), a healthy breakfast, and an EV charger - can’t complain! The room got pretty warm with the evening sun, but opening the window and using the fan helped. Quiet clientele and friendly staff. Recommended and we’ll stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our room included 2 glasses of wine, The bartender made some great Mocktails for us as we do not drink alcohol, which was much appreciated. The staff were very friendly and gave good suggestions for dinner within walking distance, The location is not in the heart of the city but by the marina. There were a few homeless people in the area. The Breakfast Buffet was very good and we had a choice of extra hot dishes made to order. Very nice.

Hotel is close enough to walk to the waterfront. The Hotel has a restaurant that may be overpriced, but it's nice. A nice breakfast was included with the room. Victorian style with rooms and access being time period but up-kept.

The Carter House Inn is a replica of an historic Victorian building and has a quaint, cozy, welcoming feel. We enjoyed a free glass of wine with a delicious dinner (Carter House Inn salad of frisee, pear, kale, spiced pecans), mushroom tart with goat cheese, and poached sockeye salmon, grilled asparagus and delicious lemony hollandaise sauce. The Bandol rosé was a perfect painting. Breakfast was memorable, with a spread of seasonal fruit, healthy grain breads, Greek yoghurt, pastries and overnight oats. I also loved the gingered carrot juice shot! The Inn has received numerous awards by the Wine Spectator and seems to be living up to its reputation! The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. They also have a huge wine cellar. Next time, we’ll explore this option! Highly recommend.

The General Manager, Troy, is one of the hardest working Hospitality Managers I have ever came across. During our stay, I saw him there morning, noon, and night. The owners are lucky to have a General Manager setting such a great example to all of their staff. We enjoyed the breakfast that was included with the stay, and enjoyed the complimentary drinks in the Inn’s bar. Nice conversations with other guests at the bar! Very close to the Carson Mansion and other amenities that come with the Old Town area. Some really great restaurants in walking distance of the Inn. Will definitely be back!

We loved everything about this hotel. We have stayed here before and hopefully will be able to return again. Our room was spacious and well-appointed. Staff was very helpful and the restaurant was a good as any we have been to in California. Highly recommend it.

After a comically horrible experience booking with another local inn that didn’t bother to inform me that the city had shut them down prior to arriving for our stay, my partner and were left scrambling to find alternative accommodations for our stay in Eureka. Despite the initial nightmare of arriving to an abandoned property after a long four hour drive, The Carter House Inn was luckily there to save the day with an available room, and not only completely saved our trip but ended up making it all the better. The check in/check out process was seamless and the amenities were abundant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more warm, friendly, and personable touch like the treatment we received from Troy and the entire Carter House team. I will definitely be staying there on a return visit in the future.

I’m on a cross country solo driving trip and I think this will be one of the best hotels I stay in. It was so special! Make sure to go to the tiny little bar and have a cocktail. Plus, every single one of the staff are nicer than the next. Bravo!!
