The Inn at 2nd & C

What guests think

At The Inn at 2nd & C, travellers highlight a distinctive historic Victorian vibe, a walkable Old Town location near the waterfront, and generally friendly staff, while also noting nearby homeless activity and occasional street noise around the property.

Rooms have character and comfortable beds but some feel dated, lack AC or in-room extras like TVs/fridges, and can experience noise from events or equipment. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many praising tidy spaces while several mention musty odors or worn fixtures. Facilities include an on-site bar/lounge with occasional live music, adjacent parking, and a light continental breakfast; dining experiences are often positive but vary. Expect a charming, character-forward stay with trade-offs versus modern, full-service hotels.

We’ve stayed here before and came back because we were happy with our stay. It is an older hotel that is very old-fashioned. The floors slope here and there.

We liked the look of the building. Went to all the floors and loved the decor. There was a dance the night we stayed. Ticket taker set up literally outside our door. That was kinda weird. Party and decorations in our hallway was fun. Music didn’t bother us at all. Old feel was cool. With that being said no air conditioning no fridge no microwave and the furniture is of course old to go with the vibe. Location not the greatest. You’re across from homeless shelter type situation. Didn’t have any issues with that. There was commotion in the morning with yelling and emergency services taking someone away. If you dont mind city sounds and like history feel this is a cool place. If you’re looking for luxury with all the bells and whistles I would say maybe not. For the price I think I was expecting more.

This hotel is beautiful and very nostalgic and the room we stayed in was dog friendly and decorated nicely. I received 3 emails from them asking me to call before I arrive to let them know what time we would be there and also to make a reservation in one of their 2 restaurants. I called to make dining reservation and it was a message saying only reservations could be made for 6 or more people - so we were only 2 so didn't make a reservation. Then when I called to let them know when we would be checking in, I was told the main restaurant was closed and that there was a live band playing until ? It was raining hard and this made it very difficult for us. We ended up getting In and Out! Not sure how long the band played - we were on the 3rd floor, and did not really hear it (the band was actually really good!) Room was comfortable and they offer a continental breakfast in the morning. All and all it worked out.

We arrived to the property and noticed vagrants and drug deals being done in the park that was adjacent to the parking lot. The young guy checking in was very nice but told us hotel staff was on site only 3pm to 9pm and we were given a number to call if there were any problems. No security other than given a code to get into the hotel, it seemed the homeless also had the code. Homeless were smoking outside the front entrance. On our way to the room a strong scent of mold was noticed, even more when we reached the room. I think great effort was made with this hotel but it wasn't enough to combat the feeling of not being safe. The windows provided no privacy from the noise of the streets as well as a rooftop right outside our window. We booked the hotel for 2 nights at 230 per night and this was an unexpected disappointment. We did not stay and decided not to stay. We found another hotel-Holiday Inn Express that was more secure.

Historic location for an inn. The staff were very nice and helpful but the property was run down with no real amenities. The beds were very comfortable but the rooms were worn. The shower was a cheap plastic with mold and a door that would not stay closed. Everything else was very tired looking. The lobby was Victorian but very dark and looked like a dusty parlor. Breakfast was very meager with a sign to only take 1 . For the high price, I was expecting much more.

Considering the architectural heritage and strong presence of artists in Eureka, the hotel lacked the charm, verve and pride it might have. Instead, it was dingy and in need of the attention of an artistic hand in fixing it up both inside and out to tastefully make it shine. Clearly the hotel (and town?) is struggling, but likely owned by someone with weak good taste and little imagination- it wouldn’t take much to make the place a stunner. Too, the energy of the staff reflected the state of the building - nearly every last receptionist ( and we encountered more than six in our 4 night stay) was downright unfriendly, unwelcoming and inhospitable- they seemed unhappy; it was uncanny considering these people are in a hospitality business. On a positive note, the architecture of the building itself was authentic and our room was spacious with high ceilings. We appreciated the white noise machine as the area was exceptionally noisy all night, most nights. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The headboard, matching night stands and other pieces of furniture were antique and beautiful. There was ample lighting and plenty of power outlets. The Wifi worked well. A nice touch was a press pot for coffee.

Wife and I spent 4 nights in Eureka and found this hotel. Great location, with walking distance to most of good restaurants in town. There are a fair amount of homeless or down on their luck around but we never had any problems. Probably common for California. The hotel is a classic old dame and our room was very unique but cozy. Lots of early 1900 charm but bathroom was modern, roomy and worked well. Recommend this place for people that want a unique, old time experience. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

I got excellent recommendations for local restaurants and things to do and see from the staff. I will stay here afain happily!

Walking the halls and stairs you feel like your in a time capsule. Everything was a site to behold. The tavern was great! Skilled bartender and awesome design. The cat art was avant garde but strangely cute in a very interesting way. Next time I'm in Humboldt county I'll be staying here.

The only real problem we had was with the restaurant. We had made a reservation and it was confirmed via text and email. When we got there, they said that they tried to call us, and let us know there was a party of 10 that came before us, and they could not accomodate until later. The bar was empty and the peeps behind were doing shots. The bartender said of course you can sit here and we will serve you. all was fine then, the restaurant blamed the whole situation on the front of the house saying that they did not have there books and should have not confirmed. But it was confirmed. All else was ok. Dark/ musty . but clean.
