Inn at 2nd & C

Really cool vibe, Victorian accommodation, great staff would definitely stay again. Big Tub, dance floor, quiet breakfast room with interesting conversation. French press coffee press, lovely bedding. Clean and homey. It was like a step back in time....|Would definitely recommend it as a great place to stay while exploring the redwoods.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Inn at 2nd & C. I wish we had more time there. It was a look in to the past. The building is a beauty! We were traveling the coast to So Cal & stayed many places. The bed at this inn was the best of our trip. The water pressure & shower were fabulous. The staff was excellent, very friendly. Wonderful choices for dinner within walking distance (we went to Five Eleven). Take a minute to suck in some history, go visit Blue Ox & the Carson Mansion

I’m a local and I decided to stay in one of the small rooms as it was just myself for one night. Having been to the hotel on a number of occasions before, I was excited to actually stay the night and I’m so glad I did! The hotel itself has so much charm and character. The room was bigger than I thought it would be, with a queen size bed, a sitting area, and a bathroom with a stand up shower. The front desk was friendly and check in and check out were smooth. I liked the fact that the hotel offers free parking and included breakfast. Also, because there was nothing going on in the ballroom the night I stayed there (the room faces the ballroom, one floor above it), it was so quiet (which I loved as I’m a light sleeper). I highly recommend staying here and I will for sure be staying again!

Very classy old architecture (1880's). Cute bar and theater. Comfortable room and great staff. Good music on Fridays & Saturdays (swing and jazz with good participation) .Older neighborhood but good security. We'll make it a regular stop going North to South

The king suite that we reserved way exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable for entertaining our friends during the redwood coast music festival. The staff was helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We loved watching all the dancers from the balcony outside of our room. We loved it so much that we have already booked it for next year‘s festival. Can’t wait!!

Such an interesting and quirky hotel. Our room was amazing! Spacious and interesting with a neat mix of period furniture. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the few times we needed anything the service was excellent. Some very cool common spaces in the hotel as well. This will be one of the more interesting hotels you stay in!

I chose this inn for its unique charm for my family vacation. We had a mixture of hotels, and airbnbs on our ten day Northern California tour, and I wanted to take advantage of the bed and breakfast feel. Unfortunately, my planning on our trip landed us at the inn during Thanksgiving and we didn’t get to enjoy the ambiance of the events, dining or many people around the inn during our stay. Nonetheless, Victoria at the desk, was exceptional upon our arrival and gave us phenomenal recommendations for the area in regards to dining and entertainment. We did not utilize housekeeping during our stay as it was the holiday, but the King suite was well stocked. I absolutely adored the hauntingly dark charm of this inn, and I feel the owners have mixed old and new very well. The only thing I would say as a few others have stated is the evening noise is loud outside the windows. We were on the third floor and had our windows cracked because the room was warmer than we like, and there were unhoused people shouting throughout the night. The second night, we put in ear plugs and background white noise and it helped. On another note, in the King suite, the bed, pullout couch, and pillows were very comfy. We would definitely recommend staying here for the unique flavor it offers.

The inn was charming and lovely. The antique furniture and bed linens were really something special. There was a small fireplace in our room. So cozy. The woman at the front desk was very friendly, professional, and clearly highly competent. Give her a raise.

As an avid world traveler, I've stayed in many places. This place, is hands down my favorite I have ever stayed in. I'm already planning to come back in May for my birthday. What an amazing experience this was! I was on an impromptu road trip to Humboldt county to see some redwoods and drink great beer. After driving through the Avenue of Giants from Fort Bragg, I dropped down into Eureka (that's right, I found it!) ((hehe)) and saw some of the cutest Victorian houses ever. I had gained quite the thirst and was surprised to see that this is where Lost Coast Brewing is from so I popped in for a flight of beer. While I was there, I pulling up booking.com find a place to stay and decided to treat myself. I went through a handful of places and this was one of the first I saw and nothing else seemed to compare. My instincts were spot on when choosing this place, or was it fate?? I was the ONLY hotel guest that checked in that day, even the staff said I snuck in, because the day before the power had gone out through the county due to an earthquake so everyone checked out. Then, I was informed that they were closing early (check in was from 3-5pm that day) for a holiday party. The Inn at 2nd and C has the Tavern 1888 (the year the building was built btw) and Phatsy Klines connected to it and even thought they closed down for the holiday party, somehow I was the honorary guest. I was warned about possibly dealing with a loud party but tell you what, if you're staying on the third and fourth floor, it's complete silence. It wasn't until I woke up from my nap and got down to the second floor that I had heard the party. I was fed from their chefs some amazing food, I'm guess not part of Phatsy fabulous menu but I could be wrong and got some delicious drinks. I was stoked they didn't turn me away, instead everyone embraced me and I feel very lucky to have stayed here when I did. I got to meet some of the OG employees that no longer work there but help make this place the magnificent Victorian palace it is and even the owners! It was quite the honor. They even have an employee named Max and he is the resident dog and such a good boy. We karaoke'd and danced and laughed all night. People told me about their first hand ghost stories of the place but rest assured, they're all very friendly. The second floor is apparently the most active. Upon checking in, I was told that I chose Jeffery's (max's owner and an awesome gentledude) favorite room, The Captains Quarters. Now, when booking, I just figured that was one of the cool queen sized rooms but it was the actual room that I booked and even though I only got to see 2 others, mine was definitely the coolest. Every room in this building is different and there's 23. After the party, I went up to my room and actually experienced a 3.7 mag earthquake and yes, the thought of me being the only guest I surely thought I met my demise for a split second and that I was going to be a permanent hotel guest (which wouldn't be terrible haha). One of the maintenance men let me know that this building is actually ONE OF THE SAFEST in town. They redid a lot of this building in the 1980's and one of them was the foundation being redone with redwood and another type of wood so we were solid and the building had many more years left in it. There's so much to look at and explore, there's even some secrets in the hotel that were fun to find, like the mirror that moves right outside my hotel room. There's a yoga room that's pretty awesome, a ballroom and like in mentioned above, an amazing restaurant and bar. So much thought was put into this place and I feel very blessed meeting everyone and them giving me a run down on the rich history of this grand Victorian building. If you're looking for an epic place to stay, I'm telling you, this place is worth the price and you deserve to treat yourself to a wonderful experience. A lot of people would get turned off of this place because there's a homeless shelter near by so might feel unsafe walking at night, but during the day, you're next to a beautiful marina and in the historical downtown area and I seriously cannot wait to come back. They have a security guard that's there all night and he will ensure your safety of both yourself and your car in the parking lot. I can't thank this place and the people apart of it enough for my experience and to letting me be a part of your family. Absolutely stunning building with local art and staffed with the best people. Please stay here and treat yourself to the legendary Inn at 2nd & C.

Driving into town in the evening while it was dark and raining it didn't look like much but I was pleasantly surprised when we got inside this Victorian Hotel and found another world awaiting us! We walked right into history and it was cool. Hubs did all the bookings for our road trip and he picked this place as our base for going up further to see the Redwoods. Plus, they allow dogs and we had our fur baby with us for this trip. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. Upon check-in you get an old fashion hard key to your room. I had never stayed in a Victorian home before so it was cool to look at all the unique features as you make the turns to your room. Our room was very spacious and had a very inviting bed. The linens were a lot nicer than some hotels and the big fluffy pillows and the bed itself was very comfortable. We loved that there was a ton of space to spread out. So much room that the roll away cot fit comfortably. My kiddo who had been sleeping on pull out couches at other hotels found the cot to be really comfortable. The next morning before heading to the Redwoods there was a small breakfast available in the lounge where you check-in. We ate bagels and cream cheese, pastries and fruit and there was coffee, tea and water available to drink. As we wanted to hit the road early before the rain came in, this allowed us to get breakfast quickly. The lady on duty was super nice and upon my questions on the history of the hotel she pulled out a printed sheet on the history of Eagle House from the office to give to me. I thought that was nice. She said to make sure to look around when we got back from our day trip. (We did and discovered the fun bar and various look outs). We stayed two nights and enjoyed the stay as it truly was unique. On the last day, we walked around the area which felt a lot different than coming in during the evening hours. There were tons of shops within a close distance and a lot of eating places right around the corner! Plus, the Harbour was close. I guess they were hiding in the evening.

Unsafe location here with a homeless shelter next-door. Car alarm going off during the night as homeless were in the parking lot. You needed security guard to go to car after dark. Did not sleep all night. Checked out a night early and they would not refund our second night. In fact, the front desk was actually nasty. Be safe, stay somewhere else!

My husband and I booked a room at the hotel for 3 nights. We planned to use it as a base to go to the different Redwood Groves. We ended up staying one night and then leaving. I want to be fair so I'll start with the positives. The hotel was clean inside and the staff were very nice. Now, the reasons why we left: as we drove to the hotel, the whole area is depressing. There were homeless people and people obviously on drugs milling around. As we approached the hotel, the outside was obviously in need of a paint job as the paint was peeling. As we got our luggage out of the car, some men cross the street in the parking lot were loudly arguing. As we checked in, I asked if we were safe because it didn't feel safe. The front desk clerk said, "I know we gave a lot of homeless. They won't bother you. You can walk to our downtown area" I don't think so..... When we got to our room and looked out the window, The Rescue Mission was across the street. The fire truck and ambulance came once that evening and the again in the morning. That evening we decided to leave the hotel the next morning. Since we prepaid for our room, we asked that since we didn't feel safe, we felt that as a courtesy we'd like to be issued at least a partial refund for the remaining two nights. The front desk lady was very nice and said she wasn't authorized to do that because of a 72 hour cancellation policy but we could email the manager. So we did that evening, explaining the same thing. It took two days for her to answer, in which she said the 72 hour cancellation policy was set in stone, our safety was their concern and the best she could do was offer us credit for another stay. Needless to say, we won't be coming back and would not recommend that area to anyone. In the morning, there was a crazy standing under an awning, in the rain waving his arms for at least 2 hours. He was still at it when we left.

We stopped at the Inn at 2nd and C last year on a road trip through California and Oregon. We've driven through Eureka several times and I have always admired the many beautiful Victorian homes in the area, so was excited to stay in one. We booked online and parked in the lot behind the hotel. Upon entering through the back, we were greeted by a gentleman at the desk and provided our door code (don't miss the great portrait of Pearl in the lobby). The interior was extremely quiet and I think few other guests were staying as it was still the midst of the pandemic. Phatsy Kline's was closed, though I think it has now reopened. Even so, we enjoyed exploring the ballroom with its stunning ceiling, taking the stairs and checking out each floor, imagining the dances and other events that would have taken place in the inn's earlier days. Our room was the Captain's Quarters, #42. The windowed alcove with velvet covered benches was so neat to just sit in and gaze out upon the town. Definitely a special spot. The rooms have beautiful antique furniture and décor, and it almost feels like staying in a museum. It was our luck (haha) to be staying over Saint Patrick's Day, and patrons were loud, celebrating well into the night at the Irish pub housed below. Then, a storm came in with the most wicked wind blowing for hours. It really reverberated through the room and even though I knew we wouldn't really blow away, it sure felt like we would! I ended up getting only 3 or 4 hours sleep, yet this was still my favorite stay of our vacation (and neither of those things were the fault of the inn). The bed was extremely comfortable, and I loved the down comforter. They even had a second one in the armoire, not a thin scratchy blanket like most hotels. As we were pretty beat from driving all day, we picked up dinner to go from Wildberries Marketplace in Arcata. Definitely recommend them for snacks and any other sundries you may need. They have lots of great local goodies. Dick Taylor Chocolate is another not-to-be-missed spot in the area. Eureka is oft overlooked for vacations, but certainly should not be. You are near the ocean, redwoods, and there's nothing touristy about it like many beach towns. When you visit, The Inn at 2nd & C is the perfect place to rest your head.

This old hotel has so much charm and beauty. I stayed here numerous times when Mr. Lee owned the place. I explained to Mr. Lee that some of the Antiques in the lobby were once owned by my father. He and I talked in length about the history of the building and Old Town in general. I have enjoyed my stays here and will stay again in the future. . The hotel itself is clean, comfortable and quaint. The food downstairs at Gallaghers has always been great, and now the food at bar is always quit good. The hotel's name has recently changed to " 2nd and C," which doesn't seem to have the same charm or splendor as the name "The Eagle House." I think this beautiful Victorian hotel should be renamed something to reflect her eloquence and charm.

Beautiful room. Unfortunately it ends there. The outside needs paint. No hot water in the shower. The homeless population is very present and we're yelling outside my window at 3 am. It's right on the waterfront but there were people doing drugs down there. Also very pricey. 300$ a night. Not worth it.

This a nice old historic building at the edge of the cool old historic center of Eureka which seems to be returning to life after the usual historic downtown crushed by Walmart Amazon etc. thing. This place has its pluses and minuses, pluses mostly, though I have to say we feel like it simply cost too much, $275 a night, probably maximum tourist season price, true, for probably the least nice deluxe queen room.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. We had one of the rooms on the top floor and it was a beautiful suite. Staff was very nice and accommodating and let us store our bikes on site and mailed us a few items we left behind. Enjoyed both the bar and the restaurant and the unique feel of the place. We took the age of the building in stride - our room neighbors were a couple having an epic all night conversation / argument, but it's to be expected and the white noise machine was very helpful in reducing noise, so definitely be sure to use it!!!

This place is not for everyone- of you want a Hilton experience, stay at a Hilton. But if you appreciate a beautiful old building and a staff that cares, you really should check it out. Yes, there are homeless and there was some yelling at odd times. Nevertheless we had a GREAT experience in the bar (bartender was awesome!) and slept well. The cherry on top of the sundae was that I left a pair of earrings behind. Normally I would just write them off 'cuz have you ever tried to recover something you left in a hotel room?! Not here. They called me within hours of our checkout to let me know they found them. They mailed them back to me within days! That's the kind of hospitality they will show you. If you like a little something funky and different, we would highly recommend The Inn!

Very nice place to stay. Our room was clean and I loved using the "white noise" machine in the room when I went to bed. I think next time I'll ask for a room with a fridge. But the front desk was accommodating with ice buckets. Free parking, and everything is pretty much within walking distance!

The staff were so friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Very comfortable room with everything you could need. This place has such amazing history! It will be my go to hotel in Eureka!

Stayed here to try something other than a traditional hotel on our way up the coast. The check-in process was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I can't say enough how great the staff was. There was coffee and tea in the lobby and a warm fire. They are also pet friendly, which meant there was also a very sweet dog in the lobby looking for any love and pets to be given. This was a definite bonus for me! The room was a little outdated but overall was what had been expected. The bathroom was very small, but it is an old building so understandable. The shower head was great! The biggest thing to note is that there is NO cooling or heating system like in a modern hotel. It was freezing throughout the night. They do provide a standing heater for the room, but it just isn't powerful enough to make a huge difference unless it runs nonstop since the room is pretty large. If you visit in warmer months or enjoy colder rooms, then this might not be an issue. The neighborhood around it had some local artisan stores, restaurants, and bars to do some walking around. A lot of great shops to check out and explore.

I would give this more stars if there wasn't a lot of screaming homeless people in front of the hotel day and night. The hotel itself is great! Located right downtown within walking distance to restaurants. We were here on a Friday night and there was a great street fair going on. Bought some cool art. Eureka is a great little town. We enjoyed the hotel itself very much. However, it's located across the street from a rescue mission and some of the homeless hang out and scream obscenities day and night which isn't cool if you have young children with you. Being downtown, it's very loud so you may want to bring noise canceling headphones with you or take advantage of the white noise machine provided in your room. The bathroom is nice but small and there is no counter space for a blow dryer or anyplace for your toiletries.

I performed here with my band high step society I was treated so well. Everyone was so help ful the security guard Kelly helped me with my gear and made sure I was taken of care of I appreciate all the staff everyone was so nice and helpful.

It's unfortunate, but very disappointing. Don't stay in room 32! $250 per night and no hot water in the shower! Rebecca says she understands my frustration, yet offers a 20% discount on my next stay, like that should somehow absolve the organization from its willful disregard for its obligations. Further, she says her people checked and hot water out of shower was fine, and must have just been a lot of people using hot water. I advised of the issue at checkout, if organization so concerned, they should have gone directly to the room, asked me to accompany and validate my direct complaint at the time. "A lot of guests using hot water ". Nonsense! If that were the case there wouldn't be hot water in the sink and there was. Moreover, if that were the case, they should have disclaimer on website indicating hot shower is a crap shoot and life is hard. In addition to cold shower, the elevator smells like chemicals/pesticides. Homeless drug addicts screaming off and on all night. Very sketchy neighborhood. One and done, never again. Maybe you should have responded to last email I sent instead of ignoring...

After talking with the owner who followed-up on her own volition, I am increasing the stars that are specifically dedicated to the Inn. We talked for 15 to 20 minutes on how she and the staff can improve the facility. She acknowledged some of my frustrations and shared some of her own. As a consumer, her dedication to her business is something we should applaud. I look forward to going back to the Inn in the future. Additionally, Some of my Prior of you should have been directed to the restaurant establishment separately. Therefore, I will copy and paste those issues into another review.

The building was cute, the staff was nice, the room was clean. The sheets were like sandpaper, the tiny corner shower was abysmal (if someone flushed the toilet anywhere in town, you got scalded), no AC, no window in our room for fresh air, no ceiling fan (there was a tiny portable fan in the closet)... it was very hot and stuffy. The door lock was a joke. It was not the place for us. I'm so tired.

A wonderful start to our 17-day road trip. So glad we landed here our first night on the road. Thank you to manager Geoffrey, and greeter dog Max whom we loved. Good news: The hotel is dog-friendly on the first three floors! Great location to walk to good food and local retail. Lunch at Vista del Mar just a few blocks away we shared fish & chips and cold beers. Definitely a locals place. That night, we drove over to Jetty Samoa for drinks alfresco and then dinner at Café Marina and Woodley's Bar - revisiting all my haunts from years ago. Everything close to or at the water's edge. And an easy walk or drive from the Inn. The next morning we gleefully found our way to Los Bagels another longtime local in the region. Let me just say - BEST BAGELS ever. And organic!!! The Inn does provide a wonderful continental breakfast in the lobby area. Our king suite at the Inn was so comfy and quiet. Wonderful linens and towels make such a big difference. Big windows and lots of light. No coffeemakers in the rooms but an easy trip to the lobby first thing in the morning to bring our caffeine brew to our room. Also, met one of the housekeeping staff - forgive me forgetting her name - she was just incredible. The restaurant was closed the night we stayed. Hope to enjoy that on our return. Public spaces on every floor were so welcoming. Books, board games, and puzzles - plenty to keep friends and families occupied day and night. The Humboldt County Visitors Bureau has just relocated down the street. If you need any guidance for places to go in the region - check them out at 422 1st St, Eureka, CA 95501. Next time more than one night in Eureka! PS - Was bothered to see that some reviewers dinged the Inn because of social issues in the area - saying it was dangerous or unsafe. We never felt unsafe!

If you find quirky historical stuff charming, this place is for you. Disclaimer: every room is different, so each experience is different. In addition, the pandemic seems to have (hopefully temporarily) affected the charm of this place. Unknown how much of the things we didn't like were due to virus-related changes. What we liked: Hotel is very close to the waterfront and walkable to old town Euereka. Easy parking. Each room has personality. Great view from third story (facing town, not the ocean, though) with some operable windows. Everything felt clean, but some bits were run down like holes in the carpet. Bed was very comfortable. Everything in the room worked. It was architecturally interesting with lots of nooks and little places to get lost upstairs. Cool history of the site. Good price on a Saturday-night stay. Neutral quirks: Rooms have real metal keys, and most have no tv. Odd things like a mirror in the shower. Heating and air were in the form of portable heater and fan. Reportedly haunted. Big portrait of a cat named Purrl where you can supposedly get a discount on your next stay of you take a selfie with her. What we didn't so much like: We don't expect any frills, but we wished our room had some of the basics like a peephole, a security chain on the door, any informational materials, or a coffee pot. The whole place seemed understaffed (the person at the desk when we first arrived wasn't able to check us in, slow service in the ballroom when we wanted to get food and drinks there around 3:30 p.m., no staff around and no lights on in the lobby at 7 a.m. when we came down looking for coffee, and you can't get into the lobby without at key at nighttime). Being in town is fun, but it has its drawbacks including some loud cars and loud people on the streets early in the morning. All in all I would give this place another chance post-pandemic. It was still fun and mostly charming despite what was missing.

This place is charming and a nice change of pace from your standard hotel experience. The staff was extremely helpful, especially Geoffrey who helped us with a late check in and local info. Location is great for bars and dining options. Free on-site parking.

I booked the Eagle House ballroom (part of the Inn at 2nd & C) for an event that I planned and put on in October 2021. It was a small conference with about 50 people attending, with a casual box lunch served during the day and a formal sit-down dinner that night. The Eagle House ballroom proved to be a perfect venue for our event. Jenny and her staff were attentive to our every need. They set up the space in advance, provided audio/video equipment to be used by our speakers, and were helpful in meeting each of the spontaneous needs that invariably come up during the course of an event like this. Many of the attendees of my event were from out of town, and these guests seemed very taken with the beauty and elegance of the Eagle House ballroom. Also, not surprisingly, the food served at this event was superb. My guests were very happy with the dinner, which was praised all around. I cannot recommend the Eagle House (Inn at 2nd & C) highly enough if you are planning to hold an event in Eureka. This venue really has no equal -- it is classy, elegant, stylish, and also it is attached to a restaurant that serves amazing food. You will not be disappointed if you choose to host an event at the Eagle House as we did.

The place seemed ok but the cook with the manbun kept sneaking out the kitchen door to get high. Not very professional at all. Makes me wonder what the rest of the employees are up to.

Room was CLEAN and beautiful, with quality linens, and a lovely view. Water was available downstairs with some pretty glass carafes you take back to your room. The tea selection at breakfast was better than anything you can buy in Eureka. The pipes were loud in the old house when other guests ran water, but it didn't bother me enough to use the provided earplugs. The bed was giant and I got the best sleep I've had in months. My only complaint is that the restaurant downstairs were only serving drinks. Nobody had bothered to tell us or take down the menus on the wall, so we had to go out in the rain to try to find somewhere open on a Sunday night in Old Town (good luck). Without any refrigerators in the room, it's important to make sure your guests don't starve. The price is a bit steep for what you get, but I would stay here again.

What a fabulous place to stay for a week's vacation in Eureka, CA....this place is so warm & charming, certainly not your average hotel.....the accommodations are wonderful & the staff are all so professional with a warmth that makes you feel right at home....everyone was so nice & made our stay truly remarkable ~ especially Jeffery Goldsmith & his beautiful dog, MAX....also Adrienne, who went out of her way to keep us comfortable 24/7... thanks to all of you for making our vacation a big success... We look forward to returning to Eureka & staying here again ~ the rooms are beautiful!

I stayed here over Valentine's day weekend, and I enjoyed my stay, but there are some cons. Disclaimer: it was an emotional weekend for me. I rented my room on Expedia. I looked through all of their photos, and all of the photos of this inn on the other hotel booking sites because what I was really looking for was a weekend with a bath. On expedia, it said that each room has a shower AND a tub, but the only room with a photo of a tub was like a deluxe suite something-or-other. It was very expensive. (About $400 for two nights) But it was a beautiful tub. I had done this searching right when the year started, and I'd been saving since long before then. I'm a young lady right out of college, so for me, the hotel IS the vacation. I spent weeks picking out books to read in the tub. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. They serve Good quality tea (no lipton in sight!) in beautiful tea cups. I was very excited to see the room. My room did not have a tv (something stated very very clearly on expedia), but it also did not have a microwave or a bathtub of any kind. Just a standing shower. That sucked! $400 and a standing shower without even a microwave! My sort of boyfriend eventually joined me at the hotel, and he went and asked them to switch us to a room with a bath and explained how I'd waited so long and the pictures online had the tub and expedia said there would be a tub. They allowed us to switch rooms for one night. The next night, they said, someone already had the tub room reserved. They did require an additional charge as a cleaning fee when we switched rooms, but they did not rush us the next day to switch back. Ultimately, I got my bath for the one night, and it was super kind of them to switch us. Plus, the hotel had really stellar live music. In the future though, I would likely not come back without requesting that room, and I would not recommend the stay unless you get that room. The whole hotel is gorgeous. The pillows are incredible, but the beds arent better than the motel 6, and if you're spending $200, you gotta have a bath. It is located in a great part of old town--and it is beautiful!--but if the hotel is your vacation, get the room with the bath

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast in right in downtown Eureka. Our room was spacious (25) . Very nice front desk person Adrian and the hotel manager lives on the property- Jeffery. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The ballroom was very cool and we had a drink in the classy bar!

My partner and I just returned home from an amazing two nights spent at the Inn at 2nd and C in Eureka. The historic eagle house is incredible, and when we arrived to find the room I had booked was not the one I had intended to, Jimmy was wonderful at helping us upgrade hassle-free. Dinner at the attached bar and restaurant Phatsy Klines was decadent and delicious, and the beautifully maintained and decorated eagle house made for a pleasant home base and refuge from the rain. We will definitely be staying here again. We highly recommend this place!

I don't often stay at inns but the eagle house seemed like a place that had a certain je ne sais quoi.....I wasn't disappointed; from the historic decor to the friendly and attentive staff this inn stands out. The location right next to the waterfront was perfect for our stay. The fish festival was happening right in front of the inn! so fun....it was great the inn also has a bar "Phatsy Kline's", which is a chill lounge with great drinks. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the area. Postscript: in case you're looking to throw a party, weather it be a wedding, birthday or just for the hell of it, I would rent this whole place out, especially considering the coolest ballroom at a hotel I've ever seen...

I never leave reviews but we had such a great experience here with our front desk host Cameron. He couldn't have been more pleasant, hospitable and helpful. Our room was great but Cameron really made this place 5 stars!

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago and were not only disappointed in our stay but concerned about our safety. The hotel sits across from a rescue mission so there are lots of homeless walking around - we didn't even feel comfortable walking outside during the day. We're from a large city and used to a homeless population but pulling up to people chasing each other down the street didn't give us a good feel. The entire area just felt run down. Our room was on the 2nd floor and we were kept up all night by people screaming and fighting in the street, I think 2 to 4 am was the loudest. We had to leave the window open because there was no AC in the room so that didn't help anything. The room also did not have a tv or standing shower, which I get is part of the appeal for some but not quite our preference. I'm giving two stars rather than one though because the staff was extremely pleasant, also the food was good at the hotel restaurant. Which we had no choice but to eat at since we didn't feel safe leaving the hotel to go elsewhere. Overall, the experience was not what we expected for the $275/night.

This place is amazingly decorated... Wife and I stayed there for a few days and just loved walking around the old building... The restoration of the center hall is nothing short of epic. The woodwork only makes sense in light of Eureka's sawmill history... so much gorgeous wood. It's worth a trip to Eureka just to hang out at the bar and stay here...

We stayed at this place and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The rooms are large and well appointed They had a nice continental breakfast This was a good base for great hiking and explore A bonus was the entertainment in the dance hall in Saturday night The service was also very good

Absolutely gorgeous historic Inn. Pay the extra for one of the suites, the rooms are gorgeous with views of the harbor and the adorable historic downtown. Also, the attached restaurant has some of the best ratings of any place in town and we really enjoyed it. The hotel was built in 1888 and you can easily imagine a western being filmed in the ballroom. I think I am here in the off season which explains how the room we got was so affordable. Last thing- saw a seal in the harbor!

Pros: The room was clean. The bedding was luxurious. The staff was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is beautiful and haunting. Cons: Some rooms are noisy at night. Room features are inconsistent. Some of the hotel is in poor shape. You don't want to walk the streets alone. Advice: If you're going to book a room at The Inn at 2nd & C, get one as far from the intersection of 2nd and C as possible. A room facing the bay on the fourth floor, if such a room exists, might be perfect. Our room was right at the intersection on the second floor. It was awful to (try to) sleep in. With all the coughing and hacking, I thought someone in the room next to us was sick. I finally realized it was the homeless gathering around a garbage can outside at various hours of the night. The traffic noise that accompanied the homeless was a bit of irony. I decided against another hotel because it's located on the main drag. I thought downtown would be quieter. It mostly was, but several times per night drivers "gunned it off the line" at a nearby stop sign. As for consistency, we saw a few of the empty rooms on the ghost tour. Some of them, though smaller, appeared to be in better shape and are better situated for minimal noise. As you'll see in the picture taken from my bedroom window, I'm sure many of them have better views.

We'll probably stay elsewhere next North Coast visit. Dog friendly room carpet a bit stained and tattered but other rooms we saw were much nicer. Nightly sounds from Gallagher's Irish Pub easily heard from room until a little after 9pm. After that the creaking floors and thin walls made additional unwanted sounds. Ear plugs (!) provided in room if needed. Electric space heaters provided enough warmth against the November chill - good that we prefer a cool room for sleeting. Organic homemade breakfast items very tasty but coffee weak. Efficient, helpful and friendly staff. Good location walking distance to old town Eureka and waterfront with convenient off street parking adjacent to lobby entrance.

I wanted to like this place but it is the noisiest property that I've ever stayed in. Noise from other rooms, noise from people drinking in the ballroom, and never ending street noise. The front desk folks are helpful and pleasant, the house dog is sweet, and the hotel bar is very nice. That said, I came here to sleep and that's pretty hard to do with all the *#^$$ noise. Do not recommend. Unless you are hearing impaired or suffer from narcolepsy.

Service was good. The building itself was ok - a little dated and needing a refresh but a tad charming. The location was good - close to restaurants and bars. And the location was bad - in the middle of Eureka's homeless and/or addicted population that did not engender any sympathy when they were yelling at each other and blaring music outside our window at zero-dark-thirty. The window would have been closed if the building had air conditioning but it was cooler outside than in, thus we opened the windows.

We LOVE THIS PLACE! Built in 1888 and still smells FRESH!! Really comfortable beds and pillows. The rooms are very large and well appointed in period decor. Update plumbing fixtures and really really CLEAN throughout the whole hotel. 1888 and it's a Grand Ballroom of a hotel. Go to the 3 or 4th floor sitting areas for Sunset. Several different style rooms. Ask which one tickles your fancy. You won't be disappointed. The restaurant and bar have live music and comedy on occasion, it's a lively speakeasy and great place to stay. Near the Marina and Town square which are clean and full of small boutiques. This is not your average Inn. Hoping the owners keep it classy. Will return time and time again! Cheers!!

Probably one of the coolest hotels I've ever stayed in. Its historically in tact, the staff goes above and beyond, and there's even a purrfect little kitty kat that matches one of their paintings neandering through the halls checking on guests! Every time I visit the Inn I discover something new and quirky, absolutely recommend this place!

Loud and dingy overall. Makes me wonder how they got a good rating. clean bathroom except for the hair in the shower. iffy room carpet, thrift store art on the walls, shower water went ice cold about once every 45 seconds, reception staff also ran hot and cold, bed was comfortable. very unpleasant stay, but kudos to the housekeeping staff.

What a lovely place to rest my head at the end of a long day ! Charming, clean, top notch bedding with down pillows and comforter, thick towels. AND I could go downstairs and have one of THE BEST cocktails ever ! Also food available at Phatsy Kline's downstairs...so yummy. Coffee and tea in the lobby and we walked along the Waterfront. WE will be back...just so wonderful to be at this historic Inn.

I had a very nice stay here while traveling for work. The staff was excellent and the room was unique and clean.

My husband and I were driving the California coast for our honeymoon. We knew that we wanted to stay in Eureka for a night. We decided to check out the old town district to see what hotels were available. While driving through, we saw the 2nd & C. We booked through booking.com to ensure that here were rooms available. The inn is very charming with its Victorian architecture. Inside is amazing. We enjoy history and seeing this old inn, in great condition, was very exciting. We were met by very friendly staff that upgraded our room because of our honeymoon. She walked us up to our room, and gave us some ideas of what to do in Eureka. The room was beautiful, as is the entire inn, with the antique hardwood furniture matching the era of the majestic building. With views overlooking the harbor and bay. The bed was very comfortable, the sheets and towels soft, the water pressure great (especially for someone with long hair like mine), the bathroom was sparkling, and the room well lit. We will surely be coming back here in the future. We had a great time being able to wander around the inn, see the sitting rooms, ball room, and all of the antiques, paintings, and books along the way. We met with one of the new owners, Rebecca, who was very sweet, explaining the complimentary tea times, and wine hour in the lobby. The only thing that I would recommend, is to have a book that explains the interesting history of the building, and region. We read about it on their website, but would love to see a little history book available in the sitting rooms. This inn is wonderful, the creaking of the stairs while you climb adds to the ambiance of this gorgeous Victorian era inn. If you love history, I recommend that you stay here to enjoy this beautiful building from an era of elegance long past.

My daughter wanted a Royal Birthday Celebration for her 5th Birthday, so we decided the best castle to stay in was the Inn at 2nd & C. It was perfect! We chose the luxurious suite, Buon Gusto, overlooking Old Town, with gorgeous antique furniture, a cozy sitting area with a view of Eureka, and the bed... oh, the bed.... so comfortable! The historic yet updated stylish ambiance throughout the entire Inn made our stay perfectly royal! And the front desk team was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. We'll definitely stay again!

As much as I would like to make up 1,000 account to try to let the public know about how terrible your establishment is. That is not me. I'm sorry to Tyler and J.C that their reviews will be over looked as if I did them. Sorry but I feel better knowing other people get the same disrespect I did. And hopefully more people will see the truth about this crooked business and try to get the word out as well. If you want to make a big deal out of it and falsify my one and only review go ahead. I hope it makes you guys feel better to know that I visited your "hotel" to desperately escape these terrible fires in my area. All I wanted was a refund in these trying times for the night I didn't even stay there and you throw review away because you think I wrote false reviews on a stupid website that actually tons of people see also because of a little bit of dog hair. May I remind you in a pet friendly room. I paid full price and you down graded me to a smelly pet friendly room without compensation for the actually room I paid for in the beginning and that is what I see unfair and crooked. As far as the review I just wanted to let the public know how terrible the area was and bringing woman and children there is dangerous. Thank you for reading this as you must be so busy. And god bless all those who lost their homes or loved ones to these fires. - the one and only Jaden

This is a very old building with great architecture and charm. If you love non-ordinary fun and unique this is a place for you if you stay in Eureka. The hotel is a 1988 Victorian called Eagle House. The staff is really pleasant. They have nightly entertainment and offer a free beverage at the bar. They also have continental breakfast. There are lots of shops, coffee houses and restaurants within walking distance. It would be nice to see more of this area updated and cleaned up to be more family friendly. We loved our stay and I'm glad I picked this hotel. The continental breakfast was very fresh and delicious offering organic yogurt, fruits and pastries and delicious granola from a local nearby bakery.

My family had arrived in Eureka with no place to stay, as we decided to play our entire trip by ear. We came across this place and hoped to find a room. We were pleasantly surprised! I love the vintage look of the Inn. I feel like I've gone back in time. The rooms are unique but all follow the age and style of the building. The organic continental breakfast is tasty and quaint. I missed the tea time that is offered. But I heard it was good. The staff is super nice and accommodating. I loved our stay!

We stayed here 2 days over Labor Day weekend for our Babymoon and absolutely loved it. We both love old, historic places with personality and character and boy does this place have it! As luck would have it, someone had rented out the ballroom for a birthday party and hired a old timey jazz band. It automatically set the mood. When we walked in, it was like walking back in time. The new owners have kept the old world charm, while providing modern comforts like WIFI. The complimentary tea in the afternoons on antique china is an excellent touch. Breakfast is served with the same vintage dishware and silverware. Details like this really make this stay an experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we were even shown to our room. Real, vintage keys are given for the rooms. Everywhere you look is ornate wood and glass work, and the decor reflects the period as well. They recently added a bar, but were sure that the design works well with the rest of the building. Guests receive a free drink at 5pm everyday, except Sunday when the bar is closed. Beware that the walls of old places like this can be thin. Once we heard the couple next to us, and once a loud car radio outside. Ear plugs are provided on the nightstand, but we never needed them. For just slightly more money than a chain hotel, you could be housed like a 1920s socialite. We'll absolutely be back.
