Fairwinds Motel Arcata Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

I booked a junior suite and the room was very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was friendly. My only criticisms are 1. The coffee place doesn’t open until 2pm outside of M-W if you want an espresso drink. 2. The junior suite shower is a huge step over and into the jetted tub. 3. Reservations are a must for Sushi Blue and the front desk doesn’t always show the same information in their system regarding availability. Other than these things, I really enjoyed my stay.

This is a motel, located near Highway 101, in a convenient location. Breakfast and shower were fine. The main issue was safety features. We initially were given a room on the second floor, no elevators. After going down the stairs and walking from the sidewalk to the road, my wife tripped on a sloping step and landed directly on her nose. She began bleeding from her nose. We brought her to the office, and they were helpful with first aid supplies. We ended up going to a local ER and leaving after they would not allow us into the building, due to COVID. In any case, we returned to the property and transferred to a first-floor accessible room, which was fine. Walking on the walkway between all the rooms, it became apparent to me that the concrete walkway from room to room on ground level is uneven. So, I think this property may not be safe for those with disabilities. If we end up in Arcata again, we will have to see if there is a safer place. Other than that, I do not have other issues.

very good! The room is large, the bed is comfortable and the location is convenient. When I made a reservation, I found that the review was only 3.8. I saw someone commenting that ”such a good hotel, I don't understand why the score is not high”, so I decided to try it for one night. After moving in, I also want to repeat this sentence.

Staff were friendly and room was clean. Hotel has a gate around it to protect your car overnight. Hallways smelled like pot most of the time but room didn’t smell. I called ahead to confirm what was in the hot breakfast before booking because we have gluten issues. First morning was a Saturday and there was a sign saying “no hot breakfast”. The next day they had powdered eggs and sausage (each piece cut into thirds) served in a tiny warming dish like you’d get at Kohls on Black Friday. There was no juice any of the days.

Just what you would expect. We had no choices because of graduation weekend. Manager was nice and gave us a better room when requested. No shampoo or blow dryer less you ask. Not sure but seemed like there may have been some full-time guests living there.

An ordinary motel on Highway 1! Nothing special, there should be a lot of everything, and no special facilities! Motels, convenient travel is the most important

Everything was good but the heater was loud. Whenever it turned on, it woke me up. Room was clean and room was in good condition. The breakfast was sad with a barely edible microwave burrito, granola bar and water. They must have gone shopping at Costco. They shouldn’t advertise free breakfast.
