Our room was great - charming and updated with nice furnishings, very comfortable mattress, and a lovely bathroom. This whole hotel has charm - from the lovely and excellent restaurant (we had dinner and breakfast there) to the small and cozy bar. Staff is friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!

We woke up at 1:30 am to the sound of homeless men rummaging in trash cans, just outside the parking lot fence, with bright flashlights. Lots of glass bottles dropping into metal dumpsters.

Amazing jewel

The inn was wonderful. From the lavender blooming in its gardens to the plush towels and bathrobes. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was spacious. Breakfast was a culinary treat both mornings. The restaurant wasn’t open the two days of our stay, the menu promised a tantalizing array of food.

Didn’t explain that our room was not in main building. That’s a problem, there’s no elevator, so you need to carry luggage up front steps.

We enjoyed our stay at Carter House. The bartender made us mocktails because we didn’t want the options that they had. I was also able to charge our EV at no cost. Location is very convenient for Eureka.

There was no enough parking for our vehicle at night and we had to park on the street with lots of homeless about. The toilet kept getting stuck and wasting water. The staff in the breakfast room and front desk were nice, but needed help during the busy breakfast and afternoon check in times.

The curtains cannot block out the light, so the brightness in the early morning affects my sleep. The hotel has very few parking spaces, although it’s possible to find parking along the street.
