Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I did a weekend stay with my family. The room was bigger than I expected! I love when bathrooms have a separate toilet/shower area. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Cleaning service was great, we received fresh towels every day. The breakfast buffet was great as well and the staff kept the area clean and filled. I wish I could have taken advantage of the spa/hot tub which looked very relaxing. I will definitely save this place to my favorites!"
