The hotel is in a historic building with beautiful wood accents throughout. The staff are nice and try to be helpful. However, we were disappointed given the price we paid. Amenities include a restaurant on-site. While this is technically true, this is misleading since it is only open Thursday through Sunday in the high season. There is a small store across the street that has takeout sandwiches and burritos, but other food options require driving to another town. Our room had 4 hangers and no drawers or shelves to put clothes on. There was a dried urine spot on the toilet seat and long black hair in the bathroom floor when we checked in. A water line was broken during our stay, which we discovered when air and dirty water came out of the sink and toilet that evening. There was no sign to warn guests not to drink the water, or to run it for a few minutes before using. I hope no one got sick. It is too bad - this place has a lot of potential, but with present conditions you would be better off at a hotel in one of the nearby towns.

Our second stay in a week at Scotia Lodge. It was another comfortable start. Only downside this time was the restaurant was not open and the shower was warm, but not hot. Suppose that comes with the territory of a small hotel in a small town. Overall though, not enough to deter us from staying there again if traveling through the area.again. Overall, great stay and pet friendly. :)

The motel was clean, but the mattress was extremely soft and uncomfortable.

The pricing was also confusing. Before booking, I checked several aggregators and the hotel’s own website, and the price was identical across all of them. At checkout, however, the receipt showed a room rate that was roughly half of what I had paid. No one could explain the difference, so I left feeling like I had overpaid.

Spent one night in June 2026.

Staff at the desk were very kind and professional. Hotel is beautifully restored and clean. Because it’s a historic hotel, it doesn’t have certain amenities like an elevator or air conditioning, and that’s part of the charm! We were very comfortable with the windows open and a fan going. Beds were warm and comfortable with heavy quilts.

We were very glad to discover this lodge and will stay again if we happen to be passing through.

I would never recommend this place. Seriously. they have the lobby all pretty, the pictures looked good, but the rooms, not good. My daughter and I both had a room so we experienced two rooms.

⭐ 1 Star – Would Not Stay Again
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had. I booked a 3-night stay and ended up leaving early after 2 nights because the cleanliness was unacceptable.
The condition of the room did not match what was advertised. The carpet had visible stains throughout, the curtains had obvious discoloration and buildup, and the overall room felt unclean and poorly maintained. Even looking out the window, there was buildup and grime on the exterior areas, which gave the whole place a neglected feel.
I attached photos so you can see exactly what I’m talking about—this wasn’t just minor wear and tear. It felt unsanitary.
The staff was friendly during my stay, which I do appreciate. However, when I raised concerns and ultimately checked out early, I was not offered any kind of refund or resolution for the unused night, which was very disappointing.
Because of these conditions, I didn’t feel comfortable staying the full reservation and left early, which ended up costing me money.
The only positive was the location, but that doesn’t make up for the condition of the property.
I would not recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made to cleanliness and upkeep.

VERY DISAPPOINTED ‼️. We stayed there 16 years ago and had a wonderful experience and were excited to return.

HOWEVER:
1. Receptionist wasn’t friendly
2. The welcome drink was a choice between cans of 3 beers, soda or water. Why not be a little classier and give a drink at the onsite bar.
3. The route we were told to take to our room was up 2 1/2 flights of stairs, and down two long halls. Not easy for the elderly. When we left we found we could go out side door near our room and down just one flight to parking area on the side.
4. Restaurant—it is ballroom size. Three tables were occupied. After waiting a while and no one came to wait on us, we found out you were supposed to pick up a menu and ring a bell to place order. Only five entrees on menu. We left to go elsewhere.
5. I think breakfast was going to be a muffin so we went elsewhere.

This historic Inn is lovely, very well appointed & restored accommodations. Excellent service, beautiful upgrade to the property a few years ago. It’s a really quirky and interesting little town with areas of interest to explore, if you stay here, definitely take the time to walk across the bridge it’s a beautiful view.
That being said there aren’t really any restaurant options that then other than the hotel but they’re closed during the week in the off-season. The town itself is really unusual and odd but if you’re up here to see the redwoods or drive the avenue it’s a nice place to stay.

Very well appointed hotel, bespoke & to the untrained eye pretty consistently mid-century modern in appearance ( maybe except for the weird ornate wardrobe ) furniture, great staff, wished the rooms including the bathroom had more surfaces, maybe a larger desk. The shared spaces are immaculate, The bath faucet would direct at most 10% of the otherwise great temp and pressure water to the shower head.

there are no elevators. The women at the front desk told us we would have to carry our suitcases up the 2+ flights of stairs. No air conditioning and the room was boiling hot when we entered. Had to call to find out there was a fan in the closet. Morning desk clerk was very helpful though.

We loved our time here. We loved the historic vibes and the mid century modern aesthetic that was nice compliment to the craftsman building. We were welcomed with a drink at check-in and also had some complimentary beverages in the fridge in the room. Beds were comfy. showers were excellent with serious water pressure. Something to change? I would work on a better way to filter/clean out the provided pour over coffee (which was local and terrific). Drinks at the onsite bar were great. Would we stay here again? Absolutely, we're looking forward to our next visit.

The building is beautiful and staff are friendly and accommodating. Aside from the complimentary morning muffins, heads up the food is liquor-store microwave quality. I mean no disrespect to staff just warning others. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

I LOVED the Scotia Lodge, beautiful, clean, comfortable, friendly staff. The town feels ‘odd’-abandoned. It is an old “company town” with limited residents, services. The scenery is beautiful there ARE bigger cities nearby. If you are looking for some peaceful, relaxation this is your place.

My only complaint, unfortunately they were short staffed & not any dining options at the time. But would stay here again.

The Scotia Inn was beautiful. Within driving distance of some nice spots to visit like the Avenue of the Giants and down the street was a few really good eating spots. There is a convenience store across the street that was really convenient too. We also ordered some local pizza (at the suggestion of a ln inn staff) and hanging around the Inn for the afternoon was quiet and a good vibe. Definitely recommend! Only \"complaint\" I'd have was no AC but also no screens in the windows. We're not from Cali so maybe that's normal, but we never felt comfortable leaving the windows open at night. Fortunately the room would cool down enough and they provide a fan.

Beautiful, great service.

Gorgeous hotel!!! The front desk staff were excellent and the lobby area was beautiful, the restaurant was closed but the “small bites” offered by the front desk were delicious and very reasonably priced. The room was very clean.
The only thing was that *every* flat surface in the rooms is wood….the nightstands, tables, console under the TV, floor…and sometimes drinks and ice buckets sweat, and there are no coasters or anything so there’s nowhere to set drinks that you don’t worry about damaging the beautiful wood accents. But other than that minor thing, highly recommend and would absolutely stay there again.

Me and my wife went to Scotia Lodge for her birthday in March and we had the best moments. They have the best hospitality and the staff are so nice and helpful, they made everything so special for me and my wife. They decorated our room, brought some drinks and little gifts, we booked some massages and it was amazing. We definitely plan to be back!

I really wanted to love this place. There were rooms available last minute. We were able to get a two room suite for cheaper than two separate rooms at any of the other places in the area.The building was really beautiful and the rooms were cute. The staff we met were helpful and very nice. The room came with a couple free drinks and chocolates, which was a nice touch. The rooms, bathroom, and common areas were clean.

The not so great stuff: The beds were uncomfortable. If noise bothers you, this is not the place to stay. One of the windows banged around with every gust of wind and did not block any sound out. We were able to stop the banging with a little piece of toilet paper. Also, the water pressure in the shower was very weak and there wasn't really anywhere to set stuff down near the sink, which was mostly bothersome because the toilet didn't have a lid, so if you set something it could easily fall into the toilet.

Also, one of the reasons we chose this hotel was that it was supposed to have a restaurant, but it wasn't open during the hours indicated. The bar was also not open. The person at the front desk was really helpful though and suggested a couple places not far away. We didn't really see any other guests, so maybe we were there in the off season or something, but it would have been nice to know in advance.

Hidden Humboldt Gem!

Had an excellent stay here! The rooms are spacious and well decorated, staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and its located right off highway 101 with easy access to all of Humboldt County. Great for those who appreciate historic hotels and vintage vibes. Extra great if you happen to love Twin Peaks/David Lynch—very those vibes.

The food options are very limited, the coffee and muffins were not great. The Wonder bar was not open, the hallways were too dark but the restoration was so lovely and the staff was great ! I was overall so thankful they restored it, I wish I knew to bring my own wine and food

Very interesting and well restored older property. Currently no restaurant or food on site. Grocery just across the street. Easy drive to options in neighboring communities. Closest property to Humboldt Redwoods and amazing hiking. Be prepared for lots of stairs and no AC. Bed was comfortable.
We booked a suite with two bedrooms and one bath in between. Not really suited for 4 adults, better for family with kids. Probably would have preferred two separate room but price was right. Overall, enjoyed our brief stay.

Wow, what a gem this place is! Absolutely gorgeous, friendly staff and great decor. It was nice to sip our coffee in the lovely lobby in the morning. Beautiful lawn covered in white flowers. Drove over to Fortuna for DELISH pizza at Paul's Live from NY. Fantastic pit stop on our NorCal drive!

Loved the history of the hotel! It is lovingly restored. Bed was comfy. Staff was wonderful!!
Just a couple of suggestions, there was no hair dryer for the bathroom. The bathroom needed someplace to set things down and/or hang toiletry bag and towels.
There was no A/C in the room, which was fine for this time of year, but room was a little stuffy so wanted to open the windows for some air circulation-there are no screens on the windows so I didn’t feel very safe doing so. Also at other times of the year could be quite buggy.

There isn't a great amount to do in this historical locale, but a short drive puts you in the redwoods or to some dining options. The grocery store across the street makes great fresh sandwiches. The rooms are unique, quiet, and well appointed. There was a very nice sitting area just outside the door of our room. The staff persons were all nice, accommodating, we enjoyed our arrival refreshment. If you want to stay in a peaceful, historic building, this lodge woorks well.

The inn is located just a few miles North of Humboldt Woods - a great place to start from. The property was nicely refurbished in styles from the 1920's. Our stay was a nice change of pace from modern hotels. Everything was in perfect condition. We were disappointed that the restaurant and bar had been closed, but there are plenty of restaurants 15 minutes away by car.

This is a really beautiful hotel, set in stunning scenery. The interior is really carefully thought out and designed for entertainment. Unfortunately it was very quiet during our stay (Tuesday-Thursday) so I hope it’s just because it was mid-week and early in the season.

The main disappointment was that there was no food offering in the hotel. The restaurant opens Friday and Saturday, but this isn’t made clear on the website. We had to go out for food, which was ok but after a long drive we had hoped we could just kick back in the hotel.

There is a grocery store opposite the hotel, which has a good deli counter and you can also buy hot coffee from there.

Friendly staff and quick check in. Free drinks was great, but to get food was 7 miles away. The market across the street was already close when we got there. No table in the rooms to sit and eat. No counter in the bathroom for our toiletries. This hotel is over 100 years old. It’s different from our typical hotels.
