Outstanding hotel and staff! It's quaint without the creaks and groans of an old hotel. Needed a small fridge for some medication that has to stay cold and it was in our room in minutes. The restaurant and the bar on-site are also award winning and deservedly so. Easy walk to old town.

Check in was good and staff member was very nice. We arrived around 6 pm. Once settled, looked for dinner options. Inside restaurant was more formal than we wanted after a long drive, so asked for local options near hotel. I was given a list by the manager, with * by walking distance options. Picked the first one for fish and chips. . Well, it turned out the be a Bar that offered food. The one block walk was shocking. Skid Row with lots of folks falling over from drug addiction. Definately unsafe. Food was terrible. Ended up ordering delivery. The hotel itself feels like an island surrounded by addiction. How the hotel would even recommend this place is beyond me - or at the very list offer a warning. The gal who checked us in, felt bad about the experience and brought us a dessert to apologize. Nice gesture on her part
The next morning we had reservations for breakfast at the restaurant inside the hotel. I travel with a small medical service dog. Placed her in a stroller to be unobtrusive. As we entered, a staff member yelled from across the lobby that pets had to be in the lobby. I responded that she was service and she kept yelling at us. Other folks in the lobby joined the chorus and told us that 'we' were disrupting their experience. Ruined our appetite and we swiftly checked out. Manager after he arrived apologized, but the poor experience was terrible.
Room had landscape lights shining in the window, all night long and toilet seat was not attached on one side.

We loved the hotel, staff, meals and our room. Unfortunately Eureka (and in particular the few blocks around the hotel), is overrun by homeless drug zombies.

Within the first half hour of our arrival, the police had to come and revive an overdose by our back door. We had watched the dealer sell him drugs, watched him smoke them and then he overdosed.

We saw many drugs sold and being smoked all around us. We could not go out after dark, as the zombies were everywhere.

I had to call the police when one of them parked his car outside our ground floor room and played loud music, as the drugged out homeless gathered around him to get what he was offering, and smoke it in his car with him. We could not open our windows, even though the room was hot, because we could not lock them, and the homeless were gathered outside.

My mom was scared, even though she grew up in Seattle, and wanted to leave. I did not feel safe, and was nervous to take my dog outside to do his business, or to leave my car parked out there.

It’s sad because the hotel feels like an oasis in a bad zombie movie.

We stayed at Carter house in their top of the line rooms (large suites) for four nights. Two rooms. The pictures on the website looked wonderful. However what we found was significantly less than published. The furnishings were quite tired both in the lobby and in both rooms Also the common area carpet was dirty and the lobby furniture was extremely worn. We asked for our rooms to be cleaned and refreshed twice while there. Only once they changed the towels. Bathroom light was burned out. Bed was made but left everything on tables and desk scattered and didn't refill things like the coffee.

With that said the reception staff, restaurant staff and bar staff were terrific. Worked very hard to please. Restaurant food was terrific. Both breakfast and dinner we outstanding!!

I really wanted to like the place as it looked very charming. It just needs a good refresh.

More than we’d usually spend on a hotel, but pleasantly surprised! The super high water pressure, hot shower alone made it worth it! Plus complimentary beer or wine and cookies upon arrival, high quality tea and coffee (with oat milk available), a healthy breakfast, and an EV charger - can’t complain! The room got pretty warm with the evening sun, but opening the window and using the fan helped. Quiet clientele and friendly staff. Recommended and we’ll stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our room included 2 glasses of wine, The bartender made some great Mocktails for us as we do not drink alcohol, which was much appreciated. The staff were very friendly and gave good suggestions for dinner within walking distance, The location is not in the heart of the city but by the marina. There were a few homeless people in the area. The Breakfast Buffet was very good and we had a choice of extra hot dishes made to order. Very nice.

The Carter House Inn is a replica of an historic Victorian building and has a quaint, cozy, welcoming feel. We enjoyed a free glass of wine with a delicious dinner (Carter House Inn salad of frisee, pear, kale, spiced pecans), mushroom tart with goat cheese, and poached sockeye salmon, grilled asparagus and delicious lemony hollandaise sauce. The Bandol rosé was a perfect painting. Breakfast was memorable, with a spread of seasonal fruit, healthy grain breads, Greek yoghurt, pastries and overnight oats. I also loved the gingered carrot juice shot! The Inn has received numerous awards by the Wine Spectator and seems to be living up to its reputation! The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. They also have a huge wine cellar. Next time, we’ll explore this option! Highly recommend.

The General Manager, Troy, is one of the hardest working Hospitality Managers I have ever came across. During our stay, I saw him there morning, noon, and night. The owners are lucky to have a General Manager setting such a great example to all of their staff. We enjoyed the breakfast that was included with the stay, and enjoyed the complimentary drinks in the Inn’s bar. Nice conversations with other guests at the bar! Very close to the Carson Mansion and other amenities that come with the Old Town area. Some really great restaurants in walking distance of the Inn. Will definitely be back!

Excellent evening staff checking us in and excellent server handling both the bar and the dinner tables. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was very good. Again, the staff were all very good and attentive and helpful.

The only thing that I would have liked was to have screens on the windows which would have allowed us to leave the windows open at night to cool down the room. There is no A/C but we were provided fans, which was a life saver. But we really were still too hot overnight. We don't like to open windows without screens as bugs/mosquitoes could get in. A/C would be nice too, but I know that that is very expensive to add.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would return in the future.

The hotel appears lovely but upon closer look, it is in desperate need of attention to detail. Ive stayed at carter house several times and this past time it struck me how cute this place could be with some easy upkeep.
1. Old multiple layers of paint on the doors that were worn / significantly chipped
2. Holes from old rob hook not patched nor painted.
3. Strong urine smell in lobby bathroom first thing in the morning
4. Old jetted tubs that need to be replaced- no one uses those they are bacterial incubators & give nasty vibes
5. All door knobs tarnished & loose
Our room was apparently right above the bar which was extremely loud until midnight despite the bar closing at 10.
Person who greeted us was extremely nice chipper & helpful. Breakfast was good, coffee was great.
I just feel like there is so much potential going out the window. Someone needs to go room by room to identify ways to dial it in a bit.
The grunge factor i felt this stay may have me considering an alternative place next time im in eureka….

After a comically horrible experience booking with another local inn that didn’t bother to inform me that the city had shut them down prior to arriving for our stay, my partner and were left scrambling to find alternative accommodations for our stay in Eureka. Despite the initial nightmare of arriving to an abandoned property after a long four hour drive, The Carter House Inn was luckily there to save the day with an available room, and not only completely saved our trip but ended up making it all the better.

The check in/check out process was seamless and the amenities were abundant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more warm, friendly, and personable touch like the treatment we received from Troy and the entire Carter House team. I will definitely be staying there on a return visit in the future.

Keep in mind - its an old house, so noise travels. And there was some street noise.

Will hopefully return to visit again. Would highly recommend to any travelers.

From the warm greeting to the marvelous custom prepared breakfast, we were delighted at every turn. Great bath amenities, including thick bath sheets. And just a few short blocks from the Carson Mansion and the rest of Victorian Eureka.

The staff were so friendly and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was beyond amazing and way more than we expected, we actually had a hard time picking because everything looked so good! The quiche was delicious, and the fresh juices were such a nice touch to keep you energized and feeling good.

Our room was super clean and comfortable, and we loved ending the day at the bar after long walks through the redwoods. It was the perfect way to relax after exploring. Overall, this place was perfect, great food, great people, and such a cozy vibe. We can’t wait to come back!

This hotel reminded us of the glory days of Eureka. The room was nice, but a bit noisy as we needed open windows at night, which lets in traffic noise. The architecture of the place is great. All the staff are personable, friendly, and helpful.

The inn was quaint and in a good location for the old town area. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. We stayed in the main building which is quite old and there is no sound proofing. Also the tub didn't drain properly as likely older plumbing.The staff, especially Sarah, were very friendly and the complimentary wine hour is good.

Even thou the Inn in the downtown area. The location is safe, plenty of parking and the facility keeps the front door lock after happy hour bar closes @ 10pm. The facility is a lovely clean cute place to stay. Troy at the front is very personable and friendly. He was a pleasure to chat with. The morning breakfast was nice and the server was a delight. She sat us to our table even thou we were a tad late. The rooms are clean and stocked with the simple amenities in the bathroom. The over all stay was lovely positive experience. I would stay here again with my dog next visit.

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.

We loved staying at The Carter House. The staff provided first class service. The breakfast and dinner in their restaurant was top chef quality. Their wine collection is massive noted by Wine Spectator. They take service and guest satisfaction very seriously. We didn’t get a room upgrade but that could be because we had our larger dog with us. They are very dog friendly.

Very much Jeckle & Hyde between public areas & bedroom. If bedroom had been same as bar & restaurant it would have been 5 stars review.

Unfortunately it was not the case, poorly cleaned & prepared room, hair grip from previous occupant left on carpet, radiator cover hanging off, and cigar burn on carpet (flooring was carpet squares so not swapping that out is just lack of attention to detail).

The bed was lumpy & squeaky, the curtains hardly covered the windows so lots of light pollution led to poor night's sleep. Finally, bath was chipped & stained.

If in town again i could be tempted to bar or restaurant but i will stay elsewhere!

This inn was quaint & charming at one end of Old Town. The room was cozy, plush robes were provided as well as a basket of local goodies to indulge in if you chose. Complementary breakfast with a nice array of options was also a plus! I originally gave 4-star due to lack of an in-room fridge, which would have been helpful for medication storage. After mentioning this on a one-to-one with the hotel, I received an immediate message from the GM informing me that one could have been provided had they known, which I appreciated. This I gave a 5-star review here. I would definitely stay there again.
