Wasn't expecting much so not too disappointed.Clean beds and linens, road noise is louder than normal. The money we saved compared to the larger hostels paid for Mcdonalds. Focused on Disneyland and was able to look past some of the imperfections. Besides the noisy street and funny smells I would probably stay here again. (Kidding) Not sure how this rated a number 6 of 16. My recommendation; try another low budget hotel in town, 10 others to choose from.

The Hotel was on the main street thyrough town and was not very soundproofed. Rom was dated. The breakfast 'room' was a couple of tables set up in the lobby next to the reception desk, which while we were eating, the manager was arguing with someone on the telephone. All in all not a very pleasant experience

We stayed at the Rodeway for 2 nights in August, If you just want some where cheap to stay for the night then the rodeway will fit the bill. The room and furnishings were tired but were clean and tidy. the breakfast in the reception area was adequate. Its location is about as close to the 101 as you could get. All in all we got what we paid for. Our stay in Eureka coincided with the towns monthly Arts weekend. We were very impressed with the efforts of the organisers and participants of this event. We visited a fab Art Deco Cinema showing old looney tunes cartoons with free entry and free popcorn, we also strolled downtown and walked along the historic harbour. Before we left we ate at the unique Somoa cookhouse.

This older and somewhat homely-looking motel is on a portion of Hwy 101 that splits into two one-way streets through town, but location is extremely convenient; situated just as you exit Eureka going northbound to Arcata. Access to North & South 101 is, joyfully, just a matter of turning out of the front or side driveway, and it is about 8 easy miles to Humboldt State U. We stayed 2 nights and noise wasn't terrible, 101 is right there but traffic sounded like it was in the distance. Although we didn't walk around, the immediate business area felt safe and was close to fast food, gas, and Target.

Double queen room was spacious, and bathroom looked recently remodeled with new wallpaper, curved curtain rod, etc., although the sink faucet was leaky. Didn't hear any noise from neighboring rooms at all. Room was on a "daily clean" level but the "deep cleaning" needed to be stepped up a bit. Towels not particularly plush but acceptable, beds were comfy and room temp perfect. Other reviewers complained about breakfast but it was fine. It advertised "Continental Breakfast" and that's what it was--2 kinds of breakfast cereal, muffins, toast-your-own bagels & cream cheese, coffee. I think we travelers get spoiled when hotels advertise "Continental Breakfast" then give us scrambled eggs, waffles, sausage, hash browns and 6 flavors of tea. I don't fault this hotel for providing just what it advertises. It was just enough to get you on the road without going hungry. Overall, comfortable, convenient and an excellent value.
