We’ve stayed here in the past but won’t in the future. The Inn is historically quirky. I know that this is part of the point, but it could use some modern touches. Check in is through a jewelry store which is closed at night. We were not told about the common room during check in and had to discover it. There was coffee and sitting area with games plus a communal refrigerator. The coffee maker was just icky! We didn’t use it. Inn is located well for a walk around the fun Victoria buildings in town. Our 2 queen suite had a sitting area but no desk. There was 1 luggage rack and a small drawer & small closet but no dresser. Tiny shelf in bath was inadequate. Available outlets except in the bathroom had to be hunted as they were behind chairs and not convenient. Stairs are super steep and narrow. One needs to park on the street as there’s no parking. Lighting is ok. The restaurant had good fish & chips. Grab & go breakfast was super, but as we couldn’t get it until 8AM, we had breakfast in an excellent coffee house down the street and had grab & go for lunch.

My husband and I recently spent a night here on our drive up the coast toward Newport. The owners were friendly and gave us a brief tour of the property, before leaving us to unpack and unwind. The space was lovely with plush towels, Danish-inspired decor, and a private balcony with garden views. We both slept amazingly well - better than at our house! - and awoke to two sets of fawns grazing just outside the windows. Downtown Ferndale is also a short 5 minute walk away and features several nice restaurants, a grocery store, etc. Wish we had planned to stay longer, but hope to return in the future!

We have been coming here for about 5 years and it has always been a decent experience until this last stay. The food at the River's Edge was terrible. We had breakfast one day, and ordered room service one night. The omelet my husband got tasted like it was made with powdered eggs. They were out of hash browns (how does that happen?) I don't even know where to start with the room service. You have to call the front desk to order room service, which makes no sense. We called to ask if you could get soup for room service and were told no, then when we called to order the woman asked my husband if he wanted soup or salad!!!! When he asked what kind of soup she said ”I don't know ”. Not let me find out for you, just I don't know, so he got a salad with blue cheese dressing. We get our food and his salad has no dressing! He calls and says he didn't get his blue cheese dressing, when the person shows up at our door she has a bowl of blue cheese crumbles, no dressing!! We just gave up at that point. His fettuccine had some kind of burned cheese chunk on it, at least that's what we think it was. My meatloaf was more like salisbury steak, and was covered in some dark brown substance that was supposed to be gravy (I think). I didn't think you could mess up on mashed potatoes but those were not good either. $20.99 and I only could choke down a couple bites. There were no good machines to play on and of the ones we did play on, we had issues with half of them. The first night we went to the bar I ordered a drink and a shot. I was told that I could not have a drink and a shot, even though I was paying for them because it's against the rules??!! I've never heard of such a thing in my life! Then later on my husband and I saw other bartenders selling drinks with shots! I guess it's all about who you know. The saving graces of this place and the reason for 3 stars? The Express Cafe' has amazing food and staff, we loved every meal we had there and the staff was always very helpful. Barry the bartender, he was so nice and made great drinks. The kitty cat robot server (Bella) in the restaurant. The room was decent and the bed was comfortable. Not sure what's changed, new management? Hopefully they are able to turn things around. Not sure if we will be back.

We were on vacation for my husband's 50th birthday with our four children along the coast of California. One of our stops was at the Comfort Inn Redwood Country - Fortuna. We chose the hotel as it had a swimming pool and hot tub for our children and booked a large suite with a king and 2 queens that offered free cancellation until 16:00 the day before arrival. When we arrived in the late afternoon my husband checked in, his credit card processed, and as he was handed the room key, he was told the pool was not working. There were two men who appeared to be with maintenance and they were overheard making a joke that he’d fix the pool when he got around to it. My husband replied to the front desk clerk that it was really unfortunate as the kids had been waiting all day for the pool. When he returned to the car and relayed the information to the family, the kids were understandably upset. We went back into the lobby to ask to check out as we really needed a place with a pool. They said we could leave but we would be charged the full rate for the room. Even though we hadn’t even stepped into the room, it was past their cancellation deadline. When I asked to speak to the manager the maintenance guy came over! Apparently they are one and the same at this property. He had no compassion and came across smug and righteous as he said there were no refunds because my husband was told at check in about the pool. So “too bad”. His words. I begged him to reconsider and he offered a discount of 50%. That wasn’t good enough for us…they weren’t delivering what we had purchased…a pool! We hadn’t even stepped into the room, their website was still advertising a pool (incredibly as I write this two weeks later, their website still doesn’t reflect the out of service pool), and we were never informed of the pool being out of service before the cancellation deadline. We left with a van full of upset kids and a feeling we’d been robbed. We contacted Choice Hotels that night to ask for them to reverse the hold on the credit card. After hearing our story they said they would and it would take place within 30 days. They also offered us a Disney World stay at one of their resorts (one of those things you have to go and listen to their time share presentation) so my husband purchased it for $299 that night. We thought everything was fine, and felt good about the hotel chain we were loyal to and my husband used for work. But a week later, the charge finalized on the credit card. When my husband called Choice back to let them know it was no longer a hold but an actual charge, they informed us they had decided to side with the manager and not refund our $190. Needless to say my husband cancelled the Disney World thing right away and we will be switching hotel brands going forward. This whole thing was incredibly poor customer service. It makes me sick to think they are stealing from families who work hard to give their families a nice vacation. Be careful if you book here. Yo

Very clean and quiet hotel located half way between Eureka and the Avenue of the Giants. The staff were very polite and gave us suggestions on where to eat out for dinner. The morning breakfast was fantastic.
