There aren't that many hotel options in the Eureka area and the Holiday Inn stands out as the best. A fairly new build, it's a very modern, comfortable hotel, offering everything you'd expect from the Holiday Inn brand, but it knows it's the best you can get and thus it charges way over the odds. The property sits in a very non descript part of the town, away from Old Town and nowhere near any of the beaches or places of interest. It's surrounded by, er, nothing. There's just one access point to the compound, to the right side of the property. You cannot enter from either the left or the front. There's ample parking available. Security is good and you need your key to enter the property. The lobby and communal areas are very modern, well designed and very comfortable. There's a small indoor pool and a work out room, both of which are well maintained. Rooms are pretty large, with very large bathrooms. Some of the rooms are suites. There's no sitting area in the basic rooms, but there is a desk and desk chair. Wifi is free and reliable, but not the top speed. Rooms come with a fridge, microwave, flat screen TV, iron and ironing board. There's good closet space. Heating works well and the beds are comfortable with clean, fresh linens. However, currently (February 2022) there is no maid service unless requested. Even when you put in a request, they don't service the room. So the trash isn't emptied and the beds never made. Bathrooms are very large and come with a shower/tub combo. The water pressure in the shower and basin are good. There are the usual HIE amenities in containers locked to the wall, but with no house keeping, when they run out, you have to request refills. Breakfast is included and is the standard HIE fare, but there is some minor variation from day to day, which is appreciated. One day, there was no fresh fruit, but this was unique. Most days there are bananas and oranges. Coffee and tea are available 24/7 in the lobby. The price is way over what this property is worth. I've stayed in many HIE properties in far more popular, dynamic locations and paid 1/3 to 1/2 less than this hotel is charging. Perhaps it's the pool. Regardless, although it's high standard and a good experience generally, I'm not sure it's worth the rate for what you get. As there are so few options in Eureka, the HIE knows they've got a captive audience and thus charges accordingly.
