Great breakfast, great bartender and staff. Rooms aren’t fancy, but it’s a bed and breakfast type place. The charm is worth it as are the people. They hire well!

It’s the second time I’ve stayed at the Carter House Inn. We were able to check in early as we had a celebration of life to attend for a family member. Rebecca, the front desk staff was accommodating and very pleasant. The breakfast was excellent! I highly recommend this place!

We had an amazing time at the Carter House! The room was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was great! My wife became ill at the end of the trip, and the staff was amazing and caring towards her, helping her to be comfortable until we could travel again. Awesome inn and staff, I can't recommend highly enough!

I stayed 2 nights - a week apart to and from the Bay Area. I've just sent an email asking what brand mattress the hotel uses because I didn't have back pain either morning! It was amazing!
The ambiance of the hotel is always lovely. I appreciate the complimentary glass of wine in the evening, and although I wasn't able to stay for the sit-down breakfast this time, I love that apples and beverages are always available.
Looking forward to my next trip to Eureka! I always stay at Carter House. <3 <3 <3
