In a very modest area, there is this old motel run by very friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable. The room is pristine clean. We got lots of information about the area from the proprietor, which led us to venture successfully into parts we never even knew about. A wonderful find and a surprisingly successful day.

Rolled into town tired, hungry without a reservation to this great little motel. Dave was over the moon in quickly getting me set up with a room, #12. What others said from 3-4 years ago is still true; Bed had red linen that was 3-400 count, mattress was as comfortable as my own at home. It was spotless in every... More

The Humboldt Gables Motel is quiet and well-equiped. It has a friendly manager that gave us a recommendation for a great pizza place down the road. Our room was clean (a little tidy between the mattress and headbord wouldn't go amiss though) and had sweet touches like Hersey kisses on the pillow.

If you've read the reviews of this motel you'll see 3 trip advisor members have returned to stay. Now it's 4. Reason: Consistent! The photo online is an honest depiction - no phony come-on glamour shots. Two retired ladies we wanted to spend 2 days hiking in the redwoods, 4-5 small hikes/day. This motel fit our needs, 3 miles north... More

I reserved two nights by phone on the morning of my arrival. Being a weekend and with accomodations limited in this area, I accepted the rate of $105 for the first night and $95 for the second night. This included taxes. He offered me a rate of $50 if I decided to stay a third day. But, since I did... More

This hotel may be a little weathered, but it is a good find for the money and location. This hotel was half the price of most in the area on fourth of July weekend, It is just a short drive to the Ave of the Giants, Redwoods. The beds were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of... More

This is a quiet mom and pop type motel that is about two blocks off the busy Highway 101 between Fortuna and Garberville. Older motel but they have tried to provide for your needs. Small refrig and M/w are in room along with coffeemaker and hair dryer. Towels were thick and plush. Walls are thin and noise does carry from... More

The manager was nice enough. The room was close to a unit used as a residence, which made it somewhat noisy, more so because of the July 4th weekend. The bathroom window looked out to the neighbor's swing set. The bed was comfortable but the room was dark and rather dingy but not dirty. Just old. Needs quite a bit... More

I was impressed with the owner's no nonsense approach from my first call. Knowing that I was staying at a property that didn't tolerate loud or idiotic behavior was a relief to say the least. Typically when I tour on my motorcycle I stay at motels that are not the places I'd stay while on business or with my wife.... More

Not too bad a little hotel. Walls were pretty thin, we could hear people in the next room but when it was time to sleep everyone was quiet. I would recommend talking to the lady running the miniture golf and convenience store. She was more freindly and had more information than the visitor center. The room was kinda small, but... More
