Visit a famous wildlife refuge, lush redwoods, and a lively town square in ecology-minded Arcata, California. Nestled between scenic Humboldt Bay and forested hills, our diverse university town is a popular destination for visitors to the north coast.  

The heart of our community is the Plaza, lined with boutiques, eateries, nightlife venues, and the location of community events including Saturday Farmers Market, Arts Alive, Oyster Festival, Kinetic Sculpture Race, Pastels On The Plaza, and the North Country Fair.

For visitors who wish to lodge in the heart of town or near Humboldt State University, ARCATA STAY provides a central reservation service for accommodations which are unique, attractively furnished, and which provide thoughtful amenities. 

Presently ARCATA STAY offers accommodations on the Plaza or nearby in quiet residential neighborhoods.  All are within walking distance to Humboldt State University.
