| All of the rooms are smoke-free and for non-smokers only. Each of the four bedrooms is filled with quiet, unpretentious luxury. Each immaculately clean room has been beautifully restored and tastefully decorated; its original elegance enhanced with the discreet addition of modern conveniences. (To keep you "plugged in" to the modern world, there is free WiFi internet access in all rooms.) All have period furnishings, queen-sized beds (with luxurious new Heirloom mattresses), a desk, a sitting area and a private bath. Most have views overlooking Eureka, Humboldt Bay, the Samoa Peninsula and in the distance, the Pacific Ocean. All are colored with history and famous personalities. (see PHOTO ALBUM for details).
Although noted for its outstanding quality, elegance, and highly personalized service, more than that, the ELEGANT VICTORIAN is a special place of warmth, good cheer and spirited camaraderie. More like a festive vacation with one's best friends, the Inn is a heaven for the visitor who is thought of as a guest - not a customer, a fellow traveler - not a tourist. Finding good spirit, good laughter, and good friends, is always a joy. See a SLIDE SHOW of the inn's interiors and exteriors. Included in your stay are complimentary bicycles, croquet, laundry service, and secured parking; with Ocean views, beaches, antique shops, Humboldt State University and Redwood National Park all nearby.
