Comfort Inn Humboldt Bay is a two-star Choice Hotels property at 4260 Broadway St, Eureka, CA 95503, on the U.S. Route 101 corridor in south Eureka near the shore of Humboldt Bay. Travelers book it for practical value: a free hot breakfast buffet, an indoor pool, free WiFi and on-site parking, all on the main highway route through Redwood Coast country.
What to Expect at Comfort Inn Humboldt Bay
Rooms are modest and functional. Most have one king or two queen beds, a work desk, a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker and climate control, which suits road-trippers driving the 101 between the Bay Area and Oregon. The hotel is built in a standard motor-inn style, so guests can drive close to their rooms and unload easily.
The indoor pool is the main draw for families, because Eureka’s cool, foggy coastal weather rarely suits outdoor swimming. Business travelers can work on the free WiFi, and the Broadway location gives quick access to south Eureka’s shops and restaurants.
- Hot Breakfast Buffet: A complimentary morning spread that typically includes eggs, meat, waffles, cereal, fruit and coffee.
- Indoor Pool: A heated, weather-proof pool for swimming year-round.
- Free WiFi: Included throughout the property for remote work and trip planning.
- Free Parking: Surface parking on site, with room for cars and many trailers.
- Highway Access: Direct frontage on Broadway (US-101) for quick starts toward Redwood National and State Parks.
