From the idyllic Pacific coast to the mysterious redwood forests, this seemingly untouched location is one of a kind. Here are just a few highlights our unique location provides visitors and residents alike.
The Redwoods
We are privileged to share the earth with thousands of the tallest trees on the planet.

In addition to the natural beauty all around us, you’ll discover beauty in our unique and creative mural art. Inside and outside the hotel, you’ll spot hand-painted murals that offer insight into Humboldt County’s ancient redwood forests, lumber camps, and even the daily life of the Native American Weott tribe. Be sure to look for these precious works in the lobby, pool area, stairwells, and outside on the south side of the building.
