1 /5 swingyoucats: It presents as a mansion, but its more like a haunted house.
We booked a queen room that looked pleasant enough online, but when we arrived, we were shown to the Victorian house. Entry to the room required a substantial flight of stairs to enter the building and an even longer one -- with a railing only attached for one-half of its length -- down. The space was large, apparently the whole floor, but it felt like a windowless dark basement. What windows there were, were placed near the ceiling, and they were small. The bathroom needed repair -- a stained sink, a cold water faucet that howled when turned on, a sink and toilet only tentatively fastened to their foundations.
For the detail-conscious, our four-night stay amounted to $1035.
We were offered a "complimentary" breakfast which was a meager portion; oh, we could have had a larger selection, but that would have been $25 per person. Our host was superficially gracious but my conversations with him felt as if he was counting pennies while he spoke. Three staff members distinguished themselves by their warmth: Sarah, Rebekah, and Jamie, but unless you are a deep fan of THE ADDAMS FAMILY, I would recommend visitors to Eureka stay elsewhere. Even an anonymous chain motel would be more satisfying, because it doesnt pretend to a grandeur that it cannot or will not deliver.
