Set right near Humboldt Redwoods State Park, you can hardly find a more beautiful place to stay. There are lots and lots of hikes in the redwood forests nearby. There's are also rivers, and even the sea is not far away.

The hiking trails in Humboldt park nearby, which is the reason to go to the Benbow Inn, are beautiful. There are easy, moderate, and hard trails, so there is something for everyone. The park is clean and there are many picnic areas. Be sure and stop by the Visitor Center to get a map and information about trail status before heading out. The town of Garberville near the Benbow Inn has a couple gas stations and cafes but unfortunately also has quite a few borderline looking bums hanging out (likely stoned). Although most are likely harmless, I would be hesitant to leave anything in my car to go eat or shop.

Garberville is a tiny little town close to the Avenue of the Giants which is what we came for. It has only a couple restaurants and a nice grocery store. Most folks are friendly, it was a little crowded due to the amount of construction workers staying in town that were working on nearby highway and road repair. I would love to go back to see the Redwoods and when I do I will stay here again.

Garberville is one of the larger small towns in the heart of redwood country along US-101. It makes for a convenient stopover while on a road trip but really nothing more than that. The town is way past its prime. We saw more transients walking the streets than locals or visitors during our overnight stay,

I would not recommend Garberville. Too many sketchy people around, making it uncomfortable to walk around. Everything closes up at night, so only options for food are the gas station convenience store. If it's the only option on your trip, the Best Western is pricey, but clean and safe.

I wouldn’t stay in Garberville again. The hotel was overpriced and the hotel clerk was impersonal and seemed to be incapable of doing her job properly. I could not understand what she was saying because she was behind some plexi glass and she was mumbling behind her mask. I kept asking her to speak up but she did not. She doesn’t seem to understand my request of splitting the bill between two credit cards. Checkout was a frustrating experience that wasted so much of Ike time - must have taken at least a half an hour! I’d never return to Garberville as there were too many businesses that were closed.
