The Best Western hotel in Crescent City has a beautiful location along US 101, the aptly named Redwood Highway, right opposite the marina, with views out over the Pacific Ocean and one block south of Elk Valley Road which leads to a section of the Redwood National and State Parks after 5 miles (beyond the junction with US 199). The town center is a mile north, and here are found all necessary facilities, shops and restaurants, though the hotel has on-site dining at the Northlands Restaurant & Lounge, including free full breakfast. Other facilities are a spa, indoor pool, exercise room, picnic area and guest laundry. The hotel is a pleasant white-walled building of 89 rooms, occupying a spacious site in a countryside setting.

Comfort Inn Redwood Coast is on the south side of Crescent City just off highway 101, next to the marina and with only a field between the hotel and the Pacific Ocean. A beach, the harbor, several shops and two restaurants are a short walk away. The hotel has 2 floors and 46 rooms, some with refrigerator & microwave; all have ironing facilities, coffee maker and cable TV. Free breakfast is served (continental).

Half a mile north of downtown Crescent City, the Econo Lodge motel is located along highway 101, opposite the main shopping center, adjacent to one restaurant and close to several others. This is a 52 room, 1 floor property offering free continental breakfast, sauna, guest laundry and some rooms with microwave & refrigerator. Some rooms have views eastwards over the wooded hills at the edge of the Jeddiah Smith Redwoods State Park.
