Join Us and Vote Larry Doss for County Supervisor

Please Support Trinidad Small Business

Our still recovering B&B Hotel, and all of the small Trinidad businesses and people we support, need a practical, proven, business-minded County Supervisor to help. 

During the pandemic, silly Steve Madrone joined scared Trinidad city councilmen and promoted covid fear and political-science over facts and proven business safety measures. 

Please Vote Larry Doss!

Vote Doss for Supervisor 5th District — Larry has endorsements from three of the five current Supervisors along with former 5th District Supervisors, Ryan Sundberg, and Anna Sparks. Current Sheriff, William Honsal and former Sheriff, Mike Downey also endorse Larry, along with Arcata Professional Firefighters Local 4981 and CalFire Local 2881. 

Hundreds of residents across the 5th District & Humboldt County California support Larry Doss, please join us!

Guest Hotel Tax (T.O.T) Increases — Decrease 

Round 2:  March 31, 2022 (updated 4/2022) 

We sent a letter requesting the City immediately cease collecting at 10% and that they send a letter. Guess what? Next day, when we filed and paid our guest’ first quarter taxes ( at 8% ), we found out the City of Trinidad California stopped collecting its 2nd UNCONSTITUTIONALLY increased hotel tax! 

12% then 10% now 8% — Why? 

The City has reverted to requiring we charge, collect and pay them our guest’ tax for guest’ stays at 8% — Wonder why?

Similar to our City short-term rental businesses, we are required to account for, charge, collect and pay the City under penalty of fine and late fees. But the City of Trinidad now, 

“…at this time intends to collect the T.O.T. at the previous rate of 8% set by Resolution 93-4 in 1993.  Therefore, from and after January 1, 2022 until further notice to operators, the T.O.T rate will be 8%.”

Refunding Already Paid T.O.T.

The City has not addressed refunding the tens of thousands of dollars in hotel tax it has already been paid. 

The City made no mention of receiving our request to add it up and come up with a plan to address its mistakes. We will be pressing this issue at the April 12, 2022 City Council Meeting — Public still has to “call-in” because our City is still using coronavirus excuses to not hold Public Meetings in Town Hall 

We are standing up to the City and supporting all of our Trinidad California lodging businesses. And to those who made it through the 6 months of City STR Moratorium closures in 2020, glad you made it! 

“We are still with you.” 🙏🏻

Trinidad Bay B&B Hotel

This crisis has sharpened our focus to what is truly special about staying with us. We're friendly everyday people hosting guests in our home and offering an unique experience of the town we love—Trinidad, California.

Guest experiences will always be part of our story. Stays live on past departures, and we're honored being part of their magic. It's this magic that so moved many of us—transformed us from visitors into lifelong friends and residents of Trinidad.

Welcome Guests ❤️

Open with Covid-19 modifications. 

What happened?

We took precautions early on, at the start of the Covid-19 crisis. While we were able to stay open throughout the crisis, we were arbitrarily restricted to who we could host. Early emergency orders caused unprecedented cancellations, financial upheaval, and consequently, have put our livelihood and living here at risk.

What now?

To more safely operate and begin hosting out of area visitors again, we've adopted updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.*

We are cleaning and disinfecting based on recommendations from the CDC. We screen and help reschedule people who are sick. We recommend people at higher risk not travel until it's safer for them as described in CDC guidelines.*

With enhanced cleaning, screening, and minimizing person-to-person contact, we are confidently ready to be fully open and hosting again.

What next?

As the Covid-19 situation evolves, we will continue to closely monitor and adjust to it. As always, we will happily consider input from our community.

With our personal and business health and safety addressed, we must also continue to assist our community. As we do for our Guests, we will assist Trinidad visitors in making their visit safe and wonderful.

Health and safety is now foremost in our minds, and we ask our community for their continued support—for us and for our business, and for all people visiting Trinidad.
