Excellent, friendly and personalized service any time of the day. Great location with a view of the ocean from the large patio. Competitive prices. Each room is decorated differently. Shops and restaurants with-in walking distance. This is my go-to place every time I visit the area.

The one thing to know is this is an older property. It has the feel of a retro 60s hotel room, and is a little worn. That said, you are right across from the beach, the rooms are very clean, and there is a nice deck that overlooks the ocean. A parking spot is included, which is a big plus.... More

We have stayed several times. They managers treat you like your the only guests around. It is in the very best location. Right across the street from the pier, the view is incredible. Restaurants close, clean, excellent patio. We will not stay anywhere else!

The location of this inn was 100% walkable to everything downtown: including restaurants, market, and beach. The room was very up to date, super clean (my husband is a hospital admin over housekeeping and is picky - he says this place is CLEAN!!). Only advice is to not expect a microwave or ice machine. The fridges are great. The 7-Eleven... More

Excellent location, easy walking distance to Huntington Beach pier, downtown area, and there's not many hotels that close. Downside, place was poorly maintained, for the price we paid, wouldn't stay there again. People who worked there and cleaned the place seemed nice enough and probably did a good job. I got the sense they tried to clean it well, but... More

As is the case with locations so near to the ocean and the beach, maintenance to give you the best possible values for your stay is a year round affair. For example,... More

Great room and location! Loved the patio overlooking the beach and the location of the hotel to the beach and downtown area. Room was beautifully decorated. Front desk greeter was so crabby and unwelcoming. Not a good feeling when you first check in or check out. I have worked in hospitality -specifically front desk- for 5 years and I was... More
