The perfect location when visiting Huntington Beach, right across the street from the beach and the pier with great amenities. Conveniently located near all the shops and restaurants making walking a breeze. We loved the social hour and the s’mores at night. The place is decorated beautifully with a coastal surfer feel that really encompasses the area. And the fact that they are pet friendly was even more of a plus. We had one issue with our room and with no hesitation at all the staff moved us promptly. Absolutely loved our stay and wish we were here longer to enjoy it more! Can’t wait to go back

Great hotel if you want to be close the beach for surfing, I wouldn’t call it a resort bc it doesn’t have a pool, a jacuzzi, or golf etc. staff if great, they should put coffee maker in the room, for the amount we get charged it shouldn’t made us walk to the main floor to get coffee. The should reconsider that. Since the charge a daily resort fee, thats the norm in most resort hotels

We had an amazing time and I would honestly say it is due to the hotel being in the. perfect location, which made everything more easier for us to have a better time . My only complaint would be parking you were to think that they would validate parking because they're charging for resort fees, but unfortunately you do have to pay an overnight charge of $40.

The convenient location is what initially drew us to this property. But what really blew us away was the attention to detail, the helpful staff, and the many amenities. It is also kid and pet friendly. We loved all the fun and beautiful decor. Favorites were: garden patio with fire pits for roasting marshmallows, ping pong, vintage music & record players, happy hour with plenty of non-alcoholic options, flavored self-serve water all day, and borrowing (not renting!) bikes, scooters, towels, beach chairs, & beach toys. We didn’t use the gym but would like to next time as that has just as much thought and effort put into the experience as everything else. We can’t wait to come back!

Staff were kind and attentive to every need we had. That atmosphere was energetic and fun. We loved being able to choose from a variety of records to play in our room. We also loved the social hour and s’more roasting around the fire pits. We will definitely be returning!
