The room was clean, bathroom seemed old, tiles were dirty on the wall. Basics were alright. The bed was too hard and lumpy in the pillow top. Pillows were too hard. Hard to open the curtain on the window due to a desk placed in front of it. I expected more from the restaurant. Would have like some variety for breakfast. We found a great place to go, would have preferred to eat there. All the dogs were the highlight. Didn’t get a chance to partake of the other guest amenities.

All the little extras that came with our stay really made our stay better. Nitro cold brew in the morning, happy hour and smores in the evening, then body boards and beach umbrellas to take with us to the beach, all made for a better stay than anticipated. Staff was super friendly as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Super convenient location especially with the US Surfing Open going on. Staff was very friendly and super helpful. The only negative was at first our room had an odor. I’m pretty sure that the people prior to us had a dog - the room smelled of deodorizing chemicals. Other than that, we were happy with the stay and will definitely be back.

I happened to see this property on Expedia and it was located exactly where my wife and I wanted to go for our 33rd anniversary. From the moment we arrived we were totally impressed with this [boutique] hotel. The layout, friendliness of the staff, great location to all things Huntington Beach, and the incredible ocean front room (417) added immensely to our anniversary getaway! This will now be our annual anniversary trip in August to get out of the Phoenix heat! Thanks to everyone there for making this a memorable trip!
