“Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

Only one issue - getting ice from the 7-11 is an unnecessary pain. Easy walking distance to the beaches and the main drag. Breakfast at the Sugar Shack is a must. All day bike rental for $10 is a good deal.

Room Tip: Room 1 is on the Pacific Coast Highway. Avoid if you don't like car noise at all hours

Dear Rboedecker,

Thank you for your patronage of the Inn. Your comments are indeed insightful and will be of help for our other guests.
Because of our very small size, the ice machine was a casualty of space and the desire to keep noises down at night. For your convenience, we included a refrigerator with icemaking ability in each room, and the 7-11 a few steps away from our property hopefully can provide guests with more choices at all hours of the day.
The Sugar Shack has indeed been very popular with our guests, and bike rental is among the most inquired activities as well because our central location really made car driving unnecessary if you want to explore the local areas.
Once again, we thank you and look forward to another opportunity to serve you soon.

“Location, location, location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 24, 2012 via mobile

The best feature about this inn is that everything is within walking distance. We did not use the car the entire time. Julie was very nice and helpful. The good reviews for this inn are legit. For the price it is a great deal. The only negative is that they don't allow pets. We will definitely stay here again.

“Great location & owners!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

We stayed here the first weekend of the US Open of Surfing. We could not have picked a better location. We were within walking distance of everywhere we went, including the beach and pier. Having the mini-fridge in the room turned out to be really nice for us since we ended up having some leftovers from lunch/dinner, and also kept our 6packs cold which we enjoyed on the hotel patio!

It was a little more than we wanted to spend, but we do understand all hotels with this location raise their rates for special weekends like the US Open. We will definitely stay here again and recommend this to any couple looking for a weekend getaway.

Room Tip: We have only stayed in room 5, and we enjoyed it. If there is any noise outside from any others stay...

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2012

The hotel is close to beach and also a walking distance to downtown, so the location is perfect. Rooms have different theme to them, so we liked it and they are clean. The manager and his wife always were available for questions and if we needed an opinion of what places we should see.

We really enjoyed the stay at the hotel.

“Great Inn Prime Location on PCH”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2012

I don't normally feel compelled to share my experiences with others but my recent stay was such a great experience. I had been promising my girls a nice relaxing weekend at the beach and did this place deliver! From the moment we arrived, the managers Julie & James made us feel so welcome. Whether it was retrieving my daughters earring out of the shower drain ( James to the rescue ) to making sure we were comfortable, I just cannot say enough about them.
I awoke to the patio with a beautiful view of the beach. I stayed in room 2, which was more than enough room for my daughters and I. Nothing fancy but very pleasant and with that down home feel. The location is prime close walking distance to the pier and Main St. This inn is certainly not the Hilton Waterfront down the street, but much more. Anyone who stays here will not be dissapointed. I live about an hours drive and would consider this the perfect little inexpensive getaway. Thank you Julie and James for the relaxing weekend! I will be back soon!

Dear Mlsalas,

You have done it! Our response to your kind words is simply "WOW!"

Easily the best thing about running the Huntington Surf Inn as a micro property amongst the hotelier giants in Huntington Beach is the interaction with guests like you. We pledge to stay true to this spirit of hospitality and help all of our guests have an affordable, relaxing, and comfortable experience. We all deserve a little kindness, and you have indeed made us feel special!

Thank you and hope to see you very soon.
