“Good Beach Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

I stayed here in early January. The Hotel is in a great location, right across a busy road from Huntington Beach. Great views and you can see surfers. You are about a 5-10 min walk to main street where there are lots of shops, bars, etc.

PROS:
Rooms were decent size and bed was very comfortable. The room even had little motion sensor lights on the floor under the nightstand so that if you got out of bed in the middle of the night the light turned on when your feet hit the floor. I've never seen this before and thought it was pretty cool. The food was all good and the staff was all polite. Didn't have the opportunity to use the pool - it was kind of cool out- but I dipped my hand in and the temp was great - heated.

CONS
Bathroom was a tad small- not a super huge deal - but if I was traveling with someone it may be difficult to both get ready at the same time. There is no free wireless or wired internet. I paid for access - and it was crazy slow. Very disappointed that I spent the money on it. To me, it seems pretty cheap for any hotel to not offer free internet in this day and age.

Overall this is a nice hotel in a great location. I'd stay here again.

“Convenient, unpretentious, great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

Good ocean views, Comfortable rooms although mine smelled a little musty and damp but cleared up when the A/C had run for a while. The staff went out of the way to accommodate requests - even went downtown to purchase a universal plug adaptor as the front desk didn't have one to lend. As in many similar US properties the bathrooms are a true disappointment, with shower-curtained midget sized tub squeezed into a tiny space - honestly motel-ish and a disincentive for me in future.

“Great beach location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

This hotel is spot on the water and in a fantanstic location if you want to be near the water. If you have business in So Cal or in Orange county you need to remember that you are at least 10-15 minutes from the 405 so keep that in mind. The hotel is also in walking distance to great shopping in restaurants beach side.

Room Tip: Just keep in mind you are 10-15 minutes from the interstate and a good 25 from John Wayne airport

“Nice ocean views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This is a full service Hilton across the street from the beach..most rooms have ocean views from the patios. The location is perfect for going anyplace in the Huntington Beach area. Rooms are well sized and the valet team, as well as the rest of the staff, is very pleasant and eager to help.

Very good restaurants nearby on the HB Pier as well as the usual tourist shops.

Room Tip: Ask at the front desk for ocean view.

We spent 7 nights here in Huntington Beach for a wedding, and had a great time.
The rooms are very spacious and well appointed with coffee making machine and
fridge.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.
