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

Dear palmeirense, Thank you for your kind patronage of our little surf inn. Your comments certainly give us pause for reflections on how to serve our customers best. 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

We stayed for one night at this great place. We booked last minute on a side trip to take a break from the Disneyland portion of our trip and wanted to visit Huntington Beach. We were so impressed with the simplicity of the Inn. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 2 beds, bathroom, nice decor. A... More

Stayed here in February and loved it. Stayed in room 5 ( with the big wave on the wall) Comfortable bed, pillows and plenty of towels. Julie and James were extremely lovely and so helpful with any requests we had. We rented bikes for the day and they even offered to lock them in their garage for extra safety. We... More

Dear bectrip, Thank you very much for your kind review. Indeed the strength of any lodging is its staff, and certainly James and Julia have always tried so hard to impart that feeling of family toward our guests. As you noticed, the beach and Pacific Coast Highway can be lively. We applaud your graciousness in celebrating our location and working... More

Pros: The location is great, right on Pacific Coast Highway, directly across the street from the beach and only a few blocks from Main St and all the action of downtown Huntington Beach. The price is good for the location. Most beachfront hotel/motels charge a lot more. I took the advice of some of the other people who posted comments,... More

Right on Pacific Coast Highway. Clean, plenty of space and friendly hosts. Was recommended it by a colleague who stayed at Huntington Surf Inn on our previous trip to Huntington Beach. After my stay I would recommend it to travellers looking for the relaxed feel and not wanting the formal hotel experience.
