Extended Stay America Suites - Orange County - Huntington Beach
3.4/597 Reviews
As I pulled up to the hotel, two police cruisers were departing. I found out why as I walked down the second floor hallway, skirting the possessions of a freshly evicted patron who was still arguing with a manager. When I got to the room, there was glitter in the carpet and bathroom (along with one long hair on the wall of the shower) and a couple of bobby pins on the floor. In general, the feel of living in an apartment in a poorer part of town persisted the two weeks I was down burying my father and trying to get things organized for my family. The stairwells smelled of cigarette smoke and a screaming baby or barking dogs could often be heard through the walls. If I used the keyed stairwell doors, I was worried I’d have to confront an unsavory person who was trying to tailgate through them. Neither my rental car or room were broken into, thank goodness, but I did not feel particularly safe during my stay. I’d stayed there with my family about 10 years ago while visiting my father and it felt like a long term option for business travelers on contract at nearby aerospace companies. This time it felt more like a flophouse.
Best Western Surf City

There is nothing more like a best western than a best western ...so this is in its juice.The accommodation is correct and professional , the rooms are spacious , clean and the very comfortable litter , the deco is quite old . The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre and is located in the heart of the city centre. In the case of a night stay on a Road trip the hotel has done the job for a correct price.
Kimpton Shorebreak Resort
4.4/5101 Reviews
Helen Berkley went over and above our expectations during our stay. Thank you for making this another memorable experience. Special recognition to Halle and Cooper for making our stay comfortable. Stayed at Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach, CA for 1 night. 9/25/22 to 9/26/22. We received a complimentary room upgrade to a 1 King Suite Oceanfront View Room for being IHG Diamond Members. I love the soaking bathtub, possibly one of the largest tubs I've experienced. Room also has extra large shower area with his and her shower heads each side. Just wow! Resort Fee $40 including taxes on all stays (including reward stays) Many of us don't like to pay for resort fees for hotels with lackluster benefits they offer, but this is one of the few hotels I have ever stayed where the resort fee was actually worth it. Here's the list: free coffee in the morning from 6am to 9am, use of chairs, towels, and even boogie boards for the beach, free beer and wine from 5pm to 6pm, and all the S'Mores you can eat all evening until 10pm. Ping pong table and foosball table in the lobby. Great gym facility including rock climbing wall. For the past 2 years, I have stayed at this property three times and its one of my favorite hotels in the Kimpton Portfolio. Service 5 Stars++ Location 5 Stars++ Sleep Quality 5 Stars++ We will definitely be coming back year after year for many years to come!
Hotel Huntington Beach

Hotel location is very good, opposite the shopping center, there is Costco, wholesale price, there is whole food market, organic fruit and vegetable shop, there are various restaurants and bars, very convenient. There is a bus to the beach at the door of the hotel, and the shuttle bus is free on weekends.
SpringHill Suites Huntington Beach Orange County
4.3/598 Reviews
Overall, this is a good hotel to stay in for the area. It is not too close to the freeway or the busy street of Beach Blvd. It is upwind from the freeway and so you can breathe a little bit easier. Directly across the street is Whole Foods supermarket and Bella Terra, a shopping and dining complex which consists of California Pizza Kitchen, Cheese Cake Factory, Island Burgers, Jamba Juice, Somi Somi, Jamba Juice, and a whole bunch of stuff. There’s also REI if you need camping gear and a movie theater too. If you want Vietnamese noodle soup, there are two of the best noodle shops in Orange County within walking distance: they are Silk Noodle Bar (they make their noodles fresh and their filet mignon pho is out of this world. You can add other meats like meatballs to it if you want.) and Pho 101 (their sister restaurant Pho 79 won the James Beard Award recently. They have a good variety of things like the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli. You may have to wait in line for a bit on the weekends.) A 5 minute walk to Beach Boulevard will get you to the bus stop where for $2 (or $4 for an unlimited one day pass) can get you to the beach and Huntington Beach Pier. Back to the hotel, you can expect a fairly insulated wall, a robust air conditioning system, clean rooms and amenities (their is an exercise room where you can get your water bottle refilled). My room 220 has a broken faucet though. (I took .5 points off for this but gave them the benefit of the doubt and gave them 5 stars anyway because the staff, especially Nicolas and Anthony were great in helping to take care of it. These guys were genuinely concerned about my dilemma of waking at night to use the toilet and faucet and couldn’t shut the water off until I had to shut off the valve below the sink.) There is, however, a new trainee at the front desk during the week that I am here. She is the embodiment of the Wells Fargo perky but has no soul employee who unnecessarily tries to engage you in conversation by making and/or asking personal statements questions. I know she is new. All I have to say is for her to lower her voice a bit and imagine that she is checking in her aunts and uncles each time she relates to people at the front desk. The room layout is natural and convenient. The architect who drew this layout up is a genius. The a/c hums but not noisily. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom and toilet are clean. The second floor has an open terrace that you can sunbathe and play games. Overall, this is a good choice if you can afford this price range.
Huntington Beach Inn

Obviously right on the beach is always convenient, rooms were clean. Check in was quick and employee was very helpful. Parking below ground was nice. Some construction going on - they have notices posted. I wish they would transition back to a real breakfast - still only grab n’ go (granola bar, muffin and piece of fruit). My only real complaint that might keep me from staying again would be the noise - walls were pretty thin so could hear lots of outside noise as well as hallway noise which was a little annoying at night.
