It's an old-school motel with lots of character and charm. Its big advantage is the proximity to the beach. It's literally across the street -- and also walking distance to the downtown district of shops and restaurants.

Our family was so happy with our stay at Huntington Surf Inn. I called going for an early check-in and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and air conditioning worked well. This small hotel is right across the street from the beach, maybe a five minute walk to the water and less than 10 minutes to walk to the pier, shops, and restaurants. We are already planning a summer trip and plan to stay at this hotel again.

Disliked: Staff & service
They have a handicapped parking spot that blocks 2 other parking spots and makes it really difficult to pull in and out of the other three spots. And of course a huge SUV was parked in this handicapped spot making it very difficult to get in and out. The room was relatively clean. There were some large stains on the carpet. Everything seemed a little dusty. You can hear all the cars and motorcycles, driving down PCH.So, it makes it a little hard to sleep at night.

Room was cute and worked for our night stay. Beautiful view of the beach from the deck. Patio furniture could use a good cleaning. Did not have a top sheet on either bed, which was strange. And the parking is very tight. It’s in a very walkable location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was decent, especially for the location & the price but from the beginning, no one was even in the office to check us in. I had to call the emergency line to locate someone & then the person who finally came to the window looked like they just rolled out of bed & werent very friendly. The room is outdated & could’ve been a lot cleaner. They don’t even provide hand soap. The air conditioning unit kinda sucked so the room got warm often & given the fact that it’s right on the highway, it’s very loud at night so keep that in mind if you’re a light sleeper or have small kids. Wouldn’t recommend.

It’s essentially a basic hotel, but in an incredible location. We loved sitting on the little deck across from the water and walking on the sand every day. It’s very chill, no frills, but the shower is hot and parking is free. Bring ear plugs if you’re sensitive to freeway noise, and enjoy that beautiful beach and the walk to food and drinks and the pier.

We were in room 6 for 3 nights. Positives: great water pressure, great location, clean sheets. Negatives: the bathroom door was off its top hinges so had to be slammed both open and closed, which was so loud. It was also a bit grimy, something I’m not used to in other 2-star stays (lamps caked in dust, doors were dirty, lots of rust everywhere, floors felt dirty. They left the e end of a toilet paper roll with no refills, but no staff onsite other than the daytime. In the end, we felt like we overpaid compared to other hotels nearby. Disappointed is an understatement.
