If you REALLY need a place across the street from the beach that won't cost you your firstborn, this place is ok. It's funky surf/skate vibe has appeal. The 2nd floor patio is nice at night. Other than that, the rooms are run down, carpet around window AC unit was wet (and stained all over) holes in wall from towel bar falling out, hinge on door still broken so you have to finagle the door to close it, no coffee maker (can walk 1 block to get coffee). It served it's purpose for our needs for 1 night, but wouldn't want to stay longer unless I was a young person who just wants to surf and doesn't care about much else.

The beach view is unobstructed from the shared deck, which is very accommodating with tables and chairs. The parking was easy and safe and everything is walking distance..it’s perfect for that.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing view and location to the beach and main street. Staff is nice. The room is very low quality. If your expectations are just a locking room, a raised platform to lay down and weak water pressure to rinse off. This is a great stay otherwise the room will leave you wanting more. Very dimly lit. They also had 2 lamps in the room and one didn't work. The light against the wall above the poster didn't work. The wall paper is peeling off the wall in places. The toilet took 20 minutes of running to fill up and stop. The bed had some support nailed together and placed under neath but only supported one side the other side didn't touch. Beds were stiff. Parking underneath the building in-between big pillars can be difficult.
