Our new home when visiting Huntington Beach!
Pros:

It was perfect for a beach vacation, they have everything you need for a relaxing beach day! They also have random treats like drink stations, stuff for s’mores, and a coffee bar in the mornings! The hotel itself was such a cool place to hang out at.

This is the best located accommodation in Huntington Beach. One block to all amenities and over the road from the pier. Every day there is a free happy hour of various wines and cocktails which makes the outdoor courtyard setting feel like a club

Cons:

It's fairly expensive
