Even though they are renovating their lobby it was quiet and not disruptive for our stay. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Liked that there were tables, chairs, and umbrellas on the patio by the pool, and there were lifts for both the pool and hot tub. Great property!

Does the job and didn’t expect it to be 3-5 star. Check in guy was super friendly and the pool/hot tub appeared clean. No towels in room, only about 6 channels that half of them were some sort of bad M-TV knockoff videos, and the people upstairs you could hear every step. If you’re looking to save money and be close to Huntington Beach to sleep only it works.

Shocked this is a Best Western. Shabby motel at best. Staff friendly and helpful - but arrived only to find out that elevators out of service and lots of construction at property. Construction workers everywhere and despite attempts to upgrade/renovate rooms - still very tired and musty smell in rooms. Should have offered a reduction in room rate given the construction inconveniences. Whole areas re-cemented and closed off. Not my cup of tea when hauling heavy luggage up stairways. Will not return.

Very dirty floors that made all of my family’s feet black. Had to wear shoes the whole time In the room. T bathtub/shower drain was clogged and the front desk guy gave me the toilet plunger and said I needed to unclog it myself instead of having someone on staff do it. The TV turned on but none of the channels worked. Neither person at the front desk staff seemed to care about any of this too much.

This property was nothing like the pictures that were shown. The bathroom was filled with a rust like substance all over the floors corners and shower corners. It was extremely dirty and so expensive for less the. a 12 hour stay. Also if a hotel/motel is being renovated that should be included in letting the customer know. I would have never paid over $200 for that.

The staff was extremely friendly. The room was clean and updated. The towels looked a little old, but they looked clean. The shower was horrible. It felt like we were showering with just a little spray of water or a mist. While in the shower the lights were blinking and the shower temperature was getting cold. So it seems like there are some problems with electrical maybe. The pillows were very uncomfortable. Breakfast was ok, they did not have decaf coffee or peanut butter for the toast. Other than that, the location was excellent and everything else was nice.

Both my wife and I enjoyed our short 1 night stay at this hotel. We always enjoy taking advantage of breakfast at the hotel. Other reviews talk about noisy heater or air conditioners, however ours was fine and I always have some earplugs just in case. The shower was a little disappointing due to starts hot and gets cold in a short time. We were on the 3rd floor. The staff was courteous- front desk, dining room, and the housekeepers. Will recommend.

Need better shower heads. The hot water system in the shower went from nice and hot to "ICE COLD" abruptly without notice....and stayed cold for several minutes. In addition to the exhaust fan in the bathroom, it could use just a light without the exhaust fan...which sounds like a jet engine :-)

We prepaid for our room, we arrived at 1:45 and we were told we could not check in untill 3:00 so we left to do some sightseeing and returned around 7:30 the person at the front desks was rude he said ill have to see if we have a room for you, you should have been here at 3:00 i also have a service dog and he informed me that they are not pet friendly. And if the service dog gets on the bed its a $100.00 fine. My dad has a mobility problem and PTSD the night person needs to find a new job?
