Best Western Surf City

Four days on Beach Blv. a short drive to the pier was awesome. Hotel location was perfect as well as the service. A nice walk up Beach to Hertz was perfect. They call it winter but for me 70 and empty beaches is my kind of winter! Kicking around on the beach and waiting on the sunset is good medicine! I will plan this winter trip every year going forward. The front desk friends will welcome me back again next year. less

My husband and I wanted a getaway and decided to go to Huntington Beach. The hotel we chose offered breakfast daily which was okay. The location was great close to the strip of restaurants of many choice. Hotel staff was friendly and accommodating when we had questions. Someone was bouncing a ball which we had to report and they called the people with the bouncing ball and it stopped. Would stay there again. Bed was comfortable as usually as in all best western hotels less

We booked this hotel for Jan. 15 - 18th, on Nov. 13. we paid for the reservation then. On jan. 15th we flew 1,600 miles to HB, arriving at the hotel around 7:30 pm and the smug desk clerk tells me that I had cancelled the reservation. I was not happy. We called Expedia, they said the reservation was still valid. Fortunately Expedia was able to find us a hotel up the street as BW was full. I don't know why they lied to us, we have been staying there for 18 years. We are unable to get this resolved. less

The exterior of this property had me worried, it looks a bit dated. Pleasant surprise to see the rooms were very clean and nicely updated. Beds were very comfortable, nice linens, thick fluffy towels. Fridge and microwave. Hotel does have exterior coridor, so even though screened Windows open, you might leave them closed for privacy. Nice pool and hot tub,but you have to walk across the parking lot to get to it, and no afternoon sun by the pool, the building shades it. Breakfast was good, eggs were real eggs, not powdered and better than average sausage. Good value, easy drive to the beach or pier. Ok noise level, could here a bit of laughter through the walls, and since all rooms face parking lot you do hear the people who don't know how to lock/unlock their cars without honking.I would definitely stay here again. less

I normally don't stay at Best Westerns, but this room was booked for me because of a work commitment. I was pleasantly surprised with my stay. The receptionist was very friendly and this three-story property had an elevator, even though it had outdoor hallways. The room was of typical size, but the bed was comfortable, the heat worked well and the the TV was decently-sized and had a lot of channels to choose from. The two big surprises for me were the wifi speed (80/80) and the quality of the towels. There's not a lot a hotel owner/manager can do about their physical location and massive upgrades to the rooms can be very costly. However, giving guests free & fast wifi is a relatively-easy and inexpensive option. Bath towels are a little more expensive and likely to "walk away" from the property more often, but a difference people notice. These were the best towels I've ever had anywhere. I liked them so much, I wanted to get the name so I could buy some, but they were private label. less
