This hotel was very fun and it is located right across the street from the beach and the Huntington Pier. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the s’mores and social hour made our evening start off in a really fun way.

We love the experience. We have been there many times and love the water. We hosted cocktail hours there for many years when we lived and worked locally. The only issue we had this visit was the food. We felt the food was marginal. The service was great as usual and overall had a good visit.

Amazing facilities. Not so good food at the restaurant. Breakfast was fine. Salads were inedible. Staff were very helpful. Lovely golf course. Golf staff seemed indifferent.
