This was such a pretty, clean, great location hotel! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night, but it was perfect for all of our needs. I would highly recommend this hotel!

    “Everything! The location was excellent, the pools were great, (with the exception that I wish the Cabo Wabo bar was at the more adult friendly pool than the kid friendly pool). The staff was more than awesome. The ladies at the spa were very pleasant. I would like to give a special shout out to the valet team as one of the most accommodating bunch I have ever had at a resort. I cannot say enough to express the great experience we had at the Waterfront. Will definitely be looking for a reason to return for another stay!”

    “Upon checking in I was greeted with a qlass of Champaign. The service was excellent I spent the day at the pool which was great I was in the dolphin tower which was close enough to dining and the pool. The hotel staff was always friendly and very accommodating. I will be staying again and will definitely recommend.”

    “Upon checking in, we were greeted with champagne glasses while entering the lobby. Unfortunately, we declined because our little one wanted one, too. Maybe also offer mocktail versions for kids in the future? Just a thought. Otherwise, our stay was truly lovely. The ocean views from our suite were beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. The dining options, both casual and formal, were plentiful. The Huntington Beach area was very walkable to local shops and restaurants, too. Would definitely stay here again.”

  • Huntington Tower disappoints

    6/10

    “The Oceanfront studio suite we had in the Huntington tower was a huge disappointment. The furniture was old and dirty, the ceramic floor was chipped , the outlets couldnt support charging phones and computers. when we complained we were told an upgrade would require double our room rate, which was already high for what it was. and the front desk manager was very nice and in spite of trying told us that was nothing else without a huge fee t and if we changed the next day we would have to move out at 11 and not be able to check into a new room until 4 The dining chairs were heavy and every time they were moved in the room above us it sounded like chalk on a blackboard. A simple area rug could ahave solved the problem We also found out If you are on 4 or below where the rooms were renovated you lose the Oceanfront view None of this was clear to us on the website and I did call th hotel about room guidance which was also misleading The toilet seat was way too low which may sound like a strange comment but at 5ft 2 my knees hit my ilap when seated., My shoutout goes to Tatum .On checkout she asked how the stay was and I told her my honest assessment whereupon she dedutced $100 from the bill. That does not compensate however it was a very nice gesture. I had our room and had another family member in a regular renovated room which was actually nicer than our room, apart form size.”
