"I would like to highlight an exceptional customer service and a great work of the hotel staff. We arrived at the first noght of heal wave. It was really hot in the room. It was a late evening already and we contacted the hotel staff. They did everything to make us comfortable, they offered to move to another room, offered three additional vents… they were really trying to help us. I really appreciate that help and I always really appreciate when the staff really care. And they do care. That’s why I am giving 5 stars. The building is old overall, windows are small, no views. But everything is very clean and well maintained. The 2 bedroom room was spacious. So I recommend this place, and really appreciate their exceptional customer service and friendliness."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Huntington Beach

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly period to visit Huntington Beach is in January, November, and December when hotel rates tend to be lower. To fully appreciate the key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural offerings, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can enjoy the stunning beach, indulge in surfing, partake in birdwatching, explore shopping opportunities, savour delightful dining experiences, embark on excursions, witness breathtaking sunsets, engage in sports, and take leisurely walks along the scenic coastline. This approach offers great value for money, making it an ideal choice for travellers on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Huntington Beach, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates close to your departure date. To stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com. Additionally, utilise Smart Shopping , a comparison tool available via the app, which helps travellers compare hotel prices and amenities. By doing so, you're more likely to see when room availability changes or prices drop, allowing you to secure a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you find a better deal on your stay at a hotel in Huntington Beach. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and sometimes a more attractive value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is relatively high, we can suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, aiding you in your search for a great value.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, with Huntington Beach's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well linked.
