We stayed here one night for our anniversary and here's what we thought... Location - excellent. Just off the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to all the cute bars, restaurants, and shops on Main Street in Huntington. Restaurants - there is a Cabo Wabo (which we tried and thought was grossly overpriced and not especially good), a little market with some cold snacks (you also get a $5 discount off $10 as part of your $35 resort fee), and Henry's which is a higher end restaurant that was not open for breakfast. Not a lot of choices so I recommend walking to Main and eating at the restaurants there. Longboards for breakfast is affordable and good. There's also a top floor bar with a nice patio and a limited menu with live music (best choice if you don't have kids). Parking - valet only. $50/night. They give you a card with a QR code to scan before you come down, but when I tried using it, I got a text back that they were too busy and I needed to come down anyway. When I got down there, there were only two people waiting for their cars so not sure why they have that system if they don't actually use it. Rooms - nice and big. The way the hotel is laid out, almost all of them have a partial view. The first level suites have a little patio with patio tables for four and easy access to the pool. The ocean-view suites have long narrow patios with chairs. Ours was a partial view with two patio chairs and a table overlooking the pool. There was a wet bar with a wine opener, mini-fridge, makeup table, love seat and small table, and plenty of storage space. In the closet, you'll find robes to use, flip flops to buy (cheap plastic ones for $10 and XL only, but hey, if you want to go to the beach and forgot yours, it's convenient), an ironing board and a safe. Cleanliness- not as good as I expected from this level of hotel. There were two hairs in our bathroom and I always figure if they didn't mop up the hairs, what else did they not do? Pool and jacuzzi - two pools and two jacuzzis. It was too cold for us to swim even though the pool was heated and the jacuzzi was full (I mean full) of children and their water wings warming up so we didn't use that either. The pool is great for kids with two little slides, but not ideal if you're an adult that doesn't like swimming in a pool where kids tend to pee. There are also cabanas for rent and loungers ( a few have umbrellas but most don't). You can pay for access to the beach club area where there are more loungers with umbrellas and a fire pit. There's also a bar conviently located near the pool. Pool hours, according to the sign are from 10am - 7pm. Overall, it's a great option in Huntington. There is also a Hyatt next door and a Pasea Hotel on the other side. If you forgot something, there's a Walmart that's about a six minute drive inland and of course all the little stores on Main.

First of all, as a Hilton diamond member, I am always so impressed with the amenities and service I receive during my stays and this stay was no different! I am always very grateful for the staff that works so hard to create a comfortable atmosphere away from home! I always try to let them know how much I appreciate all of them and make them feel appreciated! And mainly it's because I always feel that in every Hilton that I stay at and this one was so amazing! Thank you AMANDA BRASHER , front desk Manager, for making me feel like family and for taking time to meet my requests 🤗 Just staying there as part of a girls group from our church you made us all feel so special!! I really do appreciate that as we all do!! You went above and beyond! Also I want to give a shout out to Jordan at the front desk for being so patient checking us all in! Again it is why I stay with this company, and have been with them for so many years! Thank you for a memorable stay , I'm sure I will be back one day! Read less

Had a Great time here with the wife and dog. Ryan and the valet staff were especially great with my vintage Porsche taking gentle care to accommodate my needs. The hotel and our room were very clean, the staff were friendly. We will be back! Thanks Ryan and crew!

More like a 3.5 but I rounded down. Came for a quick staycation and it was OK. The room was clean but there were definitely places that were worn down, especially in the bathroom. We were in the older Huntington tower and parts of the room like soap dish, corners of the bathroom cabinets, etc were clearly very worn. This might be a safety feature… Read more
More like a 3.5 but I rounded down. Came for a quick staycation and it was OK. The room was clean but there were definitely places that were worn down, especially in the bathroom. We were in the older Huntington tower and parts of the room like soap dish, corners of the bathroom cabinets, etc were clearly very worn. This might be a safety feature but the water in the bath/shower didn't get very hot, it was kind of annoying to get lukewarm at best when I've been cold. We travel and keep medication that needs to be refrigerated and the fridge wasn't very efficient, it lost all the cool as soon as it was opened/closed so I ended up having to get ice to keep the medication viable since the fridge was unreliable. I feel like the whole hotel kind of nickel and dimed you, and some cheap tricks were in place like offering the $8 water bottle up front and the free bottles down under, though the website says slippers are offered I didn't see any. Flip flops were offered but at a price, etc. We're gold status with Hilton which entitled us to an upgrade which we did not get even though the hotel was pretty empty. I also felt like hospitality was fine, but nothing special or thoughtful. It felt like it was get in-out. This stay wouldn't stand out in my mind. There are two pools, and if you have kids I recommend the one with the water slide, it was much warmer than the other one when the weather is still somewhat chilly. The pools were nearly empty, just some adults in the hot tub and the other pool had a few families but nothing super crowded. Read less

Stayed at the hotel for a conference. Beautiful property and perfect location right across from the beach. One notable highlight was the valet staff. Ryan and his crew were amazing. Gave us great recommendations. Even drove us to a spot with the hotel van. Top notch customer service.
