Hostel?
Posted: Sat August 9, 2008 04:12 PM UTC

Hey,
I've tried google-ing 'Huntington Hostel' and i've found a place called
Colonial Inn Youth Hostel Hotel
However, looking through the various hostel sites, i can't find it.
It's site does not load either.
Is this hostel still open?

If not, can anyone recommend a 'cheap' place to stay in the area for two nights.
I'll be hitting the area in early September.

Thanks in advance.

Beach question
Posted: Mon March 26, 2007 03:25 AM UTC

Hi- some girlfriends and I are hoping to visit the area in mid-June. We have our hearts set on spending some great time on the beach, and are just unsure of our best options. We are thinking of staying at the Hilton Beachfront, which would be very expensive but right on the beach (I think). Our other option would be to stay at an inland (i.e. cheaper) hotel and drive to the beach, but don't know what the public beach options are. Are there public beaches that offer chair rentals? Does anyone have any other tips?

Thanks!

We are going to Huntington beach in July 2 adults and our 16 year old daughter and are thinking of staying in the Huntington Surf Inn as it is close to the beach and restaurants. Can anyone give me any information on this motel the main thing I need to know is if it is clean and good value for money. Any information would be great as we have only seen a couple of pictures on their website

way to get from LAX to Huntington Beach
Posted: Sat October 21, 2006 06:29 AM UTC

Hi, all.

Question .. I am heading to Huntington Beach for the marathon in Feb and will be flying into the L.A. airport. I'd like to avoid renting a car if possible, since I'd only need it to get to and from the airport.

Is there is a bus route or similar from the airport to HB? Or if not, how much can I expect to pay for a taxi ride?

thanks! --Elizabeth

Vacation
Posted: Wed August 24, 2005 05:31 PM UTC

Hey all
I originally posted in the long beach forum but have decided to take my vacation to Huntington beach instead :)

Anyway, I'll be going from the 20th of October - 25th and staying in a hostel I think. Im mainly going to relax, get my head clear and do some writing (which i do a lot), but I wanna get as much in as possible so are there any things I HAVE to do when in HB?
Thanks

Hmm...anyone here? Need hotel/motel info please
Posted: Mon February 16, 2004 03:09 PM UTC

Going to Huntington Beach next month and we are looking for a beachfront hotel/motel for under $100 a night. I've seen a few advertised, but we want somewhere safe and clean (no roaches!). Can someone give a recommendation on any of these or someone I've not listed:

Huntington Surf Inn
Huntington Beach Inn
Surf & Sands motel
Beach Comfort Motel
Best Western Huntington Beach (looks the nicest out of those I've listed, but also the most expensive).
