The reviews scared me but it was actually a nice motel. It had a microwave and refrigerator in the room. They cleaned daily which is surprising when I stayed at Marriott and Sonesta and they don't even clean everyday! read more

I had a terrible experience at Oceanside Hotel in Huntington Beach. From the moment we arrived, the staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. To make matters worse, our room wasn't even ready at the scheduled check-in time. We specifically paid extra for a jacuzzi room, but the jacuzzi didn't work at all. The TV was also not working, and the refrigerator was unplugged when we arrived. After plugging it in ourselves, it made loud noises throughout our stay. For the price we paid, this was completely unacceptable. The room was poorly maintained, and the customer service was one of the worst I've experienced. Save yourself the frustration and don't waste your money here. There are plenty of better hotels in the area that actually care about their guests. read more

If I could do negative stars I would! The front desk lady is beyond rude!! She is disrespectful, told her about the sheets and she called me a liar among other things. The room was dirty, stains on sheets and bugs. Take your business somewhere else for sure!! read more

The manager lady is sooooo rude, punitive in fact. I kept trying to figure out what I was being punished for... She wouldn't give us a second key, although there were 2 of us. They charge $58 to park a 2nd car. She really is a biiiaaatch! I'm surprised they're still in business because she is so awful. I feel sorry for her (sweet daughter?) that works the front desk with her. My gosh!!! Don't stay here!!! read more

I did my booking for the Ocean view Motel onbooking.com. When I arrived and the reservationist lady told me that there would be a $100 cleaning security deposit, I did ask the following questions. Would they deposit my Cleaning security deposit? Her answer was no it would be a pending charge, and it would only be deposited if there were any damages to the room or if anything was missing and that they would do a walk-through with me when I checked out and give me an itemize list of anything that was wrong. I checked out the following day at 8 o'clock in the morning and there was nobody at the front desk at all to my surprise six days after I had checked out, they deposited my cleaning security deposit through my bank. They are a bunch of thieves! First of all California state law requires that if you do retain a cleaning security deposit of any amount you must at check out do a complete walk-through and give the individual and itemize list of anything that is missing or anything that is damaged. They 100% breached the contract when they did not follow this procedure. And then six days after I check out, they then deposit the cleaning security deposit of $100? Of course I tried to reach him and nobody answers the phone. booking.com has been somewhat helpful, but they to have their fault. if you read the reviews of this motel on Yelp you will see I am not the only one who had a problem with their clean security deposit. What's really sad is for the price of $116. It is a very nice room, it was very clean, and I would've stayed here again! But now, with them, cashing my cleaning security deposit, I will never never stay here. My advice to anybody who is considering this motel is to STAY AWAY!!!! I have been close some pictures of the room when I left so you can see I left it in wonderful condition read more

March 28, 2026 my husband and I made a last-minute reservation because our E bikes had run out of charge and we had no way getting back to our car that was 54 miles away the manager a woman not sure her name was so incredibly rude to us. She said we should've made prior arrangements to let her know that we had these bikes she didn't let us lock them around the gate or tree around there. She wasn't accommodating at all. I had booked the room from hotel.com and when we said we wanted to cancel since she wouldn't let us stay there she said you booked a third-party. it's up to them when we tried hotel.com. Said they contacted her and she would not refund us the money. We stayed there once before and all the pictures posted are accurate. It is filthy old and smells like smoke I will never stay there again horrible experience. read more

Very close beach access, it's a decent bed to sleep in, nothing fancy, close to lots of eating places and shopping. On the 3rd floor you can see the ocean a little bit over the houses. It is right on PCH so there is some traffic noise from PCH but that did not bother me. If you just want a clean bed to sleep in I recommend. read more

Negative stats should be an option. The other reviews are 100% accurate, the lady is awful an will watch you and profile you. Go to 777. Cheaper. Nicer. And two doors away. Soooo much better at 777b!! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. read more

"Warning"not stay at this motel is a scam no ocean view. The manager/owner not sure is a lady extremely rude. They will keep your deposit as longes they want. It's dirty it's smells really bad. Stains in bed if you try to cancel they will all your money n kick you out very rudely. I was on the phone with booking to try to solve the problem bit I spent an hour with them. I was demanding to this properly I'd their site. There nothing to improve in this motel but close down or sell it to a better management or owner. read more

The operators of this hotel are what once was called 'tourist trap'. My complaints are identical to those negative complains listed to right. I mean identical! Starting with the loud, argumentative, rude, not very bright heavy set woman who introduced herself by yelling there's $20 per card for door key, they insisted that if I want the $20 back, I must bring key and give it to them. I said I would leave it in the room, like every other motel in the known universe, she said i would be charge $20 for the key. I was in the area for medical treatment , as I am 100% disabled, from my service in Viet Nam. I was sick, tired and weak, wanted to rest. I was starting to wobble, so I need to hydrate and rest. I took the key and went to rest in the room. I was immediately struck by an odor, mildew and mold, I went to put my meds in the refrigerator, it was unplugged. I had to pull it out from under the counter and a gray brown, damp, smelly towel that was under the refrig fell on the floor. I kicked the towel into the bathroom and turn on the fan it worked at only at half sped, odd I thought until I turned on the 'AC', it too only worked at half speed. I now go to put my meds in refrigerator, the door won't close, thats why it unplugged, the door won't close, so it runs continuously, and the little ice area is dripping water and their fix was to unplug went not in use, and catch the drippings on a towel. Refrigerator barely cools my meds, and won't refreeze my blue ice. Now I can't stand up any longer and have to lie down. I pull the bed spread back and there what looks like blood spots and small black spots. I have never seen bed bugs before so can't say, if that's what it was, but I brought a car blanket and lay it on the bed and laid on top of car blanket. I will throw the car blanket away. I went down to voice my issues, the woman said I am not getting my money back, and my issues were lies. I told I am not saying any longer she said she got my money and she keeping it. I am too tired to move today but will not stay a second day in the worst of worst, on all possible counts. Everything in the place has not been throughly cleaned in years. Writing table is covered with grime and greasy smears. It's hard for me to imagine a person who be satisfied with room. I believe that any positive review is a plant. There are no positives for this toilet. STAY AWAY! Wikipedia if you don't know what a is Tourist Trap. read more

This place is vile the worst experience of my life this whole place is a scam and the Indian lady was the worst person I've ever met very unprofessional and rude we were never told no guest we only had 2 people over for 1 hour and she called the room cussing and charged us 120 dollars for that on top of that. To check in an hour earlier was 57 dollars when on the phone we were told only 20 but that changed when we got there, not only that but she kept our 100 dollar deposit we tried to talk to her nicely about wanting our deposit even though she made it hard and she started screaming at us. We walked into the room and it reeked in there!! And there was blood stains on the bed when we told her she got really upset and accused us of lying. I hope this lady goes out of business because this is the worst place ever! Never come here don't spend your money here! Also when leaving to go eat she gave us devious stares and stood right behind our car. She will be hearing from my lawyer soon, it's honestly so crazy how this place is still up and running I'd rather sleep in an empty parking lot in my car! Anyone who says other wise is lying. read more

If I could give no stars I would. This Indian lady had such a bad attitude I am currently looking for a lawyer about this experience! She took our money from reservation off trip.com and ran it for a deposit but refused to give a key saying I was late and had an attitude. I may have as the customer who asked for a handicapped accessible room or room on first do look when I made my reservation and she gave all the 1st floor rooms away to surfers cause they paid cash and over asking price. Meanwhile I have a handicapped person who can't walk up stairs cause of course the elevator was broken. Which is what must have cause the attitude I displayed when I asked "Like hey is the elevator broken? Can one of our rooms be on first floor please " cause her to scream I'm 3 mins later than what I had called to advise I'll be I called at 9 to advise we'd get there about 11 we had to eat before coming from Burbank airport. And I all this occurred for 1103 on. We had to call the police and still find a new hotel at midnight. Thank God for Golden Sails in Long a beach for saving us. Do not ever use this motel. They have no service and have very poor attitudes. The lady was mad I called trip.com to make sure my reservations showed I asked for a handicapped room she said and I quote I get the message with your request I chose not to acknowledge it. I'm guessing this is why she wouldn't rent the prepaid rooms to us. Minus 1 is my real experience with this place. I have never experienced an issue with a hotel other than towels and tv issues so this was a new experience I hope no one ever experiences. To have the police called because your either a minority race and they feel they can bully you cause they know justice isn't alway immediate for African Americans or they were discriminatory because we had a handicapped person! Oh did I forget to mention sh said every room on first floor was rented to a handicapped person and I could knock on odors at 1130pm to check. Although I pulled up to all her handicapped parking free either spaces were being occupied. read more

These people are thieves. They will hold your deposit for as long as they can. It took over 2 weeks and several calls to my bank to get this cleared up. The entire time they said I was trying to steal from them and blamed my bank saying it was a "Corrupt American Institution." The room also sucked. All towels were stained and the pillow cases were obviously not washed. I'm assuming the bedding was also not washed. DO NOT STAY HERE. There are several other establishments, close by, that are far superior. read more

You should definitely check the reviews before booking a room. My mistake was that I didn't. The owner/ lady up front is rude. We paid $130 for one night plus $100 deposit AND $57 to check in two hours early. As soon as we walked in we noticed stains on the sheets, blankets, and pillows. The floor was disgusting and scratched. It wasn't swept or mopped. The bathroom and shower were super gross. Luckily we brought our own sheets/pillows/blankets, we stripped the bed as soon as we got in there. The hotel was right by the freeway and the traffic was really loud, not an ocean view. We saw that lots of people were complaining that they didn't get their deposit back so we made sure to clean the motel ourselves and remake the bed so they didn't have a single reason not to give us our deposit back. The motel was just super sketchy and gross. If you write a bad review the owner will try to tell you that you should've come to the front desk and she would've given you a full refund. It's hard for people to come to the office and complain when you list that the motel is nonrefundable and every time we went down to the office it was closed! Please don't waste your money on this place and choose a cleaner and safer motel. read more

Horrible place to stay! You're better off sleeping on your car. Mattress so old the springs were poking us all night. The pillows were flat and seemed stuffed with cotton balls.

Definitely make sure you check review before booking. My friends and I decided to stay here last minute kinda trip. Called to book the room that's when we spoke to the rude front desk lady/owner of hotel. We got to the motel paid for our room and additionally left a 200 dollar deposit (real pricey for a stank motel). Also the lady spoke to us like kids saying; No visitors or guests only 2 people may be in the room at anytime, No loud noises or music even though it was still early at the time we got there. Or else she would keep the deposit. Once stepping into the room it smelled bad and was very dirty, like it needs a deep clean. It was outdated and the furniture is falling apart. Also there was no OceanView the motel faces the opposite direction to water. So at that point decided to not stay anymore, we were refused a refund or deposit back. We contacted booking.com they contacted the motel to no good use because the owner refused any refunds. So we went down to speak to the owner/front desk again. We explained to her why we no longer wanted to stay, she didn't care said no refunds. We told her if we could just get the deposit as we didn't stay there at all just walked in and out of the room. We started recording her since she was arguing with us and yelling. We brought up the broken chair, she offered to put a different one (not thinking how someone could hurt themselves on it). We went back and forth till she agreed we delete the video of her and we get our deposit back. She went through our phones and deleted them. Got our 200 deposit back and left. Worst motel experience ever. read more

Wish there was a zero star option. The people here are SO unpleasant. There's a "late check in" fee which is insane for a MOTEL. The rooms are stuffy. Bed is uncomfortable. If I could have gotten a refund I would have rather slept in my car on the side of the freeway. read more

Rude, unhelpful, and a FIFTY SEVEN DOLLAR ($57) "late check-in" fee. At 11:00 PM, at a hotel. Getting charged half the cost of the room again to check in. Which, to be clear, was not noted anywhere when I booked the room. Oh, and the room was awful. Avoid at all costs. read more

Not a good experience here. If you have any other options book there. First of all terrible service from the second you walk in, extremely rude (maybe she was just taking her bad day out on me) because I couldn't ask a simple question without getting barked at. We were having trouble with our payment and were looking at other options of processing it but Instead of just helping, I was told they're a multi million dollar company and that I can go online and read their policy if I have a question. Rooms were as nice as the service, very loud, and not very clean. For a multi million dollar business they should start to invest in it. I'll definitely be booking elsewhere next time I'm in the area! read more

My husband and I went on a trip to celebrate our anniversary at the beach where I grew up. We were looking for a reasonable place at the beach and found The Ocean View Motel. It was very clean! We could smell the cleanliness as we walked into the room. We were very pleased. Rosa was very friendly and hospitable. She told us all of the places we could get food and more. She had our room cleaned every day, and we always had clean towels, and our coffee and supplies were replaced daily. It was refreshing. We've been at other Hotels that were supposedly the best, but those places didn't replace supplies or clean our room and leave fresh towels. I really appreciated the great service and friendly service that we received. I would recommend this Motel to anyone that is looking for a getaway. I give two thumbs up! read more

Excellent stay! I was a bit hesitant to book based on previous reviews, however, our stay was amazing. Our room was clean and we had a little view of the ocean. Yes, there was traffic, but after a long day enjoying the beach and events, we slept soundly. No issues with people, traffic, or the marina behind the motel. Perfect place at the end of the day. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach, freeway, and local food. I highly recommend staying here; affordable and courteous check in/check out. read more

Just don't do it...I am 6.5mo pregnant and brought our kids to the beach on a last minute trip...only hotel available...next time we'll drive somewhere else to spend on our $300 one night on somewhere better...unfortunately by the time we got to the room for the night with our kids it was LATE and we didn't notice 95% of the issues until daylight...and when my toe got stuck in a hole in the sheet in the middle of the night...didn't complain to front desk, just left in the morning because at least we had beds to sleep in, but e-mailed them pictures and a heads up about the room needing to be fixed...NEVER ASKED FOR A REFUND from them and got nothing but shit back from them. Turned them into BBB and health department. read more

As I travel during this Covid 19 experience. I have to say this hotel payment system is seriously flawed if not illegal. They charged my credit card even though I paid online. I called to ask about this and the owner and his wife were very condescending and talked to to me as if they were some how superior running a low end hotel. The room smelled and the AC unit leaked water all over the floor. So stepping out of bed onto a wet floor wasn't nice but I didn't complain...just to see that they are very condescending when you ask for your money back. Check your credit card or debit before you leave this property. There are tons of hotels in the area, pick one of those. read more

I arrived at 1:30 and there was not a single car in the parking lot. Office was empty so I rang the bell....3 times more ringing and 10 minutes later, an impolite lady came out of her room, no greeting, and told me no checking in until 3. I get the rules, but she was not even trying to provide any kind of customer service or at lease pretending that she is interested to go above and beyond for the sake of customer service. Inside refrigerator and inside microwave was absolutely filthy. Sheets and towels were clean but stained. I know sometimes you're on a fixed budget and can't/don't want to pay more, but I am sure for the same $ you can find a better place in the area. read more

First time I booked a hotel without looking it up on yelp . Never again will I book without checking on yelp. Since check in the lady at the front whom I believe is the owner was not very friendly. Then when I got to my room it was very upsetting. This hotel needs major repairs. The AC really didn't work and the refrigerator was not plugged in so when we plugged it in it took hours to actually work. I always feel bad writing a bad review but I wish I would of known prior to booking because I definitely would not of booked here. The walls were even dirty. read more

From rude customer service to no heat in room, what was right about this place? 00.03 stars.. Not much!!! Flashing Light bulb in bathroom was second red flag after rude owner wouldn't even look at me while on phone when I arrived early for checkin. By the way don't come in an hour early unless you want to spend half a nights rent!!! Heater doesn't work, only blows cold air, and I usually have heat in my house set at 70 year round. Little sleep after turning up heat to 80 I gave up and turned unit off. You like bathrooms where the (dirty) door is at your face? Nobody does! This building is clearly THE SINGLE MOST RUNDOWN in AREA!!!! I had my alarm set for 6 am. But I was done with this place at 5. Get me outta here!! read more

First of all, name is misleading, it's three blocks from the ocean, all you can see is the highway and houses. They marketed it on purpose like that, don't waste your money.

There's 4 other hotels in the area at the same price range, literally go with any of those. read more

There are no words in the English language to properly describe how terrible this place is. While the rooms are as average as you can find, the staff is exceptionally rude and disorganized.

This is by Far the Worse motel, horrible customer service. The lady in the front office is so rude and very unprofessional. Let's not start how false advertisement is. Nothing is like shown on pictures. The jacuzzi smelled like sewer. We tried talking to the lady to move us to a different room. She right away got defensive and was not accommodating. We left after 20 min because she was not being understanding. I don't know how this place is still in Business. How many bad reviews does it need to stop people from booking a room here. read more

The Oceanview Motel in Huntington Beach that I check in on 11/7 and departed on 11/9 This Motel should charge by the hour and not by the Night. 1-There is NO Ocean View 2-There are Cigarette Burns on the furniture however I was asked 8 times if I smoked and if I do, dont smoke in the Room, they still put me in the Room that is right in front of the Smoking Section of the Motel 3-You cannot open the bathroom door, it wedges itself to the Curtain Rod so you have to squeeze yourself into the bathroom to do your business 4-Open Electrical outlets in the bathroom washing area which I am sure can be a hazard 5-The WIFI is a joke and can barely get a signal and I was there doing business and couldnt even get online without drastic wait times 6-The Pictures that are on Expedia are no way a correct description of the room I stayed in and they had the nerve to say I was being upgraded 7-The towels are like sandpaper 8-You get one sheet to sleep with no cover, and they cannot expect you to use the dirty Cover blanket that nobody uses as they are dirty 9-The Shower Head and valves are rusted and filthy 10-My neighbors had a dog barking and they appeared to live in the room, fighting and arguing into the night The couple are obsessed with asking you about smoking in the room, however the cigarette burns in the furniture tell otherwise. I told them I dont smoke so they put me in room 302 and said that the designated smoking section is in front of room 301 and told me it was an upgrade. This place is a real toilet, lotsa other options I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

First, they do not have any vending machines, sodas, water, or snacks. You have to walk two blocks for that. Second, the cheap furniture, especially the bed is flimsy. Third and Worst of all, DO NOT GIVE A CASH DEPOSIT!!!!BEWARE!!! The owner tried to tell me that someone else had come and got my $200.00 cash deposit and that it was my fault. After arguing with him yelling at me, he finally slammed the money on the desk to avoid what could of been a 911 moment for him. He was rude, yelled, would not listen, and worst of all didn't even check for an I.D. when the so-called refunding of my cash deposit took place. Do yourself and your friends, and family a favor, spend an extra $25 and stay at one of the several places on the same street less than a block from there. You'll be grateful you did. I will not ever go back there, even if it is offered to me free. It was a very Un-pleasant experience. read more

I f do not recommend this junky motel even for the night. It was just me and a friend having a moms weekend away the minute we checked The Indian lady was extremely rude, started saying we couldn't have guests umm okay, we couldn't take showers or baths or get water on the floor. We had to be quiet we're like okay and then asked for a 200 dollar deposit which was never stated when we booked the room. Then when we got to the room the ac didn't work, the fridge didn't work, the bathroom was so small and the toilet paper was from the dollar store. I would never recommend this place to anyone save your money spend a little more and find a different place. read more

I can't even give this establishment one star. First off they advertise Beach access. Maybe in the 70's but not now. You cannot even walk around the side of the building to the bay side.. It is on a very busy street Pacific Coast Highway. There is no way I would try to cross that road even at the light. So we ended up driving down a ways to a place where we could park safely away from the craziness. As we signed in, which I booked on Expedia. She asked for a deposit of $200 which I would get back upon checking out. I gave her 4-50's and I didn't get a receipt nor did I asked for one. I had to sign a paper that there would be no smoking or vaping. If I wanted to smoke I would have asked for a smoking room. I had asked for a non smoking room. We get in the room and there are cobwebs or dirt hanging from the corners of the bedroom and bathroom. There was a fridge but not plugged in so warm, we plugged in. Above one of our beds is what looks like a puddle water as I touched with a clothes hanger it was full of something. Not acceptable. Next morning we check out and as we stand in the lobby she acknowledges us after maybe 4 minutes, she was sitting in the adjacent room with her back to us. There was a buzzer to let her know someone was there. She turned and told us to leave the key and on the counter, I can understand that with the COVID. So I did and I asked for my $200 dollars in return. She looked surprised I reminded her I handed her 4-50's the previous night. Will never return and definitely will tell my friends about it not worth $90 a night. read more
