Springhill Suites By Marriott Huntington Beach Orange County

“You can’t beat this awesome team when it comes to customer service!”

Nick, Rich, and one girl with curly hair and a bright smile (that unfortunately didn’t get her name) on the afternoon shift of 7/8, where awesome, great customer service, awesome personalities. We felt at home! Thank you all for making our work/semi vacation special! 😃

“Love Nicholas the bartender”

Omg. This hotel is so awesome. Nicholas the bartender was greatl!

“Thanks!”

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

“Great location near the 405 freeway and beaches. $15 parking fee is a turn-off to park in a large, empty lot.”

The Springhill Suites Huntington Beach is a nice property conveniently located near the 405 freeway/Beach Blvd. It's a decent spot if you want to still be relatively close to Disneyland - but away from the hustle/bustle. Easy access to a major freeway helps you travel to other notable spots in the area. I had booked directly through Marriott, so was able to digitally check-in via their app, which made check-in on the day of arrival easy. Richard pleasantly greeted me, was prompt and professional - handed me my room keys, brief overview of the hotel, and pointed towards where the elevators are. He also handed me a little goody bag for being a Rewards member (albeit at a pathetically low tier, lol). My room requests for view/away from elevator was acknowledged. The room is larger than your average hotel room - sorta more like a studio setup. There's living space with a sofa that converts to a trundle bed, workstation with chair, kitchenette with coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave, and then of course the bed and bathroom. It's nice to have a mini fridge/microwave since that's an amenity that a lot of hotels are doing away with. The fridge didn't have any controls to make it colder - but I imagine it's linked to the room's power system, which btw requires you to insert your room key into a slot near the door to enable power to your room. AC worked well - it's a loud wall unit, but you're in HB - the weather is relatively mild/comfortable most of the year, at least it was during my stay - so I didn't really need to use the AC for long. I just turned it on to see how loud it was/how easy it would be to manage to climate settings. Bed was comfy. More than enough pillows with four decent sized ones for my King bed. The lights on both sides of the bed are individually controllable - great if you're traveling with someone who doesn't share the same sleep schedule as you. Bathroom has a sliding door - no lock - something to keep in mind if traveling with someone. There isn't a solid partition either - the door has a frosted glass enclosure. Water pressure and temperature throughout my stay was great - no issues. There aren't individual toiletries anymore, just the bulk dispensers which I'm not a fan of - luckily, I just travel with my own toiletries. Complimentary breakfast was okay - nothing notable. I had the last crustless quiche - and that wasn't refilled for the rest of the morning. Waffle machine, cereal, powdered eggs, pork sausage, and a giant vat of oatmeal (with all the fixins on the side). Property itself has a lot of nice community areas. Decently equipped fitness center. No pool. A open air terrace on the 2nd floor with a giant chess board, pool table, a few lounges throughout the first floor with comfy seating. Security is great. All rooms are interior accessible, meaning their doors don't face outside. You have to walk past the front desk to get to the elevators. All side entrances are accessible only by swiping your room key, and the front doors lock after a certain time. Great if you're concerned about safety/traveling alone. *** I'm knocking off a star from my otherwise great stay because of the obnoxious parking fee of $15/night. I can't see why they would charge $15 for parking considering the area. Bella Terra is across the street, but I've never seen their lot completely full (which would cause people to overflow into other lots) - even on Black Friday. You're not remotely close to any of the major theme parks like Disney or Knotts. There was plenty of empty parking spaces in the lot when midnight rolled around. It just seems like a greedy cash grab "because they can". Usually, these extended stay brands offer complimentary parking, since some of their guests tend to stay for longer visits. $15 for parking just makes for a bad note on an otherwise pleasant stay. ***
