HILTON WATERFRONT
It doesn't take a Huntington Beach Boeing Company rocket scientist to figure out that some of the best accommodations in Huntington Beach are at the Hilton.
For a few hundred bucks you can stay in a room overlooking the Pacific Ocean in a hotel that consistently garners awards for its chef & meals, its hospitality and its amenities.
With an inviting pool that overlooks the ocean beyond the tall palms, the Hilton is a lot of fun. It's a place that locals like to go, too. Dinners and banquets really are a cut above, generally speaking.
