Offering a year round outdoor pool and a restaurant, Ayres Hotel Fountain Valley is located 9.6 km from Huntington Beach. Free WiFi access is available in all suites. Complimentary parking is provided. We rested our heads here for an evening before flying out from LAX. It was spacious, comfortable, clean and had a touch of luxury. Black out blinds, great heating/cooling. A brilliant breakfast buffet, a mini fridge and a spacious bathroom. What stood out the most were the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff at the desk. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend as great value!

This Mediterranean-style property is located on a bluff overloading the Pacific Ocean. It offers a balcony, a fully equipped kitchen and free Wi-Fi in every spacious suite.

San Clemente Cove Resort features a hot tub and a sauna. Guests can enjoy the community barbecue area or use the laundry facilities. We loved our stay. The location is superb, right next to the beach. The resort is lovely - architecturally interesting and well designed. Our studio was spacious, very clean, and everything in it worked. And the balcony with the sea view was perfect. Also the hotel offers beach equipment - chairs, toys etc. at no charge. Plus, the parking in the hotel garage is a massive bonus.
