777 Motor INN

We didn’t actually sleep in the room. We used it as our shower option because the place we were staying at had no hot water. The property felt cheap and poorly maintained (just painted over delayed maintenance issues. The motel required a cash deposit and an inspection after check out to refund the cash deposit. We are thankful for a working shower, but not a place we would stay at by choice.

Not worth the price

They needed a $50 cash deposit for “damage”. They requested it in the middle of signing for the room, with a conveniently staged ATM that charged $3 for the transaction…Shady. Checked the room for damage while I was waiting to check out. Noisy place also. Old and run down. Don’t ever stay there!

Location is great! Very near Seal Beach where I like to hang out. It's on PCH, so traffic noise can be bothersome, but you can block it out by closing all the windows and keeping the fan running. Strange stuff: It's like they anticipate people will be damaging the rooms, because they have you sign a very specific contract about ruining comforters, smoking in the room (not allowed), or damaging furniture. I certainly didn't intend to do any of those things, but felt like I would be charged if they thought I had damaged something. You must come to the front desk within 15 minutes of entering the room to make them aware of anything that looks damaged. Problem is, there is DIY patchwork and painting, the mini fridge in my room had weird scratches all over the top of it, the furniture was old and rough, and there was smoke in the air because one of my neighbors was outside smoking in the hallway. Last, there was a black line that ran vertically through the screen on the television (a crack?). I reported all these things, because I'd been made very nervous that they might charge me for any one of them. There are different fees for different offenses. The older owners seemed more flexible, the middle-aged man who checked me in seemed a bit uptight. The bedding seemed clean, but the amenities and linens were cheap. This is closer to a Motel 6 experience (a little worse than some), not a Hilton/Hampton Inn experience. If you're on a budget and need a decent bed and shower, it's okay.

The clerk wanted to write all of my credit card information down on paper for my deposit, which I thought was very suspicious so I did not stay here and now I also cannot get a refund

We liked the location and the price. When we walked in the room, we saw an outdated room, paint peeling at spots, moldy shower grout, and as we shut door we saw a hole in door where there was no peep hole piece and people could look right in the room. My husband pulled sheets back to some old looking stains that seemed washed, but still present. The smoke detector was being held up with a metal strap which partially covered the detector, dangerous. Old bathroom sink had old stains very outdated.

We enjoyed our 2 nite stay. The only noise was from PCH, its busy and loud traffic. We picked it because of the ability to walk to the beach, some good food options and a grocery store as well. Surfside is a pretty low key beach community and we’d probably stay there again..

Right on the pacific coast highway!

The lady at the front desk was so nice and very helpful. Its close to the beach and we walked to a restaurant nearby. We enjoyed our stay. I would stay there again.

Great place and will definitely go back

This place made our California vacation wonderful. We simply wanted a clean place to sleep and easy access to the beach. There were a couple dings on the walls from use over time, but we didn’t mind. The check in and checkout process was easy as well. One thing I would note about this motel is the walls are thin, other than that, our stay was amazing.

Smell very bad ! Not clean ! I didn’t like at all

There was no drinking waterbin the entire place!! The clerk at the front desk suggested drinkin tap water, saying, California water was safe to drink. They didnt even have a water kettle for boiling hot water.

These are by far the rudest staff members of any hotel place. I’ve stayed in Huntington Beach area and I have been to dozens of spots in Huntington. The male staff - I believe Ernie and Sam, go out of their way to be exceptionally rude. They also have signs posted that go against California standards when it comes to service animals. What I find posted that if you have a service animal, they will refuse service to you and will cancel your stay or will charge you an additional $200 even if the room is in the same condition as when you checked in. They never cleaned our room. We were there for almost a week. They never gave us fresh towels. They never gave us extra toilet paper. There’s barely any soap in the room. They will not provide you with hot water maker in the room. You cannot make even coffee. Call automatically charge you an additional $50 deposit. They will have you sign a form that says you cannot cook any food in the room, additional with a bunch of other things that you will be signing such as paying extra for the assortment of miscellaneous things, that people regularly do in hotel rooms. The bathroom water, floods the floor they won’t even give you a floor towel for the bathroom. The room is not clean. There is filth left if you even look under a table or bed. It’s obvious that there is mold. We have pictures of it in the drawers of the broken furniture that was in the room. They’ve just painted over the mold. Good luck getting an extra towel. Never cleaned room

Yikes!! You would think was such a great location. They would update these rooms! Literally skidrow dive status! We live local we’re from the area and we got this room for a friend who sent pictures of the interior condition. Wow.

The bed was okay. TV cords were draped across the wall. Lighting was glaring. Floor was patched with duct tape.

Very comfortable, very clean. This is not a5 star hotel but it worked just fine for us. The staff were great and rooms were clean. Great for the price and close to the ocean.

We got the last available room and our door was right in the busy lobby.

5 minute walk from the beach. Room is okay if you’re balling on a budget. The elevator only goes up so good luck lugging your bags down the stairs. No microwave but the owners are very sweet.

Good stay
