Originally Posted By SuzieQ It depends upon how much you want to spend. Hilton and Marriott have hotels right on the beach (well, across PCH from it) in Huntington. These are premium resorts, though, and very pricey. If I split my time between the beach and DL, I like to stay at the Embassy Suites on Dyer Road in Santa Ana. I stayed at the Hampton Suites next door in March, and it was nice, too.
