Hotel guests are seen on the porch of the Huntington Inn, a beach resort located on Ocean Boulevard in Huntington Beach.In 1905, the Huntington Beach Company constructed a “grand” hotel at the corner of Eighth Street and Ocean Avenue (804 Pacific Coast Highway) and named it Hotel Huntington. But for most of its life, people knew it as the Huntington Inn. This fine hotel was built on five lots in the Craftsman style popular at the time. The builders, Martin and Huber, spared no expense in its design and when finished, it cost them $24,000. The first floor of the 30-room hotel was constructed with a brick facade and the upper stories of frame and shingle siding. The hotel began operations in August 1905 and was run by D.A. Stokes and his wife.In 1960s the inn was sold to Union Oil, who wanted to build a gas station on the corner, and in December 1969 had the old inn torn down.
