We were staying at the Motel 6 on the other side of town for several days, but we moved over to this Super 8 for the last night, because I had to drop off a car that evening & walk back to the motel, and this one was much closer to the dropoff point than the Motel 6. On future trips to Westminster, we'll definitely be staying at this hotel, not Motel 6.

After you pay the $3 extra at Motel 6 for internet, this Super 8 (with free internet) is then only about $5 more than the Motel 6, and clearly much better. It's much quieter, with larger and nicer rooms, TV, bath stuff than the M6. We left too early in the morning to sample it, but they also offer a free continental breakfast.

The only drawback to this (vs M6) is there's no restaurant next door, while the M6 has the Westminster Cafe and In & Out Burger right there in the same parking lot.

If you are towing a trailer this isnt a safe bet....And there is no elevator...The rooms were actually very nice for a Super 8.....

My family and I stayed at at the the Super 8 Westminster to be close to Huntington Beach and Long Beach. We typically stay near Disneyland, however we decided to venture out of our comfort zone.

First the positives:

This is a Super 8, so we were surprised at the quality of the room. I would say it was one step up from basic. It had a large refrigerator as well as a microwave. It did have older decor, however, we were doing this trip on the cheap and just needed a bed. The room was about average. The staff was very friendly and helpful. In general, it is a 10 minute drive to the beach and 15 minute drive to Disneyland. The overall value is good, you just need to know that this is a bargin hotel and do not have your expectations higher than that,

The negatives:

To be frank, the motel is next to a Strip Club and a Check Cashing location. There are security cameras galore to address the location; however it only helped to further make us feel more insecure. If the motel was just on the South side of the Freeway, it would have been fine. The North side of the freeway is iffy. The pool is very small and not heated and the contential breakfast is pretty basic, danishes and muffins in plastic wrappers, fruit loops or cherrios, and juice, coffee, or milk. While I know you get what you pay for, an attempted at presentation would have been nice.

I would not recommend this location for families. It would have been fine if it was just myself. What it did teach me though is stay in areas you are more comfortable with.

Reserved a king, non-smoking standard room. Thought that the "standard" room had fridges, since the website advertised them. Was advised by the very helpful lady at the front desk that the "executive" room gets the fridge for $6 more. She told me that it really pays to call the Super8 phone number to verify every time, since the website doesn't guarantee the size of bed or even the smoking preference - and she's learned that the hard way, after working for Super8 for a long time!

Typical Super 8 experience - bed quality, furnishings, room size, etc. SuperStart breakfast did have a nice selection of fresh fruit and 4 - count it - 4 different kinds of fruit juices in their fruit juice machine. No yogurt or waffle makers - found that to be the case throughout the trip - wonder what happened??

Best thing about this location - the very experienced, friendly front desk staff. Also, a quiet location, and a quiet room, thanks to placement by the selfsame front desk staff.
