This is the best stay I've had a hotel! It was a well designed with an awesome beachy aesthetic and all the amenities were giving HB vibes. I loved that they had beach cruisers, beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach toys, and kids scooters available. They also had smores plates for pick up between 5-10 to take out to the fire pits! My room had two super comfy queen size beds with a huge balcony facing the pier. Parking was easy and the location was top tier within walking distance from main street and pacific city.

Location across the street from the Iconic Huntington Beach. Having one of the truly “ocean view” king rooms. Valet with in-and-out privileges is GREAT. King room is large with desk and panoramic view of the ocean. Large soaking tub in room. Located in downtown HB with lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The downside of the ocean view room is having to cope with the incessant car and motorcycle noise on Pacific Coast Highway. Closing the sliding glass door to the small balcony stops 90+ percent of this noise. When booking, specify that you want a room facing PCH and the beach/ pier. Otherwise, you will get a room with a partial or NO ocean view. The hotel is square, with only one side facing the Pacific Ocean.

- 5/5
We purchased a breakfast package with our stay. The food was good but a bit pricey, and portions were small. I didn't understand why they charged for coffee or tea when it was free in the lobby (20 ft from the restaurant). Also, glad we bought the breakfast package because there is only one coffee shop open in the neighborhood (especially for early birds). If you are a cyclist, please bring your bike and join the penlone to ride with others. The hotel is on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and is literally about 30 ft from the door. My biggest regret is that I didn't bring my bike to join the penlone groups (I won't make this mistake twice), and we should have brought our pet. We recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.

I unintentionally purchased a VIP room. We were greeted with chocolates, a money credit, and even credit towards the bar. From 5-6 there even free beer for social hour!! I never stood at a hotel like this before. They have fools ball table, ping pong, and even corn hole! Fire pits and more! The rooms were super cool, and clean. They even had a free record player!!! Super cool 😎 The shower was spacious. And we were blessed to have a balcony that faced the ocean. The staff was awesome! Friendly and they even lend you out beach towels and bikes too!!! There are too many positive things to say about this place. I had such a great time- and Kimpton Shore break hotel will be seeing us again! The food was great!! I think I ate the “lean and clean” or something rather. Everything was amazing. Thank you to all the staff and customer service!

I was double billed from the hotel and expedia, hotel did not know of the food and beverage credit expedia promised, hotel amenity fee was higher than indicated, robes were not warm, room was facing courtyard which was loud all night, other guests chatting at 4-5 am non stop in another room, you can hear through the walls. Had no idea how to get to the beach which was not on the property. No view room, had to keep curtains closed. Locals came to the fires and sat right outside our room, they told me they hang out there regularly which made it creepy. Next time I will pay more and have a better stay at one of the three other hotels on PCH.
- 5/5
Staff was wonderful, especially Anna at the front desk. Our room was a little sub-par this time around. Seemed a little dusty and a few things were missing in the bathroom. Also our robes were hanging, but taken after the first night so we didn't have them the second day. Not a big deal, but I love wearing the robes! Other than that, our stay was great.
- 5/5
The Kimpton Shorebreak is a lovely hip place. It is very pet friendly. My only complaints areis that the amenities list didn't include that there is a refrigerator (mini bar) in the room and that the only grass for dogs is a bit away from the property.

The location is perfect, just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance to a variety of great restaurants and shops, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. One of our favorite perks was the complimentary amenities, including beach towels and Regal bikes, which made enjoying the surroundings even easier and more fun. Overall, this place checked every box for our family. Between the exceptional service, ideal location, and thoughtful extras, it’s safe to say we’ve already found our next family vacation destination.

Super cool hotel just across the road from the beach and the iconic Huntington Beach Pier. The friendliest hotel staff I've ever encountered. Also, the most pet friendly place I've ever stayed. No pet fees, and they even take a polaroid of your pet and give them a complimentary toy. Not to mention, they also have record players in the rooms and a good selection of vinyl to choose from. Hands down my favorite hotel.

This hotel was super cute and steps from the beach! A ton of food choices are walkable and the restaurant/bar area in the hotel was beautiful. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Although I’m not a dog “lover” I did admire the care and concern of the staff and guests that had their pets .

Hotel was exceptional. Very clean, great coffee and am set up with a hot cocoa bar. Very family friendly, we loved sitting every morning by the coffee and tea set up. The restaurant food choices were wonderful and we really enjoyed having lunch there one day. We loved doing the s’mores by the fire pit with my niece and nephew on our last night too. The location is 10/10 as we could walk to the outdoor shopping mall and the pier right across the street that has a beautiful walkway by the beach. I definitely need to stay here on my next visit back because the convenience, service and extras were just really exceptional. The whole surf vibe made this such a fun experience while also being extremely comfortable.

The pop up they had on the outdoor patio was so cute, sadly due to a private event we couldn't enjoy it much. The social hour was great and very enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was good as were the cocktails. I wish the valet wasn't so expensive, but we were next to the beach so I guess that is to be expected. All in all I would come stay again in a heartbeat.

The heater is blasting cold air. The technician says there is no Freon in the system and he can’t do anything. The front desk said they’d give us a new room, but when we were ready to move they said they sold the room to a new guest and all rooms were taken. We’ve slept with no air or heat. It was a bad experience last night. I can’t wait to get out of here.

I told him it was our anniversary three weeks ago, but due to kids sports (football, football, and more football) we were finally able to get away and celebrate for the weekend. We found ourselves in a room with an ocean view and Friday night when we came back to the room, a bottle of champagne waiting by our bed. Definitely a nice touch. We love staying at this hotel due to its proximity to downtown Huntington Beach. Highly highly recommend this place!

There was no view of the beach from my room. Very disappointing. Their website would lead one to believe they were getting a beach view and the cost of the room was very excessive in my view. I did not have the breakfast, and I was provided with a coffee machine in my room, I just hope I wasn't charged extra for that..In the room, a $3.98 Snickers bar was $7.00. Just a bit over the line, don't you think. I loved the decor of surfing and the Privacy card was in the shape of a surfboard. They would not put my son's phone through to me. That night, a lovely desk attendant made a note on my file and the next day the call went through. First day was upsetting as he had to come to the hotel to see if I was ok.

I could walk to the pier and watch the surfers. I enjoyed walking around and window shopping in the area. Those aspects of the hotel were really nice. I had breakfast before sunrise at a local cafe and listened to the surfers plan their days. I loved the decor around the hotel as well. They had incredible pictures of surfing and waves that spanned decades. It was worth stopping and looking at the pictures throughout the day. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. I'll try to stay here again the next time I'm in town.

Property is a great location. The room could be updated a little and the parking garage and fees are out of control especially after the room price and resort fees.

The hotel seemed great upon first arrival, however it kind of fell apart after that. On the first night the wife and I were laying in the bed hanging out. We decided to get up and shower and in moment my wife pulled the comforter back and we found bugs. We notified the front desk and a maintenance person and a manager came to our room and after a look they decided to move us to and upgraded room, gave us 100 dollar credit and they dry cleaned all the clothing we were wearing. I felt like their reaction was very appropriate at the time. Apparently the hotel staff did as well. The next day my wife and I went out for most of the day. When we came back the plan was to get ready for our dinner reservation. When we walked in room service had not come and I needed to request at least new towels so we could shower. They asked us to ensure we didnt have our do not disturb tag on the door which we didnt and I notified them were gone for most of the day. After 40 mins we at least got some towels. My wife and I had a nice dinner then returned back to our room. Again we were hanging for a bit then our room filled with the stank smell of weed coming from somewhere else on the floor. Pretty annoying again not the hotels fault but just added to the annoyances of our stay. We checked out today, we never heard from the manager again even though we were told they would let us know if the bugs were bed bugs or not. Just a disappointing trip for wife and I.

Everything was above and beyond what I expected. The service received from check in till check out. Mainly the service received from Jackson at front desk, from the moment when I was checking in. I’ve worked in customer service over 20 years and I believe that he’s an incredible asset to your company and would make a great assistant manager going to manager over time. Well maintained property, amazing location, everything the hotel has to offer and the restaurant was next level. And it was pet friendly, we were able to bring our 2 dogs to celebrate my wife’s birthday and ended up extending for another day, wanted to stay longer, but had to go back home and get back on schedule.

Would have been an incredible experience, amazing staff, environment, close to beach… Except! The room temperature stayed at 75. They make it seem like you can try and change the temp, at the thermostat, and briefly, it cools, but then, real quick, it regulates back to an unconscionable, humid, level temperature. I obviously tried having the door open, but of course, by the water, so mosquitoes were still coming in with the sheer curtain closed. They sent me up an industrial size fan, and the noise pollution was on par with being outside a busy airport. I regret sooo much, spending almost $2000, at a weekend resort where I can’t even stay in a room that can be cooled off by air conditioning. My goal was to relax, rest, get out of the heat and instead I left stressed, completely unrested and very frustrated.

We found our new spot for when we visit California! Loved being where all the action is but also having a relaxing and fun place to retreat. The Kimpton Shorebreak is a wonderful family friendly hotel and the staff went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. My 2yo son is still asking about wanting to go back to the “ten” (hotel) and I feel the same :)

I had a very comfortable 2 night stay. I attempted to book 2 more nights, but the hotel was sold out. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but the housekeeping service was quite slow. My room was not cleaned until around 4-5 pm, even though I had left at 8:15 in the morning for meeting.

Beautiful hotel and great staff! Loved the extra perks like the s'mores kits.

As an Expedia gold member I am used to receiving the room upgrade perks as it’s a main reason I booked this hotel. Upon arrival we were offered room upgrades of multiple types for additional amounts, I asked about my free room upgrade as it is listed as included if rooms were available, and based on me being offered room upgrades they were available. So, I will admit, that portion of our stay was disappointing. I would return and stay again, but would have like to see the vip amenities listed actually being provided.

The Shorebreak lives up to the Kimpton standard of being a cool, funky, and fun experience from beginning to end. The property is great and located right next to the pier. The lobby area is pretty amazing, with coffee at 6am sharp and tremendous sitting areas that I enjoyed every morning. Lots of amenities and very friendly staff. The restaurant is also very good with some of the best breakfasts - particularly at a hotel - I have had in a long time.

The staff members we interacted with were all very, very helpful. They made great suggestions and were very knowledgeable about the area and events. The restaurant was very good, too. Our one complaint was that there was only electrical access on one side of the bed, which made charging electronics awkward. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed the Kimpton in Huntington Beach. Great location across the street from the Pier and near many cafes and restaurants. We were on a coastal bike ride and this made the perfect stop for the night. Enjoyed the restaurant, happy hour reception and evening s’mores. Did not bring our dogs but enjoyed all the dogs at the facility, will bring them next time.

The Hotel was very closely located to Huntington Beach, and that's where we wanted to spend several days at. The rooms were very clean and the staff were friendly. It was a great stay for us and will definitely come back to this hotel in the future.

We wanted to try the property. It is better suited for families with kids and not adult get aways. The “Ocean View” room was only viewable if you stepped out on the balcony and leaned out. The room was very overpriced for what we got. HB isn’t the best for couples get aways as it’s loud and has a lot of bars in a small area. The property was clean and very nice but I was disappointed with everything else.

Omar and Daniel are awesome!!! We live local and love to come here for a break and recharge. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond. The access to chairs and beach stuff make packing so much easier. And the coffee bar in the morning is a nice extra touch.

Amazing hotel with exceptional amenities. The staff is super friendly and they take care of your every need. From the many games and activities in the lobby, to the complementary social hour drinks and the many loaner items, this hotel exceeded my every expectation. I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is.

The room was clean, bathroom seemed old, tiles were dirty on the wall. Basics were alright. The bed was too hard and lumpy in the pillow top. Pillows were too hard. Hard to open the curtain on the window due to a desk placed in front of it. I expected more from the restaurant. Would have like some variety for breakfast. We found a great place to go, would have preferred to eat there. All the dogs were the highlight. Didn’t get a chance to partake of the other guest amenities.

All the little extras that came with our stay really made our stay better. Nitro cold brew in the morning, happy hour and smores in the evening, then body boards and beach umbrellas to take with us to the beach, all made for a better stay than anticipated. Staff was super friendly as well.
- 5/5
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Super convenient location especially with the US Surfing Open going on. Staff was very friendly and super helpful. The only negative was at first our room had an odor. I’m pretty sure that the people prior to us had a dog - the room smelled of deodorizing chemicals. Other than that, we were happy with the stay and will definitely be back.

Great location at the end of the pier. They have an awesome vibe with beach gear, bikes, and surfboards that you can borrow as well.

I happened to see this property on Expedia and it was located exactly where my wife and I wanted to go for our 33rd anniversary. From the moment we arrived we were totally impressed with this [boutique] hotel. The layout, friendliness of the staff, great location to all things Huntington Beach, and the incredible ocean front room (417) added immensely to our anniversary getaway! This will now be our annual anniversary trip in August to get out of the Phoenix heat! Thanks to everyone there for making this a memorable trip!

We love this hotel and have had great stays previously. However this time, the room had a very loud hum noise throughout the night. It may have been the elevator shaft, or a generator, but it caused us all to have a terrible sleep. The staff weren’t very sympathetic to this on check out which actually ruined the stay for us.

This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We plan to visit again next summer. No hotel has ever stood out to us, it’s just a place to lay your head in between your actual plans. But this place was a vibe and a whole experience in itself. S’mores every night by fire pits, beach cruiser bikes, beach supplies to borrow, walking distance to the beach. Nicest staff, we needed a few deliveries to our room and they were efficient and prompt and seemed more than happy to help. Everything was 10/10.
