Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach Resort by IHG

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Valeted my vehicle ($45/day) and walked everywhere. This location is insane. You are literally across the street from the pier. Even though our room had no ocean view, we could just walk out front and see it. S’mores was a fun thing to do with my daughter. One block away from the Surf Nights on Tuesday. Worth going, busy but good food and cute vendors. I could not have been happier with this stay. Beds are comfy, bathroom had a big shower and a huge soaking tub. It’s cool you can borrow bikes. Coffee in the mornings was great. The employees are so nice and helpful. And it was cool to play records from the collection they have in our room. I don’t understand how this place gets less than stellar reviews. Will stay again if ever back this way!

Ideal location for beach lovers looking to lay low and relax. The ocean front rooms are really cozy and roomy and the staff are friendly and helpful. Fire pits, ping pong and bikes and beach gear are available to enjoy. Nightly wine/beer/soda reception is a nice touch as is the infused water available 24/7.

This hotel was nice but a few things I’d like to point out. First one being the service was pretty good, but could use some adjusting. I was told we could leave our luggage with the front desk and would receive a text when our room was ready. Unfortunately that text never came so we went to the beach for a few hours without any of our stuff. Not the end of end world, but would be nice to at of least gotten a text if our room was ready before 5pm so we could change comfortably. Secondly, I can’t express enough how disgusting the elevator smelled from the ground level to get into the lobby. Smelled like a mix of feces and vomit. Once you get into the lobby though it’s beautiful and smells great. Someone needs to look into that because it was unbearable. Lastly, the rooms are pretty basic for what you pay. I get the location is amazing but the rooms could use some TLC. The shower head was so powerful it hurt our skin. There are no outlets next to the bed which I found very strange. The TV would not let me watch cable unless I downloaded chrome cast to my phone. Aside that, seemed to be pretty clean and had a comfy bed. Overall, I’d say this is a nice hotel, but feel it could use a few tweaks. This was for our anniversary, I’d of hoped we could have gotten a better room with a nicer view but nonetheless enjoyed our stay.
