Chic & cool Hotel

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Oct 2017via mobile
This was 5th return visit to the hotel. The remodel of the public area is gorgeous.
The staff are wonderful and quickly reacted to a slight problem in the room.
The rooms are roomy especially the bathrooms.
Rooms with a sea view make you feel you are on the beach .
The location is perfect to Main street, the new shopping and restaurants complex and of course the beach.
I will definitely return to this hotel and has always been excellent.
The reason I have scored a 4 is there is no free Wifi in the hotel even in the public areas. Huntington Beach is a small place ,so as a foreign visitor you struggle to get free WiFi ( hard to recheck research for your adventures out of the hotel)

This Kimpton is the perfect hotel for the beach, for Disney, for business, for vacation, whatever you choose. The location is perfect for everything and the rooms are ideal. I stayed in a beach view room which was just beautiful. Where the hotel is raised up from the street, the rooms start at the height of the palm trees so you feel like you're in California the second you wake up and open the curtains! Palms, beach and the stunning Pacific Ocean. The rooms are beautifully decorated and equipped - in typical Kimpton style! - and have the signature Kimpton robes too. The staff are so very helpful, and so very surf cool. Like everything you've ever seen on TV of surfer cool, these guys exude it. Charming, warm and helpful, and so far from "in your face" it's unbelievable. I loved it.

Needless to say, the property is breathtaking. In true Kimpton fashion, the decor was hip, the amenities top notch, and the location is across the street from the beach and one block away from the nightlife. I was there for a conference, but it felt like a vacay. Had a great rendition of huevos rancheros while sitting on the patio and watching the waves. Rode one of their complimentary bikes. And played ping pong. But alas, I managed to forget my newly purchased MAC cosmetics in the room upon checkout. Jose from Housekeeping returned my initial call and informed me it had not been found. But upon me calling back Monday, Jose called me once again and offered to pay for my lost products. It's this high class of service and response that make the Kimpton brand one of the best in the world.

I can't say enough good things about this property. It made me an instant (and forever) fan of the Kimpton Hotels brand. From the decor, to the hospitality, the food & beverages, to amenities, the list just goes on and on with how exceptional my stay was at The Shorebreak. I was there for a onsite conference and I can see why the organizers picked this venue for our 3-day event -- the room where our daily meeting was held was so comfortable, they spoiled us with delicious food, and at night we could relax by the fire pits and then rest in comfortable spacious rooms. Although it's just a skip away from the beach, I wanted to stay at the hotel the whole time because it was just so relaxing and chic. Every interaction I had with the front desk staff was exceptional, I wish I had written down all of their names as every single person that works there was a delight and deserves kudos. Free wine & s'mores are just the icing on the splendid Shorebreak cake. I hope to be back sooner than later. If you need to stay in/near Huntington Beach, look no further!

Room tip: If you're not happy with your room the staff is likely to accommodate your until you are!

So we fled to California from Miami and was pretty happy that we came across this hotel on the net! It was also our anniversary so we had a nice bottle of bubbly and chocolates on arrival. The staff were all lovely and friendly and we really loved the relaxed nautical vibe of the hotel. The hotel doesn't need a pool as it's right on the beach and you are provided with body boards, deck chairs, towels and even sun lotion. We made sure we were back in time for wine hour where you get FREE wine and can enjoy this over the fire pits all snug! We loved the location and would definitely come back here again! Thank you
