Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach Resort an IHG Hotel, Huntington Beach

Very good

Liked: Location!
Disliked: Not so much about the property itself but being bombarded by political rallies for two days was too much. Didn’t feel safe in the vicinity.

Exceptional

Liked: I was traveling with my 27 year-old adult special-needs son who is in a wheelchair and the hotel and the entire staff was very, very accommodating/ friendly was very pleased with the entire visit.

I definitely enjoyed this hotel...

Liked: We spent the night to celebrate our son's 13th bday. We were welcomed with mini cheesecakes that my son assumed were for him and felt special. The roomWas big and worth it. The hotel itself, beautiful. And it was literally across the street from the pier!! My husband and I agreed we would be returning us two to take advantage of the hotel bar and city.The jarritos was a nice touch for the kids !
Disliked: FYI, if you have young kids, the snacks in the room readily available to the kids as a temptation. And they are pricey! And something to know is that the rooms do not come with microwaves.

Great accommodations just steps from...

Liked: The Shorebreak Hotel boasts an unparalleled location, mere steps from the iconic Huntington Beach Pier and just off Pacific Coast Highway, placing us in the heart of the action. While our initial room assignment was unfortunately not usable upon arrival, the hotel manager promptly addressed the situation and relocated us to another room.Our room featured a comfortable layout with a distinct seating area separate from the bedroom, and a spacious bathroom. A unique amenity was the inclusion of a turntable stereo, accompanied by a selection of vinyl records available in the lobby for guests' listening pleasure.A key factor in our hotel choice was its dog-friendly policy, a welcome feature for travelers with canine companions. The proximity to Huntington Dog Beach and the prevalence of dog-friendly establishments in the area further enhanced the appeal. While we did not have the opportunity to dine at the hotel's bar/bistro, its popularity was evident.
Disliked: While the configuration of our room (402) provided ample space for both sleeping and relaxing, the advertised "Garden View" was unfortunately obscured by a climbing wall directly outside the window. Additionally, the window's placement primarily illuminated the bedroom area, leaving the separate seating area quite dim. This necessitated the use of artificial lighting throughout the day, which somewhat detracted from the overall ambiance.
