Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel

Our first time staying at Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel and it won’t be the last! From the moment we arrived, the level of service and hospitality was outstanding—thanks in large part to Jordan at the front desk. Jordan was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming, making check-in seamless and stress-free. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and well taken care of, answering all our questions with patience and a great attitude. It’s clear that Jordan takes pride in what she does, and her positive energy truly set the tone for our stay. Exceptional service like hers makes a lasting impression, and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend—and kudos to Jordan for representing the property so well

Good location. Beautiful room. Comfortable pillow. Good drinks (sunkissed and sinful) good food. I also like Carly alot. She is really nice and helpful

Shorebreak resort was fantastic for a business trip in beautiful Huntington. I was greeted by Carly upon arrival who went out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Both Carly and Kel helped me throughout my stay... Can't speak highly enough about their hospitality. Thank you both!

Carly and Anna were amazing. Super nice, friendly, very much up to the know in all things to do. Really wish I could have stayed an extra night or two. The hotel is fab. Can't wait to return.

Kimpton Shorebreak Resort has quickly become the exception in our usual loyalty to Marriott properties enough that we’re now seriously considering IHG as our first choice for future stays. This hotel consistently delivers the kind of thoughtful, hands-on hospitality that’s hard to find, especially in a busy beach city. The location is ideal: right across from the Huntington Beach Pier, a short 25-minute walk or quick 5-minute drive to the dog beach, and surrounded by everything you might need like CVS, restaurants, bars, and plenty of spots to wander. Pacific Hideaway offers a great brunch, and the resort-fee perks (bike rentals, beach chairs and towels, s’mores nights, wine hour) add a lot of value. We also loved the complimentary morning coffee and the seasonal cocoa bar, which felt surprisingly charming. One of the biggest reasons we return is how authentically dog-friendly this property is. Our corgi is part of our family, and Shorebreak truly treats her that way. There is no additional and exuberant pet fees, they provide bowls, allow pups to stay in the room when you go out and about (we always bring a crate), and Pacific Hideaway can even prepare a meal for your dog. Kyle A. was incredibly attentive and made breakfast easy and enjoyable for all of us. This stay was part of our joint 40th birthday celebration, and I have to highlight Jessica at the front desk. After a less-than-ideal late check-in on a previous visit two months ago, I messaged ahead. Jessica handled everything with clarity and confidence, confirmed our room was ready, and took it upon herself to upgrade us and leave a thoughtful welcome setup with a handwritten note. It wasn’t overdone just sincere, well-executed hospitality from someone who clearly cares about the guest experience. Her attention to detail set the tone for the entire stay. The text line team was just as efficient. Macie ensured we had dog bowls and the pet door sign ready in our room, and Axel reassured us our midnight arrival would be smooth. A couple of notes: you may still hear some noise from PCH or nearby nightlife if you’re sensitive to sound, and our top-floor room had occasional HVAC noise. The outlet placement could be more intuitive, but nothing impacted the overall comfort. In short, Kimpton Shorebreak has that rare mix of location, personality, and genuinely attentive service especially toward guests with pets. Thanks to experiences like this and standout staff like Jessica. For Huntington Beach, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
