Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel

I made my reservations directly at the hotel through Jordan at the front desk. She was very welcoming and genuinely cared about my stay and helping me to have a very positive experience with my dog. Thank you Jordan for the cherished memories at the kimpton in an oceanview room. I will never forget you! Kind regards Nancy Carroll

This is an updated review after we’ve had a couple more stays here as a family. The vibe is fantastic and the hotel has an incredibly friendly, tenured staff. The location is fantastic and the hotel is very much a reflection of the community that it resides in, this is uncanny, and very rare! And I have now been corrected by my sister, the record players in the rooms actually work! They are not “nonsensical” decorations that take up space” as I had previously mentioned on an older review that I have now deleted, my bad! The water pressure isn’t great in the showers, but so be it. They blame this on “California code”, but I’ve stayed at dozens of other hotels within California with no issue. But that said, it’s not a dealbreaker. You can’t go wrong booking here if you want to stay in Huntington Beach. They have free afternoon beer and wine etc. - who else does that?! They also are very pet friendly. I apologize for the review that I did a year and a half ago; it was not thoughtful. I’m grateful for this neighborhood hotel and I highly recommend it.

All the staff at Kimpton Shorebreak were top notch but Ana and Jordan set the stage and were more than accommodating and helpful, thanks so much ladies you two made our stay memorable and hope to visit again!

From the moment we walked in and had an encounter with Anna at the front desk- the experience just kept getting better and better. The availability of room options, the amenities, the dining experiences. I would return here over and over again over the local competition. The hospitality and accommodations are off the chain! Not to mention the ocean view room. 😍😍😍

This place is built for hanging out! ping pong, games, and social vibes with happy hours running all day. The staff is awesome, the restaurant and bar are solid, and you’re right next to all the action. I stayed in a studio suite and the room was super clean with a soaking tub and a Dyson hair dryer, which was a nice upgrade from the usual hotel setup. Easily the best IHG hotel I’ve ever stayed at and an easy yes for a return trip.
