This was a nice hotel in the heart of Huntington Beach. We started off on a great foot when Jill walked over to the restaurant we were invited to along with our little puppy, she gave us the exciting news that we could check into our room early (thanks to her help). She is such an asset to this hotel,... More

This was my first stay at this property and while I would return, there were a couple of things that kept it from being great. For one, it is on the main drag of Huntington Beach so there is a lot of noise at all hours, much of it from Harley Davidson motorcycles and young partiers. It has a hip,... More

Stayed at the Shorebreak from April 20 - 25. This is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed in. I had a one bedroom room with a courtyard view. The view was what I expected & I think you either go for the courtyard view and quiet, or the oceanview rooms, which face the street or the PCH, which could potentially... More

The rooms are comfortable and have that surfer feel to them. If you're looking for privacy, the king suite is not the way to go. It provides a separate sleeping area, but only a partial wall between it and the living room. (For example, changing the channels on the t.v. with the remote in the living room, also changes the...

Stayed her for an industry event. Very chic, beach-cool property. Awesome location - across from the beach, lots within walking distance. Tuesday nights they do a street fair which is really fun. Hotel is perfect for it's location - beach themed, casual with great service and wonderful food. The only downside is that the restaurant is closed in the early... More

The Joie de Vivre Hotel Family has kept a roof over my family's head for many years, and our family love staying with them whenever we can, because when you walk in the door of a Joie de Vivre Hotel, you are welcomed in as family.

I recently stayed at the Shorebreak for a brief work trip and thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. The decor is modern and posh. It's clean. The rooms are well-appointed. There's a wine happy hour daily, from 5 pm to 6 pm. The staff are professional. And, best of all, it's across the street from the beach, where I had a... More

This is a very special hotel. We are locals here in Huntington Beach and I wanted just one night to celebrate my husband's 60th bday at our fav Happy Hour bar, Zimzala.

We stayed here for a week for my son's wedding. It's right across the street from the beach and right in the MIDDLE of it all in Huntington Beach. Convenient valet parking and really you'd never have to drive anywhere as all the restaurants, shopping, services, scene are within short walking distance. For that matter.
