Great Staff and Service

Thomas and Abby were great at the front desk Great gym and hasty hour. Close to restaurants and beach. Love the classic albums.

Rooms are quiet and AC was wonderful for rare humid night in So Cal. Good size bathroom and TVs support chromecast

milton1976,

Appreciate the shoutout to Thomas and Abby, I will be sure to pass along to them. We just recently added the record players to our guestrooms so our guests can enjoy some music while they relax. We have a selection of other records at the desk that can be borrowed as well. Hope to see you back soon.

Cheers,

Traveling up and down the California coast. This is one of my favorite stops. Pet friendly, and wonderful staff. A world class Ocean view, wine hour. Q Martin, the front office manager, goes out of his way, as well as his staff to make each and every guest feel welcome, whether 2 legs or 4. I highly recommend if you’re coming to Huntington, this is to be your hotel location.

alesha000,

Thanks for the shout out to Q and his team, hotel wouldn't be what it is without them. We do love our furry guest as much as our others, hope you saw our VIP board by the front desk with our special friends staying with us. Come back soon.

We spent five days at The Kimpton Hotel and it is a niche hotel that surprises. From the moment that you arrive you know that you are in a hotel where hospitality is the name of the game and all of the staff go out of their way to make sure that you are taken care of. We requested a room change after the first night and it was dealt with efficiently and pleasantly. The hotel has lots of nice touches - water and lemonade in the lobby, a drinks hour early evening, s’mores by the fires at night, coffee in the morning, a beach pack to tote across the road to the beach. The hotel also allows dogs and I was amazed to see a plethora of very well behaved pooches. The restaurant has a nice vibe as does the bar. If you are looking for quiet, the rooms are not for you as they all face outwards either onto street areas or the PCH. There is also no swimming pool. One minus for me was the constant loud music played throughout the public spaces. It seems to be a trend now and I wish that hotels would rethink it. There was no quiet place to escape to, to just sit and read and unwind.

2btravelb,

Hospitality is definitely our game and we play it to win. I am glad we were able to take care of you and get you into a room that better situated you. You are right we do not have a pool, but we have all you need to enjoy the big one across the street. Hope to see you back soon.

Got away with Hubby during a BUSY Labor Day Weekend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! Shorebreak was exactly what we needed to reconnect, recuperate, and relax with one another. As soon as we walked in we instantly felt relaxed- the atmosphere was fresh and welcoming. The front desk welcomed us kindly and we LOVED that our room was on the 4th floor with a view of the Huntington Pier! Speaking of the room it was amazing! From the layout to the BATHROOM! Double headed shower & huge soaker tub are LIFE! The vibes at Shorebreak are very hospitable- from happy hour to s’mores with your loved ones ... everything was picturesque. You really can’t be the resorts proximity to the beach and Main Street. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Shorebreak! Oh yeah they even spoiled us with a special surprise for our anniversary!

Britsters05,

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for choosing to celebrate with us. Sounds like you got spoiled while you were here, you can't beat the bathrooms with the deep soaking tubs and bath salt to start a relaxing stay. Add some good tunes on the record player, what more can you ask for. Come back soon.

This was our second time staying here and let me tell you we are never disappointed. We got double booked on accident and the manager called us to let us know we’ll before the trip. Since they didn’t have another a suite equal to what we reserved he upgraded us to the presidential suite! This room was amazing! The best part was that they remembered me saying it was my birthday weekend and when I came back into the room there was two glasses salted up, margaritas and chips with salsa and guacamole! We love it here and will always choose to stay here, there is no comparison!

Just got back for a one night staycation at the Kimpton shorebreak resort and we loved it!

The hotel is across the street from the beach and they are dog friendly ! They don’t charge extra for bringing your Furbabies. The location is very convenient. Lots of restaurant nearby and couple blocks down there’s a plaza with lots of store to shop.

You can borrow beach chairs, towel, even bicycles and helmet. And if you forgot toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream... etc they have it all. Just ask the front desk!

We got the ocean front king bed and the room is spacious! Not to mention the giant bathroom ! They got a huge tub and they even provide bath salts for you.

The restaurant is at the lobby level and you can dine with your dogs sitting on the patio area. Reservation is strongly recommended. We didn’t make a reservation and wait time is about 15-30 min. We ended up having all three of our meals there since it’s very convenient with our 2 dogs.

They provide coffee in the morning and beer in the afternoon plus s’mores time at 5pm. Plenty of games and sitting area at the lobby level for you and your family. And there’s always water in the lobby and a water bowl for the Furbabies.

Since it’s right across the street from the beach it can get noisy. The room has Dohm (noise machine) and it works pretty well.

We love our room and so did our two babies and will definitely be back !

Wow! You're making me blush. The staff is going to be thrilled to read your review. When you return, we just added record players to our room, so you can fill up that bath with some bath salts and relax with your choice of tunes.
