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

My boyfriend and I sppent the night with our 10 month old Australian Shepherd. From the time we checked in everyone was super friendly to us and everyone asked if they could him and offer him a treat. The hotel was super clean and we had a great ocean view. We will stay here again.

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. Well, I thought why not stay at the hotel. I compared with the Hyatt regency and they offered me their best suite, less if I paid in advance,... More

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. The dog friendly patio bar... More

What a great hotel. Right next to the ocean, new rooms, HUGE bathrooms, and a friendly guest staff are major reasons to stay here. The restaurant was surprisingly good, too. We visited during the end of 'winter,' when the daily temperature struggled to hit 65º, so the hotel is probably that much better when it's warm and you can enjoy... More

We stayed here during a 3 week trip across the States and I have to say it was one of the most underwhelming hotels that we stayed in. The rooms are clean, new and modern, however, you have to pay for absolutely everything; water, wifi and parking. The location is good, but other than that there's really not much more... More
