I stayed at this hotel from May 29 -June 1, 2012 I was by myself for work. The location was great and I enjoyed my evening walks on the beach. I liked it better than the much larger chain hotels. The service couldn't be beat and it was very clean and inviting. The bed provided me with a great night... More

On our trip to Hungtinton Beach (March 2012) at the last minute we decided to stay at the Shorebreak Hotel. Our family was more than pleasantly surprised with every aspect of this hotel; from the modern, trendy decor, fabulous shopping right outside the front entrance, to being less than one block from the beach, but what we were most impressed...

We chose this hotel beacuse of all the great reviews, so had high expectations. I would say the hotel is "good" but not great - pleasant outside seating area and nice guest rooms which are separated so that you have a sleeping area and a small lounge. Really lovely bathroom. Nice touch to have free wine tastings from 5 to... More

We booked this hotel on a visit to our son who lives in nearby Costa Mesa. Our experience at the Shorebreak was wonderful. We were there in January but we were lucky in that the weather was incredibly warm and beautiful while we were there. The beaches were active with surfers and volleyball players. The Shorbreak is a short walk... More

I really loved this hotel. It has its own unique character, very classy, clean, airy - from the moment you arrive, you know that this is not a chain hotel. Its ambience is enhanced because it fits in perfectly with the surf meme of Huntington Beach and surrounds. It is right on Pacific Coast Highway, with a view of the... More

We loved this hotel! From the minute we booked it online we couldn't wait to visit. Our expectations were far exceeded. The staff went above and beyond for us- I actually told my husband I felt like a celebrity while staying there because the hospitality was so great.

We stayed 2 nights while visiting friends in HB. From the moment you walk through the lobby you notice how modern and beautifully decorated the hotel is. Beautiful beach and surf photography, Hawaiian inspired modern decor, a surf inspired movie playing on the wall from a hidden projector, you totally get the beach experience. Service at check in was friendly... More
