4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

We were visting my son and hoped for someplace where we could have a more intimate gathering than a restaurant. The interior courtyard of the Shorebreak with its "intimate fireplace pits" (there are 3; each separated by landscaping to create privacy) was perfect for relaxing with wine and cheese, while getting a chance to catch up. The hotel staff was... More

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here at Huntington Beach. The employees were awesome, courteous, and extremely helpful! The facility was excellent and the location was perfect. We were so glad to have found this place to stay for 2 nights.

Took my husband there for an overnight stay for his Birthday. This was our first time there and I can say this will not be our last. The staff was super friendly but very professional. The whole place was super clear, upscale decor but totally laid back atmosphere. The room was nicely decorated with small details such as "How to... More

Didja ever stay someplace where the staff acted inattentive, snobby, rude, lazy or invisible? Well, how good are you at superlative antonyms? From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, everyone at Shorebreak helped us feel right at home. In fact, BETTER than right at home, because nobody ever seems to be having a bad day.

We've stayed at the Shorebreak before and I was disappointed this time. Dogs barking all night while their owners are out, wireless was unavailable unless I sat in the lobby, Marissa at front desk was awful. Location is still great but for the price, will look elsewhere.

Staying at the Shorebreak in Huntington Beach was the highlight of our trip. The hotel and amenities are upscale but the vibe is totally relaxed. The front desk personnel were wonderful and spot on with their restaurant recommendations, but Mike and Gus went out of there way to make our first visit in HB memorable. An ocean view room is...

We had a great time staying two nights at the Shorebreak Hotel. We went because it is pet-friendly and near the wonderful pet-friendly, Huntington Beach Dog Beach. The hotel was beautiful, clean, hip, and all the staff were wonderful. They also had great live music on Sunday night, and the restaurant had delicious food. We had dinner there both nights... More

This place ROCKS! We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this hotel and greeted by the friendliest, most accommodating valet. The hotel is clean, nicely decorated, pet friendly and the staff definitely understands the meaning of hospitality. We love Huntington Beach and now Shorebreak is included in our top hotels list.
