Great location!

Love the Shorebreak concept, but the hotel fell a bit short. The rooms and common areas were a bit tired, a bit worn. Staff was friendly, and location awesome. Parking was spendy.

LOVE Shorebreak

Fantastic location, staff was SUPER friendly and helpful, rooms are huge and beds comfy, the bathroom was massive, the bathtub was bigger than my compact rental car, courtyard with fire pits were nice, there is an overall coolness and nice vibe throughout the hotel. My only ifs and buts... Parking is expensive :( Our balcony was great, but directly overlooked the restaurant beneath, it wasn't horrible, just weird. We can't wait to come back here again!

Beautiful Fun Clean Comfy Hotel

I just love this hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. We brought our two little kiddos and had a wonderful time. I didn't see any other families there but didn't feel out of place. Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating. I'll definitely be back again...next time I will be hitting up the free wine happy hour too.

Beautiful location; excellent service

My 20 year old son transferred schools to Santa Ana and I went out to help him set up his apartment. I stayed at The Shorebreak since it was right on the beach and I was not disappointed. The room was lovely, the service very good and the front desk staff extremely friendly. Huntington Beach is beautiful and I look forward to returning as soon as I can.

A Magical Christmas

From the moment we set foot in the hotel I knew we had chosen the right spot. We were greeted with a glass of wine. The staff was incredibly friendly and at every moment made us feel completely at home. Our every request was met within minutes. My daughter was worried Santa might not find us in a hotel, but the staff assured her that he had the Shorebreak on his GPS. I can't say enough good things about our stay.

Great location right across from the beach. We had an ocena view which was very nice. CVS on the corner was convenient and it was an easy walk to Starbucks, a must for me.

Great Location near Beach

Really enjoyed the stay at this hotel. The location is great - right across the street from the Huntington Beach Pier and near the main street where there were plenty of restaurants and clubs to choose from. The staff was always helpful and friendly. The room had a great view of the beach and the ocean. The family loved it. The only negative is the cost of parking. We had to pay $36 for two nights in the parking garage. After that we found a spot on the street for free.
