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.

Great Stay

We wanted to get away and relax and the hotel was very comfortable and in a great location to walk to restaurants and shops. The young woman that checked us in knew that we wanted to have sushi for dinner and recommended a great place in walking distance. The bed was so comfortable and the robes very cozy.

Excellent Hotel- Great Stay!

The hotel was fabulous within walking distance to the beach. Literally across the street. It shares the block with countless beach stores and shops, great restaurants and the famous Huntington Beach Pier. The rooms were fantastic, huge tubs, showers for two and LCD flat-screens in the bedroom and living room areas. The bar and restaurant are also top notch. All that was missing was a pool, but the beach is right there for a quick dip.

Walk across the street to Dukes for lunch or dinner at the beginning of the pier and for breakfast walk to the end of the pier to ruby's. You won't be disappointed with either - great views and food!

Shorebreak Hotel, A Joie De Vivre Hotel

Amazing location one block from the pier in Huntington Beach. Extremely friendly staff. Requested an upgrade upon arrival and they accomodated us. Needed sheets and bedding for sofa bed and hospitality staff not only brought it to us, but made the bed. Everything was brand new and top quality. Would definitely return to this location.
