Purchased my voucher from Spreebird and paid $169 plus $28 tax a while ago and finally used it before expiration date. Checked in on Sat (2/11/12) for one night stay. At check in, we were told that the hotel will be conducting complimentary wine tastings betweens 5 to 6 pm. We were excited. We had 2 glass of red wine... More

Dear 167Eric, I just got done reviewing your comments regarding the situation during our "Wine Hour" on Saturday night. Please accept my humble apology if you were under the assumption that we were being "bias". Please understand that our "Wine Hour" is very popular with our guests. This past weekend, we had between 50 and 100 people attend the event.... More

This hotel was beautiful and the staff made us feel very welcome. Everything about the design of the place flowed so well and looked amazing. The courtyard with the firepits was awesome, and they have a free wine tasting at 5:00 for all guests in the lobby! We were fortunate enough to have valet parking included with our room and... More

Usually stay in Newport Beach, CA but dicided to stay in Huntington Beach instead at the Shorebreak Hotel which is really right across the street from the beach. Hotel and restaurant are great but when I reserved the room they had an option to upgrade your room at check in to a better view room at a reasonable rate. Check... More

The location is excellent, the parking is expensive (but necessary) however if you are a member of Joie de Vivre they have great deals, which we used (and I think the membership is free). The room was nicely done, the ambience and the restaurant a little overly stylish (they are playing at environmentalist this year - ie fancy imported BOTTLED... More

This is the greatest location in Huntington, on the Strand for shopping and right on the water. The ocean view suites are well worth it! Very hipster surfer decor, but not pretentious at all, like the city itself. Have stayed here 4 times, each time the service has improved. With laid back SoCal, sometimes you get laid back service. However,... More

Stayed for 5 nights with wife and two young daughters to explore the beaches and museums (Getty Villa & Museum) along the PCH (Torrey Pines to Santa Barbara). From front desk personnel, housekeeping, to valet attendants, their service rivaled many 5 star hotels we’ve stayed in the US and abroad. They even provided beach toys for our kids. Great rooms...
