The staff members we interacted with were all very, very helpful. They made great suggestions and were very knowledgeable about the area and events. The restaurant was very good, too. Our one complaint was that there was only electrical access on one side of the bed, which made charging electronics awkward. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

Stop over in Huntington

We enjoyed the Kimpton in Huntington Beach. Great location across the street from the Pier and near many cafes and restaurants. We were on a coastal bike ride and this made the perfect stop for the night. Enjoyed the restaurant, happy hour reception and evening s’mores. Did not bring our dogs but enjoyed all the dogs at the facility, will bring them next time.

The hotel was really quite lovely. We did find that the hotel was somewhat to the younger generation. We are in our 70s and we’re not always early risers. We ended up with a room on the inside of the hotel. There’s a lovely courtyard in the middle of the hotel Except they start playing music at 9 o’clock in the morning and we are not up that early next time we now know to ask for a room on the outside of the hotel and that will serve that purpose. They also have people down in the courtyard making s’mores playing games and whatever which is lovely for the younger kids and people that like to party. We figured out that the next time we need to ask for a room that faces the city or on the other side of the hotel and then we won’t have a problem. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We wanted to try the property. It is better suited for families with kids and not adult get aways. The “Ocean View” room was only viewable if you stepped out on the balcony and leaned out. The room was very overpriced for what we got. HB isn’t the best for couples get aways as it’s loud and has a lot of bars in a small area. The property was clean and very nice but I was disappointed with everything else.

Omar and Daniel are awesome!!! We live local and love to come here for a break and recharge. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond. The access to chairs and beach stuff make packing so much easier. And the coffee bar in the morning is a nice extra touch.
