The Shorebreak lives up to the Kimpton standard of being a cool, funky, and fun experience from beginning to end. The property is great and located right next to the pier. The lobby area is pretty amazing, with coffee at 6am sharp and tremendous sitting areas that I enjoyed every morning. Lots of amenities and very friendly staff. The restaurant is also very good with some of the best breakfasts - particularly at a hotel - I have had in a long time.
