The Kimpton is not as advertised. It's not a "resort" and is not beachfront. It's a small boutique hotel in a strip mall type setting, no pool or spa, and you'll need to cross the four lane PCH Hwy to get to the beach. Try the Hyatt, or Hilton a few blocks away. Hyatt has an amazing pool area for kids, and separate areas for the adults restaurants, etc.

Fun Hotel Stay!

This is a fun, hip hotel. The vibe is mid-century modern. Fun music at night, some mores by the patio campfire and a complimentary wine happy hour each night! The restaurant in the hotel was very good. Each room also has a record player and the front desk has an archive of records you can borrow! Our only complaint was that parking is NOT complimentary and costs $36-$40 per night depending on whether you use valet assistance.
