Scene
Laid-back surf vibe that's popular with business travelers and international tourists
The biggest selling point of this 157-room property is its prime location across from the beach, and its laid-back luxury vibe. Its heavy emphasis on surfing-related art contribute to its coastal ambiance. The lobby has low ceilings and bamboo furniture with bright upholstery in turquoise and green, and there are plenty of little seating areas throughout the hotel, including an outdoor terrace garden. The walls in common areas feature art from local and renowned artists and surf photographers, and each guest room has its own 3D surf scene installation over the room number. The hotel is popular with international tourists, but also gets its fair share of corporate guests, owing primarily to its large business center and variety of meeting rooms.
Location
Right across the street from the beach in a pedestrian-friendly part of town
The Shorebreak is located right across the street from Huntington Beach, a two-minute walk to the end of the pier. There's a Mexican restaurant and coffeeshop on one side of the hotel and a few surf shops on the other. The area is pedestrian-friendly, with plenty of places to eat and shop within close walking distance. Orange County's John Wayne Airport is a 23-minute drive away without traffic.
Rooms
Smallish, bright rooms with big showers and flat-screen TVs
The rooms at the Shorebreak Hotel run a bit small, and are equipped with flat-screen TVs. Room furniture is made of light-colored wood and beds have fluffy white comforters and blue, white, and grey plaid headboards.
