Beautiful property with fantastic customer service. Loved the retro appointments throughout the Hotel. Even a record player in our room! Breakfast burro was very delish and setting on the patio in teh sun was a treat. Pop up bar was cool too. People really got dressed in ski wear just to enjoy the moment more. Beds were nice and bathrooms very clean and modern. Coming back!

Room was great, with a great view. Thee only downfall or complaints that have are: 1) Unable to open any windows to enjoy the ocean breeze!! 2) Their was no balcony to enjoy. 3) The thermostat is horrible, there was no option to turn a fan on for any air flow or use for white noise. The AC only came on intermittently set at 67 degrees…. This place has an amazing bar great food and so many amazing amenities. The staff at the front desk were extremely nice!! As well as the fellas at the valet. This was my 1st time staying at a Kimpton. I look forward to staying at more in the future…

The friendly front desk staff inquired about our reason for our stay. I told him it was our anniversary three weeks ago, but due to kids sports (football, football, and more football) we were finally able to get away and celebrate for the weekend. We found ourselves in a room with an ocean view and Friday night when we came back to the room, a bottle of champagne waiting by our bed. Definitely a nice touch. We love staying at this hotel due to its proximity to downtown Huntington Beach. Highly highly recommend this place!
