Super cool hotel just across the road from the beach and the iconic Huntington Beach Pier. The friendliest hotel staff I've ever encountered. Also, the most pet friendly place I've ever stayed. No pet fees, and they even take a polaroid of your pet and give them a complimentary toy. Not to mention, they also have record players in the rooms and a good selection of vinyl to choose from. Hands down my favorite hotel.

This hotel was super cute and steps from the beach! A ton of food choices are walkable and the restaurant/bar area in the hotel was beautiful. The staff was very kind and helpful. The hotel lets you rent scooters for the kids and there’s a record player in each room! There is a library of vinyls in the lobby. Highly recommend a stay here!

Great location so close to the beach and All of the local eateries!! Clean rooms with a balcony. Nice retro type vibes at the Boutique Hotel. Record players and old time sounds are some of the artifacts! A dog lovers paradise! The 4 legged pets are treated just as well as the human guests!! lol! Although I’m not a dog “lover” I did admire the care and concern of the staff and guests that had their pets .

The staff was very friendly. The beds were very comfortable. However, the toilet ran all night long, and housekeeping tried to enter our room twice the morning we checked out (hours before check out time). To call it an “ocean view” was very generous.

The bathroom is black and dark! One tiny mirror on a wall that could fit multiple mirrors. There are no windows. So you are trying to get ready and you can’t see yourself! Also the outlet is so far away from the tiny mirror that if you need to blow dry your hair you can’t see yourself to do it! Also when you turn the air conditioner on the vent is high up in front of the beds so it forcefully blows on your face. So if you want to sleep you either sweat or have hair blowing on your head. Not thank you. There are 2 necessities in a hotel…sleep and shower and get ready. Both a fail!

Hotel was exceptional. Very clean, great coffee and am set up with a hot cocoa bar. Very family friendly, we loved sitting every morning by the coffee and tea set up. The restaurant food choices were wonderful and we really enjoyed having lunch there one day. We loved doing the s’mores by the fire pit with my niece and nephew on our last night too. The location is 10/10 as we could walk to the outdoor shopping mall and the pier right across the street that has a beautiful walkway by the beach. I definitely need to stay here on my next visit back because the convenience, service and extras were just really exceptional. The whole surf vibe made this such a fun experience while also being extremely comfortable.

The room was beautiful, facing the pacific ocean with wonderful sunset views. Loved the record player and that we could borrow records from the front desk. The pop up they had on the outdoor patio was so cute, sadly due to a private event we couldn't enjoy it much. The social hour was great and very enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was good as were the cocktails. I wish the valet wasn't so expensive, but we were next to the beach so I guess that is to be expected. All in all I would come stay again in a heartbeat.

Amenities are delightful - welcome refreshments, s'mores kits, hot chocolate bar, fruit infused ice water carafes, scooters, bikes. Room service and carry out prices are the SAME for Pacific Hideaway! Staff are excellent. I gave 4 stars, because I pulled out the sofa bed, ready to collapse, and found no bedding. 3 phone calls and an hour later, bedding was delivered. I have never needed bedding delivered. Easy beach/pier walk.

The heater is blasting cold air. The technician says there is no Freon in the system and he can’t do anything. The front desk said they’d give us a new room, but when we were ready to move they said they sold the room to a new guest and all rooms were taken. We’ve slept with no air or heat. It was a bad experience last night. I can’t wait to get out of here.

We had an amazing time at this hotel. We definitely will be coming back. I’d give the staff 5 stars because the front desk staff was on point and so friendly. Daniel the bartender in the hotel bar is super awesome. The valet team were great. The only reason I gave the staff 4 stars was because the two bartenders in the ski lodge bar were beyond rude. Completely ignored me several times. It was so noticeable that a man behind me saw it and he and his friends decided to leave and take their money to another bar and so did I. Total shame cause the concept is cool.
Other than that we had an amazing time and there were so many amenities. We were super impressed!!

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!

There was no view of the beach from my room. Very disappointing. Their website would lead one to believe they were getting a beach view and the cost of the room was very excessive in my view. I did not have the breakfast, and I was provided with a coffee machine in my room, I just hope I wasn't charged extra for that..In the room, a $3.98 Snickers bar was $7.00. Just a bit over the line, don't you think. I loved the decor of surfing and the Privacy card was in the shape of a surfboard. They would not put my son's phone through to me. That night, a lovely desk attendant made a note on my file and the next day the call went through. First day was upsetting as he had to come to the hotel to see if I was ok.
