Would have been an incredible experience, amazing staff, environment, close to beach… Except! The room temperature stayed at 75. They make it seem like you can try and change the temp, at the thermostat, and briefly, it cools, but then, real quick, it regulates back to an unconscionable, humid, level temperature. I obviously tried having the door open, but of course, by the water, so mosquitoes were still coming in with the sheer curtain closed. They sent me up an industrial size fan, and the noise pollution was on par with being outside a busy airport. I regret sooo much, spending almost $2000, at a weekend resort where I can’t even stay in a room that can be cooled off by air conditioning. My goal was to relax, rest, get out of the heat and instead I left stressed, completely unrested and very frustrated.
Had an uninvited guest-6 inch “water bug” that came out around 1 am. Looked like a bat flying around. Maintenance killed it and FO was unable to find me another room. So, no rest w/ the non-adjustable thermostat and knowing these are lurking.

We found our new spot for when we visit California! Loved being where all the action is but also having a relaxing and fun place to retreat. The Kimpton Shorebreak is a wonderful family friendly hotel and the staff went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. My 2yo son is still asking about wanting to go back to the “ten” (hotel) and I feel the same :)

I had a very comfortable 2 night stay. I attempted to book 2 more nights, but the hotel was sold out. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but the housekeeping service was quite slow. My room was not cleaned until around 4-5 pm, even though I had left at 8:15 in the morning for meeting.

We loved the property and our stay. The unique record players and vinyl library were an excellent touch and you can’t miss with pacific hideaways offerings. As an Expedia gold member I am used to receiving the room upgrade perks as it’s a main reason I booked this hotel. Upon arrival we were offered room upgrades of multiple types for additional amounts, I asked about my free room upgrade as it is listed as included if rooms were available, and based on me being offered room upgrades they were available. So, I will admit, that portion of our stay was disappointing. I would return and stay again, but would have like to see the vip amenities listed actually being provided.
