The best located hotel, one with a club like atmosphere
Pros:

This is the best located accommodation in Huntington Beach. One block to all amenities and over the road from the pier. Every day there is a free happy hour of various wines and cocktails which makes the outdoor courtyard setting feel like a club

Cons:

It's fairly expensive

Perfect

The best stay I have ever had at any hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were super clean and everything seemed new, cool amenities like the outdoor lounge with fire pits. The location is perfect right across from the beach and a dog bakery. Dog beach nearby and incredibly accommodating with our dogs. They provided food and water bowls, toys and treats.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was awesome. we enjoyed our stay and had a great staycation. Nothing bad to say about the Kimpton Huntington. Love love loved it.

Terrible Customer service
Pros:

Wow. The staff at this place is embarrassing.
They sealed the deal. I will never come back.
After booking my trip and paying in full online, when my family arrived they recharged us 1100 dollars. When we asked why, they said we hadn't paid. So we showed them the receipt and logged into the online banking and showed them we paid 100 percent upfront a week ago. Then it was
"oh the employee made a mistake. But rest assured you were refunded" its a week now with them holding my money.
We dealt with the managers after almost begging to speak a to them. They're never available and will almost always claim they re in meeting.
I would like my 1100 bucks back.

They are blaming my bank and I have verified with them multiple times. Not to mention I have used this bank 3 or 4 other times at this dump. Never had an issue. Give me my money back.

A lively and fun family friendly destination.
Pros:

Beach Front. Right above HQ Gastropub when you need it. This is a beautiful modern and lively hotel and hotel experience. The rooms are immaculate and being close to the beach and the pier is always a plus main street is just around the corner and the beach is just across the street.

Cons:

A bit pricey but beach close is premium.
