Overall, I had a pretty good time at the Shore Hotel, thanks to the fantastic location and the really good service from the staff. The rooms were modern and clean, but my room was a bit on the small side and faced some noise issues that really detracted from my stay. The valet service was efficient, but I did notice some extra fees that caught me off guard.

Rooms

6.0

My room was nicely decorated and spotless, but it felt cramped and the noise from nearby rooms could get disruptive. Plus, the view wasn’t as scenic as I hoped due to constraints like the roof blocking it. The bathroom design was a bit odd with the sliding door and open shower concept.

Service

10.0

The staff here really made my experience special—their friendliness and willingness to help were great. Veronica at the front desk was particularly amazing, going out of her way to make my stay more enjoyable. It felt personal, like they truly wanted me to have a great time.

Honestly, the location couldn’t be better! Right across from the beach and close to great shops and restaurants, it made exploring super easy. The pool area was inviting too.

Breakfast was a bit of a mixed bag for me; while the food itself was good, it was a la carte, and I wasn’t too impressed with the service during peak hours. There were moments when I was waiting longer than I’d liked.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel had some nice facilities, but there were ongoing renovations that added a bit of commotion to the experience. The outdoor pool area was nice, especially with bike rentals available to explore the beachfront, though it could've been quieter.

5.0/10

My stay at Shore Hotel was a mixed bag. On the upside, I loved the comfortable bed and beautiful view from my room; the location can't be beaten, just steps from the pier and shops. However, I had issues with the service, and the pool area left much to be desired, feeling cramped and noisy at times.

Rooms

6.0

I stayed in a partial ocean view room, which was nicely appointed with great linens but had limited storage and a basic hairdryer. The sound insulation was decent though, ensuring a good night's sleep.

Service

5.0

The staff were generally polite but didn't make me feel particularly welcomed. I had to follow up on housekeeping during my stay and found some of the interactions a bit lackluster.

Location

You really can't beat the location—it's right across from the Santa Monica Pier and near 3rd Street Promenade. Perfect for exploring the area!

Dining

5.0

Dining options were limited, with just the Pantry to eat from, and it didn't feel upscale or inviting. I wish there had been more variety available on-site.

Facilities

5.0

The pool area was nice but quite small and often crowded, which detracted from the relaxation factor. It could use more space and a better vibe.

I had a fantastic stay at Shore Hotel, particularly enjoyed the amazing oceanfront view from my upgraded room. However, the breakfast offerings were quite limited, and there were some plumbing issues that needed attention. Overall, the experience was enhanced by the friendly staff and excellent location across from the Santa Monica Pier.

I recently stayed at Shore Hotel and had mixed feelings about my experience. The ocean view from my room was stunning, but the room itself felt smaller than expected. While the location was perfect for exploring Santa Monica, I faced long wait times during check-in, which dampened my arrival. The friendly staff definitely enhanced my stay, though some aspects of service were lacking.

Rooms

I opted for an Ocean View Premier room, and the views were amazing. though I was surprised by how differently some rooms were laid out, with one feeling quite smaller than the other. It's wise to ask about the specific room design when booking.

Service

The staff was very welcoming and friendly, especially Ramon and Sean who made me feel at home. However, I did encounter issues like slow service during breakfast and a lack of attention during checkout that left me wanting more.

The hotel is right across from Santa Monica Pier, which makes exploring a breeze. I loved the easy access to numerous shops and restaurants. still, navigating the crowded lobby hallway to the elevator felt a bit awkward at times.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast by the pool had excellent options, but I found the dining space a bit cramped and understaffed, leading to slower service than I had hoped for. The baked goodies and fresh fruits were definitely a nice touch, though.

Facilities

The pool area was inviting, but I found the chairs too limited for the number of guests. The valet service was perfect, which added some ease to my stay. yet I felt the overall facilities could use minor improvements.
