You can't beat this hotel on location. It's right on the beach in view of the Santa Monica peer in the thick of night life and shopping. It's also new and therefor clean and everything works. It has a nice pool and hot tub that face the beach also. The bathroom however leaves a bit to be desired. The rooms... More

We found ourselves unexpectedly in Santa Monica and saw "The Shore Hotel" was #1 on tripadvisor. When I called to make a reservation I was greeted with a friendly voice at the hotel's front desk, not a reservation center with no personality or knowledge of the area. Jim greetedus at the front desk giving us an upgrade rather then making... More

We stayed here for 3 nights with 2 3yr old children. The staff were friendly and the hotel is in the best location! We walked to the Pier for the kids to play on the beach and go on all the rides. Restaurants are everywhere and all children friendly. Shopping is just down the road! The hotel is extremely modern... More

Easy to see why this hotel is rated #1 on Trip Advisor... it was a truly unique experience and our stay in Los Angeles was amazing because of it. The staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating: Jim, Brandi, Joshua, Joel, and Stevie. A huge thank you from two mommas looking for a nice little get-away on Mother's... More

We stayed at the Shore over Spring Break with our two children (ages 10 & 14) in March. The hotel had not booked our room correctly, when we arrived there was no room for a roll away bed. They upgraded us at no charge to a lovely larger room at the front corner of the building. The room was spacious... More

Love, love, love the Shore hotel. It is hard to say what I like the most as everything is so over the top. At check-in, Cash was phenomenal. She is always so welcoming (2nd year in a row) and had a great room with an ocean and pool view for us. Her colleague Stevie, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and upbeat.... More

Stayed for 3 nights at the end of April with my wife. Definitely wanted an ocean-front room and chose this hotel because of its modern looks, great central location, and rates that were more acceptable than other big name ocean front hotels. We were absolutely impressed. Room cleanliness, service, amenities, free WiFi were all great. Rooms are modern and super... More

We stayed here for 9 nights on our 4th visit to Santa Monica, we had a fantastic time and could not fault this hotel. It's location is first class, elevated position means you are a 2 minute walk from the Pier/beach and 3rd Street Promenade shopping. We chose to upgrade to an Ocean View room at check-in which meant we... More
