We stayed at this hotel for one night. Location is excellent and decor is modern. Hotel close to the beach and shopping areas. However, the hotel is lacking a restaurant and has no lounge. No where to have breakfast. Room clean but quite small. I must say that staff were excellent and very nice to deal with and I am... More

We stayed here for a night after a long haul flight from New Zealand. It was a great experience - we were upgraded to a suite which was very quiet with a lovely comfortable bed and lots of space to relax in. We had a view out over neighbouring apartments to the pier. A late lunch at the blue plate... More

OVERVIEW: The Shore Hotel is brand new (green construction), chic hotel of contemporary design throughout. Rooms are stylish and comfortable, and the hotel is within walking distance of Santa Monica's attractions. LOCATION: The hotel is across the street (Ocean Ave) from the ocean. Those expecting to look out their window and see mostly water may be disappointed, as it is... More

Pleasantly surprised with this gem by the ocean. The rooms are well appointed, with comfortable beds and we had a veiw of the Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Ocean. Loved the design/color scheme of the hotel and it had a nice pool area for lounging (although on the main drag so some traffic noise). Easy to walk to points of... More

I discovered this gem on my most recent trip to Santa Monica. Without knowing much about the place prior to arriving, my expectations were low given past experiences in the area. However, the Shore's clean, ecofriendly rooms and awesome staff were a pleasant surprise. The beds are super comfy (especially after a long day on the promenade) and Lindsey at... More
