Excellent location for prime Santa Monica experience. The Shore Hotel perfectly delivers on a clean, modern, and walkable oceanfront stay. It's situated directly across from the beach and steps from the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. Guest rooms are bright and frequently offer stunning ocean views from private balconies. It is highly convenient, though expect a lively atmosphere (and premium price/parking) due to its central, desirable location.

Great location, clean and comfortable room. Room temp was good, friendly staff and good amenities. The only negative stopping stars was the water pressure in the bathroom for both the sink and shower. Excellent spot for exploring the pier with plenty of eating options and bike hire very close by.

The view from my room was an overflowing mound of trash next to the conference room and for $1,000.00 for 2 nights I would expect better. Also I got hit with an additional $125.00 upon checking in that was not mentioned anywhere until I arrived and it was too late, multiple $35 resort fees, taxes for everything and I didn’t use any of the resort amenities, that fee should be prorated based off the amount of resort services and amenities you take advantage of not a flat rate.

Don’t expect a restful sleep

Convenient location and clean. Unresponsive and indifferent front desk. Valet guy gets it and was awesome. Super noisy guest above me that started stomping, thumping things, moving furniture and slamming doors from 10 pm to midnight kept me from sleeping. And then started up again at 6:30 in the morning. Front desk interrupted me during my call for assistance and told me it was “the city “. Umm, yeah- I’ve stayed many cities, can tell the difference between noise coming from the room above and street noise. My colleague in another room had issues with a couple next door loudly arguing. In addition, they need to add black out curtains as the property lights shine right through the shutters.
