The Shore Hotel in Santa Monica was a fantastic stay! The location is unbeatable—right across from the beach and near the pier. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable, with beautiful ocean views. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the vibe of the hotel was fresh and relaxing. Would definitely stay again!

Good and bad. The location was the reason for booking, it is outstanding. The convenience of a car rental desk within the property is very nice and the Sixt staff was friendly. Onsite food is very expensive but it was delicious and good room service. The negatives, the beds and pillows were terribly uncomfortable, sheets were pilling, and the one request I made in advanced to have rooms close to another party member was not met. I appreciated the friendly service from waiters, housekeepers and car rental staff and loved the location but the beds will prevent me from returning. I am a very frequent traveler and they were sadly bottom tier.

Would never book here again. After checking out I was charged with a $250 fee (which was never discussed at check in). When I called hotel to check on charge they were basically nonchalant and didn’t care about customer satisfaction at all. I felt like it was a scam because none of those charges were informed to me at checkin but when I called to check charges they said “oh it’s on our website” basically $150 cleaning pet fee which I never heard any other hotel doing.. which again wasn’t informed about this charge but they insisted it was on the paper I signed. And then $50 for parking (which is so ridiculous because I’m literally staying at this hotel) and $50 for resort fee, which I understand ( but then Again wasn’t informed at check in either. Last but not least they had balconies but totally useless as they threatened us to charge $500 if we even smoked on the balcony. All in all this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in my entire existence and after I notified hotel on everything nothing was done customer satisfaction. They care only about your $ and that’s it!!! Worst hotel experience ever!

It's hard to give five stars. I would give it 4.5. Staff was great. Next to the beach. Views are great. Rooms and lobby are updated. The hallways to you room was the let down. Wall paper peeling off and old carpets (reminding me of 1990s Holiday Inn). If they update the hallways, five stars. My family plans on coming back for another stay at this hotel.
