I loved this hotel! I was feeling sorry for myself, having to spend mother's day 3,000 miles away from my son, and at a crummy hotel down the street. The clean lines of the hotel caught my eye as I walked to the Pier, so I stopped in. The hotel staff could not have been nicer - the manager on... More

stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May. Brilliant hotel, lovely rooms and pool. Only downside is lack of food or drink facilities.

Hire car companies, tours, restaurants and bars to visit whatever you needed, they were able to source. Location is brilliant just a stroll from the iconic Santa Monica Pier and... More

We recently stayed at the Shore hotel and were very happy with our stay. The place is very sleek and modern, the rooms are ok, all rooms have a balcony, which is nice. We had a good view of the ocean, and often enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a drink to relax. We didn't use the pool, but it... More

My boyfriend and I went this past weekend for one night. I thought it was going to be impossible to get reservations since it was Memorial Day weekend, but we were lucky enough to get an amazing room! Our view was perfect, it overlooked the entire beach and the pier. When we checked in the director of guest services, Dieter... More

The beauty of this hotel and the view is only outdone by the service of its staff. Due to an unfortunate medical emergency in my family I had to leave town directly from my meeting and did not have adequate time to go by the hotel to pick up my bag or I would miss my flight. Derek Williams, who... More

Trip of a lifetime type Holiday, had stayed at the tired Ocean View along the road 8 years ago, found the Shore via their well designed website. Booked a Ocean View Premier with King Bed, we wanted to wake up to a view of the Ocean and the Pier (and the Tramps!), we are not a rich couple so every... More

The hotel was okay - but nothing exeptional. Minimalistic concepts are great - but that is not the case of The Shore. Small rooms, No lobby area, no bar, no restaurant, no room service... So you cant stay much inside and enjoy the location witch is obviously one of the best in Santa Monica.

I had a great 3 night stay at the Shore. The location is awesome!!! The Pier, Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Place, and great restaurants are all within a few blocks of the Shore. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Dieter Schmitz, director of guest services. The room was very clean, modern, and had a "new" feel. I... More
