“Great service and great ocean view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I have to say staying at the The Shore hotel was a great experience especially the nice people that work there. They were very helpful and have excellent customer service. The view of the ocean was really nice and they even have their own indoor garage parking down below which is very convienant if you want to self park.

Thank you so much for your review Rachel F! We are so delighted to hear that you enjoyed, what we call, "The Shore Experience!" Your praises about our service professionals will happily be passed along to everyone. The beauty of Santa Monica and the beach are right at our fingertips here at Shore and our building's modern design allows each guest to take it all in, even just sitting in our lobby! Our very convenient and secure parking garage allows guests to park their cars at very competitive rates. Its an added feature that gives our guests peace of mind since we are centrally located to everything, you most likely will leave your car parked your entire stay. We really appreciate your review and hope to see you agan in the very near future.

“Awesome service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I had an awesome time staying at the Shore Hotel, such friendly and customer service oriented staff. The rooms were clean and fresh to stay in, the front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and of assistance. The best part of my stay was the 'above and beyond' service on my final afternoon even though i had already checked out of my stay. With a long flight to Australia ahead of me the staff provided me with a room for a pre-flight shower and preparation. This was unexpected and although not an everyday service offering of theirs, it is an indication of the service oriented nature of the staff. Helpful in every way, i couldn't have done the 14hour LA to Sydney flight without that shower! Cannot recommend them highly enough. Staying here is a must.

Room Tip: Great location if you want to shop on 3rd Street - right around the corner!

Pip O, Thank you so much for your review! What a pleasure it is to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We cannot wait to share your praises with the entire team on how they made your stay extra special. That's Shore Hotel! We aim for excellent service for each and every guest and to know that we exceeded your expectations means that we are on track! As you said, allowing you access to a room for a shower is not a normal service we provide but we had the availability and extended the courtesy to you because your comfort and convenience were first priority for us. I hope you had a safe and relaxing flight and we look forward to your next visit. Thanks again!

We loved this hotel and found that waking up by the ocean every day was a real treat.We had a regular room on the side of the hotel and we could even see a slice of the ocean from there.If you have a car you have to use their parkade.I would use self-park since you have to go down to the parking garage anyway to get your car.Other than that we loved staying there and will be back again in the future.

This hotel has a great vibe. It is the perfect hotel for the area - casual and cool. The rooms are well appointed with super comfy beds. I loved the location and the price was very reasonable. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our special requests. Great pool. I can't wait to go back!

“Shore Hotel - Perfect Location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Stayed at Shore Hotel this past weekend for a quick Cali trip. Location was amazing, right across from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. Not even a 5 minute walk. Third Street Promenade was very close as well. Modern and comfortable atmosphere. Rooms even if a tad small are a good size and very clean. We had the Ocean View room with a balcony. We loved sitting on the balcony and people watching or to look at the ocean. Can be a bit noisy from the street with the sliding door open, but with it closed most of the noise was blocked out (we were on the 3rd floor). Bed was comfortable. No bathtub in bathroom, which was fine by me. Shower was a good size - remember you need to press the button on the wall to the right to have the shade come down for privacy. No items in mini bar so you can use it for your own things. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Front Desk agent was polite and called after we checked in to make sure everything was ok with our room. Parking is convenient and expensive at $30 a night. There is free WiFi. Not sure if In Room Dining will be coming along with the restaurant this year?! Great Find!

Room Tip: Ocean View - higher floor

Thank you so much for your review Vegasgirl2010! Wow, we are so excited to hear that you enjoyed your "Shore Experience!" We pride ourselves in providing service that is second to none to our guests while they also enjoy our perfect location and great amenities. Our well designed rooms do have sound-proofed balconies which keeps the cozy in and street noise out. Our restaurant is currently under construction and is expected to be completed mid-summer of 2012. We sure hope you find your way back to us to enjoy it. With this will also be a fully-stocked mini-bar however, guests can still make use of the extra fridge space for personal items. Thank you for informing "future guests" about our privacy shade as our showers are all glass to provide as much natural light to conserve energy. Vegasgirl2010, thank you again for the review and we hope to see you again very soon!
