Shore Hotel

Staff was fantastic from valet to concierge and management. We only stayed for the night but they made the stay a good one. Room: we had a king suite with pull out couch. We had no issues , view was fantastic, rooms were clean and no issues with AC(we actually got cold!) Location: fabulous. Literally right across from the pier. Walking distance to everything. The free bikes worked out well for my kids and I. Food: I ordered the fruit platter and toast, both were great.

My husband and I were on a Day Redort Pass so I can’t rate the rooms. However, the service, pool area, food, beverages, cleanliness, and location were 5 stars. The Concierge was especially helpful and accessible. Servers were very attentive. Special valet rate was appreciated. The food was great-highly recommend the crab appetizer! Lounges super comfortable as was the bar/restaurant seating Ocean view!

**“The Shore Hotel is more than a place to stay — it’s a place where moments become memories and strangers become family. We came to Santa Monica to reunite with family — my brother, nephew, and niece — and what we found was a refuge of warmth, belonging, and beauty. From the very first moment, Adriano became more than a concierge… he became a guide, a host, a keeper of moments. Thanks to him, we discovered gems like Venice, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Malibu — and, above all, the magic of Santa Barbara, a 2.5‑hour drive that felt like a journey through a postcard. But what makes the Shore Hotel truly extraordinary is its people. From valet to security, from housekeeping to breakfast service, every person embodied the spirit of hospitality. The rooms were immaculate, the ocean view was serene, and the location — right in front of the Santa Monica Pier — felt like a gift every morning. This hotel doesn’t just offer a place to stay — it creates moments that stay with you long after you’ve gone. We’re already planning to return next year for a longer stay, knowing that this is more than a hotel… it’s a second home. Thank you, Adriano, and the entire team at the Shore Hotel, for making this chapter of our story truly magical. You deserve every five‑star review and more — because you don’t just run a hotel, you create belonging, memories, and moments that last a lifetime.”**
