Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Shore Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Shore Hotel's location is frequently praised, as it's situated across from the Santa Monica Pier, allowing guests to easily enjoy the beach and sunsets. The rooms are generally considered spacious, with coffee machines, though some guests have noted the rooms were not special. The heated pool is a popular amenity, even in cooler months, while the hotel develops its new spa. Valet parking is available, but the costs have struck some as high.

Acceptable Location. Pricey Valet Parking

expensive valet high costs
The hotel has a perfect location near the pier and other attractions.
Valet parking seemed really expensive. It cost much more than parking at other luxury hotels I had stayed at earlier in my trip. I felt quite annoyed, because nobody warned me about the high costs at check-in.

ideal location lovely view helpful staff small pool expensive parking privacy issue
The location of the hotel was ideal. The room offered a lovely view. The staff seemed very helpful .
The pool was rather small and lacked sufficient beds. I noticed the parking fee was very expensive. Customers from other rooms could easily see inside my room through the window. This lack of privacy made me uncomfortable.

The location was good. It was easy to get to the pier. The hotel also had a bright and open lobby. Checking in was quick.
Housekeeping never came, even though I asked. They promised a refund. I didn't get it. The staff didn't honor their commitment.

unfulfilled commitment expensive parking
Housekeeping never visited my room. i requested it daily. at checkout, staff promised a $90 refund. I completed their forms and exchanged emails. the refund never arrived. this lack of service and unfulfilled commitment is disappointing, the minibar lacked pricing. i found this inconvenient. also, the valet parking was quite expensive.
