Shade Hotel

We paid for a suite that didn’t have any of the amenities working. The LED lights, the steam shower, the beer tap all weren’t working. Not worth the expensive price and the hotel didn’t try to accommodate for these issues. Staff at front desk is also very rude and continued to call the room before quiet hours in the hotel began. Beautiful room but would never return here.

Lovely room. Great location near Manhattan Beach Pier, shops, and The Strand. We did not get to enjoy the little pool or Skydeck due to lousy weather, but it should be nice on warm sunny days. Parking was quite convenient with nearby on-street meters or in the garage next to the hotel.

Fresh and clean, well appointed, comfortable, newly remodeled room with terrific room service. The one downside was a loud Christmas party event that we only learned about after check in. The event essentially shut down all common spaces and the courtyard. The music was incredibly loud, as suggested it would be, but came along with screaming lyrics from the guests in attendance. So much so that we had difficulty hearing our own devices in our room. But to the DJ’s credit, he did end the music promptly at 10pm sharp. (Unfortunately this was essentially 1am our time, and we hadn’t yet acclimated from our East coast time zone.)

Stayed here for just one night for a party in LA. Although our visit was short, we were extremely impressed by this lovely boutique hotel. Most of the rooms/public areas look to be recently remodeled which is currently still underway to make all the guest rooms up to date. The lobby/restaurant/bar area is attractive & inviting. The best part however is the warm friendly staff. Front desk associates Sara& Stephanie immediately made us feel welcome and our outstanding breakfast server Lindsey was professional & delightful! General Manager Rodolfo absolutely knows how to run a first class hotel!

Overall excellent hotel. One big issue that would prevent me from coming back. The keys do not work properly on the electric locks. I had to walk back to the front desk every day to get new keys. The staff tells me management is aware of the issue and has not addressed it
