Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach

"First off the staff was exceptional. Everyone was nice and helpful. Service was great. Food at the bar was amazing. My room was disappointing to say the least. The carpet was falling apart and so dirty I felt keeping my shoes on necessary. The tiles were cracked and broken in the bathroom. The curtain was extremely difficult to close and shredded. The TV in our room didn't work at all and was not a smart tv as in other rooms. The WiFi went in and out so much it was impossible to stream on any device- and no tv. I wish this room was what had been advertised so I could have opted stay elsewhere. They said they couldn't change our room. Overall disappointed. If you get a new room it's probably a lovely stay."

"Fabulous weekend visit at The Shade! Top notch hospitality and friendly staff. Bar and restaurant are amazing with tasty food and yummy cocktails. Our newly renovated room was very modern, tricked out lighting, smart TV (Apple TV and all the usual apps), and very comfortable bedding. Walk to town, pier and all the restaurants and bars at your doorstep."

"This spot is luxurious, while also being super chill. The employees are super sweet and welcoming, and the location is unbeatable. It was the coolest room I've ever stayed in! And an excellent restaurant (Zinc) on the first floor. Sweet spot for brunch!"

"Four-night stay Nov 2023. Outstanding location, center of Man Bch but…small older rooms, dated bathrooms/plumbing, dated decor, old (free) bikes, etc. Very pleasant, courteous staff; nice restaurant/bar; $20/person/night “surprise” resort fee(!) on top of room rate. 3-3.5 facility at best in 5 location."

"Shade Hotel is fantastic. We got married at Shade in March and our experience was amazing from beginning to end. Ron in valet celebrates us every time we came in and out. The girls at the front desk were welcoming and greeted us with champagne and a delicious cookie. Mimi and Alisha ensured that absolutely everything was taken care of and that we were stress free. Chef Tony created a delicious menu that our guests are still raving about. Gus crafted a beautiful signature cocktail. All staff was extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. The hotel is centrally located which made it easy to have whatever we needed within a few minutes. The hotel is beautiful and in a prime location which made guests want to stay there for our wedding weekend. Having everyone close by contributed to our stress free weekend. The hotel has a beautiful green room that we used to get ready in where my bridesmaids and I got to have brunch in too. Overall, we are so grateful for everyone at Shade Hotel. We could not have picked a more beautiful venue with the most trustworthy and amazing staff."
