Shade Hotel

I have stayed her numerous times and this was the all time worst!!! To start the bottom sheet on the bed kept coming off when we slept. 2nd the room air conditioner would not cool down the room and we were so hot! Then to top it off the blue lights would not turn off anywhere and we had to sleep with them all night since the telephone also didn't work to call the front desk!! Not coming back it was a waste of money!!!

This was my third stay at this hotel. If you want to be in Manhattan Beach, the location can't be beat. I love the rooms - beds are super comfortable! But, for the price, there is a lot lacking. The last two times I've stayed my room was on the first floor with a slider opening to the courtyard. Because of this, I couldn't get any daylight in because of the extreme lack of privacy. In addition, the hotel is LOUD. My room was near the restaurant and it was super noisy. In addition, I constantly heard doors slamming all throughout the night. On Sunday morning at 7 am, there was vacuuming going on right outside of my room.

Very comfortable beds and bedding, delicious food! The bar and refrigerator were fully stocked. The closers were very small and made it hard to hang formal wear. A ring was lost in room #216 and never found or turned in. The staff didn’t seem too helpful.

We stayed here during a one-night layover in the LA area. We were looking for something higher-end, but close to LAX and the beach. While the service was mediocre, the rooms were bad. They smelled stale and like smoke. When we were offered another room or two, we encountered the same smell. In our $500+/night room, bathroom area fixtures had fallen off and the flooring was visibly stained. Do not recommend.

Everything was fantastic, from the rooms to the personnel. Very friendly, helpful, and made you feel welcome. My wife and I are looking forward to going back soon. I certainly would recommend the Shade. The food and drink were fantastic too !
