Shade Hotel - Manhattan Beach

I loved the quality of the bedding and attention to detail for the guest's comfort. The location was excellent. Although we were visiting family in Manhattan Beach, we would definitely return for business as well as pleasure. The lunch specials were very good and being offered a spa discount as a Shade guest was a bonus.

Superb location, walking distance to beach. Very unusual and cool room with bath tub next to bed and led lighting. Kind of the hippest Motel 6 you could imagine. Because layout is more like motel than hotel.

Super expensive $20 valet only parking.

The room was relaxing and comfortable. It was perfect for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary.

The price was a bit much for what it offered but I was willing to pay becuase of the location and it was a nice place to stay at.

Excellent! Design of the rooms, service, location

Brilliant location; gorgeous room; personable, friendly not pretensious staff (nothing we asked for was too hard), loved the bikes, pool area was relaxing. Also loved the Molton Brown toiletries in the room. Breakfast was just the right amount of food and delicious...so was the bar food...YUM..mini burgers! Strongly recommend the area and hotel to our friends. So close to airport - $20US in a cab (excluding tip). Terrific!

The hotel is rather for a young couple, not for a mature couple like us who is looking for tranquility. I usually rely on the rating and guests' comments on Booked.net to book a hotel, but I could not "catch" that, reading through them! The lobby/bar has two TV screens which shows succor games all the time, which gives "popular" atmosphere in the lobby.

Location, room amenities

Expensive, no complimentary waters in rooms or glasses (must be requested from front desk), couldn't get logged onto the wireless internet network in the hotel, loud party til 2:30 a.m.
