My stay at Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach was fantastic. The hotel boasts a beautiful modern design and an unbeatable location in the heart of downtown. Though I found the prices a bit steep, the luxurious rooms and helpful staff made it worthwhile. The rooftop pool is more of a large hot tub, which was a bit disappointing, but the overall experience was still really good.

I had a lovely stay at Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach, appreciating the excellent location and the attention to detail from the staff. The clean and comfortable rooms made for a relaxing experience. although the noise from renovations and the lack of privacy on the ground floor were a bit challenging. Overall, the hospitality and food quality definitely stood out.

My room was comfortable and exactly as pictured, but being on the ground floor near renovations made it impossible to open the window due to noise. Requesting a newly remodeled room could help avoid such challenges.

While the facilities offered a nice pool vibe, it felt more like a large hot tub, which was a bit of a letdown given the hotel’s price range. Other amenities were satisfactory, but the pool could improve.

My stay at Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach was lovely. the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. However, the potent air freshener in the room was a bit overwhelming, and I noticed that the bed linens hadn't been changed before my arrival, which was disappointing. The location is fantastic. just a few blocks from the beach and close to great restaurants.
