Hotels in Manhattan Beach, CA

“The staff at the Shade Hotel were absolutely incredible. From the start of the process of planning my wedding with them to actually having the event happen, the service was unmatched. They helped make every detail perfect. From the food menu, accommodations, to the day of the event, the day was better than we could have ever imagined. They provide a day of event coordinator, which made it so I could actually sit back and enjoy the day in every beautiful moment. The staff and managers are flexible, thoughtful, and completely devoted to making your day as special as possible. The rooms are spacious, beautiful, and cozy. Also, the hotel is an easy walk to the beach, and we were able to get our first look photos at the pier. If you’re considering having an event with a beautiful location and unmatched service, look no further - The Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach is where you want it!”

“Great stay! Had a quick visit and was able to see some great attractions along with the beach which was less than 2 miles away from the hotel.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Parking is underground, which for security reasons, I prefer that.

The breakfast buffet offered some pretty decent food and drinks. I will stay here again in the future!”

“One of the Best experience I had in a very long time. The upgraded rooms are too good to believe, May be the highest quality rooms you can experience at the location next to LAX, It's definitely worth the money. Location so close to manhattan beach and LAX airport makes it even incredible. Manager Ishesh went an extra mile to make sure It's best time for me and my family. Thank you guys, You are going to be my only choice when I am back in town LA.

Rooms: Small Small upgrades makes this hotel so special that it has things that even marriotts don't have

Walkability: 10 minutes walk to manhattan beach, 10 minutes walk to Target, Gelson and other important restaurants and shopping places.”

“Love this hotel. The people, gym, outdoor pool and lounging area, and the attached 9 hole executive golf course all make for a terrific work, or recreational, stay. Nicely done to all who take care of us here!”

“Stayed here a couple of nights. Doesn't look like much on the outside but it isn't a bad little hotel. Doesn't have elevators so you do have to climb up the stairs that aren't the widest. We had a balcony that looked out towards the ocean which was really nice to have! Only complaint which isn't the hotels fault is the loudness from the early mornings from all the different commotion that would occur in the streets. We got in really late the first night but they accommodated us.”

“Great location. We walked to the beach and restaurants the entire time. We did have a vehicle but didn't need it.
The only knock is the mattress. Unbelievably uncomfortable. Hard as a rock and the pillows were thin and uncomfortable.”

“This was a work trip and it was convenient for where we were going, but I don't know if I would stay here if it were a personal trip. I was there for an overnight trip so I didn't go to the restaurant or gym. The Belamar looks like it was an old apartment building converted to a hotel and the rooms were passed off as hipster with the in room record player. My coworker who lives in the area says that it's been converted several times. The hallway and stairwell give away it's age. Pros: Staff was very courteous and friendly. Close to the Point (high end shops and restaurants) There's a green belt for walking, plus the neighborhood has charming homes to walk past. Bikes are for rent. The hotel has a deal with Soul Cycle. Record players in every room. It's fine for an overnight trip. I was able to have the hotel hold my bags while I was in a meeting. That was very convenient. Just OK: Parking is tight and it's $25 for overnight parking. The records are in the lobby. I know one Yelper was made comments about their choice in music, but I kind of agree and the records I did play were dated past our parents era and scratched. It's time to purge and upgrade with newer used records. The beds are kind of low. I thought it was odd, but some people with mobility issues may not like it. The bathtub needed an upgrade or repaint, but the shower was fine. For convenience to The Point, LAX, Manhattan Beach and visiting F&F in the area, it will work for most.”

“I love this place. Will return. Stayed two nights in different rooms. Especially like the tile floors, proximity to pier, spacious rooms and free parking that seems pretty secure.”
