9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (807)
"Beautiful hotel - but the food service to the room was really really slow and the dining in general was a disappointment. Great service people but the menu is undesirable and the food not well cooked. The restaurant never appeared to have enough guests and it's for good reason. We prefer buffet breakfast and they did not have that and the menu options weren't great. I think for the number of stars and price - they should really improve their food."

Shore Hotel

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1003)
"This is a great hotel that close to a ton of restaurants, the pier, and a short uber ride to The Getty Museum, and also Venice Beach. Ask the concierge or front desk which restaurants are best. We had a balcony with a view of the pier & the ocean. It was a little cool, so we didn't get to the pool. It looks cool weather permitting. Staff is awesome too! Super friendly, so stay here when in Santa Monica. "

"The staff was very nice and my room was clean and comfortable. The hallways looked a bit outdated, but the bar was really beautiful. My only problem was that a bar/club nearby was extremely loud.
