    A friend and I decided to have a beach day and ride bikes along the Manhattan beach bike path. After bike riding we decided to stop at Shade for lunch. We went around 3 p.m during the week and they had a nice happy hour. All of the food was brought out in a beautiful presentation. We got a few things to share. My friend got a fruity martini which tasted really delicious. Our server was incredibly nice and everything came out on time. The GM Jacob stopped by our table and he was extremely welcoming and kind. We will Definitely be back! Overall great experience.

    To Freda, Alexandra and Gustavo thank you for your service and your help with getting my phone charged.

    Crunchy rice with tuna. Fantastic!
    Peter I.

    Great happy hour and very good service from Cynthia who was right on it. Big bday night for my wife with all her pals before NY tomorrow. Good pours and the Shade patio rocks. Best dish is crunchy rice with spicy tuna. Look out after happy hour because prices become MB prices. But in the end all good and all left happy!

    My husband and I hosted our wedding at Shade in May. Alisha was the most amazing asset to the entire wedding planning process. The whole staff went above and beyond from the moment we arrived, ensuring our day was seamless and memorable. The hotel set up our penthouse room early with flowers, chocolates, and welcome note! They were attentive to every detail throughout the entire wedding planning process and helped coordinate additional things like printing odd items for us since we were out of state. They were even super accommodating when my credit card had fraud the night before the main event - I felt like they were more concerned about my experience than the bottom line of money. Overall, the value we got for the price of our wedding was a total steal! The location is perfect proximity to LAX, the cruise port, restaurants for rehearsal dinner, breakfast spots, grocery store, and the beach for an intimate & breathtaking first look. We highly recommend Shade and Alisha for all your event needs in Southern California.

    Mold in the bathtub
    Jess H.

    I got a room for Mother's Day to take a long bath. That didn't work out because the tub was disgusting! It appeared clean but the spout from the ceiling must have mold in it because anytime I ran the tub, mold would appear in the water. I've stayed at the Shade multiple time but I'm never going again because $800 for a moldy tub is unacceptable. Try one of the smaller hotels in Hermosa Beach for a better experience.

    This hot tube needed an update. It was not very good.

    I stayed here for the first time for 3 nights and 4 days. When I entered the room, I liked the spacious floor plan and the large hot tab. During my stay, the weather cold and the room temperature was set at 70°f, but it was cold room. I started pouring hot water into the hot tub but it took me over 30 minutes. After that, when I pressed the Jacuzzi switch, only one of the six worked and had no massage effect at all. The next day, when I asked about the hot tab at the reception desk on the first floor, they said it was just a hot tab because your room had not been updated yet. I was disappointed when I heard that. During my stay, I couldn't sleep because it was cold, so I switched the temperature to a heater and raised it to 75, but it didn't work at all at night. I caught a cold by the time I left the hotel.

    I have wanted to stay here for years. When I lived in MB, I had stopped by for Brunch and cocktails, but had never stayed. So this visit, it was time to give Shade a try. Why? It's the best central location in downtown Manhattan Beach. You can walk to everything (restaurants, boutiques, beach, etc.) and there is no need for a car. Pulled up and valet was quick to greet us. Stepped inside and the front desk was friendly and offered glasses of sparkling wine. Room was clean and had all needed amenities. Large tub in the center of the room. Patio with chairs. Refrigerator with drinks (non-alcohol and alcohol). Iron, Hair Dryer, Hair Curler. Snacks. Kuerig machine for your coffee. Bottled water by the bed. Complimentary bottle of wine. My only issue with the room was it is outdated. I think they are starting to refurbish given the construction on the rooftop pool/bar. The dark wood/dark granite counters don't match the breezy beach style of MB. Grabbed breakfast both mornings at the restaurant in the lobby, zinc@shade; was provided $20/day vouchers. They serve bites/cocktails in the evening, but did close up early. I was visiting during the week, so maybe it's different on the weekends. Overall, service is 5 stars, but they need to refurbish the rooms for a 5 star overall experience.

    Look at the huge bathtub!
    Ari B.

    Consider this a 4 1/2 stars. Minus 1/2 star for expensive parking and no view. Not cheap but the newly renovated rooms are great. Nice LED color lighting though the interface is fussy and we had to have the facilities person come fix the flashing lights. Comfortable bed (first time sleeping on a Temur-Pedic mattress which was very comfortable.) Best feature here is the great big bathtub in a bathroom separated by sliding doors that can open up fully to create a really big room. Nice and clean for a quick getaway though a bit pricey.

    I came across some photos on my social media from when I visited The Strand House in Manhattan…read moreBeach on August 30th, 2020. Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious. I also remember the service being very friendly and welcoming. Today, a friend mentioned that she had been there, and it suddenly brought back memories of my own visit. So I went searching through my old photos and found these. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.

    We were greeted by Jason (came to find out, he's the manager). Curt, abrupt, not very personable…read more He seated us...next to numerous open tables. We requested a booth right behind us. We were told it was not available...that they had reservations already set. As a side note, I too had made a reservation. Marina was our server...difficult to pin down exactly how I felt about her. Nice, but not super nice. I felt like we were a chore. The whole reason for my review is the bussing staff...THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE! Each and every one of them were personable, had the biggest smiles, and were genuinely caring people. They joked with us and made the whole experience worth it. The food was delicious. The ambiance is a bit too uppity for me. Great place to grab a drink...the bar is lovely and the servers were great. Back to Jason and "the table". Two booth tables sat empty the entire two hours we were there. My first time dining there...not in a hurry to return.

    Belamar review…read more Overall a great hotel and , if I can secure a similar great price, I and my family will happily stay again! The highlights: - the staff were wonderful (all around). The front desk staff were courteous at every step in the process (check in, questions throughout stay, following up on a few small issues that occurred) and at checkout. The valet staff were wonderful. They worked REALLY hard to ensure cars were ready in five minutes (often less than that) from when you requested it (via text) and the restaurant staff was very courtesy and the food was good - Valet was quick (I can't emphasize this enough). I was slightly annoyed that it was valet only (with a rental car I get a wary of others driving) however they were fast, courteous, and kept the car cool for me. Also, I recommend paying for valet when you book as I had the option to buy $25/night parking instead of $45/night parking where booking on the Hilton app. - Use of the hotels bicycles was a major highlight. I rented bikes twice. At the time of my stay (May 2026) there were only four bikes. They are first come first serve so I recommend renting in the morning. They had baskets and came with locks and helmets for a very affordable price. The staff (especially Ozzie) was great at getting them quickly rented out to us and showing us the features (they are one speed bikes so they are basic but perfect for cruising along the beach). - The room was spacious, clean, and had a mini bar fridge in it (with the option for a full fridge and access to a microwave near the business center). I appreciated the ability to tip the staff virtually with credit card in case you don't have cash. - The restaurant was convenient, service was good, and the food was good - Noise level wasn't bad, I had a room facing the main road and wished I would have booked a courtyard room, however the noise was barely noticeable and never a disruption (I come from a city where I am use to ambient noise) The not so great things - For late night gym goers, the gym is limited to 6am-10pm (probably because the gym is beside several guest rooms and they want to be courteous to those rooms). However the gym is well stocked small gym (three treadmills, a peloton, and several different racks of weights and areas for stretching) - The hallways smelt a bit dank when I first arrived (although the rooms themselves smelt very fresh) and I noticed several automated deodorizers in the hallways (likely to help with this) and staff were doing a comprehensive carpet cleaning when I checked out so I would expect this not to be the case in the future. - The indoor/outdoor pool was a bit dated and didn't leave much to be desired, but it's an option.. for those who don't prefer the beach and there were towels available.

    Smells terrible everything is old , rusty in the bathroom, very expensive for what they offer,…read moretheir "closet " is just some hangers in the room, after u flush the toilet it takes about 10 min until stops, and also in the bathroom they glue a piece of hose on floor so the water doesn't come down in the room!
