My stay at Shade Hotel was a mix of luxury and lively atmosphere. The location was ideal for the beach and restaurants, making it perfect for exploration, yet the noise from the outdoor restaurant filled with drunk conference participants was a bit of a disturbance.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the location was perfect for exploring Manhattan Beach with great restaurants nearby. However, our room was extremely loud all night, making it hard to rest properly. The coffee machine in the room was a nice touch, though I wish all hotels had this as a standard.
