There’s many different aspects to this review And I think that the over arching four stars is for the general experience Some of the service was amazing, some of the service was a little lackluster

The resort as a whole was a little underwhelming The activities offered hotel gas such as horseback riding or kayaking could have been more adventurous; and an actual beach access would’ve been nice The rooms were beautiful The food was decent A little over priced… But I would say if you enjoy sitting in your room and eating at restaurants and listening to live music this is the place to go But if you’re looking for an all inclusive type of a resort this is probably not the place to go

Terranea has been on my list of places I wanted to stay for a long time I can’t say I was totally disappointed, but I was also not blown away For the price, I was pretty shocked at the poor level of service

When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready – at 5:15PM! We had been told we could check in at 4 at the latest, so we were very frustrated to wait with our bags in the lobby after a long day of travel Not to mention, at the hourly cost of this hotel for an ocean view room, that was almost $100 of time we shouldn’t have had to pay forLuckily, the location was spectacular and the ocean view made up for a lot But we were also surprised that after a day by the pool, our room had not been cleaned We didn’t expect a full service even, just simply new towels and a made-up bed This kind of service is what we expect these days from a lower level hotel, but the price they ask you to pay makes the small details matter much moreI would recommend saving your money and booking a vacation where you will get great service I can only hope Terranea goes back to the quality I heard so much about before COVID – as it stands, I would not return

I didn’t stay at the hotel here, but I and my date spent some time at the lobby bar and the garden The lobby bar is a beautiful place, amazing vibe, with live music on the day we were there (a Sunday evening) It really was nice

We almost didn’t want to leave 😀 The food was good (we had the calamari something) and it was a lot I was surprised at the amount of food The drinks were pretty good tooParking was also not bad Just $12 for valet parkingThat was for the lobby bar The garden walk was amazing So so beautiful and the area that overlooks the ocean is breathtaking I highly recommend this place 💯Next goal is to stay for a day or two in the beautiful hotel, and try the other restaurants at the location

We booked this hotel last minute when we extended our stay in the LA area I was able to get a discount code directly on their site and the cost was very reasonable for the location and facilities We didn’t get to check out all the amenities but those we saw/experienced were great

We had come from a nearby 5 star resort and to be honest, our room and in room amenities were nicer at Shade Though we didn’t use it, we appreciated the availability of the stocked mini bar Lighting in the room was fun, the bathroom was clean and modern, and the bath was fantastic On top of the usual bathroom stuff (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc) they had a toorhbrush/paste kit and fantastic smelling bath salts They also greeted us with cookies, can’t go wrong with that, ha ha! We were also able to check in quite early which was great since we had to check out of our other hotel at 11 The *only* not ideal part was the walk to the beach but we knew about that when booking so I definitely don’t hold that against them It wasn’t super far but would be a bit of work if you were wanting to take enough stuff for a day out on the beachWe didn’t get the chance to check out the rooftop pool We noticed at both hotels we visited they closed the pools at sunset which was new to us and inconvenient during early sundown months but wouldn’t deter me from staying again Just a head’s up for future visitors

Raquel Nieves

I am in love with the Shade Hotel!! We had such a fantastic 2 night stay as well as our wedding at the hotel and it was all a dream Every room is superbly comfortable, location is great, staff is amazing and whole overall vibe is wonderful! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shade Hotel Redondo and thank the hotel for an amazing stay

E

Wow! The suites in this hotel impressed me! What a bathtub is on the balcony overlooking the marina!!!!I liked everything! The neighborhood is great, safe and clean! So many seafood dining options around!I will come back!!!! It’s gorgeous!Would also be perfect not to have neighbors with a barking dog 24/7 I don’t know why such a nice places allow loud animals to the hotel… this part is disappointing

We’re staying here right now and I have to admit that the property is great in every way The location is perfect Close to beach and many stores

CVS is next door for any urgent needs!Rooms are spacious and clean They are dated but very well maintained I’m fussy about looking at corners for dust and I haven’t spotted dusty corners yetWe’re traveling with two small kids and the staff have been very accommodating There’s a park right across for the kids too (a great suggestion from one of the staff!)Breakfast was a wonderful start to the day Good variety and another big bonus when travelling with kiddos

Chris Cook

This is a great hotel my wife have stayed here 3 times in the last year and half Super close to the beach and alot of restaurants and shoppingStaff is amazing and the hotel is quiet in the evening

The ice cream place up the street is worth the walk and wait in lineGreat breakfast in the morning and the vending machines are cool

Amy Stewart

Our Uncle made a reservation for this hotel with his reward points as he is a Best Western reward member We received an email with vouchers We called the hotel to make sure they had our reservation and were confirmed by the person answering the phone and sent an email with the confirmation number on it

We were driving from Southern California we arrived about 1:45am When my husband went in to check in he was told they were getting ready to do night audit and they would be with him in about 15 minutes He came out to the car and went right back in and was told oh we’re ready for you now He gave the gentleman his reservation and vouchers gentlemen said the voucher numbers had been difficult as it was in the middle of the night we offered to pay for the room outright and were told there were no rooms available How is that possible when we had a room reserved in our name Whether or not it was by voucher or by S paying cash the room should have been available Guy was very rude to my husband and we will never stay at this hotel We were forced to try to find a hotel at 2 o’clock in the morning and after have been confirmed that we had rooms at this hotel

Joel Vance

Me and my friend stayed here for 3 nights The room was clean and spacious I did not really talk to the staff much because I did contactless check-in and check-out

The only staff member I really spoke to was housekeeping because we needed fresh towels and rags She did not seem too friendly with helping me out with that as she kind of had an attitude about it but I don’t like reusing my used towels and rags This hotel was the closest place to LAX where we could have free parking (10 miles from the airport) which was not too bad at all I would recommend staying here Even though we did not get to go they did have dining there as well as a swimming pool Beautiful hotel

Tiffany Vinson-Warford

This place is kept up for what it is however I wouldn’t suggest spending more than $100 a night There was no pen and paper, no microwave, no furniture on the balcony that are attached to the room, pillows are rather small, and my bathroom smelled like a sewer The location was great, a lot of things in walking distance

Would I stay here again? Yesas long as I’m paying 3 star prices

Jean Pierre

Location is OK and staff is nice and professional which is why I give a 2 star rating to this hotelI checked in late and did not check the room location: I was on 2nd floorWhen I woke up in the middle of the night with a really loud noise, I discovered room was in front of the huge AC unit of the building

I could not sleep again as it was so awfully noisy See photo to see my “view” from the roomI can understand that there is this type of issues, but room like this should be heavily discountedBe warry of this if you decide to book there

Nazli Abhari

We found this gem of a place because our flight got cancelled at LAX at 11 pm and Bluestem was the only hotel that had open spots that night We were lucky enough to snatch their last room Upon arrival the check in was super fast and easy and we were offered complementary snacks and drinks to help cheer us up!The place is lovely, very artistic ambiance and atmosphere

There is a terrace that is accessible to guests 24/7 which is warmed up by fire and cooled down by a beautiful water fountain during the dayThe rooms were clean and very cozy They have everything you need The only thing that could use a little improvement is the wifi speed The rooms have coffee/tea and you have access to a microwave in the lobbyLast but not the least, the staff were wonderful Can’t say enough about how kind and accommodating they were I highly recommend this place to everyone

Mikayla Cooley

Great hotel for the price Customer service was amazing Parking was a bit hard on weekends but we always figured it out

The stalls are just super tiny The rooms were very clean My socks and feet did get dirty walking around the room so I recommend them mopping daily or for the hotel to leave swifter sweepers in the rooms for guests Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to stay somewhere clean and safe and not pay a fortune

Heather Benedict

A boutique hotel with exceptional service, comfortable and clean rooms, free parking, free coffee, and exceptionally cordial and accommodating staff Comfortable, professional, 5 stars! This review comes from a former Four Seasons Hotel front desk agent, would say you get a good bang for your buck here, 5 star service for a fraction of the price!

Louie Olmos

For some unknown reason this courtyard hotel will not allow food and beverage credits to be applied towards alcohol/drinksUsed suite night awards to upgrade to a one bedroom suite The hotel overall is okay and the staff is helpful

I will probably be back again unless I can find a courtyard in the area that allows more thorough usage of the food and beverage credits

Jacky

First at all I want to say thank you to the manager of front desk and one of the front desk ladies who, unfortunately, I don’t know the name of They were incredibly professional and friendly

I had a problem with my reservation and couldn’t arrive because one of my family members got COVID, and they were able to help me In the future, I hope that I’m able to actually stay in this hotel I really appreciate all their help because I had a similar situation with another Marriott hotel and they were rude and incomprehensible

Edgar Zavala

I wanted to love it because we stayed at another Pacifica property before, and it was a great experience all around, but I was left unimpressed by this property A few great things were location, the beds, the staff, but a few bad things were the noise from the traffic and not so charming view of the busy intersection, the extra charge for parking when they have a huge garage, the pool and spa location in the property, the snack bar was closed, no room service during the 3 night stay because of COVID? Not that I necessarily wanted it, but I’ve stayed at several other properties in the last 2 years, and I do not remember them canceling the room cleaning offering That said, the housekeeper was in the hallway all through the day, making plenty of noise and leaving her cart by our door a few times

Oh yeah, overnight and early morning, the traffic noise is less, but I could hear footsteps from the room above at those times to make up for itIt’s very likely that in a room in a higher level with courtyard view (they may even be able to see the ocean in the higher level) would be a much better experience but unlike many other properties where the difference in view is slight and worth a price premium, here the difference is so radical, I think it may be like staying at a different property (view and noise difference)Bottom line, I doubt I will ever stay in this property again with a room facing the street if I had known, I would have paid extra here it is worth Also 4 months ago we stayed at a property one mile north in the same street and the experience was far superior Great breakfast included The rate difference was minimal but we figured we’d try this one next time we’re going back to the other one

Amir Rossi

First and foremost Diamond & Benedict we’re excellent on every aspect regarding customer service Friendly, welcoming and attentive to their guests needs The rooms are clean

Location is great The only thing that could use some TLC is the hallway carpet, they were a little dingy and could use a good cleaningOther than that the place and staff were excellent!Thank you!

Sean O’Brien

I’ll keep it short I think this hotel has a lot of potential and I would love to come back but there are a few things that they would need to change before I would consider another stayI’ll start with the pros- great views of the ocean from the balcony, short walk to the beach, across the street from a grocery store, friendly staff, nice patio with furniture and games

The cons- cockroach in our room, the most uncomfortable couch I’ve ever sat on, poor lighting in the room, and generally a dated feel to the room and building (minus the lounge area and patio, they were quite nice) I’ll also mention that many modern hotels have a desk and chair for business travelers Unfortunately, we did not have a desk or a chair in our room My wife was working remotely for a portion of our stay and it was not a comfortable space for workIt seems as if they started renovating an older hotel but for whatever reason stopped half way through If they fully updated it and improved on the things mentioned above, it would a really nice place that I would love to return to

I love this Travelodge! It’s in the perfect location right on PCH! Not far from anything! Walking distance to a bunch of fast food restaurants and shopping centers! The rooms are big, comfy & cute! The price is reasonable considering the price for everything now a days! Friendly staff! There’s a washer and dryer on site too! The one thing I don’t like is that they have a NO PETS ALLOWED policy! But there’s no deposit when you check in so that’s a plus! Small parking lot! Overall I give this hotel a 4 star rating!

Lulu Xu

We spent one night at this hotelPros – very friendly staff; great location for what we needed to be on the next morning Sizable bedroom, and the shower had a good water pressure

Cons – we requested a non-smoking room, which is I believe next to a smoking room I had to hold my breath when passing that room Pretty noisy from the vehicles passing by at night

Tiffany Francis

First thing their official site lists is “24 hour reception desk” and it couldn’t more wrong This hotel is not for you if you’re a relatively light sleeper You hear the main road all night and anyone outside

One night someone had locked their little dog in a room and barked ALL NIGHT I tried calling the front desk about 3am and several more times until a little 4:30am to see if they could call the room or the occupant to solve the problem They never answered They also weren’t around at 6am for me to check out to make my flight The guy at the front was friendly, but when you really needed assistance, it wasn’t there at “24 hrs” like the wyndham official statesI heard several other occupants go outside the night of the dog barking to investigate It was the worst night sleep everRooms were ok, pillows were lumpy and small square shape Bathroom is huge compared the over all room Floors were DIRTY My feet were covered in black grime following a shower Sink was missing a plug so anything could have fallen down in the holeLocation on the other hand, is decent Along Pacific Coast highway and lots of eateries and shops up the road

Amazing service!!!Definitely recommend for clean rooms and tons of space for hosting eventsWe just hosted our wedding at this location and were AMAZED at how great the service wasThis particular Marriott’s Senior Event Manager, Elissa, truly went above-and-beyond in ensuring we received all the help we needed, fulfilled every request, and was very proactive from day 1

Our guests who stayed at this hotel also told us about how much they enjoyed their stay, as this is a place that has pretty much everything on site (restaurant, coffee place, room service, etc) It was close enough to the freeways to allow for an easy drive in and was right across the street from a major shopping center, so it was in a pretty nice and lively areaThe hotel staff were also very accommodating with all of our guests who checked in, as I remember we had a few folks who needed XYZ support and it seemed like they definitely got it when they arrivedI also found this hotel to be very military friendly, as we had a small military service held here and they seemed more than okay with us doing our thingAlthough it is a bit pricey, I think it is well worth it because it seems like the staff and management really go all out to support the guests and ensure they have what they needI would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to host a major event (they have HUGE ballrooms that take up 3 floors of space!) and I’d also recommend it to anyone looking for a nice room to stay in with easy access to local food and drink, as they have both on siteIf you do plan to host an event here (like a wedding or a work meeting or whatever), I would highly recommend Elissa as she was really great to us and gave us a ton of supportThank you, Elissa!

Ivan W

Rooms are nice Looks like it was recently renovated Hotel is very busy; hard to get any upgrades

Very convenient to the mall next doorStaff very friendly and professional While they weren’t able to check me in when I arrived, they did their best to get me a decent room as soon as possible

Iwanda Williams

The hotel itself is beautiful But when I made my reservations and paid for this room, I was not informed that it was a hold of $100 per night until I arrived at the hotel The manager did reduce the hold but I ask for the corporate office number

Everything I call the number it’s a fast busy signal I will not stay at this overrated hotel again

I had an enjoyable stay here the night before a cruise I was in a corner suite, and the room was gigantic, very spacious and well-appointed – there was even a gas fireplace (though I did not use) I had a great stay and enjoyed the continental breakfast in the morning before using the free shuttle service to go to the cruise port right down the street

I did notice the pool was empty and did not appear to be in use, I’m not sure if this was due to the season (mid-March) or if the pool is out of service, though the weather was very cool at the time of my stay I would not hesitate to stay here again for a future cruise

Semper Xavier

Great location for a Royal Cruise Great rooms Comfy beds

Not sure if every room has it but love the in room A/C with full wireless remote control adjust from in bed! Finally great/helpful and friendly staff Shout out to Catherine for making sure we had good recommendations for close restaurants and getting us setup with the shuttle during a hectic schedule change (cruise embarkation time change)

MsDaemonette “Lyzz”

Exceeded my expectations in breakfast, decor of the hotel, and how wonderful the staff was! Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to nearby places (like Long Beach) The staff was very courteous and kind Anytime we saw them during our 6-day stay they said greetings and genuinely seemed like they enjoyed being there

Breakfast was above expectations They have buffet style with eggs sausage potatoes, yogurt’s juices coffee it was marvelous Location was difficult for the better (more well lit) parking Most of the time had to go to the parking at ground level (which is not as well lit)Swimming pool and spa were clean Spa was like warm water, not too hotThe gym has a few treadmills and ellipticals, Free weights and basic hotel gym suppliesOne of my favorite hotel amenities was there water station! The water was SO GOOD! I wish hotels all had these water stations!

Had a big family reunion at the hotel! They were very accommodating with the family, with all of the check ins and the use of the Catalina room for games and activitiesOur specific room had a lovely view of the ocean The sliding glass door to our room had great noise canceling as well

We were able to hear live music from a local car show with it open and then close it to take a nap Great room, clean and functional, no issues!

Christina

Checking in for our reservation was fast and the hotel is walking distance to the pier The hotel is decorated nicely There is a bar in the middle of the lobby as well as a gift shop

My room had a decent view of the ocean and was a nice size The bed soft and comfy For one night the room was about $250, parking $32 and deposit $100

Sea & Bill Peterson

This Sonesta is outstanding The staff were wonderful, especially Angel Luis, the manager, was amazing

The only downside is the parking situation The fees are high and the automated system was not functioning People playing their personal music by the pool was irritating; especially the young kids and their heavy metal sounds We had to close our doors and go inside, despite having notified the front desk It would have been handy to have a restaurant on site

One night someone had locked their little dog in a room and barked ALL NIGHT I tried calling the front desk about 3am and several more times until a little 4:30am to see if they could call the room or the occupant to solve the problem They never answered They also weren’t around at 6am for me to check out to make my flight The guy at the front was friendly, but when you really needed assistance, it wasn’t there at “24 hrs” like the wyndham official statesI heard several other occupants go outside the night of the dog barking to investigate It was the worst night sleep everRooms were ok, pillows were lumpy and small square shape Bathroom is huge compared the over all room Floors were DIRTY My feet were covered in black grime following a shower Sink was missing a plug so anything could have fallen down in the holeLocation on the other hand, is decent Along Pacific Coast highway and lots of eateries and shops up the road

Stayed a week on Family vacationIn a pretty good location, fairly close to several attractions/entertainment options Beautiful beach within 8min of hotel; Manhattan Beach/Pier (Less busy than Santa Monica)Good staff service, with good breakfast, and reception food n beverage options

The Hotel does a decent job keeping the facility and rooms clean Just needs to be cleaned more frequently, if possible, and a little more thoroughlyOverall, a pretty satisfactory stay for the week!!!

Overall the staff in the kitchen area really made our stay pleasant The Mexican and Filipino lady always greeted us with a smile each morning and offered to make waffles prior to it being busy, the free dinner offered from Mon-Thurs was an extra added bonus too, free wine selections and beer craft on tap The ladies offered to take our plates it was next level service

The cleanliness of the hotel was amazing only down fall was the fact that house keeping is only offered on certain days unless you request it with 24hours notice No daily house keeping Parking was $18 per day Another issue I had was they only had one set of elevators so if your room is on the other side of the building it was a far walk to the elevators There was stairs but it could be an issue if you have to carry things up etc overall nice hotel

Very close to Redondo Beach, restaurants, drug stores, etc Staff was very friendly Our room was clean and cutely decorated with beach theme

Good size fridge and microwave included There was a cold filtered water station in the lobby to fill your water bottles The continental breakfast exceeded my expectations waffles (flavored changed daily), scrambled eggs, sausage, breakfast potatoes, coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruit, bagles, hard boiled eggs in other words you will be full for your day adventure! Parking was free, easy and included some covered spots

The manager refused to help and purposely ran off after their system DOUBLE CHARGED our family’s card account for a PREVIOUS date of service of a former stay He left his poor employee to handle the issue on her own and then had the NERVE to come back the next day and call us liars to our bank (even though the employee confirmed it)… We DO NOT RECOMMEND this business because of the lack of accountability and UNPROFESSIONALISM of their supervisors If I didn’t complain urgently enough, they would’ve let us sleep on the street with our newborn!!

Such an Exquisite Hotel and Grandeur presence Entire hotel immaculate and rooms are well appointed I like that the sink is outside/separate of the shower and toilet area

The shutter that divides the two beds is a genius idea The decor is elegant and traditional but yet felt modern The room size was massive for a standard double room It felt like a 500 sq ft room The coffee in the room was very goodUnfortunately, we only stayed one day and arrived late so we didn’t get to eat at the restaurant or enjoyed the outside courtyard nor the many areas to explore and to just relax and soak in the atmosphere We did, however, get to enjoy the fireplace while having a late night snack I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant as the food smelled heavenly Additionally, there are many shopping centers/plaza across the street which we didn’t get to take advantage of as well The entire area is completely safe and very well lit as it is a very lively town The hotel does have a private parking for a fee I will definitely come back and stay longer

Ayres Hotel is comfortable and homely Staff are friendly and we loved the pool and spa Rooms were serviced daily and everything was spotlessly clean and today

Location is good, next time I would ask for a room not overlooking the freeway Stayed here with my husband and adult son Plenty of room for the three of us and privacy between the beds and the shutters were a great idea We will be back!

Lynne Henley

The employee that was on the desk the night of my arrival was very professional and he greeted me with a sincere and warm welcome I was so exhausted from the work day, that he had to literally verbally guide me to my room The room was exceptionally clean throughout which made the night very relaxing for me

I will truly recommend this hotel to my guest and use it again for local retreats
