My stay at Shutters On The Beach had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the room was overall lovely and cozy. However, I faced several issues, including a disappointing view despite paying a premium price, and there was a frustrating check-in experience that left me waiting far too long. Overall, it delivered some nice moments, but I think the hotel could improve on service consistency.
Rooms
7.0
The room was cozy and well-furnished, although I was initially disheartened by a wall view instead of the ocean. After some discussion, I was able to change rooms, which made a big difference. The bathroom was nice, but I found the locked cabinet for amenities a bit stingy given the high room rate.
Service

The staff were generally friendly and attentive, which I appreciated, especially when they offered complimentary meals during our long wait. However, I felt a lack of warmth on some occasions, which could improve the overall experience.

I recently stayed at Shutters On The Beach for a special occasion. The location is absolutely stunning—right by the beach and close to the Santa Monica Pier. The service was mostly friendly and accommodating, though I did encounter some hiccups during check-in that could have been smoother. The room I had was nice but felt a bit dated, and I wished the decor was more current. Overall, despite a few drawbacks, I had an enjoyable experience.

My room was nice and clean but felt somewhat worn and dated. The decor was kitschy, and not what I expected for the price. I was hoping for better views than just a wall.

I had a great stay at Shutters On The Beach, enjoying the fantastic ocean view from my room and the attentive staff. The check-in and check-out process was probably the smoothest I've ever experienced. However, the rooms could use some updating to match the high price point, as there were a few maintenance issues that detracted from the overall luxury vibe. Despite these hiccups, I would recommend the hotel for its location and friendly service.

The pool area wasn't what I expected, and I found the service there lacked attention. Room service was decent but could definitely use more menu options.

Shutters On The Beach is a beautiful hotel with well-appointed rooms and a truly excellent staff. The location can't be beat, right on Santa Monica Beach, but the surrounding area had issues that impacted my stay. I encountered problems with cleanliness on the beach and some disruptive elements nearby, which really dampened the experience, especially given the price I paid. I appreciated the complimentary yoga and the attention from the staff, but overall, the external factors made me hesitate to recommend it.
Rooms
7.0
My room was lovely, featuring hardwood floors and a very comfortable bed, but the view was disappointing as it faced a busy road. The amenities were in a locked cupboard, which felt a bit stingy. The daily water bottles were a nice touch, though.
Service

The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, addressing me by name and making me feel valued. They offered great customer service throughout my stay, though some aspects seemed a bit pressured, as they worked largely for tips.

The hotel's beach location is fantastic for getting around Santa Monica, but the surrounding area has issues with homelessness that detracted from the overall experience. Unfortunately, this affected my comfort level during my stay.

The hotel offers good facilities, including room service and housekeeping, but everything felt a little pricey, from the cabana rental to dining options. The complimentary yoga classes were definitely a highlight.

I had a mixed experience at Shutters on the Beach. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach, and the staff were generally friendly and eager to help, but the service felt inconsistent, especially at check-in. The room was decent but dated, and the amenities didn't quite measure up to the high price tag. Overall, it had its highlights but didn't fully live up to the hype for me.
