My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience, with exceptional customer service and a beautiful beachside location. The rooms were luxurious and well-appointed, making them worth the price. However, some aspects of the service fell short during peak times, leading to a frustrating dining experience. Overall, the hotel offers a top-notch beachfront experience but could improve on service consistency.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right by the beach and the vibrant boardwalk. They offer great entertainment along with delicious food and drinks in the lobby.

Overall, it's a great place to experience Santa Monica!

My stay at Shutters was quite the memorable experience, with exceptional staff who truly went out of their way to accommodate us. However, it's a shame that the beach area in front was not well maintained, detracting from the overall enjoyment. The atmosphere around the hotel had its ups and downs, particularly regarding safety and cleanliness. While the pool area was lovely, it did get crowded, so arriving early is advisable.
