Let me tell you something folks. You won't find a friendlier staff than the Shade Hotel. Reyna and Kayla were outstanding and welcomed my family with smiles and champagne. It doesn't get better than that. The room was clean and well put together. At first, I had trouble turning off the fancy lights, (Yes, they got fancy lights) but it was only because the light switch was so perfectly placed it couldn't disturb a baby. Out of sight and out of mind -- which by the way is exactly how I slept if you were interested in knowing thanks to the delicious champagne and beer that occupied my system that night.
The valet staff is amazing too. They helped my family unload our luggage and escorted us into the hotel lobby. When we needed our car, they would swiftly bring the vehicle. I think I heard one of the guys yell out "correcaminos"? to another, which If I heard and translated correctly online means "roadrunner". Let me tell you something else folks, if you are in a rush or just hate waiting for your car, the valet at Shade Hotel takes care of that.
My ONLY critique is that the bikes are a little run down. But they are included for free with your stay, so I guess beggars can't be choosers applies here. Overall, a great stay and I'm confident I will be back at Shade very very soon.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this littel boutique hotel. When we arrived the carribean Regae music playing in the commom areas made me feel welcome and like I really was on vacation. I had requested a room not overlooking the parking lot and though thats what I paid for when I mentioned I had missed my 60th bday during Covid19 they just surprised us when we arrived with a georgeous VIEW room complete with a tub on the balcony (Yes I used it!) .I dont think you should expect that but since the hotel was just back up and running it was very sweet of them. They also delivered a bottle of sparkling wine for us to have Sunday morning. The bikes for cruising were complimenatry and enhanced the whole stay as the Redondo location was perfect for bike riding to Hermosa for a mid ride cocktail and snack by the pier. The surrounding areas at the hotel were so pretty, the patio and restaurant and the bay of course. I can't wait to stay here again. Everyone was so nice at the hotel as well. BTW if you stay there try the Creme de La Crepe for breakfast in Riviera Village. YUM

My family and I had a long extended stay at Shade Redondo Beach while our home was being renovated. We thought it was going to be perfect because it is within walking distance to our house. But for the amount of money spent, it was a huge regret! The 2 stars is for the housekeeping & mini bar guy who were consistently kind and extremely helpful throughout our entire stay. They alone deserve 5 stars. The Deluxe view suites are harbor front rooms and the view is beautiful. However depending on capacity, it can get loud with parties and heavy smokers. Front desk customer service manager, etc, whenever there were inaccurate charges on our folio (which was constant), we had to stay on them to correct any inaccuracies. And when we ask for those issues to be addressed, they were at times dismissive. Customer service is excellent with some, and non-existent with others. You can walk right by them and speak and they say nothing! The entire staff should be courteous at all times to guests regardless.
3 family members and friends who were looking to book their weddings, asked our opinion of Shade Redondo because of the beautiful location and we gave our honest opinion and entire experience to them! As a South Bay resident for 20 years, you have lost our patronage and we will never recommend this hotel to our family or friends.

I had a birthday dinner at Shade for my husband’s 50th birthday and was very disappointed in the excessive fees and errors. Despite paying more than $1500 for the event, we were overcharged $40 on our event bill for the taxes. Additionally, We stayed at the hotel only one day and they authorized $1140 on my credit card. $350 before I even arrived then authorized $790 for the stay. For a room rate of $359, the amount held and fees were excessive. We ended up paying a total of 483 for the one night at the room. That included three items from the mini bar that came up to $30.48 because we paid a service charge and tax on each item which were already marked up. Then they charged an amenity fee of $20 despite not using any amenities. There is no pool or gym. Breakfast is not included. There is no concierge or a bell person to help with luggage. I’m pregnant and carried my own luggage to the room after waiting in line.
After paying for the room charges, the holds were finally released an entire week after checked out. We felt nickle and dimed. Be sure to check all the fees charged. The only reason I didn’t give Shade 1 star is because the location is close to the beach and the customer service was good for our birthday dinner. The food is also good but for the price point you’re better off stay at Ritz Carlton or a five star hotel. This is more of like a high end motel and the rooms are very tiny

When we arrived on a Saturday, we were told that the restaurant, bar and roof were for a wedding party only. We were not informed ahead of time. When we requested a 2nd robe, it took 3 calls before we received the robe. Also, we wanted a top sheet. Apparently, they follow European traditions and don't provide a top sheet. Again, after a few calls, we got a sheet. When our room was serviced, they did not replenish our toiletries, coffee, coffee cups, creamer and plastic cups. The last morning we had no soap or shampoo. When we went to the roof pool in the afternoon, we had to remove trays of food and used towels to sit. The room was beautiful, but the experience was dismal.

Beautiful hotel in Redondo beach with lovely view of the pier and boats. During my stay I got to enjoy a double rainbow that was absolutely stunning.
The executive room was spacious with a large living room and seating area and where the couch also turned into a sofa bed. Kayla was the most helpful during my one night stay making me feel welcomed and giving great advice. Overall I was very impressed by her hospitality and my experience at the Shade hotel and look forwards to staying here again in the future.

We spent 4 nights at the Shade hotel as a first stop on a overseas holiday with family from Australia in a king suite over looking the harbour, the rooms were super clean and comfortable, breakfast was fantastic which was included in price.
I would 100% come back and recommend this place especially if you have kids.
The only issue I had that I didn’t check out heated pool sooner as we on discovered it on last day.
Thanks Melanie and staff.
Cheers,
Anthony

I stayed at the Shade for a weekend with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday. We stayed in a King Suite with a marina view. The room was large and waking up to the marina view was amaaaazing, we absolutely loved it! I requested a room on the top floor after reading other reviews saying it was loud on the lower floors. It was totally quiet, private & peaceful. I'm glad they were able to accommodate that request because I overheard another guest in the lobby complaining about how loud the room above her was (they ended up moving her to the top floor for her second evening, she was not happy). Request the top floor!!
Definitely take advantage of the amenities (they'll charge you $10/pp regardless), the pool deck is beautiful and you can use bikes for 4hrs to ride up and down the beach. We ordered room service from the connected restaurant and it was tasty.
The staff was friendly, but honestly not as friendly as you'd expect for the price per night. Overall we will definitely return!

We stayed one Monday night at Shade. We arrived at check-in time (3 pm) and really wanted to rest, but the room wasn't ready (probably due to a wedding party) so we went to Sea Level Restaurant and ate a spicy chicken sandwich with truffle fries while looking at views of the harbor. At 4 pm we got the keys to our Deluxe Queen room 319, a very large and chilly room with a porch that overlooked a parking lot. From the parking lot, there was a nice view of a Wyland sea life mural on the side of a building. The room service menu was extensive. We ate complimentary breakfast in the Sea Level where, due to Covid, everything was wrapped in plastic: spoons and knives, muffins, and shelled hard boiled eggs in plastic cups. Orange juice was available from a dispenser. They had plastic cups of breakfast cereals and small cartons of milk. There was only one other couple eating breakfast in the room. When we checked out, I asked why the hotel had mandatory valet parking instead of a self-parking option because I noticed that the valets parked all the cars on the hotel grounds. The answer was that “guests request it.” On the plus side, all of the staff were polite, friendly and helpful, and we suspect wedding parties love it. Shade is new, modern, and definitely not cheap. It presents itself as a hip hotel, and it has a good location at the marina. But for us, it provided medium value for high price. The public areas and the restaurant felt impersonal, there was no place to hang the towels in or near the bathroom, and the valet parking monopoly felt unnecessarily grasping.

Steam showers are only available inside the 3 suites.
This hotel is independent owned however they did open a second in Redondo Beach that is more family friend oriented over the more intimate couple location
