Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful hotel that has a perfect location in Santa Monica. You are on the beach, right next to the pier, 5 minute walk to the shops and a pleasant 20 minute stroll to...

Not worth the money

This hotel is wonderful. The rooms are very well appointed, beautiful large bath tub, great beds and service. They are currently working on putting in a jacuzzi by the pool so there was some slight...

We chose Shutters as our first stopover on a fly-drive holiday at the beginning of June, mainly because guidebooks advertised it as one of few Santa Monica hotels actually located on the beach (i.e....

Overrated dump

This place is a joke. First of all, there is massive construction going on which has closed the pool and left dust everywhere. There is hammering and drilling at all hours of the day on every floor....

2nd visit, there won't be a 3rd!

The proximity to the beach makes up for any minor quip about this wonderful hotel. They make it a point to make the place feel warm and luxurious with out it being pretentious. That's probably how...

Great Hotel, at least in parts

Shutters is a classic in the L.A. area, and it continues to live up to its reputation. As others have said, it has been going through serious renovations. We stayed there April 16-17, '08, and 1...
