Shoreham Hotel

This was a great experience for two travelers who had no hotel reservations at the beach. The midweek price was a great deal. Rooms are small but impeccable clean. We had a king size bed_ a smaller bed would have given more space in the room. Nothing fancy, but cute and comfortable- it’s vintage OCMD. The only negative would be the stairs. No elevator and super steep staircase. Reminds me of a hidden staircase in an old mansion. They offer an outdoor area to spray off the sand. It’s sits atop the Shenanigans Bar and Grill- so you don’t have to go far for food and libations. We would definitely stay here again for a no frills stay at the beach.

This was my first trip to the Big Apple, my wife had been there before. We came to celebrate our 30 wedding anniversary. We picked the Shoreham for its location and it’s price fit into our budget. Not knowing what to expect I was a little apprehensive but quickly felt at ease as the front desk staff was friendly, professional and very helpful. They had our reservation and got us a nice room. It had a nice size king bed that was very comfortable. The room was cozy and clean. The air conditioner kept the room cool and we could open the window and listen to the sound of the city. There was a restaurant the was in the building and the food smelled good but we didn’t try it . There was also a gift shop that sold cool drinks and snacks. The whole staff was great. The housekeepers came in everyday and cleaned our room. I would absolutely stay there again. We felt safe and relaxed after each day in the city.

The best thing to say about this hotel is that it is in a great location. Otherwise, my room, though clean enough, was actually shabby. The carpet is creepy, room generally could be classified as "no charm." Amentities were very very basic; there is no coffee maker in the room (but luckily a great coffeeshop a block and a half away). The housekeeping staff and doormen were very nice while front desk people tended on the curt side.

For our first post-pandemic trip to NYC, we chose The Shoreham for the night of June 3 because we had been satisfied when we stayed there pre-pandemic. We were greatly disappointed with our room (rm 310). We did not request a handicap room. In the handicap room the bathroom takes up a lot of the floor space, BUT inside the bathroom, there is almost no space for toiletries and no door on the shower, which did not appear to have a non-skid floor. In the room itself, there were very few (2) electrical outlets for charging our phones. The window of the room faced a building a few feet away from which occupants could observe the room. A light blocking screen was provided but this effectively meant that the room had no window. There was no coffee maker in the room, the prior fee coffee in the lobby area had been eliminated and we could not even purchase a cup from the restaurant when we returned to our room in the evening. |Importantly, a working TV is a basic amenity in a hotel room. We returned to the room in the evening to find the TV not working (no networks, no cable or streaming...just snow). When we called the desk to say there was no TV service, we were told it was not working and someone would be there in the morning to reset the connection in our room. The service did return before checkout, but did not require anyone to come in the room to reset. When we complained to the desk at checkout, they said that the cable must have been out, but that the hotel is not financially responsible for this because TV comes from cable company. This is unacceptable. The hotel provides services using outside companies but it ultimately the hotel that is responsible. I believe I am due some compensation for the lack of multiple amenities and the deficiencies of the room assigned to us.

Flor greeted me at check-in and was very accommodating and friendly. She was professional and efficient. I live locally, but I have roommates so every other month I do a night away. I love exploring the different parts of the city, so I go out of my neighborhood. This was a great location for a local or tourist. The street has several restaurants, everything from juice press to fancy Italian. I would say don’t expect fancy, this is my second time staying here. The rooms are a decent size, clean and restful. If you really want quiet, ask for a room at the back of the hotel. If you want more light, then get a street facing room. The beds are comfortable. This particular room had a living room and bedroom, which was really nice, the bathroom was tiny but sufficient.

I am at the Shoreham for a work trip for one night within the budget given which was around $300 including taxes and fees, not so much for NYC. I am giving 5 star because the room is very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and location is amazing and the great value for the price but I would say it’s a 3/4 star hotel. I’m giving 5 star for service because the staff are very friendly. Please be aware to bring good earplugs because you will hear everything from the street, but again it’s NYC, I was prepared with my best earplugs and got a great sleep. The front desk was very sweet to give me an upgrade to a suite. The suite is very spacious, the living area needs a little freshen up but I was not expecting luxury for the price I paid. The hotel has a fitness center which is a huge bonus and a little store at reception with water/sodas/coffee and snacks. There’s a nice looking restaurant attached I didn’t try but looks decent. The front desk mentioned the hotel is getting a renovation to become closer to a 5 star hotel hopefully the prices stay similar to what they are now. I will definitely return to this hotel for short trips after the renovation because you cannot beat the location for the amazing price for a NYC room. The Peninsula is a few doors down as is The St Regis. If you’re on a budget and you are looking for no frills, clean within walking distance of everything I highly recommend this hotel

The hotel was nice, our rooms were really comfy-especially the beds. The bathroom was weel-eyuipped. The hotel has a great location, close to the big city life:), but the rooms are so quite, no noises from the streets.||At the front desk, Flor was extremly nice and kind, sensitive to our personal problems, and was so ready to help. She made us to think about returning to the hotel as soon as we have a chance :)

another quick weekend local trip. Staff is always friendly and make you feel at home. however, did come across with no TV in the room for a day. Management left a letter in the room that there was an outage. Issue was resolved the next day. Breakfast option would be great if added to the restaurant.
