9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,035 reviews)
I booked the Shashi hotel because I was attending a concert at Shoreline Ampitheater. It is walkable which was the reason for booking, but there’s also an option of renting bikes to get to the show. The hotel is beautifully designed with extra perks that haven’t seen offered in comparable hotels in a long time. I will definitely book again next time I’m attending a show at Shoreline.
