Profile

After a multi-million dollar renovation in 2005, The Shoreham finally joined the city’s fashionable hotel clique. The minimalist, white-walled lobby is punctuated with digital art installations and a spare, chic concierge desk. The young staff, dressed in black suits and crisp white shirts, is downright hip. The hotel’s 177 rooms come in all shapes and sizes, from the cramped Superior Kings on up to the 800-square-foot Atrium Loft Penthouse (equipped with what the hotel claims is the largest Jacuzzi in the city). Upping the relaxation level are Sharper Image iJoy massage chairs in select rooms, five-head rain showers, Aveda bath products, and a 24-hour self-serve cappuccino bar.

Pros

A complimentary glass of Champagne upon check-in helps guests to shake off city stress. Touches like comfy Belgian bed linens, 300-count down comforters, pillow-top mattresses, and an in-house fitness center don’t hurt either.

Cons
You’re better off leaving the curtains drawn in some of the guest rooms with their not-so beautiful views of brick walls.

Living Off A 2005 Review!!!!

This hotel no longer lives up to the review it received in 2005 for "Best Business Hotel!" I've stayed in better Days Inns Hotels 25 years ago which should cause this hotel great embarrassment! I have a 6'3 co- worker who was too big for his bed. The rooms were dirty. The towels were of poor quality. There are no views. Water cooler in fitness room remained empty after several requests to be filled, and one needs to wait behind hotel staff in order to get supposedly complimentary coffee and tea. Shocking, for the price range, and especially when there are sooo many nicer hotels in the area in the same price range!
