It's rooms are spacious, bed is comfortable, and it's staff is very helpful. Well located and can walk to many things in Culver City. Ubers come quickly. Not far from the airport. My fav place to stay, in my past 10 trips to LA , I've stayed there 8 times.

Really rate this hotel, rooms are spacious and top quality. Great rooftop bar & pool and a small but decent gym. . Nice safe neighbourhood with some decent local restaurants & bars. Some noise from the trains but got used to it quickly. Bar could stay open a bit longer

The Shay is a clean, modern and well-appointed hotel in a great location. Rooms were good sized, beds comfortable and the shower was great with all the amenities you need. Staff was professional and friendly. We only stayed one night but were very pleased and would return when in LA!
