    The server at the pub carried my tea to my room! Wow!
    Barbara D.

    Wonderful service. The woman at the front desk carried my pot of herbal tea to my room, so I could enjoy the end of the day. I got great advice about restaurants and mushroom hunting. The service is what makes this place outstanding

    The Shelburne is part of the small Adrift group of hotels. It is like a large vintage home crossed with hotel amenities and good service. The one drawback is that many of the rooms get vehicle noise from Long Beach's main North-South road. Earplugs are provided. My room had a bathroom with a shower. The tile was dated but otherwise it was very presentable, including thick towels and hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They had cotton swabs and cotton balls, there was a black towel dedicated to makeup cleansing. They also have some hooded cotton-poly robes, more on that later. In addition to glass drinking glasses there are wine glasses in the room. The bedding was excellent. There is a good grocery across the street for wine, beer, and spirits. In the lobby, there are individual French presses, caf and decaf ground coffee, and tea, 24 hours. The building is trimmed with acres of clear vertical grain fir and bead board wainscoting. The history of building and moving the hotel could not be duplicated today. The overall design style is Adrift's mid-century-60s modern with Edison bulbs. My room faced the street and shared a rooftop deck with another room. The deck had two sets of folding tables and chairs. On the first floor there are several rooms with porches facing the side garden and bocce ball court. There is plenty of room inside in the lobby and the game room to chat or chill. It is about a half mile walk to the beach, or you can car or bike on 38th. The main Adrift is on the equivalent of 10th, about 1 mile. That location shares its saunas, pool, and bicycles with the Shelburne. That is a good use of the robes. Ask, of course, but the staff related that Shelburne guests would attire in their swim-sauna suits, throw on their robes, travel to the Adrift facilities, then return, informal-style. Every single employee I encountered was upbeat and happy. It's one of the finest examples of customer service I have ever seen. Shelburne is a great example of a vintage building as a hotel.

    Such a cool historic spot! I didn't know what to expect going there, but the prices are fair and the lady in the hotel at the time was very helpful. There's some stuff you have to know before going here... The hallways are crooked. Probably spirits lurking about (it's funny I didn't know it was a thing here, but one of the first questions I asked was if it was haunted). They're mostly friendly though. Haha. I love that kind of stuff though so I was stoked. I didn't get to try the food or cocktails, but next time! The garden is lovely and the rooms are super simple and cute. The bathtub was lovely to relax in for my birthday. I guess some people may have complained about the street noise but I didn't notice it at all. The fan was on all night so it covered it up! Very close to the beach, but no views. My only complaints: No mini fridges, understandable though. That would take away some charm, but it made it a bit difficult for trying to store milk/leftovers (they stored some milk in their fridge for us though so that was nice). Also, our room was so stuffy and it wasn't even that warm out. Out of the 4 windows in the room, two opened (the bathroom window and the balcony door). The fan helped though! Overall, very beautiful place that I'm so glad I got to stay in! I love old stuff like this.

    Feels like the best combination of a fancy restaurant and being at home. Food was amazing, again the chef beautifully combines "fancy" with rustic and I've never tasted such a wonderful combination. Truly a gem, makes my heart so happy to know I can grow old eating here, since I only live 30 min away!!! Also service was genuinely wonderful!! Thank you

    One of the best places to stay! The pub is classic the food is great and the staff is friendly and professional. The Restaurant is over the top one of the best meals I have ever had! The hotel room is clean and very inviting. Overall we were impressed with the staff and the way we were treated. We would strongly encourage you to to come and stay, eat and drink!

    The dank, musky smell pervading the whole building and threadbare, frayed sheets give evidence that this hotel is over 100 years old!!

It's a one floor motel so no worries about accessibility. Our room was refurbished and the decor was modern and cool. They had these felt panels on the walls that made it look modern in a good way and the room was huge and spacious. The windows opened so we could get fresh air and they have smart TVs. The room was extremely clean. In the lobby they serve breakfast which is basically a hard boiled egg, Svenhards type pastry, yogurt, cereal, and coffee, so temper your expectations. What's nice is that at night, when the staff is away, the lobby offers hot drinks like coffee, tea, and they even had microwave popcorn. How cool is that? They have a saloon attached, but we came on a cool weekday so they closed up shop and wasn't serving food or drinks so that was a let down. Mind you, this hotel is not on the beach, but it's a short walk away. It's not fancy, but it's centrally located and I'm happy to stay here again.

You're close to the ocean, surrounded by trees, and there's this constant sense of spaciousness that lets your mind open up. It creates the perfect conditions for artists to think, feel, and make work. What makes Arts Week truly special, though, is the people. The group of artists is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. You're in conversation all day long, whether that's over shared meals, spontaneous collaborations, or late night talks that somehow become the most meaningful part of the experience. It's rare to find a space where people show up this open and this willing to connect. The programming strikes a great balance. There's structure when you want it, like readings, performances, and workshops, but also plenty of unstructured time to follow your own creative instincts. There's also a real sense of care built into the week. The staff and organizers are thoughtful and attentive, and you can feel that they want everyone there to succeed!

The first floor of the historic lodge is very inviting. Listening to vinyl records in the homey living room was relaxing. They offer a good selection of creative snacks, grocery, and nick nacks. Two of the rooms were very spacious, we enjoyed use of the retro kitchen and eating on the balcony. Go enjoy a movie from an ample VHS selection. The door of some trailers were finicky to operate. Other than that the bed sagged a bit and more hooks would have been nice. The proximity to what Long Beach has to offer - including The Depot next door - is a huge plus. This was a great spot for our large wedding party. Props to being dog kind and employing a friendly and accommodating staff.

The property feels like a retreat with a lovely atmosphere that feels a world apart from Long Beach despite being so close in proximity to town. We didn't have time to make full use of the pool, sauna, or pickleball courts - but these amenities would be perfect for a rainy day at the coast and when we come back we'll make more time in our schedule to use them. Check-in/check-out was a breeze and staff was very pleasant. They let me borrow a lighter for a birthday cake which was much appreciated! The walk to the beach is very scenic and beautiful in itself.

We have new appliances, new countertop and backsplash, new floors, a larger couch, a huge king bed, a walk-in shower with a new vanity, and everything is just stunning. Very well done!

You'll have a gas fireplace, a lounge chair, a couch that folds out into a bed with a nice, squishy mattress, and a two person dining table. The staff here have been here a long time, and it's always nice to see a familiar face when we arrive. Shout out to Kevin! Always friendly and helpful. It's about a five minute drive to downtown Long Beach, where you'll find a bakery, an arcade, and lots of shops and restaurants. Don't forget you can even drive on the beach! You'll love it here.
