Property certainly has seen better days, the hotel is in need of a facelift. The rooms decorations are outdated and stuffy. We couldn’t take a shower the first morning, since the plumbing didn’t work, we were moved to another room and there also did the shower drip all night and couldn’t be shut off. The hotel didn’t offer any discount for the troubles. The staff however was amazing. Overall the stay was ok

Great Location. It felt like, by stating I was with my daughter we ended up on the kid floor. On the 2nd floor there was a great deal of street noise, combined with kid noise. The windows really need to be more insulated. Beyond the noise, place was cool. Thanks.

Hello David,Thank you for your review. We can make note that you prefer a room on a higher floor. We may have had several families staying with us, but if noise is ever a concern, please let us know right away.

Only complaints were the room was almost 80 degrees F when I first walked in and needed engineers assistance to troubleshoot. Also, there wasn’t an in room dining menu so I called in room dining and they sent up a menu right away but they told me there was suppose to be a tablet to order from. I called the front desk and they said they would send one up but never did so I just called in my order.

Hi Jackson,We appreciate your feedback. I am glad we are able to rectify the HVAC issue. I am sorry that you did not receive the tablet and we will further investigate as there should have been a tablet in the room already. Our apologies for the oversite.

They shut down all the main elevators for maintenance/repairs so we had to use the ONE and ONLY service elevator. It was new the dirty laundry shoot, smelled terrible, and too forever to get up or down cause there ONLY ONE! Not something you want to experience after having a good dinner then going to your room through a dirty and smelly service access hall, especially when paying $600/night

I’m always happy to stay at the Fairmont. Excellent service and a very convenient spot from which to explore Santa Monica. I was particularly pleased on this trip, when an upgrade was not available, I was given a $100 credit on food and drink instead. Much appreciated.

Very nice resort hotel. Convenient location in Santa Monica but not too close to the pier area. Christmas decorations were outstanding. Love that fig tree. We spent some time in the lobby bar and enjoyed talking with bartenders. Tried happy hour at the Fig Restaurant which was great! Love the Dogtown Coffee Shop on site.
