Hotel Carmel
This is charming hotel in the center of Santa Monica, every kind of dining is a step away from the front door. And the famous pier is a short walk. The bed was very comfortable with ample blankets and what not. The ceiling fan was perfect.

Fairmont Miramar Hotel
The hotel is amazing. Lots of effort into the ambiance and aesthetic. The staff are next level, with very personable and excited attitudes. It’s very welcoming from check in to out. The room is pretty outdated overall, but still really a magnificent view. It was a great stay and we’d love to come ...

It was a nice place but the amenities close early so we didn’t get to experience them.
