"A nice little hotel close to everything. The people who work here are outstanding. The hotel was clean. I took one star off because our little refrigerator rocked back and forth and it felt like it would fall forward. But the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was nice and the towels were clean. The hardest part was the parking. The cars are very close to each other. The woman who works the registration desk actually walks out when someone comes in or leaves to help supervise and make sure the cars are protected. She was very nice."

"We were very happy with our stay at the hotel. The location is outstanding — truly one of its biggest strengths. It is within walking distance of the Santa Monica Pier, the beach, restaurants, and shops, which made our trip much more convenient and enjoyable. The staff was extremely attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our entire stay. From check-in to daily interactions, everyone was always helpful and genuinely kind, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The room was another highlight: spacious, modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. The hotel manages to combine a contemporary style with real comfort, not just aesthetics. Everything felt functional, clean, and thoughtfully designed. As a point of attention, the hotel parking is quite expensive at $65 per night. For longer stays, this can significantly increase the overall cost of the trip. Because of that, we chose to park at a public parking garage located just half a block away, which was a much more reasonable option. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again."

"Hotel is in a great spot, right by the Pier. Pool was really warm, not super refreshing, but the hot tub was nice. Room was great, had a partial ocean view, bed was comfortable. Lots of restaurants around as is the 3rd avenue promenade for shopping."

"Friendly professional staff, a beautiful coastal view room on the north side viewing the Santa Monica Pier, exceptional pool and oversized hot tub with food/drink service anytime, absolutely delicious avocado salmon toast with poached eggs and fresh juice drinks. Ambiance and upbeat energy in the main lobby with piano playing at night. Beach location doesn’t get any better. "

"I loved my stay here! The hotel itself is fantastic, the staff is great, and the rooms are very clean. However, I want to be honest for future travelers: the 'full beach view' photos are a bit misleading. My view was partially obstructed and didn't quite match the pictures online. Everything else was perfect, though!"

"We had a beautiful, wonderful time in a sea view room at the Fairmont. The only thing they could improve upon is all the bars etc closing before 10. It would have been great to be able to order a wine to the room for the evening. The hotel is perfectly located though, and the staff were friendly and helpful. "

"Everything was great except for the parking. It was a tiny lot that only held about 6-8 cars, and it was tight. The room was awesome, very clean and spacious, and the little sidewalk going down to the ocean was well kept. Very close to Santa Monica Pier."

"It is a small hotel with limited amenities. Just your average stay. I would go for another hotel next time. "

"Upgraded room without asking. Staff were great very helpful. Pool was perfect. Located in a great area walking distance to everything."
