Serene weekend

Sep 9, 2024 lambmj San Jose, California

We had a relaxing stay here. The bungalows are especially quiet and nicely appointed. We had reservations in the tower but the staff told it could be noisy on the weekends so we moved. Very glad we did. The staff is impeccable. They have a car available for short trips. Special shout out to Herb C. for his service and friendly demeanor. Also the… Read more

Pool day

Sep 6, 2024 R L

Pool was dirty and small. No attendant to help with towels or to order drinks. No staff in site. Hot tub full of foam and packed with people. Just dirty. Wish I could have ordered a drink at the pool. Bar without staff. Price gouging! Not luxury. Breakfast restaurant overpriced, 30$ for an omelet. Food was mediocre. Dirty Bloody Mary very… Read more

Do Not Stay Here!

Sep 3, 2024 John S

Doesn't live up to the Fairmont brand. Called 2x pre-arrival about our flight landing at LAX at 11pm and our hotel arrival being around midnight PST. When arriving, not offered water by the front desk or any question about how our trip to the hotel was. There was also no note on our account and thus, our room was sold. Told the front desk manager we would take any room for the evening and change to our original room the following morning. This manager only wanted us to pay for an upgraded room. The conversation about re-allocation to another hotel began after I called the Amex Platinum Travel # (they stayed on speaker for +10 minutes negotiating on my behalf as they were befuddled by the handling of the situation by the front desk/manager). Only after learning my wife was 7 months pregnant did the front desk manager offer a room that evening at no additional cost. The room we were put into had poor working A/C - room didn't get below 75 degrees (see previous comment about 10th floor ocean view room - likely the same room). We went to order room service the following day and learned our room was missing the iPad every room is supposed to have; however, it 'magically' was delivered earlier that day and thus could be installed (why wouldn't you have extras on hand in case one breaks?). There are millions of dollars in deferred maintenance in the building and the staff knows it. Multiple employees told us about the A/C needing an entire overhaul and 1 of 2 Ocean Tower elevators not working for +1 year (they conveniently don't even have a sign up anymore - you just realize it when you are only picked up by 1 elevator your entire stay). There are a few gems in the hotel - front desk manager (John/Destiny) did their best to rectify the situation midway through our stay. Also, the restaurants we ate at (Fig & Soko) had great food with amazing staff. Read less

Nice stay at Fairmont Santa Monica

Sep 1, 2024 Kjell E Bergen, Norway

Very helpful staff. The room was well maintained and extremely clean. Sleep quality superb. The oceanview from the balcony was perfect. Some parties going on in the Hotel garden in the evenings but did not not disturb at all. (Ocean Tower). Music was kept at a low level and stopped early. The only thing that was a bit anoying was other guests the got up at 06:00?? in the morning to place their towels at the sun beds and then maybe turned up again around 11:00 to stay there for a couple of hours. These towels should just be removed by the staff. The iconic Hotel Fairmont is a bit pricy, but you know that when you make your booking. In this case you get what you pay for. Our 4 nights stay at Fairmont will be remembered for a long time. The ride we got in the Hotels Lucid was also a great gesture that we loved. Really looking forward to stay at Fairmont next time we are in Santa Monica. Thanks a lot for making good memories Read less

Had high expectations, left disappointed

Aug 24, 2024 Iana G

There’s a certain expectation when you stay at a Fairmont and this was a disappointing experience. The room I was put in was awful- dated and smelled like cigarettes. There are two towers - the Ocean tower (fancier and newer rooms) and the palisades (“historic” aka old and dated). The rest of my party were moved/upgraded to the Ocean tower but my request was not accomodated. I was however moved to another room in the Palisades tower that was much better than the first room. Beds were stiff and uncomfortable, the TV was small and glitched on and off, had wires hanging from it (looked like a sloppy setup). Bath had a tub not a walk-in shower and was pretty small. The carpet was stained and smelled like Fabreeze (beat the cigarette smoke from the first room). The La Labo toiletries were nice, though Rose 31 was just fine. Room did not have a balcony (only Ocean tower rooms do) and all I wanted to do after a long day was unwind on the balcony. The commom grounds are nice, well manicured landscape. The pool area is small and was just fine - people eating at Fig were overlooking the pool area which is just weird if you’re trying to unwind. The best part were the Valet - Alvarez was the man. So kind, professional and down to earth, not like some of the other snobby staff. Self parking is $60 which is insane but given it’s the Fairmont and the location, is understandable I guess. Overall, had high expectations given the reputation that the a Fairmont holds and unfortunately, this one didn’t live up to it. Read less
