Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed signals: some praise for housekeeping and overall atmosphere, but multiple mentions of dirty/scuffed furniture and cleanliness issues in rooms.
Service
9.8
Generally very strong service: repeated praise for valet (Melvin & Kris), front desk staff (Mateo) and attentive pool/reception teams; however there are notable exceptions (reception ignored some complaints and handled room-change poorly).
Location
10
Consistently excellent: repeatedly described as ‘great location’, walking distance to beach and Santa Monica Pier, superb views from rooms.
Room Quality
6.5
Several complaints about outdated rooms, no view despite booking ocean view, scuffed furniture and AC not functioning properly — room quality is a clear weak point.
Amenities
8.8
Property and amenities (pool, lounges, meeting spaces) are generally appreciated, though pool is described as small/crowded, not enough sunbeds and some late-night noise from bars/events.
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed/leaning negative: expensive valet fees and complaints about tipping pressure and perceived poor handling of serious issues (e.g., food poisoning) reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Mixed: several positive comments about breakfast, cocktails and lounge food, but a serious negative report of food poisoning and staff response that hurt confidence in F&B safety/handling.
Overall Experience
10
Overall stays are frequently described as enjoyable and recommendable (many guests would stay again), with strong atmosphere and location outweighing negatives for most reviewers.

Great stay in Santa Monica
Pros:

Great location, atmosphere & dining/drinks options.

Cons:

When I checked out, I had £200 worth of incorrect charges to my bill from two separate transactions. It was refunded but not what I was expecting from a hotel like the Fairmont!

Great service and view
Pros:

This was our first time at this hotel. I booked it with the visa luxury collection. The service was above and beyond. We got welcome gifts and they were super accommodating. The view was incredible and its close walking distance to the beach, pier and shopping. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing time
Pros:

Come with an expectation that it's an older hotel...

Yes there some remodeling that needs to be done but honestly the service, food, and LOCATION outshined here. They attempt to modernize the rooms which I give them credit for because it's not that bad but bathrooms are expected to be outdated since this hotel is old as their humongous fig tree. It still was not terrible! Everything was working well still in our room and bathroom. Rooms were clean! Great value for Amex members.

We love the service here. Everyone was so professional and kind. Those valet guys were the best we ever had!! And we stay in numerous hotels in country and internationally! They honestly were so kind in taking our scooters in and out of storage whenever we needed them. Daniel was great and so were the others! Those guys need more credit running around in their suits in this heat while maintaining their smiles and professionalism, and managing the constant chaos in this roundabout!

Food was amazing at the FIG. Better than I expected it to be!

Location is clutch here. This is close to all the shopping, restaurants, park, and most importantly the beach! You can rent e-bikes and bikes here.

We love how this hotel is dog friendly as well! Mr. Chuck had a splendid time. We definitely will be back!!

Exceptional Stay Thanks to Jordan and the Team
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at the Fairmont Miramar. The hotel is beautiful, the location is perfect, and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming.

A special thank you to Jordan, our concierge, who truly made our trip. He went above and beyond to help us throughout our stay and nothing was ever too much trouble.

Jordan helped us book a Waymo so we could experience a driverless taxi for the first time, and he also arranged our car rental so we could enjoy a day trip to Santa Barbara, the Getty Villa, and Zuma Beach. His recommendations and local knowledge made our holiday even more memorable.

Thank you to Jordan and the entire Fairmont Miramar team for making our stay so special. We look forward to coming back!
