Top Santa Monica Place Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Miramar Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a nice boutique style environment with nice nighttime entertainment. No Ice machines in the building and it needed to be ordered to the room which was just another thing to top for. Hotel is far from beachfront property. Beach is across a street, down a large embankment, and across a major highway to walk to. About a 15 minute walk. $50 per day resort fee is absurd considering the pool area is the only thing we used and couldn’t even get a lounge chair. Hotel staff was friendly however restaurant staff was a touch arrogant. However Pool, front desk and front door staff were great. Overall nice hotel but If you’re looking for a relaxing beachfront vacation this probably isn’t for you."
