They shut down all the main elevators for maintenance/repairs so we had to use the ONE and ONLY service elevator. It was new the dirty laundry shoot, smelled terrible, and too forever to get up or down cause there ONLY ONE! Not something you want to experience after having a good dinner then going to your room through a dirty and smelly service access hall, especially when paying $600/night

I’m always happy to stay at the Fairmont. Excellent service and a very convenient spot from which to explore Santa Monica. I was particularly pleased on this trip, when an upgrade was not available, I was given a $100 credit on food and drink instead. Much appreciated.

Very nice resort hotel. Convenient location in Santa Monica but not too close to the pier area. Christmas decorations were outstanding. Love that fig tree. We spent some time in the lobby bar and enjoyed talking with bartenders. Tried happy hour at the Fig Restaurant which was great! Love the Dogtown Coffee Shop on site.

Unfortunately this Fairmont is due for an upgrade and renovation. Although the staff was friendly and helpful, it doesn’t make up for some of the basic necessities it lacked. The ocean tower elevator’s button wasn’t working, there were never any clean towels at the pool area (with dirty towels pilling up in the clean basket), and the beds were quite dented. The worst part was the drunken party goers yelling profanities at 3AM in the morning returning to their room.

The bar/club next door thumps until after 1am… and then there were protests every morning at 7am outside. Drums, horns, bullhorns… needless to say I didn’t sleep great. Only has one working elevator. Old hotel has lack of outlets and several not working.

This property is clearly run by greedy racists who refuse to give the employees basic necessities like health insurance. Every single morning, protesters will be outside with drums and blow horns waking everyone up. I was unable to relax a single night in this hotel. It is very clear that the Hispanic population is being taken advantage of by this disgusting company. Considering they charge $38 for two eggs I cannot fathom any reason why they cannot afford to take care of their staff. The rooms are outdated. The heat does not work. The walls are paper thin. The shower is straight out of the 50's not sure how anyone could use them. The soaps provided dry out your skin and hair. The ONLY redeeming quality of this location was the staff working were polite and attentive. Seems like this being their only good commodity they would invest in their employees. Would not recommend to anyone and will tell everyone to avoid this brand.
