I had a mixed experience at the Fairmont Miramar. The location was fantastic, making it easy to access the beach and local attractions. However, I faced some challenges with housekeeping and my room amenities, which impacted my overall comfort. Despite the lovely dining experiences, the inconsistency in service was a downside during my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows. The unique bungalow experience was good, and I loved the beautiful garden area where the restaurant Fig is located (it's such a picturesque spot for dining!). However, the noise from the bar near my ocean view room was disruptive at night, which detracted from my overall experience.

Rooms

The bungalow I stayed in was private and tranquil, providing a comfortable retreat. However, the ocean view room I had before had loud music from the bar that made it difficult to relax.

My stay at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel was generally great, with an amazing ocean view and fantastic dining at Fig. However, I noticed some minor drawbacks, such as the pool area being a bit cramped during busy times and the spa not living up to expectations.

Rooms

I stayed in an ocean view suite on the 6th floor, and it was fantastic! The combination of a separate lounge and full-sized dining table made it feel spacious and inviting. My only critique was the absence of a mini bar price list.

I had a mixed experience at Fairmont Miramar. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, and the dining options were solid, particularly at Fig. However, I faced some annoyances like room issues and slow service that really took away from the luxury I expected.

Rooms

6.0

My first room was just okay, not matching the high price I paid. The bathroom reminded me of an old Holiday Inn, and despite an upgrade, I still encountered issues like a non-functional bathtub drain. The bungalows seemed nice but lacked privacy due to their proximity to the pool area.

Service

5.0

While I encountered issues, some staff like Katy Lee provided really good follow-up to my concerns. However, the service I experienced at the restaurant was slow, and my repeated requests for help weren't met promptly, which was frustrating.

Location

The hotel couldn’t be in a better spot! It’s close to Santa Monica Beach and the buzz of the Third Street Promenade. Great for taking morning walks, and the shuttle service to the beach was a nice touch, though coordination could use improvement.

Dining

7.0

Fig restaurant was a standout with delicious food. I enjoyed the meals I had, but the service was hit or miss. I had to wait long for my food during one visit, which took away from the experience.

Facilities

6.0

The pool area was lovely for lounging, but the gym could use some upgrades. Also, I faced technical issues with room amenities like the tablet and phone, making it feel less luxurious overall. The spa experience was decent, though the environment wasn’t amazing.
