Santa Monica hotels near Santa Monica Pier

Cons: everythings good

Cons: Pool is quite small.

Cons: Lots and lots of hidden fees. Booked a superior partial ocean view room$540, when i checked in, the view was literally of stairs. Upgraded for a partial ocean view room. Extra $185. On checkout total with fees and taxes and the mandatory parking fees that wasnt disclosed (even though i self parked due to covid) $1050. Needless to say we are never staying there again.

Cons: The stupid snack and mini bar set-up... Too much stuff around the room. I don't want to be bombarded with things to buy when I'm in a private room.

Cons: Construction noise made sleeping difficult.

Cons: Taxes, fees, and parking added ~$100 to an already-pricey room. We were also somehow billed for minibar purchases we did not make.

Cons: No lobby to speak of because it was undergoing renovation.

Cons: Just dated a bit, and hotels are hotels, noisy and overpriced. That is why Airbnbs are so cool.

Cons: Super high prices not at all justified by the experience. Stiff, unfriendly staff. Even after the very high room rates, there were no extras included. Virtually everything is a la carte extra cost -- from beach towels ($35/towel), parking (>$45/day), etc. The double queen room layout wasn't at all "family friendly". We loved Santa Monica, but didn't like the Shore Hotel at all.

Cons: Nickel and dimed to death. $7 to print out boarding passes in their business center. Forty dollars for breakfast. Thirty dollars for two drinks. Once I've paid for a nice hotel room, I like to think the hotel I've paid for is my home for the few nights I'm there. I felt like the Shore's mark. Can't even give me a cup of coffee? I won't be back. $8 bottle of water in the room. $35 towels mixed into the regular towels? I am not your huckleberry.

Cons: Need better pillows and lower parking rate for guests of the hotel.

Cons: Horrible customer service - they overcharged me for a number of items, including mini bar purchases that we didn't make, and then 'investigated' while we waited 20 minutes for them to tell us they had no receipts. They never apologized after essentially suggesting we were lying. They rented out the entire pool and outdoor area for a Lincoln car event so guests had zero access to the outdoor pool area, which was a main selling point of this hotel. The carpet in the hallways had duct tape in many places because it was old and ripped. When I initially called to tell them we were checking in late, I had to call back three times because they first transferred me to the wrong person, then put me directly into voicemail. When I finally spoke to reception to confirm they would hold our king bed high floor room, they said they don't guarantee a high floor, which is exactly what we paid for and I told them that was listed on my reservation. After arguing over it, they confirmed I would be on a high floor. Overall, customer service was lacking and you didn't feel at any time that you were a priority - more of an inconvenience for them actually. Not worth the price they charge and definitely not a relaxing experience.

Cons: Bathroom a bit basic, shower not great

Cons: Everything else.

Cons: No amenities : no dining, no roof deck, no pool, no bar. Fire alarm went off at 11:45pm ... No clue what was going on.

Cons: Unless you have one of the few rooms facing the ocean, you're just looking out over the parking garage into a space that's loud with air conditioner white noise. The rooms are fine, but small and unimpressive given the price.

Cons: Smoke in the room from the vent. Pillows feels like straw filling. Bedding ok. It is not a Fairmont standard.

Cons: For the price, I was hoping for a slightly more luxurious room with a more unique touch but the location and the rest of the hotel made up for it!

Cons: The staff was extremely rude, flowers were delivered to me that I didn't get untill a day and a half later, room service was poor, room is dirty, I would rate this a two star hotel.
