Estero Franco Holidays from AU$1,243

The staff was kind and accommodating.

Clean room. Great view of beach. Easy access to Venice beach.

I would rate this property a solid C+. It is fine. For where it is located (Beverly Hills adjacent), it's quite inexpensivce - just over $200 per night. Parking was a very reasonable $10 in their underground parking which was great. The rooms are small and not well appointed. There is vinyl plank flooring on the floors and walls of the bedroom and tile flooring on the floors and walls of the bathroom. It's clean which is nice, but not super cozy. There is no headboard, just a bed frame and mattress pushed up against a hard wall. There were only two cheap pillows on the bed with no additional pillows available in the room. There was only one night stand on one side of the bed with no lamp, light, or outlet to charge your phone. The other side had a floor lamp - so no nightstand at all, and again no way to charge your phone near the bed. Since we use our phones as alarm clocks as well, this was somewhat inconvenient. There was a small fridge in the room which was nice, but no coffee maker which we thought was unusual. Where the fridge used to be inside the dresser/cupboard was just a big empty useless space. There is no art on the walls which isn't really an issue - just makes the space seem sort of sparse and a bit neglected. There is a restaurant on site that serves decent food with a decidedly Korean flair. Again, nice. Nothing stellar, but at least you don't have to leave your hotel if you don't want to. It suited our purpose which was fine.

We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont. Staff was attentive and efficient, room was comfortable, and the vibe was great. Highly recommend.

If you’re planning to catch the shuttle to the Cruise port, make sure you sign up early! We booked this hotel, mainly for this amenity, but it was already full by 4 PM. They also have very limited maintenance staff, and none in the evening, so make sure everything in your room operates properly as soon as you check in.
