Pretty hotel, nicely situated in Santa Monica for access to the pier and promenade. Very small pool area but we preferred the beach. Over-priced breakfast buffet with average service at best in the restaurant. Slight problem with check-in time room availability but nothing outrageous. Room views vary by a large degree so I would strongly suggest understanding exactly the view... more

Not a great experience. After coming from top hotels in San Francisco and Las Vegas, we were somewhat disappointed with our stay at Loews. You are clearly paying for the location rather than the accomodation itself. The whole hotel was tired and needed a facelift and the staff were either excellent & very helpful or useless (no in-between!). Our room... more

My son and I have just returned from a two week stay at this hotel and while we had a great holiday, I was slightly disappointed with the hotel. Last summer, we stayed at Loews in South Beach, Miami and it was an unbelievable, luxurious hotel that I could not fault in any way. With this in mind and wanting... more

So, we have been staying here since they opened, always enjoy it, some more than others. We also stay at Shutters and Casa del Mar. Problem is, we want an ocean view room and the latter two have really jumped up in price the last few yrs. This year the Loews did too ( I stay in the same room... more

We stayed at the Loews for 6 nights in July 08 with our sons aged 20 and 16. The hotel is in an excellent position for the beautiful sandy beach, the pier and within easy walking distance of the town. We were disappointed with our room on the 3rd floor, which was dark, with a window onto a side street... more

First things first - the impact on arrival will ensure that you have a positive mindset for the stay at the hotel. A security fanatic door man rushed us to take our bags out of the car so our car could be moved - doesn't leave a warm fuzzy feeling of welcoming and that we're about to stay in a... more

Loews Hotel was fine though I wouldn't rave about it . I thought that it was quite expensive for USA 4* hotel compared to others that we stayed in but I had no complaints about it. It is in a good position for the beach. although not in the middle of town. We had teenagers with us and we all... more

We stayed at Loews for three days with our two teenagers. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with a wonderful location right on the beach and next to the Santa Monica Pier. The staff is very friendly and attentive, even outside at the pool and in the lobby area where you can sit and eat or drink in one of the... more

We stayed at Loews for four nights. We arrived early and were upgraded to a room with a part view of the ocean. We found the staff friendly and very helpful. The pool service was fast, alot better than expected after reading some reviews. My only complaint is the business centre which charges $1.00 per minute, we stayed at six... more

Good location, very close to beach and 3rd street shopping. The hotel itself is nice but the rooms are not worth the price you pay for them. Stayed in Angelino hotel in Brentwood and although the location isnt ideal, if you are renting a car the rooms are lovely and comfortable and it is very reasonably priced. more
