My boyfriend and I stayed here 1 night on our way to Hawaii. I booked through Agoda and got a better rat. We were upgraded to a lovely room over looking the beach. Great lounge outside with fire pits. More

I began my relationship with the Loews over 10 years ago and what an adventure this has been for me and my family. Not sure where to start!!!!! When I would visit my daughter who lived in Santa Monica I would pick up my grandson and then head to the Loews. Sometimes, when we allowed it Mom would come along.:)... More

Requested early check in and our room was ready by noon. Stayed in Deluxe room with partial view. We could see the ocean and the Santa Monica Pier. Excellent service and very professional staff. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. More

I've stayed here several times on business. This is a fairly oddball property spanning several levels, so room selection is paramount. Some rooms face the main road and can be fairly noisy with a less-than-stellar view. Generally, these are the rooms one gets when booking at a discounted/corporate rate. Other rooms face a swimming pool with angled views of the... More

Just spent the weekend there and I can't rave enough about this property. Every single aspect of the hotel and experience is top notch. The front desk staff were really friendly and even though we arrived early at noon and check in wasn't till 4 within 45 minutes she had our room ready! The outdoor pool area is just stunning... More

The rooms here don't measure up to the online photos. The carpet, sheer drapes, and upholstery looks more worn than modern, and the walls are paper thin. I spent my first morning listening to every word of my neighbor's phone conversation and his constant coughing and nose blowing. If you do reserve here, be sure to call and ensure that... More

My husband and I have travelled the world and stayed at some of the best hotels. We went to the Loews SM for our 10th wedding anniversary. The front desk staff were entirely unfriendly, uninterested and business-like. The first room they put us in was a dark basement level room, with the adjacent apartment/condo's junk-filled private garages open and facing... More

I have stayed in many nice and fancy hotels, and this one ranks right up there with them all. The room was great and the facilities for swimming, dining and exercise are exactly as one would want. We were initially scheduled for a room with two double beds, but after asking for one king sized bed, the front desk person... More

I have stayed at Loews a few times and each has been very special. The first time with 5 grandchildren visiting from Australia. They were enthralled and the personal attention and care of the staff highlighted their stay. We took various coach tours and Loews provided lunch boxes for the journeys, filled with such a suitable selection of foods. The... More

Location is somehow great although not directly on the Santa Monica beach. I would say that for the price, there are certainly others hotel with more personnality and intimacy. The lobby is huge but it is also where it all happens. Otherwise you have the restaurant and the pool outside. Rooms are big enough and well equiped. Downtown accessible by... More
