Loews Santa Monica Won't Make You Check Out til Sunset
We understand late check-out situations. We understand that when we call the front desk at 11:30 and beg for a late check-out, the front desker may be unsympathetic — they've gotta get us out so they can clean the room to check the next people in. We understand. Really....

Hotel Cocktails Eclipse The Pillow Mint
We’ve started noticing that every hotel we visit these days immediately thrusts a free beverage into our hands… not that we’re complaining. The “complimentary cocktail” is quickly becoming ubiquitous. To keep up, Loews Hotels has devised a signature drink for every one of its hotels. Awhile back, an industry...

The Do-Gooder Hotel Jewelry Shop
We have a sneaking feeling that more and more hotels will start to do away with their simple sundries-only gift shops and start making space for specialized gift shops.Take for instance the jewelry store at the Loews Santa Monica which is called 1700 Ocean. The Jewelry Weblog went inside the...

Partner Reviews: Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel
-
Stumbled onto free wifi in the lobby after accepting to pay (the night before) $12/day for in-room wifi. -
Don't get a deluxe king room that is a street side corner room (north or south), you'll be up all night from the traffic noise. -
First stop of our honeymoon and had an amazing time. Service was amazing and well beyond expectation!! -
Bad service -
How awesome is this place?! Service is professional and friendly. Room is perfectly comfortable and spacious. We are having the best time on our slow-season vacation. -
Nickle and dime you everywhere, parking ridiculously expensive, pay for Internet? $400 a night and no free internets?weak. Sweet pool though, just sneak in and use it and save yourself some $$$ -
Mindy is the most amazing server! -
Shutters on the Beach is the popular girl on this strip and rightly so (love that granola!), but Loews SMBH is just as nice and less expensive. Great view, great beach, great coolies and nice bar. -
Home of the giant toilet they call a pool. Kids poop in it. Awesome. -
worst service ever -
Rude and non-accommodating staff all around but topped when at 12:30PM, just checked-out after a 3-day stay,were kicked-out of the pool cafe as "non-guests"! -
-
Ask Martin about IPv6. -
Perfect view of the ferris wheel light show all night long! Six on the Beach every night is not a bad plus either! -
Great hotel. I love this place -
Stop in during the AFM in November. The place is jumping. -
Enjoy the ocean view at this conferece mecca! -
Find Kathryn at the bar on Mondays she's so dreamy. Not sure if she's of age to work a bar but the girl knows how to pour a drink. -
Try and get them to give you an ocean front room, the pool facing rooms can get a little noisy and the side facing rooms have a terrible view. -
take a dip in the pool -
f u nick!
Loew's...not that nice
The room was not as nice as it could have been. The balcony was just a step out,the motel is not on the beach. The parking was $25 a day and was all valet.There were a lot of private parties that overtook the pool and lobby and we felt unwelcomed. The pool is very small,not a good pool for kid's.
