Bibiana MarquesFebruary 4, 2015Great hotel, awesome food and a very helpful and friendly crew! A little expensive parking, but we would come back for sure! :)
Laura GalyerNovember 28, 2012Fantastic hotel! Fire pit tables on the terrace so even on a chilly night you can sit and look out over beach and pier while having a drink. Don't bother paying for the in room wifi, free in lobby/bar
Match ThisflyJuly 8, 2014Shutters on the Beach is the popular girl on this strip and rightly so (love that granola!), but Loews IMHO is just as nice and less expensive. Can walk out onto the beach from some rooms!
YanaSeptember 24, 2014Very nice hotel with a great pool overlooking the beach. More like a family hotel but I liked it anyway)))
Kathy HulsmanApril 20, 2013From the minute we arrived they were welcoming. The hotel is spectacular. The view is out of this world and food was fantastic. Can't wait to return.
Renee MaslikhovAugust 16, 2011Shutters 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.
Norman EllisOctober 23, 2014Splurge on the upgrade to a pool or beach view room. The view is absolutely worth it!
Christine SadleyOctober 30, 2012Gorgeous hotel and perfect location. Def checkout the sunset o the pier from the hotel patio. Fireplaces out there at nite also. Gorgeous!
Sheila MFebruary 8, 2015Very friendly staff! Rooms need to be updated to repair a lot of issues throughout. They also offer free chauffeured rides in Fiats for the guests!

Beautiful hotel with an awesome beach & sunset view. Rooms are huge & the beds are uber comfy! Happy hour 5-8! Field greens salad is amazing & the eggs Benny is a must try. :)
Mark SimonJune 19, 2013If it looks like you're wearing a sweater when your shirt's off, put your shirt back on before you walk through the lobby. Thank you.
Jennifer SSeptember 22, 2011How 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.
If you have a problem, ask for Sergio, the bar manager. He is the best! Also have some Stella's at the bar!- Nice rooms and great gym and pool. Complimentary WiFi.
David GAugust 21, 2013Nice place. Charging $15 per day for WIFI in 2013 is ridiculous. Starbucks is free. Common' - at $400/night throw in the WIFI with the cable TV.
Natalie DiMariaJune 16, 2012Could use an outside renovation but altogether a lovely hotel with lovely service and access to beach and everything else
Tom HealyMay 17, 2012Love the home made chips in the bar! A must have! New TV feed of pier is amazing!
Laura AllenOctober 18, 2011First stop of our honeymoon and had an amazing time. Service was amazing and well beyond expectation!!- Perfect view of the ferris wheel light show all night long! Six on the Beach every night is not a bad plus either!
- Daphne BachFebruary 16, 2014Yea with a view of the pier and a fireplace! Great afternoon lounge spot
AnnApril 6, 2016For the price, the rooms could be a little bigger and they could also be remodeled. It's looking a tad stale.
This place has a great view of the Pacific Ocean...for sunsets...good Happy Hour food and drinks. Read more
Scott McClureNovember 15, 2011Don'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.
Vishnu NathJune 5, 2012Great location and 5-8pm happy hour! $36 a night parking and $12 WiFi a bummer though.
Ocean Front rooms are the best. Pool deck and chairs are great place for meetings. This is my favorite LA hotel!
John LairesMarch 24, 2012Stumbled onto free wifi in the lobby after accepting to pay (the night before) $12/day for in-room wifi.
Tony PetrucciDecember 3, 2010Don't forget to try the fish tacos at the lobby bar. They are amazingly fantastic!
Kimberly WiethornMarch 15, 2011Great "Six on the Beach" Happy Hour every day from 5-8pm. $6 apps and drinks!
Home of the giant toilet they call a pool. Kids poop in it. Awesome.
- Asher RapkinMay 10, 2010Try 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.
Meredith KendallOctober 22, 2009I've been here for the past 3 days at Digital Hollywood. Of course, the Content Summit was in some remote corner room that took forever to find!
maxwell ritzOctober 25, 2010Free wi-fi and a validated valet = great for non-principal or casual work mtg
Eric SaboSeptember 8, 2011Nickle 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 $$$
SandraJuly 4, 2011Rude 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"!
Dustin ChadJuly 18, 2010Find 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.
Brandon BarrOctober 18, 2010Find the School of Humans folks at DH and grab a coffee or beer with them. :)
