We've spent 4 nights at Loews in early September for a family friend's wedding. Had two rooms - one facing the pool and one facing Hollywood sign.
The location of this hotel in LA is unbeatable - connected to great shopping, Walk of Fame, Kodak theater, etc. The pool area is very nice - there were enough lounge chairs and umbrellas, there is a cafe right by the pool with good drinks and snacks, and it wasn't over-crowded. My parents' room had an amazing view of the Hollywood sign.
In both rooms we could hear people in the adjacent rooms, as well as hotel staff in the halls. In my room, because it was facing the mall which has a night-club, I could hear the club-goers well into the morning. So not impressed with sound isolation.
I was not overly impressed by the service in the hotel. My earlier request for a high floor room with the view of the Hollywood sign was ignored. There was a giant stain on the carpet by the bed, that was also not cleaned out. Two of the days my room was not cleaned. Every time i ordered room service for breakfast, I asked for boiled water for tea (not just heated slightly) - I only received actual boiled water once. Paid wi-fi internet in the room had a very spotty connection. This is the first hotel I've stayed in that did not have free internet in the lobby.
One thing to keep in mind is that the traffic around Hollywood Bowl, which the hotel is very close to, gets ridiculous even for LA when they have events on. The parking adjacent to the hotel also gets very busy and takes long to get out of. So you haver to budget your time accordingly.
Overall, it was a pleasant and convenient stay.
