PROS:

The rooms were newly renovated.. they are LARGE.. at least my room.. 202.

Flat TV.. fridge.. microwave..

CONS:

No coffee maker in the room.. no alarm clock.. no 24-hr coffee at the reception (as I used to in other EconoLodge's).. no facial tissues.. Lousy breakfast of only 3 types of packaged pastry and coffee..

I hope these missing things are all just because it is renovated and that they will fix this.. however, the reception lady was not very friendly and when I asked about the coffee maker she said they are only required in the suite rooms.. although she allowed me to use the coffee maker down there to make my coffee myself.. (yeah.. i had to get the water and the coffee..!!!).

I was staying in Long Beach to have a vehical repaired and found this place online for "fairly cheap", so i tried it.
W O W.. not to inviting to say the least!.
A very small small place, i actually drove right past it and had to turn around... wish i had kept going.

Upon entering the place, you notice a skimpy little check-in room, AND A VERY SMALL PARKING LOT!!! 4 SPACES.... AND ONE IS A HANDI CAP. { IM NOT KIDDING }
The place gives off a very bad vibe, drab paint, dull colors.
The check in clerk was, well, not from America lets say.

They didnt even have my correct change, and she said she would have someone come up to my room later with my $20.00 later. They never did!!

I had to go back down and request my change, this may sound trivial, but this is not customer service, having to chase after your change from a motel.
The whole place just didnt seem right , it had a bad feel.

If you want quit... sorry, not happening here!! PCH is very loud and i even had a room towards the back. Traffic at all hours.
The room "was ok", but not great. It was just short of nice.

The floor creeked when you walked acrossed it, and you could feel it give way under your feet. It had a "motel 6 " bathroom, just a small pull around shower curtin . {cheesy} low water pressure.

TV was large size, but no listings. It changed channels so slow that by the time you made it thru, the shows were over. Annoying.

If you are staying just one nite, it would be ok i guess, but for $70.00 , there are many other places in the area, and with a laundry room maybe??? geeze...
My whole take.... not worth it, and not recommended.

Ok, in October, just before I booked there were 4 positive reviews. This is not to dispute them, but to add subtle details.
We stayed for $65. plus for one night. I would only go back if I was alone. You do need to book a rear room. PCH is alive day and night. The are only four park spots inside the C shaped motel. One Handicap slot. One way traffic in/out. The parking exit is like a small tunnel. ie For small cars only. My 87 Nissan pick -up looked to be close. I don't think my Explorer would have fit. So all the overflow parking is behind the building, semi -residental with Cameras. The 3 or 4 times I was in the lot, ie go to car, get ice, there was a lookout peeking out of a ground floor room. They were twenty somethings, I observed when one was smoking outside.
There is a Urgent Care between the Traffic Circle and the Hotel.
Never heard Sirens.
The hotel is on the edge of a nicer long beach. 1000 yards from the traffic circle and a Ralphs. Not far from Seal Beach, Nice dining/shopping.
