I've stayed in much nicer Courtyards and way better Marriotts. It was "nice enough" but I was not impressed at all. The hallway from the lobby to the restaurant smelled like urine. Yes, urine. They need to change that carpet or something. Nothing was new and the whole hotel seemed tired and long overdue for a reno. The elevator was out-of-service half the time so I was forced to take the dirty and creepy stairwell. I travelled alone (for business) and I didn't feel safe taking walks. I was approached by several homeless men talking to themselves, which was unsettling. Then came to the lobby one night after a long day of work to find the same in the lobby (one person, not several). I did not feel safe. I would only stay there again if I had to. And if the stay had come out of my own pocket I would not have been happy - at all! The only two things that were good: the very helpful and courteous staff (including the restaurant) and the breakfast. Those two things were the only saving-grace of my stay. The staff was great and they even greeted me daily/nightly by name. Sweet.

My coworker and I stayed three nights here during a business trip. Our check in was quick and the desk staff very friendly, but professional. Our room was what I had asked for- top floor, quiet room. The view was of the US Bank building, but for half the cost of the big name hotels a block away, that was perfectly fine with me. The room was clean and tidy and had a little fridge which is always appreciated. They do have a parking garage for $10 a night which also was well worth the money. I'd very much recommend this hotel for any travel.

I was at a conference being held at the Long Beach Convention Center. The "convention hotels" were sold out, so I investigated other hotel options. Not only was Courtyard by Marriott as close as one of the conference hotels, it was significantly cheaper! I was comfortable walking back and forth to the convention center by myself, even after dark. I got a great rate, and everything at the hotel was satisfactory.
The room was clean, except for the bath tub being a bit stained (but not dirty, per se). Rooms are updated, even though it is obvious that the building itself is older.
The front desk staff were nice, welcoming me each time I entered the building, and asking if I needed any guidance when I was headed out. There is a small snack bar to purchase chips, sodas, or even wine and beer. There is also a refrigerator in the room.
Parking charges are $10 each night, and don't forget to budget in city taxes, which are all standard for a downtown location.

I had to switch rooms. Both rooms were dingy, carpet dirty, with old worn-out furniture. Bathroom was small and dingy. Elevators were EXTREMELY slow. A group of college students were staying for a conference and were very loud and their presence made the elevators even slower! The walls were too thin, so their noise could be heard several doors down from one of their parties/gatherings. It was not a pleasant stay at all. I would not recommend this hotel for business travelers.
