Booked in a rush on labour day weekend when availability was awful. We decided in a budget hotel as we'd spent previous night in a luxury hotel in Vegas and needed to reign the finances in a bit! Really wish we hadn't, this was my worst hotel experience ever. Location was ok, didn't feel particularly safe, but this wasn't a big deal. Decor was dated beyond belief but again I can get past this. What we couldn't get past was the disgusting dirtiness if the room. The room we were in was obviously maintained on a day to day basis but it is so deep down dirty that it needs ripping out and starting again. The curtains were plain cream but looked patterned because if the mottled grease all over them, they were completely flight. The 2 armchairs were covered in stains, the bed smelled of sweat and the comforter had old blood stains on it. We did think about leaving but would have had to sleep in the car (which in hindsight would have been better)!! The place was so bad that my husband and I slept in full clothes so that our skin didn't touch the sheets (including hoodies pulled really tight round face)!! My husband couldn't bring himself to use the bathroom and I managed to show but couldn't touch the towels. The next morning we left at 7am to get somewhere clean to wash up and eat. We both honestly felt depressed and physically sick the next day. We're not generally budget travellers so not much to compare too, but I'm pretty sure that you can find a similar standard of hotel which doesn't look like the set of a horror movie! I read a review on another website which said that this looks like a place where bad things could happen - totally agree with that - don't stay here.

I chose this hotel based on the price. WOW was I surprised when i checkec-in. The room was large with a nice king sized bed. It was clean. The room looked as though it was recently renovated, although the bathroom showed age. They provide a decent breakfast in the morning. Its location it also a plus. Just a short walk to the ocean and the Aquarium of the Pacific and Performing Art Center. I WILL stay here anytime I go to Long Beach

I give this hotel an excellent rating because everything was perfect for the star level. Clean room, great staff, nice pool, and a great location

Checked into this hotel late at 11.30pm just as a place to sleep until morning. What is worth noting is that this hotel is cheap and tax included cost $90 for 3 people sharing two king size beds. Beds were comfortable and very large however there was a lot of noise from outside as the window faced a garage where people seem to race cars up and down the street all night and was also loud club music until I fell asleep at 1am. The bathroom was dated and a little dirty (rust around taps, frayed shower wire etc. everything just shwoing its age) however it came with lotions, a sealed new hydro 5 schick razor, shower gels and toothpaste at no extra charge so this was a bonus.

Continental breakfast was included in the price however this consisted only of coffee with no milk, watery juices, small amount of croissants and a small amount of cakes (and this was at 7am!). Also they provide free wi-fi however getting this to load at a pace considered reasonable was almost impossible.

For the cost of the place and the convenience of its central location its worth a visit if you plan on using it just to go straight to sleep in but maybe not if you plan on spending a long time sitting in the room.
