Walking distance to "everything", Pine St tourist area restaurants, Aquarium, Conv center, Ocean Dr, etc. The FREE LB city shuttle right across the st. Front desk staff and maids super nice. Appreciated the free internet wireless from my room. VONS across the street, OLD and dirty looking, bums hanging out in parking lot which has a guard. It's handy for bottled water, etc. They mentioned the breakfast no longer "upscale" which I didnt see anyway. Went across the st to "The Americana" restaurant, good food/prices. I would stay there again for the location and fair pricing.
Towels are thin/cheap, need better quality. Carpeting needs changed (old drab red) to look like the picture they have in their front window (bright clean green).

We found the motel to be clean, but not upscale. About like a Motel 6; but I thought it was friendlier and therefore more comfortable.
We were there for the AKC Eukanuba Dog Show and the dogs were welcomed.
The staff and management were very pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful. I felt quite safe in the neighborhood which was quite charming with several restaurants within walking distance. Around the corner, on the same block, there were both a Courtyard Marriot and a Best Western. Free coffee and hot water were available in the lobby at all times, and the selection of breakfast snacks was adequate to our needs.
Besides a microwave and refrigerator in the room, the improvement I would make would be pillows with a little more substance to them.
I would definitely stay there again.

DIRTY ROOMS- Their walk-in rate was lower than their on-line rate. Save $30 and DON'T BOOK ON-LINE. Save your self respect and stay somewhere else. The County sends their homeless here with reoom vouchers. Even the homeless deserve better.

Stayed here three nights, hotel is aging, but a good choice for the price. includes juice and muffin cont breakfast.
Downtown Long Beach has deteriorated over the years, but had no problems and felt safe enough.
Lot of great restaurants within walking distance.
Staff was helpful, would stay here again on return visit.
