BEWARE!!! Please take this seriously - NOT suitable for families; they provide you with a flash light in case lights go out, sliding glass door doesn't lock, rooms & swimming pool are filthy and the grounds and do not look like their photo - the entire place looks and feels like a forgotten cemetary! Trust me, stay somewhere else.

The hotel's people are hospitable, courteous, friendly, professional...a living example of how people should be in ALL hotels no matter where you travel away from home...independently owned or corporate. Lanette or Maza at the front desk, the VERY NICE people in housekeeping, Angela in Management, the lobby restaurant and its food, service and people...stop in and stay. The location is 100%!

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. We visit Long Beach every other month and this is the hotel we choose. It is clean and the staff is wonderful! It has the best location of any others, its across the street from the ocean, health food grocery store, lots of restaurants, its safe and everything is in walking distance. They also allow pets (our dog travels with us) at a reasonable price. For the location the rooms are reasonable priced. We love this place!

When you first drive into this place you see an empty parking lot and once you walk into the place it looks a little less than average. The attendant was not terrible, but the whole place began to look sketchy when the loud party that is being held blocks the bathroom in the building. After not being able to use the downstairs bathroom we are sent upstairs which was quite frightening not only for myself but for the children traveling with me. It was dark and barely lit and once we made it to the bathroom we find out that it is locked. After walking all the way over there we decide to wait for our room keys hoping that it would improve the experience. Once we get to the room and open the door an awful odor hits! We look into the room and it is by far the most run down place we had ever stayed in. The walls are all beat up and stained, the fan in the bathroom sounded like a broken motor boat, and there appeared to be blood on the cabinet under the sink. Our group contained 9 people and we had rented 3 rooms all the rooms were exactly the same nasty, run down, with the nauseating odor. We talked it over and decided that we were only going to stay here one night, so we decided to tough it out, but after finding a large bug in our bathroom shower we vowed to write this review and warn people NOT TO STAY HERE!!!! There are so many other hotels in the area that are probably much nicer. The other reviews that claim this is a decent place are either used to substandard facilities or they are lying about their review! I got to see 3 different rooms and I would warn you don't waste your time or money pay the extra money to stay somewhere clean and safe. This is not a place you want to take yourself or your family!
