Before I start writing this review. I see some people here complain about room, decoration, service...... etc. As to me, I have stayed in Seaport Marina for few weeks. I think Seaport might not be perfect as you imagine but not that worse as they described.

First, no one can deny that Seaport has the best location with ocean view.
The hotel sits in the heart of Long Beach. It only takes 20 minutes to Newport Beach, 30 minutes to LAX. Surrounding area provides good food from daily bases to high end level.

Second, the price is fair enough!!!
If you are looking for 4 or 5 stars hotel, please do not try here. Seaport is an old hotel with renovated rooms. I admit the room is not new nor fancy but the room is clean for sure. I think it's worth to stay with the price you pay.

If you have limited budget for travel and look for a better place to stay over, I think Seaport is worth to try!

I will never stay here again . When I pulled up to the hotel, it looked empty the parking lot was broken up so I thought for a moment I was at the wrong place. The room was awful. The carpet was dirty , the room had an odor, and some of the rooms look like they had been closed for awhile. The refrigerator made a noise so we had to un plug it . The lobby was dark. I do not recommend this place, the picture is deceiving.

This hotel is terrible. It is in a great location to the Marine Stadium, and the shops around are very nice. The hotel needs a huge facelift. The lobby looks dingy, and I stayed in the renovated rooms, and things were not very nice. The coach looked dirty. We checked in late, and the corridor to the rooms (outside entrances) were all very dark. My daughter and I were staying there. I lasted one night. We left.
The bathroom had mold on the tile. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel at all. I talked to a local who said no one stays there!

This place is terrible, a motel passing itself off as a hotel. The nicest part of the "hotel" is the lobby. The rooms were dingy, torn down, the view isn't even spectacular like other reviews have said, and this was my anniversay that was nearly ruined if it weren't for the rest of Long Beach being so wonderful.

I went on to the site of Seaport Marina and they only have two reviews. One good, one bad, but both old. Both reviews though (even the bad one) said the view and the location were spectacular, and since I'm going for romance here, I figured, what the hell...hopefully I get a clean room, and I'll just keep switching rooms until I find one. OMG! The first room they put me in (after specifically requesting a Marina View) was a Courtyard View, and just ugly. It smelled bad, it looked dirty, and the electrical sockets looked like they'd shock you if you tried to use them. I went right back to the Front Desk, and requested a room change -- one with the view of the Marina like I had requested.

They accommodated. The new room, looked newer...but it was still "motel-like". There was a big water stain on the ceiling from a leak. The screen door to the patio didn't work. I was in room 331 (but it's on the second floor). The view of the marina, is misleading, because, yes you see the docked boats, but that's hardly the romantic view I was hoping for. The mattresses aren't any better than the ones at a motel. I told my girlfriend, that if I see one bug, I'm raising hell.

No bugs...that's good. I guess because they don't have any bugs, they call themselves a hotel. Anyway, the curtains were raggedy (the first room's curtains were torn), the chord to open and close the curtains wasn't just broken, it was completely missing. The curtain rods were rusted and cheap looking. All-in-all, the room gets a D-. And a D-, because the bathrooms weren't half bad. They definitely were not "motel-like". The shower was actually nice, and overall it looked clean.

Oh...and everything was short. The bed was barely 3 feet off the ground, the toilet was low, the sink was low...ugh!

Anyway, stay away. This is May 2010...I don't know what upgrades some of these reviews are talking about, I'd hate to have seen it before.

And the outside even looks like a fancy Motel 6. Whatever...Thank god the rest of Long Beach was beautiful and that really saved my anniversary weekend.

I'll never stay here again.

By the way...there's a club there, and all I saw were young ghetto-looking people going there...so guess what types of guests they usually get? Again, reminds me of a motel, and for the price of a hotel. Terrible!
