First stay here for business. If you are working in the port of LA and are a IHG member, it’s a good place to stay. If you are coming to Long Beach area for pleasure, just remember this is a good place to sleep, but the neighborhood best explored only during the daytime.

The staff is great, and very helpful. At this stay there was a very disturbed young man in the lobby that was very frightened. He was not a guest, but the staff let him use the phone to call the police, and was very apologetic to me for the disruption during my check in process. Frankly the guy was very scared and I felt sorry for him. As a safety note, the police were there in less hen 5 minutes to speak with him.

The rooms are nice and recently remodeled. Large TV, nice beds, clean linens. Parking amble and free. If you need something there are several local small stores and a radio shack that are easily accessed during the day. They have a 24 hour shuttle and it appeared it was easily scheduled.

I will stay here again when I am working in Long Beach.

We recently visited Long Beach for the first time, I had originally booked rooms at the Holiday Inn Airport but thinking that it may be a bit noisy changed to the downtown location. I didn't realize how small the airport is so the noise level probably wouldn't have been a big deal; however, it was at the downtown location. This hotel backs up to a neighborhood, which is the side our room was on. Every night we heard dogs barking and not just occasionally. We couldn't figure out who had the dogs but it sounded as though someone had a few little dogs who were allowed to bark continually. In addition, one of the nights there was a party at one of the homes so we were "treated" to music until after midnight. I don't know if the rooms on the other side facing the street are better because my son did not want to hassle with asking for a different room.

Another problem we encountered was when we asked for a roll-away bed and were told that we couldn't have one in our room. I assumed it was due to the size of the room. So between having to share a bed with my grandson who moves constantly while sleeping and listening to the dogs and/or music, this wasn't the most restful stay I've had at a Holiday Inn.

The room looked good but there were cobwebs and my son said the cutout on his headboard looked as though it hadn't been dusted in quite some time. Something had been spilled on the carpet and left to dry without being cleaned so it was stiff and gross.

The staff was pleasant enough and we had a really tasty meal in the restaurant on site. By the way, this restaurant has a coupon available through Restaurant.com.

The hotel was decorated very nice. The lobby was beautiful. The staff was very helpful. It isn't in the best location of town but we had no problems. The ice machine was missing on our floor which was a little inconvenient. There is a restaurant located in the lobby area which is very handy but there is no complimentary breakfast. There is a free shuttle that will take you wherever you want to go.

We stay in Long Beach to visit family, but don't know a lot about the neighborhoods and hotels. This is a nice, fairly new mid rise hotel in a "transitional" neighborhood. This was the first positive experience we've had with value priced hotels hotels in Long Beach. This is a really great little hotel near the downtown area.

Large, clean rooms,plus underground, free parking. The Hyatt Regency was similarly priced, but wanted $16/day for parking, which made us choose this hotel. I would stay at this Holiday Inn again. (I can't say that for any of the hotels/motels we've previously stayed at in Long Beach.

I admit that "Holiday Inn" makes me think of the motels that I stayed in as a kid traveling across the country with my parents in the 1960's. This is a much different (better) experience.
