I love how convenient it is to have everything so close to you, I love the wonderful hospitality They are always so attentive and they're always available whenever you may need them, since accidentally stumbling across them I can't find myself going to book anywhere else lol, I really don't have ANYTHING bad to say,

The room was absolutely filthy with torn up bed sheets. you would smell sewage as soon as you entered the room. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
- 5/5
This room had all the essentials - a microwave, a mini fridge, free WiFi, free parking, a tv, and it was the cheapest rate I could find on short notice. It looks rough and could be cleaner, but I felt safe here and was able to relax for a few days, so overall I’m not complaining. It’s a great value for what is provided. Thank you to the staff 🙏

The room was good. Tv was mest up and refrigerator kept freezing our food. A lot of prostitutes and a lot of noise at night time. I think management lets them do their business there. Crackheads came in parking lot and screaming. Not a place I would stay long term.
- 5/5
The entire bathroom was sanitized with a seal, housekeeping came every day and was very kind, the exterior is very quiet, and the interior is luxurious. For $63 a night, it was a steal! I got a smoking room and it was still sooo beautiful. This is now my go to motel for when I visit Long Beach! I recommend HIGHLY.

Dirty room, holes in the bedspread could wipe dirt off the picture frame above the bed, and air conditioner front panel.. Soap bars bout one inch by two inches. Very tiny, smallest I've ever seen. Only one wash wrag, and one hand towel.. the bath towels were course in texture... the shower head leaded and spread water off the wall and onto the floor.. worst experience in 50 years of traveling... Thank you

Comfy beds, friendly staff, convenient fast food in walking distance. Non smoking room preferable. Smoking rooms have cigarette burns on blankets, curtains, etc…

You said it was wheelchair accessible and then when my friend and I got their, your property was completely inaccessible!!!! I called you three separate times to confirm that it would be accessible and you said yes. Then when I tried to get a refund for YOUR mistake, you refused!!! You are horrible, disrespectful and rude!!!!

Honestly not sure how this motel got such high ratings. As soon as I turned on the light, there was a bug crawling across the floor. The floors are incredible filthy (my socks were black after walking around the room). The shower looks like it hasn’t been cleaned (I showered at my gym to avoid showering here). Towels are stained and full of stray hairs. Everything is dusty and the walls are grimy. Really really gross. I didn’t want to even post this review because it seems like a small family business but the rooms were absolutely unacceptable. Should be charging half the price for what it is.

This place was disgusting. If I hadn't been with my husband I would have been afraid to stay there. The room we were assigned to reeked of cigarette smoke. We complained and got another room which was only slightly better. This was the first hotel I've ever stayed in that had NO CLOSET. No place to hand clothes whatsoever. The bathroom was horrible with plaster falling off the walls.
- 2/5
The manager in charge was rather friendly and helpful but the room itself was below mediocre. Reeked of cigarettes despite it being a "smoke-free" motel. Pillows, and bedsheets were rather dirty, didnt want to risk the possibility of bedbugs so we used out our blankets. Many of the outlets in the room including the one in the corner and near the tv did not work. One of the lamps had no lightbulb. The towels and washclothes that were given: dirty. Didn't have hot shower water, barely lukewarm. There were various kinds of bugs, mosquitoes, and gnats inside our room. Mini fridge and microwave was disgusting. Other tenants were loud, obnoxious and let their kids run around up and down the stairs at 3am. Which I know wasn't the motels fault but its important to note that this was in not the best area of long beach. Its decent enough as a last resort, if you are desperate enough kind of motel.

Absolutely worst experience ever! The staff are ignorant and lacking in intelligence and professionalism in every way shape and form. I booked here reluctantly because on the website there was no deposit indicated. Once I arrived the person there was requiring a cash deposit only deposit and showed me some paper that was supposed to recite what he put on the website. It clearly did not it was false as to anything listed on the website. He would not take a credit card for the deposit. So upon callinghotels.com to rectify the situation it only got worse. He would not release the payment so that I could transfer to another property where they have since and courtesy and respect and adhere to what they say on the website. So I had to forfeit my money hotels.com did nothing for me all because the idiot behind the desk wanted to draw a hard line making himself look extremely stupid. So beware because he will pull tricks out of a hat stating that I should have already known it was on the website when it's clearly not and I showed him. You too could be treated as unfairly as a common criminal having to pay for something you didn't get and the website hotels.com won't do anything about it to help you either. Very very professional all the way around yeah right. I would stay in hell before I would ever go to this place.

In comparison to the place I stayed last year this was the Marriott. I was in town for a music festival. I just needed a place to sleep and shower. Did the job. A lot of good places to eat in the area. All in all it was a good experience. Owner was a nice guy.
- 1/5
Owners are rude and want to take your money. The place is super sketchy and make sure to lock your cars and set alarms as they might get stolen. DEFINITELY NOT A FAMILY PLACE. I would avoid this place at all costs do not stay here. I couldn’t even stay here because I was afraid I would get room broken into and car stolen and owners refused to give a refund even though I never even stepped in hotel room. The photos on the website and hotel were completely different please look on yelp over trusting photos on website. Overall this is the worst possible place you can stay at. VERY HIGH RISK at danger for your life.

Terrible
- 1/5
The place made me feel like I was in a real bad area. At the office the staff were behind a very thick glass with only a small opening to pass things through like a bank. Everything in the room was outdated except for the bathroom. The carpet was nasty with a lot of spots, the two chairs around the table were nasty as their was a lot of black grime. The best part of the whole place was the bathroom as it looked like it had just been recently remodeled. On check-in after running my credit card through for the room which was accepted, the manager still said it was required to give a $20 cash deposit. First hotel I have ever had do this. Bottom line is I would never stay here again.

The area of the property is okay. Its quiet but the room smells cigarette. I asked the staff if we can transfer to a different room but she said no vacant. I will not go back to that hotel again.

Cost was low but service was lacking. Lady behind counter didnt really undertstand english and was a bit rude. Place was run down and a bit 'shady'. They charge a deposit for the room key(?). Rooms were not clean, toilet had paper 'seal' that said sanitized but toilet seat was definitely not sanitized! Chairs in room were stained, needed good cleaning. Whole place smelled like smoke, cigarette and otherwise...

The service is not friendly. The bed sheets and curtains had holes in them. Bath towels had stains. This is a very low quality hotel. I would recommend only as an emergency stay.

I did not like the service from the lady staff person at the front desk. The air conditioner did not work. The room had a cigarette smell. I had to transfer rooms because the shower water was cod and the shower head was broken. The toilet seats had cigarette burns on them.

This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever been. This place should be shut down! They want $10 cash deposit for their room key! I didn’t stay, the walls were filthy, the blankets were either cigarette burnt, or torn and tattered. The towels were not white, they were stained. Do not stay here!

Definitely not family friendly. Bed is hard. Towels are the thin ones that are rough. Parking lot is noisy for it to be midweek. No visitors and a $10 charge for every 30 mins you’re here past 11am. It was interesting.

Cigarette holes in bed in a non smoking room, horrible customer service, lady could barely speak English and got mad at me when i kept asking "what". If your a normal family, dont go here because you will feel unsafe because of the type of people mainly staying there
- 2/5
I was just surprised and a bit disappointed with the level of UNcleanliness, the type of clientele that were hanging out at the property. I left to get food at around 1am and this woman, clearly off her meds, was havjng a fit and leaves her room, slowly following me to my car. Luckily, her boyfriend was able to coax her back inside, right as she swung something near my direction.

The place was cheaper than anything else found and was just ok to pass the night, very limited parking space, not super nice area, make sure your car is closed at night, the people that receives tou there isn't the most friendly guy so don't feel bad I think he is grumpy to everyone like he thinks everyone is a Thief I guess judging the area he is at I don't blame him

There was someone’s false eyelashes stuck to the bottom sheet so I’m assuming that means they didn’t wash the linens. It’s also dirty underneath the bed as well. There was only one towel even though I specified that there would be two people. The hotel guests are also extremely loud, even at 2a.

There was an occupant in room 209 that was lacerating at the top of her lungs all night. It scared all of us for it appeared she was mentally troubled or under some type of influence that cause her to behave like that all through the night.

We arrived with travelocity check in , and were turned away because of issues on their end. We did not stay and had to find another hotel at the last minute. Staff did not care.
