I grew up in the general area near the Golden Sails and even attended a wedding reception there in August 1980. In later years, I also heard the horror stories similar to some posted on here. Finally, last month, I was catching a plane to Honolulu right after a conference in Long Beach. I needed a place to stay the... more

"Marina" location is alongside filthy backwater area and oil derrecks! Looked like there were two types of buildings - a clearly newer multistory and the OLD two story we were in. There was an old baby bottle under the bed, but the room otherwise wasn't that bad - what was horrible was the NOISE. Wedding and quincenara parties and a... more

This is an old hotel that has had some updating/modernization in recent years. I stayed at this hotel for a week on business - I had meetings at this hotel. Some rooms have been updated, and some have not - my room was fine (nicely updated and very spacious), but it was at the back of the hotel, on the... more

Soooooooooooooooo bad. Don't know where to start. Threadbare towels, ants in the room, misrepresentation regarding what was included in our group rate; showers that ran hot and cold (without touching the faucets), low water pressure in the showers (especially when nearby showers were being used), squeaky faucets that could be heard from other rooms, shuttle that didn't work, no lining... more

I stayed here for a government business trip. It looks like an old building. There are beautiful Bougainvillea flowers all over. The hotel staff was excellent. Most of the hotel is two story with no elevators. There are window unit-type air conditioners, but they work really well. I was close to the highway, but when the air conditioner was on,... more

I was reading the discription of the hotel to my friend while we were in the room and he asked why we wern't staying there instead of this dump. Bad news the discription i was read was that one. How far off it was or should i say just on the edge of the truth. It is a good location... more

After reading some bad reviews of this hotel, my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. This hotel is clean, with large newly refurbished rooms, comfortable beds and a full breakfast right on Pacific Coast Hwy. I heard no highway noise at all, the staff were very helpful in routing me to the tourist busses and provided maps and... more

This hotel was amazing. I only paid 100$ a night and it was well worth it. My room was spotlessly clean. It had a fridge (always a bonus) and all rooms are equipped for wireless internet, and the connection is always strong. If you don't have a laptop there are 2 computers in the downstairs lobby that are equipped with... more

I read prior reviews of roaches, filth, and unfriendly/unprofessional staff at the Best Western Golden Sails in Long Beach, and was a little wary. So my husband and I tried it anyway. What did we find??? The most hospitable, friendly, professional staff who bent over backwards to make us happy. The rooms are beautiful with new carpet and furniture. The... more
