The Westin Long Beach is located across the street from the Terrace Theater, a block away from the convention center and a ten minute walk from the Aquarium of the Pacific. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance, too. Although it's not on the ocean, its location is about as convenient as you can get.
The hotel is well run. The front desk operations were pleasant and quick. The housekeeping was outstanding. The inhouse restaurant had great service and a delicious (but a little pricey) breakfast buffet in a pleasantly expansive lobby setting. The parking structure under the hotel is easy to negotiate and allows self parking with in and out privileges.
The guest rooms are typical Westin, but soothingly decorated in comfortable pale green. They are spacious and quiet. The room I had was on the top floor, so it had a high ceiling with high windows that let in a lot of light and made the room look even larger. I don't know if other floors have such large windows, but it's worth inquiring if rooms on the top floor are available.
The in-room Internet service is an extra charge, but it was easy to start up and operated with speed and dependability throughout my stay.
My visit to the Westin Long Beach was flawless. If only every hotel could run this well!
