Holiday Inn, Long Beach Airport, California.

After arriving at Burbank AIrport, we drove appx 40 minutes, having booked this stay for a two day beach getaway.

While the construction of this 70's style "Turret Tower" is dated, everything inside has been kept up to date Small lobby is pleasantly appointed. Very inviting outside pool and patio. We heard that pool side rooms (Garden Suites) are spectacular, but chose the less expensive tower rooms.

Exceptionally clean room contained a refrigerator, safe, and coffeemaker. Sliding glass doors allow access to a tiny outdoor "viewing area." It's not quite a balcony nor porch!
We did not have children with us, but thought that they would require constant monitoring owing to the great height of the hotel. Alcoved wash basin, and a very tiny bathroom with marginal shower pressure. You need to lean back over the bath tub to close bathroom door, and mind your toes. Peculiar lighting requires that you turn on light to basin area to illuminate bathroom- not good for a middle of the night visit, as it can wake up anyone sleeping.

Top floor lounge and restaurant offered great happy hour specials, half price drinks and appetizers.

Our beach of choice was nearby Seal Beach, and the travel time down PCH was a breeze.

Plenty of shops, restaurants, nearby. This hotel is directly off the Freeway. Car Rental office on site. Business center off lobby.

Overall, a nice experience.

We stayed at this hotel November 3-11, 2007. We had absolutely no complaints. The staff was very, very friendly, the food in the restaurant was excellent (my eight year old son requested to eat at the hotel, instead of driving into Long Beach).

The room was a decent size and very clean. The housekeeping staff was excellent. The room was always made up snf always lots of clean towels.

If you are in the Long Beach area, stay here.

The only negative thing I can think of is that the hotel is not near anything, so you have to drive to get to restaurants, shopping and any night life.

Stayed here for work. Nothing special but clean and quiet. There isn't much surronding this hotel as far as shopping or eating or anything is really concerned.
The restaurant in the hotel had a good dinner and locals actually came for the view.
For someone with little to no knowledge of how to get around in the this area I wouldn't recommend staying here. For an in and out trip especially for work this will do the trick.

I wasn't expecting much but was suprised with the good service, decent sized rooms(Executive king non-smoking) with easy access to LB Airport.

The building itself looks outdated from the outside, but the rooms have been upgraded accordingly over time. It is located by a few freeways, so try to stay towards the upper floors. Luckily, I was able to change to the top floor with realtive ease(We realized that the freeway noise would be a problem, so we asked for the top floor at check-in and were accomadated). The front desk even suggested a great place to eat, and printed out the mapquest directions.

We ate breakfast the following morning at the penthouse grill, and the food and service was great with a nice view of LB(well as nice of a view as you can get in LB).

I would recommend this hotel for business travelers or if you are just visiting LB.
