My husband and I stayed at this hotel last year when we went on a cruise out of long beach. We really liked that we were able to keep our car there for free while we were on our cruise. We remember the bed being comfortable and although the hotel had some highway noise we decided to try it again for our Valentines Day Cruise this year- what a mistake. The elevator broke and there was only a small service elevator to get to our room, but worst of all was the fact that when we returned from our cruise we sat waiting for 3 hours for a shuttle to pick us up. Every other hotel we saw 2 or 3 shuttles come and go, but when we called our hotel they said that they only had one shuttle. We felt stranded and I will never stay at this hotel again.

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.
