I just stayed at this hotel for the third or fourth time (not sure which). I stay there for a few days every March, and I've always considered it a good place to stay. The place was always clean, the rooms are spacious, and even the breakfast is pretty good. People are always friendly.

This time, though, it seemed to me that the room had been improved in some way. I can't put my finger on it, but perhaps there was new carpeting and maybe even new furniture. I've always enjoyed my stay here, but this time things seemed even better than I remember from before.

This is a round building. As a result, the room is rather narrow near the door and expands to be wide at the window (like a slice of pie). I've always had a room with a single bed. I'm not sure how large the room would seem if there were two beds in the room.

Parking is free here--a nice benefit. Lots of hotels in this area charge for parking, sometimes substantially.

We tried their park and fly package and I don't think I would do it again. The whole place is just kind of sleezy. When it came time to take the shuttle in the morning, we were informed the driver had an emergency and for us to take a cab and they would pay for it. We had to wait for them to then call the cab...even though they knew we had signed up for a certain time, etc., I don't know why they were surprised when we showed up for our ride and then called the cab. The driver wasn't too happy about having to collect the fare from the hotel.
When we arrived back in Long Beach, we were informed the shuttle had stopped running and to take a cab, etc. The driver wasn't too happy about having to go in and collect. We didn't tell him until we got to the hotel, in case he didn't want to take us without money up front.
We were turned off by this place as soon as we walked in. I'll try another hotel next time.

First off let me say I have been booking hotels for our soccer club for five years, and this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. Rooms were not ready they sent us to the lounge to wait. Construction going on, we had to step over the workers and thier tools. Out of the 26 rooms we had reserved, 21 had serious problems. Ranging from nail clipping on the beds, and urine and blood on the sheets. One guest had to plunge her own toilet. Unless you are in a bind. Stay away from this place. They have housekeeping problems

I don't know what Holiday Inn some of you with the bad reviews were staying at, but it surely wasn't the same one I spent 7 days (July 13-20) at.

The staff was extremely helpful and easy to deal with in all facets (Besides giving me wrong directions to the 7-11, but if that's the worst thing to come out of it, big deal).

The view was unbelievable and the rooms were always clean.

The only downfall I have with this is the housekeeping, who claimed to not understand English and walked in on me after I had just gotten out of the shower, despite the DO NOT DISTURB sign being up.

Other than that, I'd definately reccomend this place to anyone who will be staying in Long Beach. The location is good, the price is extremely reasonable and the staff is top notch.
