“Fine choice for the frugal traveler”

Super 8 Long Beach

4 of 5 stars
Montclair, NJ
19 Oct 2007

We were in Long Beach last week (mid-Oct) for a 3-night Royal Caribbean cruise out of Los Angeles Harbor. Since we were arriving a day before embarkation, we needed a place to stay. After reading the reviews of this Super 8, we decided to give it a shot.

The hotel is conveniently located to most everything one might need access to in Long Beach. The area seemed also seemed safe and well lit.

Edwin, the infamous manager, checked us in on the day we arrived. We were there by noon, a few hours before check-in, but Edwin found an available room (an upgrade, no less) to accommodate his early arrivals.

Our room was no frills, but it had all the basics that we would need, including a small kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator. Things were very clean and in working order. We had a shared patio/walkway that overlooked the courtyard which included a pool, hot tub, and sauna. You could also catch a glimpse of the Pacific Coast Highway. Fortunately, we didn't have an issue with the traffic noise.

Breakfast was certainly a notch above the standard continental that one can expect to find at a Super 8, but it was mainly starches (cereal, pastries, etc.). There were also some bananas and apples on hand, but no yogurts, skim milk, or other healthier food options. Juice and coffee could be had as well. But the meal served it's purpose and we were happy.

On a related note, Edwin recommended some good food choices near by. Polly's Bakery, which is right around the corner, is a good, affordable place to eat. It reminded me of a diner like Perkins, but even better quality. Lots of tasty food and fresh pies. For some evening entertainment, take a 10-15 minute drive down to the Long Beach Harbor area. There were many restaurants there - try the Yard House, but beware of the long waiting lines. The harbor itself is nice to stroll, grab a bite, and people watch.

Overall, this Super 8 restored our faith in the chain. Edwin's customer service was top notch from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this hotel - especially for the frugal traveler.

“Great for Most”

Super 8 Long Beach

15 Jul 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

I spent 5 nights at this property after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. My room had two queens and a small refrigerator. While parts of the room looked a bit worn, the linens and towels were fresh and clean. The bed was fine. The tile in the bathroom seemed new and there was plenty of water pressure for the shower, but the shower head was set for someone around 5'5". I don't think my family of four would have fit for 5 nights. There were only two drawers in the dresser and the closet was awkardly situated next to one of the beds. The desk space worked for me and there was plenty of light.

I checked out the breakfast the first day-fine for a quick bite, but nothing special. I heard there was an evening reception with wine, but all I saw when I went through one night was two liter bottles of soda and some snacks. I didn't bother to ask, since I wasn't staying for drinks anyway.

If you check in late ( I arrived at 10:30 pm) there is a night window since the lobby is closed. The neighborhood was fine-I felt safe the entire time. However, don't expect to walk to any shops or restaurants. There are plenty of places around, but you'll have to drive since there are no sidewalks and getting through the traffic circle as a pedestrian would be difficult.

I saved a ton of money staying here instead of the Hilton. Free parking, free interenet (I was able to get a wireless connection in my room) made this a bargain. My room was comfortable and quiet. I asked for a quiet spot and ended up on the second floor on the same level as the lobby. It was easy to get to most places in Long Beach. The airport and golf courses were 5 minutes away. Bottom line-I'd stay again for business or as an overnight with my family.

This Super 8's location on the Pacific Coast Highway provided easy access to Long Beach restaurants and shopping areas, as well as a straight shot on the 405 to the LA airport. The customer service-oriented staff made my one-night stay a real pleasure.

4/4 found this review helpful

I've never seen a better value for my travel dollar. $63.00 being a Super 8 member. Rooms were recently redecorated, they were steam cleaning the carpets when I got there. This place is clean clean clean. They gladly honored an early 12:30 pm check-in request. Between 5-7 they had a wine reception, apparently all- you-can-drink; I had 4 glasses. The jacuzzi was clean and hot, the pool was comfortably heated even in the middle of January. The water was pristine. The lounge chairs were comfortably padded. The continental breakfast was outstanding. Several fruit juice options including fresh OJ (not from concentrate), fresh hot coffee with too many flavoring options to mention, at least 5 choices of cereal, several choice of oatmeal, many breads and pastries to choose from. The management is obviously on a mission to win the customer's loyalty, which they have in my case. The manager even invited me to visit when I'm in town, even if not staying overnight, to relax in the lounge and enjoy a complimentery beverage. This establishment deserves your business.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Management's attention to detail, all the little extras no other place thinks about.
    • Disliked — Security procedures annoying; you need the room key to navigate the property. But probably necessary in today's age.

We stayed just one night, got there around dinner and left after breakfast the next morning. The price was good and the location (close to CSULB and the cruise ship) was perfect. The breakfast was good. Nothing hot, but a decent selection. Enough to fill you up.

The hot tub is big and has a nice little area over looking the pool. The pool has an area in the shallow end that keeps toddlers from getting over their head. A very nice feature.

Also had internet access that we could get in our room even though it's only supposed to reach the lobby. YMMV.

The downside? Well, it definitely needs an updating, but seemed relatively clean. Location is close to PCH, but we didn't notice the road noise. Some rooms may. Just leave the fan on and you should be OK.
