The architecture and rooms are circa 1970’s and have the signs and smell of age but are very clean and well maintained. From check in to check out the staff was really nice and helpful. Most hotels in this price range you would expect a couple stale doughnuts for their continental breakfast but they actually had a pretty good spread.
My only complaint would be its location next to the Long Beach traffic circle.

I would compare room at this property to a room at Motel 6 only larger and maybe older in need of repair.
We got stuck with a smoking room. When I got home my luggage as well as my clothes smelled badly of nicotine.
The room was large but the bathroom was tiny.
The paint was peeling around the door. The beds were comfortable but smelled of nicotine and there was a lot of traffic noise from the street right outside our door. This Motel is in need of a remodel, outside and inside.
We booked this Motel because of the reviews about Edwin.
We never saw Edwin and the rest of the employees we delt with were not that impressive.
If you want something cheap compared to other properties in the area and don't mind old but clean then this Motel will probably work for you.

Was looking for a clean, comfortable and economically attractive place to stay for one evening prior to cruising in San Pedro and wasn't disappointed. We arrived in the early evening and was given a ground floor room as requested. In fact, we received an upgrade to a suite with a side kitchen. Bagels, cereal, coffee and juice were awaiting us in the morning. Check-in & out was a breeze. Only negative that can be said is that the building is a little worn. But as far as I'm concerned, cleanliness & safety are what rules...

Super 8 Long Beach was in a great location, had friendly staff, and was clean. However, the room showed a great deal of wear and tear and definitely could use some repairs and new furnishings.
