The hotel doesn't look bad from the outside, but it goes downhill after that. The dumpy hallways and elevator are scary--they look like a great place to be mugged, raped, and/or murdered. The rooms are poorly maintained, and my sheets had numerous burn holes in them. Local phone calls are .25 connection fee, then .08 per minute--a ripoff especially if you need to use the internet. The fridge in the room is nice, but doesn't make up for all the negatives. The worst part is the very high rates--you can stay in nice hotels for the about the same money. Avoid this place.

Had 3 nasty suprises: According to several websites pets were allowed. NOT. Had to keep dog in car, was concerned that he would whine and bother other guests. Price: No one told us that prices went up over the weeked. Up is an understatement.....doubled was closer to it.
Sheets: When pulling them back while doing the "make sure you didn't leave any thing here check" discovered that we had been sleeping on blood-stained sheets for 3 nights. GAG-GAG-GAG

Do not waste your money. For a few more dollars, you can stay at the Courtyard Marriot across the street. $122.00 for a fabulous view of the Parking lot. I was told I could not use my AAA card because this total rip off was already at a reduced rate. Run down...Dirty, and Old. Does this elevator even have a license to operate??

Long Beach has turned into a beautiful city with lots of new development...don't ruin your visit by staying at this establishment.
You can smell it.

Rooms were clean and very large with a balcony. The hotel was in a nice area with lots of restaurants and shops. We walked the area at night with no problems. 15 minute walk to the convention center/Arts Center and aquarium. The only complaint was that they never gave us enough towels, we had to call or go down to the front desk every night. Would stay there again.
