Serves it's purpose.

Average hotel if you need it just to sleep. Walking distance from the all the restaurants. It was noisy, but mainly during business hours for others (trash/construction work, etc). The noise stopped about 5pm.

A little bit of a labarinth

This is a little bit of an older kinda funky place with a sort of disjointed stariway. We were on the 3rd floor. The room was a little must, so we left the window open when we went to dinner. The bathroom was clean, but a little strange in that it had some kind of unknown pipes or drains coming up in the floor. Staff were friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pretty close to everything so we walked everywhere. The staff were excellent: friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself was not bad for an old hotel. The rooms were clean. However, it is pretty loud outside at night because there is a little bit of night life (not sure if it was because it was the holiday season or it is like that all year round - although I did read some reviews about it). But the noise was bearable and we didn’t really need to get up early so it was ok. Overall, a great stay. PS. they provide bottled water - definitely take them because you have to purchase them everywhere else.

It was at a convenient location. The hotel staff were friendly and very sweet. We left a phone and Shaun ( front desk) went above and beyond to have it flown back to Long Beach.
