The hotel should be called a motel not a hotel. The rooms are not connected to the main lobby, and lend itself to shady activity from neighbors. Makes me wonder why they changed their name recently.
Positives: Newly remodeled lobby is amazing! Staff was very friendly.
Negatives: Didn't feel safe.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 17 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
Make good first impression; staff was very helpful; continental breakfast was exceptional; grounds neat and tidy; close to university; it appears that this property needs renovation; old aluminum widows difficult to open; tub drain had to be propped open with bottle cap to drain; sagging sheetrock in the bathroom.
Positives: Close to CSU Long Beach, great continental breakfast.
Negatives: Needs renovation; tub would not drain; wireless internet did not accessible.

I was looking for a cheap, convenient place to stay while attending a comic convention. This place is exactly how I stated it - cheap/convenient. The area was safe and I was able to get a good rate for the room. However, the cons outweigh the pros. The floors were so dirty that even after taking a shower wasn't good enough. The room wasn't lit well enough. The parking situation was bad in that there weren't a lot of larger spaces around. Our air conditioner left a foul smell in the room after leaving it on for 20 minutes. If I had to choose whether or not I'd come back to this hotel. Let's just say it would be the last place on my list.
Positives: The continental breakfast was alright and rooms were kept nicely.
Negatives: Parking was horrible, tub was dirty, floors were very dirty, not enough lights, and air conditioner left a bad smell.

It actually was pretty nice for a 2 star motel. However; we will probably not do 2 stars again. Did not know what to expect as this was our first time and our first stay in Long Beach. Should be frequenting there as our daughter will be attending CSULB.
Positives: Close to our destination, CSULB.
Negatives: Did not feel particularly safe as our room was in the back.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 09 May 2007 rated 3 out of 10.
I would never consider this to be a 2 star hotel. It was just like the "My Name is Earl" hotel with new stucco on it.
Positives: Close to long beach airport.
Negatives: Noisy. Outdated rooms, backed up sink.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 22 Apr 2007 rated 6 out of 10.
All rooms need overhaul.
Positives: Location, price, clean.
Negatives: Room needs upgrade, very old and rough.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Apr 2007 rated 5 out of 10.
This hotel is close to the airport of lgb. For business travelers that use wireless may run into some problems as it didn't work for me or 2 others that were trying to use last week. In addition the courtesy shuttle needs to be booked well in advance as it was booked out and couldn't pick us up when we arrived or when we flew out. Also we made a stop downtown within 5 miles and they promised to pick us up and didn't so when I complained it resulted in front desk calling a cab and paying for it which was nice, but still keep in consideration.
Positives: Nice staff but over promises.
Negatives: (The courtesy shuttle service wasn't available during the 3 times I asked).
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 17 Mar 2007 rated 2 out of 10.
Old tired property, beds were saggy, air conditioner old fashioned and very noisy, room very dark and unattractive. WiFi wasn't working. Breakfast service was ok.
Positives: Decent location.
Negatives: Internet did not work.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 21 Feb 2007 rated 2 out of 10.
Horrible rooms, parking, noisy.
Positives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 20 Feb 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
On Friday night, there were numerous youth room parties that continued till after 2am, in spite of my and other guest¿s complaints. Less than an enjoyable stay.
Positives: The grounds, pool and lobby are quite attractive.
Negatives: Poor guest parking, check-in staff was curt and we were made to feel not welcome.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 06 Feb 2007 rated 2 out of 10.
This hotel should be called a motel. It is located in a ghetto, gang-filled area of long beach. Gang members hang around in the parking lot of the hotel all night drinking, cursing and partying. The hotel mgmt does nothing. Two of the lamps in my room had burned out bulbs. The front desk said maintenance would come up with bulbs but nobody ever did. It was hard to find the hotel. I would never, ever stay here again.
Positives: Nothing about this hotel was positive.
Negatives: Very unsafe neighborhood. No security on grounds.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 06 Feb 2007 rated 10 out of 10.
Very satisfied. Nice Jacuzzi, great continental breakfast. Really no complaints. Also the room seemed to have been recently re-hashed (new carpet, paint, etc.).
Positives: Upgraded to a Jacuzzi room. No problem.
Negatives: Room was right on pacific coast hwy, little noisy.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 29 Jan 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

A good, clean business traveler kind of hotel.
Positives: I wasn't expecting breakfast, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Negatives: The rooms were dated but clean.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Dec 2006 rated 6 out of 10.
We did not feel very safe at this hotel. The rooms are extremely old and musty smelling. Beds are uncomfortable. This was the 2bd time we stayed there - had the same experience the first time but thought it may have been a fluke.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Homeless people under room window near trash.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Dec 2006 rated 9 out of 10.
Will go back and stay.
Positives: Continental Breakfast and quiet.
Negatives: Kind of far from the night entertainment.
