Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 08 May 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

Hotel was clean, comfortable and basic.

Positives: Bedding was nice.

Negatives: No hot tub, microwave, sofa sleeper.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 02 May 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Bathroom was dirty with body hairs on the floor. Nice comfortable bed but very small pillows (half or regular size) and no extras/no closets. Traffic noise heard in room. We had trouble using phone because the cord was loose so we had to push in while calling to verify check out time. Light bulb was out and we had to switch bulbs around so we can have bedside lighting. Sign for proper use of shower should be bigger since it's spout is totally different from what we've ever seen. Parking didn't feel secure - no gates around or security guard walking around. Please add more security lights. They probably could have kept their construction mess hidden rather than having them on display by side of building where we ended up parking. Front desk was professional and friendly. TV could have shown amenities for the hotel and maybe surrounding areas.

Positives: Good location, easy access.

Negatives: Some amenities not working and bathroom was dirty.

Hotel is a landmark in the so called area and is convenient to Long Beach Airport. It is also a short distance to major freeways so it is a good starting point to other. Rooms have different amenities so travelers can choose from various price points.

Positives: Convenient location to airport.

Negatives: Pool was empty/drained.

The hotel is easy to find. It took longer to check in. Even though the hotel was relatively empty, room overlooked the dumpsters and the freeway. The room had the unpleasant odor that comes with old hotels. The floors (carpeted and tiled) and counter tops were sticky. The blackout blind was hung in such a way that it did not fully close. The towels were clean and decent toiletries were provided. But that did not make up for the drawbacks. I will not return to this hotel in the future.

Positives: The towels were clean and they provided Garden Botanical toiletries.

Negatives: This is an old hotel and it shows. This is a general feeling of uncleanliness. The staff is not overachievers.

The rooms were a bit small compared to other hotels. At check in they could have told us we could order pillows instead of leaving a card for ordering. Over all it was a nice stay.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Beds lumpy, did not know I could order special pillows till the end of my stay.

The hotel was okay, but not a typical holiday inn. The stairwells were disgusting (dirty, had stains and missing pieces to the walls) and they had doors leading outside without any locks or safety measures.

Positives: Location was good.

Negatives: Dirty, not well maintained.

Asked for and received a non-smoking king room. Staff was pleasant. Room had been remodeled. Very nice stay. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Positives: I felt this hotel should be rated higher than 2 stars.

Negatives: No complaints.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 12 Apr 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

This hotel was fine for a one night stay because it is close to the airport and provides complimentary transportation to the airport. There is also a restaurant/lounge in the hotel. I also appreciated free wireless access. This trip was a combination leisure/business trip.

Positives: Convenience to airport.

Negatives: The rooms were a little shabby.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Mar 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

Nice, clean hotel with a very friendly staff and a good bar and restaurant on the Penthouse floor. Plenty of parking but somewhat noisy being next to the I-405 freeway and the Long Beach Airport.

Positives: Nice bar and restaurant in pent house.

Negatives: Freeway and Airport noise.

The check in staff, Omar, took 20 minutes to find our reservation and we were unable to checkout from within our room. The front desk staff, Omar, was unfamiliar with the surrounding areas and unable to provide directions to a local retail store. Very unimpressed with the hotel as a whole.

Positives: Nice wallpaper, wireless internet in the room.

Negatives: Staff, check in and check out.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Oct 2005 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel is smelly and old. The room was so gross. All our clothing reeked of stale smoke. We had to launder every item, even clothes not worn. We got into my daughter's car and the first thing she said was : You smell of smoke."

Positives: The restaurant was pretty good

Negatives: Being put in a smoking, smelly, old, tired room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 06 Jan 2005 rated 9 out of 10.
