Our experience at this hotel was average. For the value of the rate, the room was decent. Our room was located right next to the ice box and soda vending machine, which was nice. The mini fridge was very clean. It had an ironing board and blow dryer. The bathroom was clean. The people running the motel were friendly. We had no problems. Although they offered free internet access we still brought our Clear Wireless and had full connection, which we never do, even where we live. I'd stay here again.

We didn't end up staying the night because the bed was so hard - it felt like a piece of plywood.

It was advertised that there was a whirlpool tub for two in our room - uh, no, unless you are two 5-year olds.

Also the parking situation was very, very tight. Hard to maneuver around the very small lot.

Manager at first didn't want to give us our money back, but finally relented.

We ended up going to the Quality Inn down the street which was much better!

This place is small, old, close to the highway (traffic noise). But it's cheap, clean, 'remodeled,' and a good option if you need a room for the night.

My husband and I stayed at the Econo Lodge for one night before an early flight out of LGB.
Pros: Rooms have been updated and ours was very clean. I did not feel uncomfortable walking around in bare feet. The family that runs it was friendly, even if they were a tad unprofessional and disorganized. Hot coffee and muffins in the morning. Nice BIG LCD flat screen TV came in very handy for the bowl game that night.

Cons: It is on the PCH and the traffic noise is loud and constant. Parking is a joke. If you don't grab one of about 4 spots in front you are forced into a dark scary back lot. In room appliances are super loud, but I simply unplugged everything for the night. This was the second most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in; hard as a rock! (The first most uncomfortable bed was on the Queen Mary, also in Long Beach)
If you are looking for some entertainment, perhaps head next door to the "Out of the Closet" thrift store. They advertise "FREE HIV TESTING".
For one night it was tolerable, but I will never stay here again.
