It looked like it had been remodeled. The exterior was freshly painted, and the grounds manicured. The room was not large, but newly carpeted and had new linens. There was a new large flat panel TV and good size fridge. One block away is a new major chain grocery store.
Downtown bars and restaurants are a short walk away. There is a restaurant on-site, however I didn't try it. The hotel is very nice and is a good location to downtown.

i love this hotel. this is my 2nd time staying here. i had a great experience the first time and had no doubt where i was going to stay when i came back. the employees are great. very nice, helpful and know alot about the area. very convenient location. a block from the beach, walking distance to "the pike", convention center, aquarium, shopping, queen mary. there is so much to do around here you can never get it all done. the rooms are great. the bed is so comfy it hard to get out of it. very clean rooms.

This hotel is within walking distance of the Convention Center and the free shuttle stops that will take you all around Long Beach. The room was clean, but laid out strangely. The bathroom door was right next to the bed and the sink area was by the front door. The pool was very small and there was no free breakfast offered. But it was only $85 per night, so it was adequate. On the night of our stay there were helicopters flying overhead every five minutes, rather disturbing.
