Travel tips
Budget for on-site parking, which is available but charged as a surcharge. If you’re visiting key waterfront attractions, Shoreline Village (about 891 m) and the Aquarium of the Pacific (about 1,192 m) are within a walkable range for many travelers. For major theme-park plans, Knott’s Berry Farm is roughly 19.2 km away, so allow extra travel time.
What guests say
Reviews frequently emphasize the hotel’s central Downtown Long Beach location and the convenience of being close to key areas. Cleanliness and staff friendliness/helpfulness are recurring positives, and on-site dining—especially breakfast—gets favorable mentions. Some guests also note parking as a practical aspect of the stay. A notable negative theme appears around billing accuracy at check-in, with at least one report of multiple charges and delayed refund resolution.
