Overview
The Historic Broadlind Hotel at Long Beach Convention Center is a smoke-free aparthotel set in the East Village Arts District of Long Beach, within the greater Los Angeles area. The property blends historic character with apartment-style suites, and features an attached winery and a bar/lounge alongside its 20 accommodations. It operates as a 3-star aparthotel geared toward guests wanting kitchen facilities and extended-stay comforts.
Rooms
Each of the 20 air-conditioned units includes a full kitchen with refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave, and cookware, plus a washer/dryer for longer stays. Beds are dressed in memory foam mattresses, down comforters, and premium bedding, with a pillow menu available on request. Rooms come with a 55-inch flat-screen TV with premium digital channels, free Wi-Fi, complimentary bottled water, a coffee/tea maker, and bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.
Dining & Services
On site, guests can eat at one of two restaurants, sip wine at the attached winery, or unwind at the bar/lounge, and there's a coffee shop/cafe for casual bites. Concierge services and laundry facilities round out the offering, while housekeeping is available on request (with daily service also offered) and hypoallergenic bedding can be requested.
Location & Nearby Dining
The hotel sits directly above Thai District restaurant and is within a short walk of Creme De La Crepe, The Breakfast Bar, & Waffles, and BO-beau kitchen + roof tap, giving guests a strong mix of casual and sit-down dining options nearby. Local transit is easy to reach, with three bus stations and a tram stop all within about 340 meters of the property, plus Downtown Long Beach Station a short walk away.
Getting There
Long Beach Airport is the closest airport at roughly 6.3km, while Los Angeles International Airport (about 28km) and John Wayne Airport (about 31km) offer additional options for travelers flying into the wider LA/Orange County region.
Best for
This aparthotel suits travelers wanting extended stays or apartment-style independence, thanks to in-unit kitchens, washers/dryers, and memory foam beds. It's a good fit for couples or small groups who want to cook some meals while still having on-site dining, a bar/lounge, and a winery to enjoy. The dense cluster of nearby bus stations and a tram stop also makes it convenient for travelers who prefer getting around Long Beach without a car.
Travel tips
Since check-in involves a contactless QR-code process with an emailed access code and a separate parking pass that must be picked up from the room, arrive with some buffer time and be ready to find temporary street parking if the gated lot isn't immediately accessible. The surrounding East Village neighborhood offers walkable cafes and shops, and multiple bus stops (Elm & Broadway NW, 1st & Linden NE, Atlantic at Broadway SW) plus a tram stop are all within about 340 meters for easy local transit. If you need in-person help during your stay, know that the property mainly supports guests via text rather than an on-site front desk contact.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise how comfortable and well-appointed the studio units feel, noting the rooms match their online listing and come equipped with basic kitchenware for two. A recurring complaint centers on the contactless check-in process, which some found unexpectedly slow and confusing, involving QR codes, waiting for email access codes, and a separate trip to retrieve a parking pass from the room. Guests also note that support during a stay is handled by text rather than a phone call or front desk, which worked but required some patience. The East Village Long Beach location is described as charming, with cute shops and cafes nearby, though some visitors mention noticeable homelessness in the surrounding area.
