Xlnt location for modest price and with parking.
The Owners have nicely refurbished this old Long Beach motel. Still a few things to attend to. There was no clothes hanger bar, [empty brackets were there] so we had to lay our hang ups on the chair. The original tub/shower control was very hard to turn. Plenty of warm water on tap. 4 super fluffy pillows were nice. Bed ok.

I don’t know if they need a remodel but wow! Lacking in everything it was outdated room and bathroom. Funky smell and dirty in elevator. No I won’t return to this hotel. I get it might be cheap but not cheap enough for any you get.
Yes, you do get shops and restaurant close by the only positive thing I can say about it.

This place was not what they advertise in their hotels.com ad the rooms where not newly remodeled as stated parking was horrible we had to park off-site in the alley and our room had a big broken window that we didn't notice until later that night hotels.com really needs to do a onsite inspection of said property because it's not what was advertised even with proof of the broken window they want to say the rooms are remodeled and there was no issue stated onsite when in fact there was

2 star motel
There were roaches in the sink and in the room. The smoke detector was beeping, and the elevator signs were misleading.

All around poor rating
I wish I had better things to say about this hotel but unfortunately we saw several cockroaches in our room, the elevator and the and the hallway. The floor and furniture were dusty. We chose this hotel to be closer to the beach which was the only good thing about the hotel. I do not recommend this hotel.

Disgusting
There were no fridge because I needed it for food that I could only have to eat. There were cockroaches in my room. It smelled like cigarette smoke and dog in the room. It smelled like dog urine in the bathroom. And there was screaming in the early morning down the hall. If you are going to have roaches and smells like cigarettes in your hotel, you shouldn't be charging more than $100 a night

Worst stay but roaches and no toilet flushing & they had construction in the next room .my problem was the roaches & they have the nerve to give out free breakfast with a roach infestation . Im not the type to write a review but I had to on this case . & I didn’t say anything to front which was my fault on behalf.

The man checking us in is very rude. We asked for a room change because the AC did not work. Once we changed rooms it got worse, the TV didn’t work, there were holes on the wall, paint chipping, the worst part were the roaches. That was the last straw. We couldn’t stay the night, immediately asked for refund.
