The hotel is not bad, the location is good, walk to Long Beach and the Ocean Museum for ten minutes. There are many restaurants around, and there are many hotels like Marriott, which are more expensive. This is similar to a motel, and the price is OK. It is a bad attitude towards Ctrip booking staff, saying that after the deduction is not responsible for the success of the booking, even directly call me

The sound insulation of the hotel is relatively poor. There are a lot of sounds outside the door. The service is very good. The location is very good and you can see the holiday lighting facilities opposite. The old four-star facilities are relatively old. I will consider staying again.

There are two family hotels in Long Beach. This one is close to the airport, and there are also homes by the sea. I have stayed at two hotels this time. This is my second home, it feels better than the one by the sea, because the price is cheaper. The room was neat and clean, and the utensils for cooking were very complete. I was particularly surprised that the floor in the bathroom was warm. Could it be that old hotels would also have floor heating? !! Ha ha breakfast for 9:30, there is nothing left, the waiter can't wait to pack home. Go early if you have breakfast.

This is probably the smallest hyatt living till now, it feels like a factory remodeling and then hanging the hyatt card!
No lobby is super small. The left hand is the entrance to the restaurant. The curry smell drifts all year round. The elevator is like a freight elevator. The room is very small. Although the business hotel is equipped with a small hall, the total area will not exceed 25 square meters! The socket is old, and it is easy to loosen and not charge.
The only plus point may be the girl at the front desk, cheerful and enthusiastic. Been to Beijing and a little Chinese is very friendly.
In addition, the hotel only has a valet parking of $ 35 / night. The public parking space on the doorstep of the hotel and on the street behind the hotel is free from 9pm every night-9am the next day is free, 2 knifes / hour after 9am. The parking lot next to the hotel is 16 knives / night, provided that the receipt from the mall next door is required to enjoy the price. Self-driving friends can choose to park on the street and go down in the morning to pay 1-2 hours of fare.

The location of this hotel was perfect and it had great amenities but that was about it. Our first room smelt like cigarettes and mold, we were moved to another room which had no A/C. We finally got a decent room by time we moved to the third room. The valet took forever we never waited less than 15 minutes to get or drop off our car. The hotel was nice but understaffed

The room is OK, after all, it is a home hotel, there is an open kitchenette, so it is more spacious. Breakfast is free, complimentary breakfast, next to the lobby. However, the elevator was originally two, and one was opened, so the elevator had to wait a long time. Then there was parking outside. When I checked in, the front desk told me that it was free (unless I heard it wrong or understood it wrong), but when I checked out, the front desk didn't tell me to charge, and gave me a small ticket that could be inserted next to the railing. The machine can go. The result came back to receive a deduction of $ 35, this is a bit expensive, $ 35 a night, and there is no text message notification, or I found this fee after checking the bank APP. Therefore, friends who want to stay at this hotel must confirm the parking fee with the front desk when checking in or checking out.

Our first time at a Marriot for a special event nearby, we choose Marriot because of all the great reviews of the Marriot chain. We arrived right on time at check in after a very long 8 hr drive from out of state, we asked for a top floor room away from noise as we are very light sleepers. We also asked if breakfast was included, and No it is a extra $28 per person option, so all the tripadvisor reviewers who had stated a full hot breakfast was ”free” must have not seen their bill. Anyway, the room was nice, bed was very comfortable, coffee maker is included as is an iron and iron board. Outdoor pool was closed for a ”special event” the next day ( why, we are spending top dollar for this treatment? ) Lobby is very LOUD, think Nightclub loud. It was like this at 3 pm and still the same at 11 pm, so expect to hear this when your trying to sleep as well as LOUD motorcycles and cars with LOUD exhaust passing by all times of the day and night. We were told this noise is a ”Long Beach” thing.....so be forewarned if you want any sleep. $200 plus a night with no breakfast, and No sleep unless you bring ear plugs like we did. Sadly we expected mush more from our stay.

We were stranded, flight cancelled last minute due to Las Vegas high winds, our connection. Tired, weary and feeling hungry and grungy, we made a reservation and then called to inquire. ”Is there a courtesy airport pickup?”, ”Yes M'am, I'll be right over!” Music to our ears. And! The place is bright, cheerful and spotless, with plenty of coffee, tea and smiles. We are in love!

The midnight check-in guy was friendly and helpful, and disclosed their $25 ”Service Fee” which states $20 on their sign pictured here and then itemized $22+tax on my receipt; the front desk manager was arrogantly defensive and unhelpful telling me to call Expedia when questioned upon check-out and failed to find their fine print on my Trip.com receipts that clearly state all taxes and fees are included in the stated total, bad business practices.

GGuest UserWe hadn't planned on a stay in Long Beach, but were sent to this hotel by the cruise line after testing positive for COVID in the middle of our 14 day cruise. Along with several other passengers, we were required to complete the remaining days of a 10-day quarantine when we got off the ship. When I found out where we were being sent, I went online and looked at reviews. I was very disturbed about all the negativity, especially since we weren't going to be allowed to leave our room. There was no restaurant or provided breakfast on site, so we had to use Instacart, DoorDash, etc. to have things left at our door. IHG/Holiday Inn is one of the chains we use regularly and are used to things like breakfast being included, so this was missed for sure. As for other issues, yes the A/C was noisy but we were glad to have it. There was also a lot of outside noise on the side of the building where we were (traffic and other things). However, our room was clean and we had plenty of towels. I did have to ask for extra washcloths and pods for the Keurig which were quickly provided. They also gave us a menu for food delivery that was limited but inexpensive. We ordered from that menu three different times and food was good considering that nothing delivered ends up being as hot as I'd like and the rooms only had a fridge, no microwave. During our stay, I talked to at least 3 different people (Daisy, Yvette, and Elizabeth) with guest services and all were pleasant, patient and helpful with all my questions and concerns. One of my questions had to do with transportation options to LAX. I had looked at Uber and other options, but prices were all over the place. They told me they could arrange a cab for us when we were ready to leave and that it would only take about 10 minutes for the cab to arrive. We chose this option and are glad we did. The Yellow Cab charged a flat rate to LAX which was cheaper than all the other prices I had seen. So while it wasn't our choice to stay here, all in all, it wasn't as bad as I expected from others' reviews.

Aaceja2020This was a very nice stay, the room and service was good. No complaints. Everyone was very nice and always willing to help when needed. They kept the entrance very clean despite people constantly walking in with snow and dirt on their boots.
3.5/5
WHAT WE LIKED · We stayed in the Gorgeous Penthouse on the top floor and it was beautiful. The photos are accurate other than the obvious fish eye that makes all rooms look larger than they are. We stayed here for CaliVibes festival. I'm a sucker for the historic, eccentric, unique properties with architectural details so this was right up my alley. The kitchen had beautiful tile though we didn't make any meals there - you could have made simple breakfast, lunch, etc. Mainly we used the fridge to store our late night snacks and bottled water. Basic coffee service, dishes, and utensils were provided. The old windows are so lovely and all of them open but you will get the noise from the lively bar downstairs. We had plans to drop in to the Blind Donkey but the music festival really had us beat at the end of each day. The codes for the door and the room worked well. The bed was adequate but not amazing like some hotels have. I had no issues but hubby didn't sleep as well. The bed is in a nook so you do have to kind of crawl into the bed and that was not ideal but once my head hit the pillow, I was out. The Broadlind is surrounded by cafes and restaurants and there was a grocery store just a block or two away. Very convenient location for any events at the convention center or Marina Green Park. WHAT WE DIDN'T LIKE · Check-in time is quite late at 4pm. I messaged and called the contact number provided in the email from Broadlind to ask if we could pay for early check-in ($45) on the day we arrived and never received a response to my phone call or my text message. I was happy to pay the fee if it wasn't too late on our arrival day to do so through the ”contactless” system. I did not want to pay the fee and then not be able to check in because we didn't pay far enough in advance. I had read other reviews that mentioned issues when not allowing enough advance notice for the ”incidental deposit form” to be completed before arrival. We had already done that, no issues, but now wanted to add early check-in, and ultimately, did not because of the complete lack of response. Resort fee of $35/day but there are zero resort-style amenities such as pool, gym, cafe, restaurant, or bar. No ice machine or vending machine on site. No cleaning of the room so no restock of coffee service or towels for a multi-day stay. The sofa bed was a futon and super lumpy. Blankets and pillow were provided but no sheet to put down. We found an air mattress but discovered very quickly there was a hole in it. No response to text message or phone call asking for replacement. We debated finding a sporting goods store to buy our own but ended up just roughing it on the futon. There was staff on site but they are quite stand-offish and will ignore you or act like they don't understand what you are saying to avoid helping you. SUMMARY - I adored the property and the location but the excessive ”contactless” policy is a complete turn off. If everything was perfect with the property, an

MMike DThis is not a luxury hotel, and travelers expecting a luxury hotel at these prices will be unreasonably disappointed. What do you get for the bargain prices this location offers? A secure pet-friendly room with a working electric stove, a decent microwave, a roomy refrigerator, a clean bathroom, a comfortable bed, and a nice selection of cable channels on a medium-sized tv. The location is close to the Long Beach Airport and centrally located for Orange County, Los Angeles, and Long Beach tourist attractions and business meetings. The management and staff are professional and run a tight ship, and yet are genuinely committed to making your stay as pleasant as possible. Special kudos to Purple, who made a special effort (without my request, btw) with her manager to address some very minor issues with results far beyond expectations. I checked in on xmas eve afternoon and checked out a few days after the new year during a stressful and challenging time in my life. Everyone here made it so much easier to get through, and I will always be grateful.
