"Good location near the beach. The hotel was in quiet and in good shape. I stayed with a group, so I saw several rooms. All were clean, stylish, spacious, and well-kept. Some had decks. Great beds. The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was free, but somewhat difficult to navigate due to several posts. I highly recommend staying here.2016-02-24"
"Great motel if you want to go to the beach. I had no problems at all. The parking spots were best suited for small to medium-sized vehicles.2021-07-13"
"The motel was ideally located if you're going to the VA or CSULB. The room was clean but bare-bones. No microwave. Poor water pressure in the shower. The pool looked nice.2023-01-29"
"Don't have high expectations if you stay at this hotel. Nice view of the golf course from our front room, but the carpet was dirty, and there was no water for the coffee. There was hair on the toilet seat. We only got 1 key card for 2 people. The front desk clerk wasn't that friendly and didn't tell us where the vending or ice machines were. Close to the VA.2021-02-14"
"Great motel stay. The room was nice and modern. There was a cockroach in the shower, but we were given a discount on the shuttle for the inconvenience. The staff was friendly, and the continental breakfast was good. You won't be sorry if you stay here.2016-04-24"

"Not a good experience. I don't recommend this hotel.2022-06-20"
"The hotel was filthy and had roaches, and the room wasn't clean. I was embarrassed to have my family stay here. The front desk clerk was new and didn't know what to do, so check-in took about 45 minutes. Don't stay here.2022-02-08"
"Nice hotel, but there was no front desk service when we arrived; we had to call for service.2016-04-10"
"A safe hotel near the Long Beach terminal. The room was small and looked somewhat run-down.2023-03-04"
"OK hotel. It was very clean but had other issues. We had to have our key cards re-set repeatedly. Nothing at the front desk went quickly. The housekeeper forgot to leave fresh towels the 2nd day. We called the clerk and asked for 4 towels, but were told nothing could be done until morning. I insisted, but ended up having to pick them up from the front desk myself, and there were only 3. No AC in the hallways or elevator, though it was hot and humid out.2016-07-01"
"My key card had to be re-set almost every day, but the hotel staff was courteous and friendly. I'd stay here again.2015-11-21"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
