Went to office to change room..they gaved us a better room.. but still very dirty. We stayed in the room with the kitchenette.. counters very dirty, sink dirty. No hair dryer, towels were very old. Also smells like weed..

Awful .. I been to many hotels in my life from one star - to five, I have to say that was my worst experience. Upon check in they lied to me with a fake screenshot saying I booked another date. I showed my Expedia receipt, and lots of back and forth then they finally gave me a room.. The bed was hard as a rock so was the pillow, I felt like I spent the night at the Flintstones. The T.V. did not work for the two day stay, and there was one small roach I found crawling on my pants that I had laid on the chair.. so many other nice chooses will encourage you to keep lookin

Staff was horribly rude. My life was in danger and the staff did nothing about it. Instead of helping me they kicked me out and gave me half of my refund back for the room. After they gave my abuser my room key to get in my room without even asking me since he was not named as one of the guests staying in my room with me. They violated my privacy as well as my safety.

I arrived at 4:00 PM — well after the posted check-in time — and my room still wasn’t ready. That’s unacceptable. After waiting, I was finally given a room only to be told the TV didn’t work.

It gets worse. The room was clearly not properly cleaned. There were roaches in the room, visible dirt, and even a hair clip left on the floor from a previous guest. That alone tells you the room wasn’t properly inspected.

This was not a minor inconvenience — it was a basic failure in cleanliness and preparation. Guests should not have to deal with pests, dirty floors, and non-functioning amenities.

I would not recommend staying here unless management seriously improves cleanliness and quality control.

First off, I was looking for a room with a kitchen which this one said it had. Nowhere on the website does it say I need special pots to use the kitchen as it has an induction area will only induction pans can be used and they have none here so I had to spend another $50 to get pans to be able to use their kitchen.

I woke up to hearing water and realized the heater/air conditioner had water coming out of it like a waterfall. There was water on the floor by my belongings as well. I called management around 4 a.m. and he said he would get the maintenance to take care of it, but they never came. Also the door was easy to open if you didn't slam it shut. I'm so Livid because I slept all night and that was a dangerous situation.

Had bad experience at this Motel. Got there around 5:30 and police cars were blocking entrance. Guns out trying to apprehend someone in one of the rooms. After tgey left everything was calm. They also require you leave a deposit for the room key. I went at 6 in morning to return key and girl had attitude because i woke her up. In my opinion if they don't want to be woken up they shouldn't ask for deposit in cash. Towels were too small , definitely not for adults.

Convienient bargain motel

Conveniently located. Across the street of Long Beach Towne Center. Walmart, Lowe's. Cinemark, restaurants and other retail establishments.
Nextdoor to a liquor store.
Free Parking.
Washer and dryer, microwave near front.
Management was friendly and accommodating if anything is needed.
Can be very quiet.
But, walls are thin. You might hear heavy
walking or runningi the bottom floor.
All things considered, it is a good deal.

Quick last minute trip

I needed a place to stay very quickly and all hotels were expensive. This one was slightly lower. I checked in in the middle of the night to sleep. Of course I got charged for a full day. Even though I asked if they could accommodate date me for a discounted rate because it was late and last minute. Mind you it is during the fires and emergency evacuations in LA County. So it would have been very appropriate to offer a better rate. That's ok. I paid for 2 nights anyway. The room looked generally clean but there was a huge clump of hair in the shower. Not sure if the maid missed it? Or if she was perhaps scrubbing and it was left from under her shoe while cleaning? Or if it wasn't really clean from the last person? 😳

Also, the bed is very hard. King size bed with metal frame & xtra large body pillows but xtra hard firm. For those who like xtra firm, maybe it would suit them. Not me. I slept without a pillow just laid my head on the bed. Grateful to have a bed to sleep in as it was freezing cold this week at night. 🛌

Positive things to note: Room had a mini fridge and heater. Also good lighting in case you want to read a book or need to do your work. Many outlets for charging devices and tables to eat. Storage space was provided for your belongings. The two clerks at the desk were very nice if you have questions. 🙏✝️

Below basic AND not as listed.

This hotel could not be more basic. Bare cinder blocks and a dirt floor would be the only step down.
Also it is not as advertised on Hotels.com. I selected it because it says Pet Friendly and when I showed up with my dog they have a sign stating Service Animals Only at the outdoor teller window you have to interact with them through. Does this mean you can get a refund from Hotels.com due to the false listing details? Nope!

It’s a no frills motel, bare bones. The staff are nice, the shower head has nice settings. Basic soap was given, so recommend you stopping at the target for your essentials. Tesla charger 2 min away, target and major shopping 5 min. Pay for what you get, it’s cheap and has the essentials. It has a fridge with a kitchenette stove top. I saw some people living long term it seems like. No weird noises or anything. They were doing some renovations like new tar for the parking. I really like how this property has cameras all over the property and somebody can always be reached at front desk.
