Long Beach Hotel

Oh my goodness ~ Tekla! When we checked in, we were bummed, we'd expected an ocean view which doesn't exist as hotel is a block from the shore. But Tekla, with her sweet demeanor, calmed us and opened us up the sweetness of the hotel. It's an older building but, it's clean. I found it charming once I let my guard down. The elevator worked, as did the jacuzzi tub. We had delicious complimentary coffee in the morning before our one minute walk to the beach. We were able to purchase goodies in the 24 hour snack center in the lobby. So, adjust your expectations. Arrive with the idea of enjoying the nostalgia of a Long Beach from days gone by. Smell the sea breeze while you journal. Have an ice cold Corona at the outdoor bar/Cafe. But most importantly, say hi to Tekla - tell her I can't wait to come back and see her again.

The staff was extremely responsive to our needs. I also liked being able to show my son an old style elevator. We only had to go up one floor, but he enjoyed that experience! The room was quiet also, which was nice.

The room was a lot larger then I expected. The staff at the reception was extremely nice and helpful with information whenever needed and offered more. Very friendly and even offered late checkout if needed. I would recommend this hotel anytime to anyone (but my enemies ;-) )

The room was on the small side but the mattresses were wonderful. There was a fridge which we weren’t expecting but very happy to have. The hotel is an older building so the floors were not quite level in our room but everything else was great. Would definitely stay again. I have stayed in the other more expensive hotel in town and our treatment (bumped from two bed suite to one room less than 48 hours before arrival) left us very disappointed with them! The service at Long Beach hotel was wonderful.

My room was a pleasant surprise like a quaint 1 bedroom apartment.
