In town for the Grand Prix of Long Beach and for that purpose, this hotel has a stellar location. It's a straight 15 minute shot on city streets right to downtown Long Beach (where the race is). No freeways, no hassle, and no obscene traffic any of the days getting there. Plus, along the way there are a ton of places to eat or get groceries including Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Go the other way on Westminster and there's Albertsons or Aldi plus a ton of fast food -- and yes, an In-And-Out Burger. As for the facility itself, it's a basic stay hotel with a few amenities. Room is clean (hardwood floors) and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean too. For those interested, the pool looked well maintained. Breakfast was a nice mix of cereal, fruit, juices, and scrambled eggs, potatoes, and sausages. Staff was extremely nice and accommodating -- even though I had to check in at 1AM after a late arrival into LAX. No worries parking -- they have enough spaces. In my room the fridge didn't work (there is a light switch to turn on the electricity to the fridge, but it never got cold after turning it on). Also, some noise from the neighbors next door -- nothing bad, but could hear them. Not a big deal, but if silence is your thing, chances are you'll hear your neighbors a bit and that might bother you. Road noise...not an issue for me since I had a room towards the back of the property. It's exactly what I thought it would be when I booked -- not fancy, but a good place to stay for a few nights and very convenient to the event I was attending.
