Hotell i Long Beach nära Belmont Shore/Marina

Plus: It was value for money and the staff were great!

Minus: There were not enough facilities in the room

Plus: The maintenance guy, when we were finally able to get the front desk to have him check out our room, was a fast worker and great to talk to. The bathroom was really nice, aside from the faucet not being screwed on (maintenance guy fixed it), shower gel container they provided was broken, and toilet looked about 20 years old. They gave us a bottle of wine since we were there for our honeymoon.

Minus: It's really a motel, not a hotel. Room was not artsy, eclectic, or colorful like they advertise- it was brown, beige, and black with only 2 splashes of color in the whole room. Housekeeping sucked- didn't vacuum when there were obvious areas of food crumbs, left the garbage can on the toilet, didn't replace ice bag, didn't notify maintenance of problems with room (he specifically said they're supposed to do that). Internet was practically nonexistent and we were only allowed two devices. No HDMI hookups on the tvs. Front desk wasn't very helpful and didn't notify maintenance the first time we came to them with problems. Curtain was ripped so 6 inches of light poured in the room. People smoked outside our room so the smoke smell got in our room die to the 1 inch gaps around the door. They overpriced every service ($2 to wash laundry, $1.75 to dry laundry, $3 minimum to use their computer and $0.50 for each additional minute, $1-1.50 to print per page, etc.). No hot tub, just the pool, though the pool was nice.

Plus: Good money value - better than expected Cleanliness and nice furniture Lots of lighting in the room

Minus: Breakfast only starts at 6:30AM Difficulties to excess wifi through multiple devices

Plus: The rooms were very big. Bathroom was great.

Plus: The hotel was nice, clean and the location was close to downtown long beach, staff was really friendly and helpful. Our stay was great, beds were really comfortable and our room came with a fridge and microwave. Would comeback to stay for next years Long Beach marathon.

Minus: Only thing wrong was the walls are a bit thin you could hear door close from other rooms down the building. But other than that's no other problems.

Plus: The staff was friendly and professional. The room was very clean and included a wall-mounted flatscreen television with a user interface that was easy to use! Additionally, the entertainment "console" included HDMI and USB ports. Although I didn't use it, I paid an additional five dollars for Wi-Fi service. I was a little surprised, because in my experience Wi-Fi service is usually included in the price of the room. I was particularly impressed by the placement of the light switches throughout the room! They were convenient and practical and easily accessed from the bed. This feature distinguished Motel 6 from some of the better hotels I've patronized!

Minus: Access to the hotel parking lot is restricted, serviced by a single driveway for entry and exit and can only be accessed from one side of the street – that is, there is no way to turn left into their parking lot. Consequently, if you're headed in the wrong direction, you must execute a U-turn or a combination of lefts and rights before you can enter the lot. This hotel is not located in what I would necessarily characterize as a bad neighborhood, but because of my frequent encounters with panhandlers, I wouldn't necessarily call it family-friendly.

Minus: I didn't like the fact I was billed up front for room stay,
