The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helped with a super quick check-out process—no delays at all. Heads up: there’s a $100 refundable deposit, but you’ll get it back when you leave. Honestly, I’ve stayed in worse places for more money, so this is definitely a great value.

Hotel Salina
I booked a room at Hotel Salina for my dad and his wife to stay a few days while visiting their son in Long Beach. The location was perfect—easy access, quiet neighborhood, and just a short walk from local spots. The room itself was clean, spacious, and had a very comfortable bed with all the essentials: good lighting, working AC, plenty of outlets, and a nice-sized bathroom. My dad had to leave early due to a flight change and forgot to collect his incidental deposit back. I was actually worried about it, but the hotel manager called me personally to let me know what happened. Even better, they processed a refund through Venmo and sent it directly to me so I could pass it on to my dad. That kind of honesty and proactive service is rare these days—it really stood out. I’ve stayed at many hotels before, but this level of care and transparency is unforgettable. If you're in the area, especially for family visits or a quick getaway, I highly recommend Hotel Salina. It’s not just a place to sleep; it feels like home.

It’s clear the team is proud to work here, and as guests, we felt truly welcomed and valued. Even if we didn’t have plans in Long Beach, I’d still choose this hotel just for the service and comfort.
