Hotel Current

The shower experience at this hotel is absolutely unmatched—hands down the best I've ever had in any hotel, anywhere. The ceiling-mounted rain showerhead delivers a powerful, even flow that feels like being caught in a gentle downpour. It’s incredibly relaxing and truly elevates the whole stay. The location is great—easy access to downtown Long Beach, and everything feels clean and well-maintained. The only minor issue was some noise from a wedding party returning to their rooms late at night, which lasted until we reported it. But honestly, that’s a small hiccup in an otherwise perfect stay. The room was spacious, the staff friendly, and the overall vibe just right. Definitely worth coming back for the shower alone.

Inn at 50 - Long Beach Convention Center

My stay at the Inn at 50 - Long Beach Convention Center was absolutely excellent! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the convention center, with plenty of dining options and local shops nearby. I felt completely safe throughout my visit, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The staff went above and beyond—they were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. From check-in to checkout, every interaction was smooth and welcoming. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with all the essentials you’d need for a stress-free trip. With such great value and a prime spot in Long Beach, I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Hyland Inn Long Beach

We were so grateful for the early check-in option—our music festival ended late, and having a place to rest before our trip was a lifesaver. The room had just been recently renovated, and it showed: everything was spotless, fresh, and well-maintained. The mattress was an absolute highlight—so comfortable that I actually asked the front desk if they sold them! It’s not every day you find a hotel bed that makes you want to take it home. The location is great too, just a short walk from downtown Long Beach, and super convenient if you’re exploring by foot or public transit. This stay exceeded expectations, and I’d definitely book again without hesitation.

Lumea by the Sea

Staying at Lumea by the Sea was a delightful experience overall—perfectly located near the beach with a peaceful, serene atmosphere. The room was clean, well-appointed, and had great views. The only downside was the limited parking availability. We had to circle around a few times just to find a spot, which was a bit frustrating, especially after a long day of travel. It would be great if the hotel could expand parking options or offer clearer signage for visitors. Despite that small hiccup, the location, comfort, and value make it a strong recommendation. I’d definitely stay here again.

Hyatt Regency Long Beach

Staying at Hyatt Regency Long Beach was an absolute delight, especially for the fireworks display. The view from the hotel is unbeatable—right in the perfect spot to enjoy the entire show with no obstructions. It’s incredibly convenient, just a short ride from downtown, and the overall experience offered great value. The ambiance is peaceful, making it ideal for both relaxation and special occasions. I’d definitely come back again.

Marriott Long Beach Downtown

Staying at the Marriott Long Beach Downtown was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The check-in process was seamless and efficient—no delays, no stress. The front desk staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, making our arrival feel warm and personal. The hotel feels brand new, with modern furnishings and spotless facilities throughout. Every detail reflects care and attention, creating a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this is a top-tier choice in downtown Long Beach. Highly recommend it!

Fairmont Breakers Long Beach

Staying at the Fairmont Breakers Long Beach was an absolute delight. The room was immaculate and beautifully designed with a luxurious, elegant vibe that immediately made us feel special. I was particularly impressed by the high-end amenities—using Le Labo toiletries in the bathroom added a nice touch of sophistication. The location is fantastic; it’s super convenient for getting around town, whether you’re walking or taking public transit. The pool area is spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing under the sun or taking a refreshing swim. The only minor issue was the gym door not closing properly, but overall cleanliness was good—just a few small areas could use a bit more attention. Still, this hotel delivers exceptional value and charm, making it a top pick for anyone visiting Long Beach.

The Westin Long Beach

The Westin Long Beach is hands down one of the best value-for-money options in Long Beach. I’ve stayed here before and I’d definitely come back—especially since I got a complimentary room upgrade during my last visit. While it might help to offer a small tip to the front desk staff to increase your chances, the overall experience was fantastic. The location is super convenient, just a short ride from downtown and major attractions. The rooms are clean, modern, and comfortably furnished—even if they’re not the largest. If you're on a budget but still want a reliable, well-maintained hotel with great service, this place hits the sweet spot. For those looking for luxury beyond this range, there are other options, but for what it offers at this price point, The Westin Long Beach is truly hard to beat.

Hyatt Centric the Pike Long Beach

The Hyatt Centric the Pike Long Beach offers a fantastic experience with its clean and well-maintained environment. Daily housekeeping ensures everything stays fresh and tidy, which is always a plus. The bathroom is fully equipped with all essentials—except for toothbrushes, which are standard—but otherwise, it's thoughtfully stocked. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioning unit makes a bit of noise when running, but it’s hardly noticeable during sleep. Overall, the hotel delivers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a reliable, stylish stay in Long Beach.

Dockside Boat & Bed Long Beach

It was my birthday, and staying at Dockside Boat & Bed Long Beach made it extra special. The location was perfect—easy to get to, with everything I wanted just steps away. Right across the street is the pier and shoreline, offering endless activities and stunning views. My husband and I shared a romantic evening on the boat, and every moment felt magical. The staff, especially Kent, went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches, it was clear how much care goes into making guests feel at home. The atmosphere, the scenery, and the overall experience were absolutely top-notch. I can’t wait to come back—it’s not just a hotel, it’s a memory in the making.

Hotel Maya

Long Beach isn’t exactly booming when it comes to tourism these days—most of the foot traffic still comes from cruise ships. But Hotel Maya is a real gem in this setting, located just a short ride from the port. While you can’t walk there, calling ahead for the free shuttle is super easy and worth it. Tipping the driver about $1 per person goes a long way—they’re friendly and often offer an extra courtesy ride to downtown Long Beach attractions like the aquarium and Pier Outlet shopping area. The hotel’s exterior might look a bit dated, but inside? Totally different story. Spacious rooms with high ceilings, sleek electric double-layered curtains, and panoramic views of the bay make every moment feel special. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. For travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a great view without breaking the bank, this is one of the best spots in town.

Courtyard by Marriott Long Beach Downtown

Staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Long Beach Downtown was a delightful surprise! The room featured floor-to-ceiling windows that actually open, letting in a refreshing sea breeze—such a nice touch for a beachside stay. It's just a short walk to the beach, making it super convenient for a relaxing getaway. The location is perfect—close to the water but still quiet and comfortable. Great value, clean rooms, and excellent service. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Long Beach.
