Super 8 Long Beach

Worse place ever! I mean I am not a picky person but the place is far from satisfaction… The comforter is peeling off and the residue is all over the air that can suffocate you. The most unbearable thing is the cleanness…

Great place not bad for the price! Haven’t tried the breakfast yet! But great for a one night stay! Close to a plaza lots of food near by

My friend and I stayed here the night before our cruise. The clerk at the front desk was super fun and helpful, with a great sense of humor. That was much needed after a long drive from Arizona it was a breath of fresh air. When we first entered the room there was a slight smell but nothing too bad. You have access to a sliding door, so a little fresh air went a long way. The room was spacious, we had two queen beds and boy they were soft and comfy (just like I like it.) They offered wine in the evening and complementary breakfast. Nothing fancy but it was nice to have. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Booked through priceline and for a Super 8 this one isn’t bad at all. We stayed for 2 nights in a non-​smoking King room. The bed was comfortable, the fridge was cold enough and the air conditioning worked. The shower had different settings and it wasn’t too cramped in the bathroom. A little weird that there’s a fridge but no microwave, but we didn’t miss it too much. There is free breakfast /​free snack time in the evening but we didn’t go to either so I’m not sure what was served. The parking around the back is OK, it gets a little tight when there are a lot of people but we didn’t get stuck with our truck. There was a small ant problem with our bathroom but since we were only there for 2 nights we didn’t bother complaining or anything. The area is a little rough (near a thrift store that is also a pharmacy that offers Free HIV Testing) but it was the most affordable place near downtown Long Beach (20~ minute drive) that didn’t have horrible reviews.

It was the most less expensive motel we found around LA with some good reviews.
It has air con, it has a pool, it offers free breakfast and a parking lot. Don’t expect any more than that. It’s okay for a night or two.
We had two different rooms, both smelled pretty «old» and so was the furnishing and the rest.
Breakfast was okay, you can make yourself fresh waffles, that is nice.
The Wifi was very slow and not as helpful as hoped.
The cleaning lady didn’t replace missing toilet paper rolls.

We stayed here this past weekend for a wedding and the hotel was clean, spacious and conveniently located. The front desk clerks were awesome and very accommodating. Before I could request it, they had already placed me and my sister’s room as close as possible as they recognized that we had the same last names. They even gave us a complimentary room upgrade just because those were the only rooms left that were closest together. Extra kudos to them for doing that for us. Parking was abundant and the pool deck/​area were just steps away from our room. All that really mattered to us was that we were comfortable and we got just that if not more! I wouldn’t hesitate booking this hotel again if we ever come back to Long Beach. A++++

I am saying five stars because you cannot do better than this at the less than $ 100 a night rate I got here. Edwin at the front desk is fantastic. Helpful and friendly. It is centrally located and in a safe area. Did not feel sketchy like a lot of areas further into Signal Hill. A block away from a Ralph’s too which is handy. Ample parking and clean rooms. Great pool and hot tub. Saw lots of families staying there as well as solo travelers like myself.

This place is great — free breakfast from about 6 to 9 am on weekdays, and 6 to 10 on weekends (I believe; so sue me if I got the times slightly wrong). There’s a decent pool; it’s near tons of downtown stores and restaurants; it’s close to the Queen Mary and the other things on the waterfront. It’s even close to Long Beach Transit bus lines if you’re traveling without a car (I’ve stayed here many times without a car).
Most importantly, it’s fairly inexpensive (maybe $ 70 to $ 80 a night when I’ve stayed there), clean, and doesn’t look or feel like a dumpy, dangerous fleabag of a hotel. The rooms have cable TV, mini-​fridges, microwave ovens, and so on. The décor appears to be from the late 1970s or early 1980s, which is fine with me — it reminds me of some of my friends’ houses from when I was a kid. The only problem when I’ve stayed there was that ONE TIME, the WiFi was really slow. Since it was perfectly fine the other times I’ve stayed, it was obviously an aberration. The WiFi still worked, and I figured I could go to a coffee shop or library if I had do. I didn’t bother to complain.
They’ve been nice enough to hold my reservation when I got in late, even though my credit card didn’t go through and they couldn’t reach me (one Travelodge in Hollywood released my room when my debit card, which had been «hacked» and replaced since I made the reservation, didn’t go through and I got in late). The manager, Edwin, recognizes me by face and name (pretty impressive!), probably from our initial contacts by email about the first reservation I made years ago.
The staff also didn’t make a fuss when I sat at a table in their spacious lobby, using their WiFi on my laptop (it worked really well that day), while waiting for my newlywed friends to pick me up (apparently they were delayed by something)… This place is well worth the money.

I was told by the the lady I reserved my room through that I would be able to check in early. I didn’t make the reservation through the hotel, but they did go out of their way to get me in earlier because of the mistake. I also had a birthday cake that they let me put in their refrigerator while I waited. There was a problem with the shower and they switched our room without us even having to ask. The customer service alone was enough to give five stars, but the hotel room was large and very clean. I will definitely stay here again!

Recently stayed for a long weekend. The room is about what you’d expect for the price, dated, but clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly. The location is convenient.
The hot tub was a nice surprise. It’s covered and somewhat hidden from the rooms. I agree with other reviews that I wish there were more towels in the room for when you go to the pool or hot tub.
We didn’t partake of the free breakfast, but from what I could tell it was pretty sparse.
The internet is AWFUL. I’ve experienced dial-​up speeds that were better.
All in all, I’d stay here again, because of the price and location. It is a good value for the price. If you’re just looking for a clean place to sleep and relax, this is a good choice.

In the middle of the night, water started leaking from the ceiling on my laptop on the table.
Smelly rooms in general. Internet doesn’t work.

I’ve stayed at this place at least 5 different occasions and it’s a fantastic place to stay in Long Beach. The staff is super friendly and well organized. The price is extremely affordable but you get so much for it. Each room was I’ve been in was stocked with a mini fridge, nice view of the pool, free wifi that works well and a really good breakfast spread. This place is my go to in Long Beach

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise for my husband and I. We are over the road truck drivers and usually have to stay in some pretty gnarly places to accommodate the truck. Our truck plus two tour buses fit fine here. The room was very large and had a great balcony over looking the pool. The pool had a lot of patio area and was pretty spacious. It had a large separate hot tub which we didn’t use, but it looked nice. The man who checked us in, maybe the owner, was very gracious and friendly even though you could tell he was very busy. The place was CLEAN! It was very close to shopping, freeways, the long beach airport and just minutes from many beaches. We felt the price for what we got was totally worth it. The night guy at the desk was also super helpful and really great. We will totally be back!

Stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise. Checked in and welcomed with refreshments in the lobby. Nice. Had an upstairs corner room. Loved having the balcony. We had no problem with noise even though the place was full. After a long drive the hot tub felt great. Needed more towels and the front desk was very nice about getting us dry ones to use in the am. Next morning, nice breakfast with fresh fruit, pastries, make yourself waffles, just about anything you could want.
The room was large, beds were comfy. About the only complaint was the upstairs ice machine didn’t work. It seemed there was only one other machine for the whole motel. I could see where that could become a problem in the summer.
All and all, a very enjoyable stay. And the price couldn’t be beat. I would stay here again should I be in the area.

Here is an update on that situation. They truly do not care for their customers.
This is my response to what they emailed me:
«
Hello,
Then perhaps the room was not properly cleaned before my last visit if other items were located. The hypodermic needle was not my property and I was not aware this was in the room. Perhaps someone broke into the room when I Left, i’m not sure however at this point it’s your customers word vs your staff. As for right now I feel you care nothing for your customers, and just because there has been a 5 year clean streak, just means you have not actively caught anything that has been going on. Or someone is in on it, and it’s being covered up.
«
So now it seems there was a Hypodermic needle in the room, which worries me because i was staying in that room and I could have by accident got hurt by this device. So apparently the room was not properly cleaned prior to my stay, so this is only making them look worse in my eyes.
This is such a low quality Super 8, i continue to state look else where.

This is with reference to the complaint that you filed with Customer Care of Super 8, regarding your recent stay at the Super 8 in Long Beach, CA, particularly the concerns that you raised regarding the additional charge that was billed to your American Express account for items that were missing from Room 224 that you occupied on December 14, 2014, as follows:
2 sets of towels (consisting of 2 each bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths, & 1 bath mat
1 blanket
1 coffeemaker
First, I do hope you understand that as the registered guest, you are legally responsible for the room that you rented, including but not limited to any damages to he room, missing items, etc. This is the legal basis upon which your account was charged for the cost of the above missing items.
Second, we take exception to your allegation that «there is a thief amongst the staff»; Our Housekeeping staff has been with us for at least 5 years to more that 15 years, and we have never had any issues with any other guests regarding the honesty and integrity of our room attendants. To tarnish their reputation, and in the same vein the reputation of the hotel, in this manner is totally unacceptable.
Third, please be informed that a hypodermic needle (syringe) was found in the room. This is a hazard and a danger that we will not allow our housekeeping staff to be exposed to.
Lastly, in view of the manner by which this situation appears to be escalating, we have taken the necessary steps to report all of the above to our local police authorities so that they are apprised of the matter. A copy of this e-​mail is also being sent to Super 8 Customer Care for their information.
Please feel free to get directly in touch with me if you have any questions.

–We were moving from cold Seattle to Long Beach, and came across this place. Wonderful. Our room had two big beds two chests a desk a large table, a sitting room kitchen with a micro wave, fridge and a television, the 2^nd one in the place, and a very comfy chair… holy cow.
They have a pool, and I am told a Jacuzzi but most of our time was in town looking at apartments.
The breakfast is also good, bagels and cream cheese, waffles, yoghurt and fruit.
A friendly staff.
We found an apartment, and staying here was most relaxing while we looked and moved in.

Great deal in LB! (Great rooms. Great pool. Great customer service. Great location.)
(I can’t wait to stay here again!)

This place is awesome!
Happy hour from 5−8pm. No bar, but sodas for the kids, and boxed wine for the grown ups. Oh, and chips and popcorn. Which is friggin’ AWESOME! I mean, seriously, how many places will give you cheap wine and chips? None! (By the way, the boxed wine they had wasn’t bad, not bad at all)
And free breakfast! A REAL breakfast! Juice! Milk! Waffles! Never stayed at a place that had a waffle maker! COOL!
Aside from the free goodies, parking spot in front of the door. Décor is beautiful. Landscaping is neato-​skeeto! Bed was comfortable, linens were clean. Towels were big and covered my butt, and they took the time to fan fold the towels. Bed was super comfy. Room came with a fridge and a little coffee maker.
Deep pool, heated; jacuzzi, heated! They have a sauna too, but considering it was only 95,000 degrees outside, the pool seemed more attractive than the sauna.
Walls well insulated and didn’t hear neighbors!
Sure it’s a place to lay your head for the night, but the staff is super friendly (the desk clerk even took the time to sit down with us during happy hour and have a cup of sprite), the décor is cute as hell, and they make the effort to make people feel welcome. Seriously, what place doesn’t have a bar and provides happy hour with boxed wine!
Oh, and for the room, the price rocks!

I stayed at this hotel multiple times over a 3 month period while I was in Long Beach. You can tell the owner (Mr. Edwin) really takes pride in the place and has his staff trained well!
It’s my favorite place to stay n long beach, big flat screen tv’s, wIFI IS FREE strong wifi signal (they have like 9 routers so there is no «bad room” — the housekeeping actually really clean the rooms and even take the time to fold your toilet paper into a little fan– I mean I’m a dude and I was like «whoa»
The Ac blows cold, and some rooms have fridges and microwaves– they have a REAL BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING– Big fat belgian waffle maker, all kinds of cereal, pastries, bagel, bread, coffee, apple juice– Like I said a REAL breakfast.
The swimming pool is clean and there a jacuzzi– The rooms are well insulated I dont remember having problems with loud noise– Its located near everything Ralphs grocery, In n out burger, a Porsche dealership haha
After about 3 stays, the Owner «Mr.E» knew me on a first name basis and made me feel like he really valued my business. It’s rare these days that you get what you pay for, and are happy to pay. It’s even more rare that I have a positive review to give. I stayed there over 20 times, and queen and king rooms and they are all nice. It really is the best bargain n Long Beach, and even if you plan on going to Disneyland its not far. I could g onand on but this is a great hotel. Don’t take my word for it, go show up on a Saturday without a reservation and you will see they are booked 100%, because ots the best kept secret in Long Beach– hell I didn’t even write this review until I moved because I didnt want everyone to know hhaaha
I was not paid to write this, I am not an employee or schill in any way, I just really have to give Mr. E and his whole staff down to the cleaning crew their full, true, and proper respect.

We stayed here while we visited Los Angeles. The area didnt seem bad, heck this place is right next to a Porsche dealership. Again I was fine with this place just as long as it didnt have bed bugs which it didn’t, thank goodness…
There’s an outdoor pool that had a deep end (I think it was 12 ft deep). There’s also an outdoor jacuzzi. They also provide breakfast. +1 for having a waffle maker also.
There’s also a shopping area nearby. We were able to walk to it but be careful with the traffic bc I dont think there were crossing lights. (In-​N-​Out is nearby!!!)
Also there is a parking space right outside your room door. The only minor minor problem was that the room had this weird old smell to it but it wasn’t an issue.
