So unique!

I loved the old fashioned feel of our room. Best of all, you get to eat free breakfast overlooking the marina!

Bedding is rumpled, pillows uncomfortable, no need for bedspreads as old and unattractive. Baths extra small. --walls crumbling. has once been very nice--now old, shabby and outdated.

Not a 'value' experience

After growing up in Long Beach, I chose the Golden Sails for it's location in my traveling. I knew where it was and the access to highways and such. Beyond that, my expectations were a bit higher than the reality since it had been considered a 'better' hotel in my youth. While the rooms were pleasant and comfortable, the exterior and public spaces really need updating. The restaurant was very dated but the food (the breakfast) was very good and whle I noticed the ballroom and banquet rooms are used by local groups and churches frequently, they are in need of a makeover.

Nice, generic hotel

Nothing special, but relatively inexpensive, with nice people. Good value. I've never actually taken advantage of the meals provided. This is the third time I've stayed, first time in the "hotel" part (that is, the internal halled areas). I prefer the "motel" part (the exterior doors), as they seem to be in slightly better shape and parking is a lot easier. If you're going for vacation, you can probably find a nicer place, nearer the vacation-y stuff. If you're going for business, it's quick, relatively quiet, pretty clean. Nice people, and free wireless.

"motel" (exterior door area) parking is a lot easier with regards to parking than the hotel part.

Good hotel for the price

I just stayed three nights at this hotel and was quite happy with it. There is nothing extraordinary about the hotel but it has everything you want. It is located very close to the airport and the freeways, so it is very accessible. The room was great and the staff helpful. The restaurant is kind of sad but breakfast is really nice.

Outstanding Stay

Front desk was very professional and helpful in everyway! Upgraed our room & view without any hesitation. Staff all were most friendly and willing to assist us in any and every way! They noted our stay for 6 days, offered and setup a microwave and showed us where the popcorn vending machine was. We got FREE morning breakfasts down in the hotels restaurant and were impressed with the WIDE selection of items available. The restaurant staff was very friendly and right there with refills on coffee, waters, etc.! This hotel may be a bit dated but you won't get any compaints on this from us. Grounds were gorgeous, lobby, hallways, grounds, all were very clean and immaculately groomed. They have FREE internt and computers in the room next to lobby...free exercise room, and lovely courtyard with pool, tables, and very quiet!! I'll stay at the Best Western/Golden Sailes in Long Beach on all my visits! Close to shopping, marina, access to freeways, airport and family!! THANK YOU GOLDEN SAILS FOR MAKING OUR STAY SUCH A VERY PLEASANT ONE...we will recommend your hotel to everyone!!!

Inexpensive stay

My adult daughter and I were in the area for a wedding in Laguna Beach. All of the lodging locations were very expensive except this Best Western. The decor was definitely 70's, but the room was spotless and overlooked (from our balcony) the swimming pool which many guests were enjoying. A full delicious buffet breakfast was included. While there was a fleet of sailors occupying the hotel as well as a religious convention, the place was quiet. The front desk staff was very helpful in locating a great mexican restaurant (Enrique's)in a plaza across the street. I couldn't have asked for more.
