Nice hotel odd location

The staff are nice and the hotel itself looks really nice inside but the location worried me. It's surrounded by factories and warehouses and not other motels or hotels. It's close to downtown LB and to the beach and if it's used just for sleep then it's perfect, but dont expect anything fancy.

The owner was super nice and accommodating. He went above and beyond to help me out a couple times. The place itself is a decent size for the price. It’s by no means the cleanest place and the parking situation is super tight.

Please Read

Well let me say the man who checked us in,was really nice. Once my boyfriend and I went into the room it looked clean but we like to inspect before we get comfortable. The sheets were stained but to the point where they needed new sheets. There was this one gold cylinder pillow and that was stained it was gross. Then the TV's remote was not even the remote to the TV and to increase the volume my boyfriend had to get up and press the button on the side of the TV. We saw this bag of samples in the bathroom and I don't know why in the world I didn't look at the expiration date, before I popped ate the bag of cranberries. Those samples expired in 2011. You would think they wouldn't even dare to give out expired samples but then again the hotel didn't have clean sheets. I like to look out the window in the morning to look at the sun rise. You know what I saw, I saw a brick wall with bob wire on top. The bathroom was so tiny my boyfriend had to stand sideways to reach the sink (the sink was in a tiny corner).

Would definitely not go back as the place was filthy, and looked absolutely nothing like the pictures and videos. Motel next to busy truck stop in a dark part of LA. Please avoid this at all costs.

Cute and we'll put together room, mini fridge, microwave, nice tv and nicely tiled bathroom. On the small side, but great for a night for a couple or a few for a single. Staff was very sweet and prompt. Limited parking.

Worst place EVER!!!

Location was bad, located near truck driver station. Only 5 parking spots and only one way in to motel with NO space what so ever you could only back out when leaving. Stayed for two nights and the motel staff would not even come in a change out towels. Wood floors which were completely dirty. Just over all bad bad bad......

Good for what you're paying.

Staff was very attentive. I love that he owner lives on the property and if you ever need anything (for example our room door was not locking before we went out) you can just ring his doorbell and he will be more than happy to help. The room did smell a bit like cigarette smoke but I just went across the street to the gas station and bought some fabreez. Good for the low price that you are paying.

Just being honest

It was definitely an interesting experience, to say the least. The concierge were nice and helpful, but the first room we were checked into I had to get a room for unsanitary reasons. The next room I was relocated to was fair, but far better than the last! The rooms walls are hollow, rooms are small and right next to a truck stop, but hey essentially you get what you pay for.. It's not the worst place in the world to stay, but definitely not what I'm use too..

La Bonita

This hotel was pretty bad and I was surprised that it would even be offered on hotels.com. For starters, the room was tiny- it hardly help more then the double size bed we got, which we were told was a king. After showering in the morning about an half an hour later when put socks on my feet were filthy on the bottom., so that shows how dirty their floors were.,the parking was also really tight and we had a rude awakening by manager knocking on our door to move our compact size rental car because someone could not get out (understandable because we were packed like sardines.) the hotel was also in a real grungy neighbor hood and was surrounded by an industrial type area. If it was earlier we would have called back to request something else, but since it was so late and we were exhausted we stayed. The walls were pretty dirty as well...I wanted to take pictures but ran out of time.

I was disappointed

I was not familiar with this side of Long Beach. I was trying to get a place as close as possible to the Queen Mary. The hotel is about two exits away. The room is small but clean. The room is newly renovated,but the smell of diesel gas due to the commercial truck business next door. The bathroom is clean, but small. The bathroom door hits the toilet bowl when open prevent the door to open all the way. We asked for an iron but received an ironing board with the promised of the iron will be delivered later. The iron never came to our room. Everything about our room were small and there were not much room to moved around. I do not recommend it.
