Hotels near Alamitos Bay Beach

"I found the City Center Hotel to be an affordable, cute midcentury hotel in the heart of downtown Long Beach. There is a lovely courtyard with plentiful seating and a French-inspired restaurant with cocktails open Tue-Sat from 5pm to 9pm. (Though it seems they close at 10pm on the weekends.) Also, there is a kidney-shaped pool surrounded by lounge chairs. I picked this hotel because they allow dogs. I would give this hotel four stars if it wasn’t for two things: 1) I requested a quiet room away from the ice machine and was quite dismayed they put me in the only room RIGHT NEXT TO THE ICE MACHINE. Not only was it next to ice machine, but it was also one of two rooms with a giant window that looked out onto the noisy, downtown street. Along with the sound of car alarms and people yelling, my dog barked loudly every time someone came to get ice. (Fortunately, they moved me to a quieter room the next day.) 2) The property appears to be a small, boutique hotel but it is run by a large corporation that manages 75 properties and uses Artificial Intelligence to communicate with you. If you request a late checkout, AI will tell you it’s not available or route you to a page where you can only get a late check if you pay for it. I found this lack of customer service off-putting. Things to know: • There is no designated hotel parking. There isn’t even a passenger drop off / pick up area in front of the reception area. Also, it is challenging to find parking downtown at night, and "

"Our room was ready a little bit early when we got there and they let us check in. We got the mini suite because there were three of us. We booked here due to the convenience of being right next-door to the Carnival cruise terminal where we were going to sail out after spending the night at the Queen Mary. There was a queen size bed and a pullout couch that I believe was also queen size. There are also two full bathrooms in the suite. It’s dark and a little bit creepy but in a good way. It’s old, elegant and really cool. Our irritation came when I realized (rather close to bedtime) that the pullout couch was not made. I pulled it out and there were no sheets. There were no sheets or bedding in the closet either. So I went to the front desk to request such and after waiting for more than an hour, I had to go back and ask again. The daytime and nighttime staff were like night and day. Daytime staff super helpful and accommodating. Very great with customer service. Nighttime staff unfriendly, cold and slightly rude. I finally got those sheets delivered to the door, but I had to put them on myself. Not exactly what I was anticipating for a room that cost over $350 for one night. I liked the experience, but I probably won’t do it again. The observation deck bar was a great time!"

"Place was easy to find with uber. Check in/out was fast. Shuttle to cruise was seamless. I just wished when we told them that we were going on a cruise they could have mentioned that we needed to sign up for the shuttle. We didn’t find out till our other friends showed up. And we told concierge that we were going on the cruise in conversation. Other than that little hiccup all was well"

"Good food in the restaurant. Clean room. Lots of comfortable sitting area in the lobby. "
