Courtyard by Marriott Long Beach Downtown

the staff is always helpful and friendly. very welcoming. the property is conveniently located downtown with access to many local restaurants and retail. they have a guest only parking garage which is convenient and ideal.

The restaurant was understaffed and the food tasted as if it was straight out of a box. The sauce on the lasagna tasted like chef boyardee sauce. Very disappointing.

Breakfast for convenience only.

Facilities much nicer than we were anticipating The dinner menu was very limited but was told only because the Grand Prix race was in town. Made sense. Everything was great. Only minor issue was the noise from speeding cars and motorcycles was pretty loud in the room. Settled down after 10 Pm though. Staff goes out of their way to make sure you are happy.

Good location for attending a show at the Convention centre. Had issues on arrival as the staff refused to let my wife check in when arriving in LA on an earlier flight than me by a few hours - seemed a bit odd as she was going to pay for the room and we have the same last name, but the room was reserved only in my name as every booking I make! When I landed hours after her, I spoke to the front desk and they reluctantly allowed her to pay and check in after she had been forced to camp out in the lobby and restaurant for a few hours! Odd, because all the interactions with front desk team after this were pleasant and they were all very lovely throughout our stay! Tito in the restaurant was a stand out friendly efficient chap who could not do enough for everyone - kudos to him for making all diners feel welcome. The Hummous was the most garlic I have ever experienced but other food we had was perfectly nice. We had a less able bodied room which meant an uber big bathroom and very spacious bedroom. Overall a great choice for Long Beach. We splashed out on a steak night at the walkable 555 restaurant next door to the property and it was stunning - best steak in a long time and very attentive in service. Would stay again, older but well cared for property.
