Anchor Pointe Inn

The free off-street parking was perfect and the lights of the port are pretty cool to if you haven’t ever seen them before.

When we arrived, we almost didn’t go in because the parking lot clearly had a locking gate and we were concerned about the safety of the neighborhood. We had just returned from a 32 day Cruise and wanted to go shopping for the afternoon without all our luggage. The front door was locked and when the employee came to the door, we asked if we could store our luggage until we returned for checkin later that day. He was very accommodating and helped take our luggage to a room where it could be stored until we returned. While we were taking our luggage into the hotel we could tell that a lot of effort had been made to update the inside of the hotel and even though it is an old building it had been through a renovation and seemed as nice as an old building could be. We were told that the parking lot would be locked from 8 pm until 7 am, so if we wanted our car secured we needed to return before 8 pm. It reminded us of more of a Hostel, since some rooms have a shared bathroom. We had requested a private bathroom which resulted in our being assigned to the handicap accessible room which worked well for our needs. The bed was not as comfortable as we had hoped, but it was not terrible either and we did get a good nights sleep. The employee went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. We definitely plan to stay here again when we return for another cruise in the future. They had a small Ice machine only 1-2 quarts.

This place easily beats your Motel 6 or Days Inn. Family run, really clean, ample gated parking. The host was kind to provide a free upgrade to a better room and did not charge extra for indoor parking either. Fresh coffee complimentary in the morning. :) Would book again!

We checked in after 11pm. Very friendly. Street parking was only available in an industrial area. Older hotel but kept up. Beds were comfy. No elevator so we had to carry out luggage up but they did offer to help. Good for a quick stop to sleep and shower before our cruise out of Long Beach

floor was impossibly sticky. the AC was broken, and let out warm air (unless you set it to absolute coldest temp) that smelled like smoke. whole room smelled like smoke and iron. sheets were sticky, i had to sleep on top of the covers. i woke up with bug bites. parking was advertised as free but i had to pay $10 for it. water from sink and shower had an odd smell, i felt dirtier after taking my shower. water had terrible taste when i brushed my teeth i had to brush my teeth in a starbucks after i left. the front desk man, who i believe was the owner, was actually very nice and kind, so it makes me sad to write this review. but for a stay that totaled $115 when all was said and done, it looked nothing like the pictures, room was not well maintained, there were large holes in wall and ceiling, stains on blankets and pillows, and floor, shower, and desk clearly had not been cleaned. not worth the price and did not match any pictures or descriptions. this would have been a fine place to stay if cleaning was up to any standard expectation and if the room looked anything like the pics

Incredibly warm staff, made sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable. Place is very clean, bright and cheery. Basic amenities, no bells and whistles but for a good night of sleep this is great. It’s located in a rough neighborhood but they have a small parking lot that they lock/secure at night so if you can get a spot there you’re better off than street parking, otherwise I don’t recommend leaving valuables in your car in this area. Hotel itself is very safe-feeling though, many cameras, attentive staff. I loved my stay here. Rooms have mini fridge, lobby has microwave. Large bathrooms with nice showers.

I like how safe and quiet the place was and the parking was very convenient!

This is a nice property for the price. Decent, clean, good hospitality. What’s around the hotel isn’t great or felt safe but one in the hotel I was at ease. Parking is 10$

Very well appointed and the stairs were painted different primary colors. Loved our stay and the ability to park our car while on our cruise for $10/day in a gated lot. Best place near the Cruise Terminal and easy Uber pick up.

Staff (maybe owners?) were friendly and helpful, especially the man (husband?). For security, the gate to a small, adjoining parking area is secured at 10pm (there's also parking on the street that is free) and the front door is locked after 8pm. Funky atmosphere.

Good location. Clean and quiet. Good value for the money. Workers are courteous.

Very Bad neighborhood afraid your car will be broken Into very old building some what clean but all the corners of the room and bathroom were not cleaned well Would never book again

I stayed here for two nights. I was bitten by bedbugs and now have to fumigate my house. Do NOT stay here.

very cute and very clean will stay here again.

clean space and affordable. perfect for a workstay

Clean room and friendly staff

The room was very clean. The staff were very good.

Super clean and good staff

Hosts were great. Room was clean, but the shower walls were still dirty. Also, this place is in the projects. Avoid!

Had to share my bathroom. Was taking a shower with a cold water , waited for hot water never got it …

The bed is terrible. No elevators. Shared restrooms with neighbors.

Small quiet room

Very clean , small , basic but comfortable enough no frills room .Hotel is located in a very industrial shipping area . We could hear people outside talking at 3am , which was a bit frustrating . Bathroom was really nice & very clean . Perfectly good for an overnight stay. , probably wouldn’t stay longer .

Cute little place. Colorfully decorated, crisp and clean. Room was a little small but for a place basically for “the night before we go on a cruise” it was nice.

The Anchor Pointe Inn hit a home run. I needed a single-night place to stay to get to the Catalina Express early the next morning (my home was over 2 hours away). The Anchor Pointe Inn was perfect. It's close to the Catalina Express (and the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary and other Long Beach tourist attractions), but it was also half the price of other local hotels. The room was small (it would be perfect for 2 guests), but completely functional - a comfortable bed, a small desk, a refrigerator, a TV and a bath with a shower. The linens were fresh and clean. It also has limited gated parking which I took advantage of for an additional $10 USD. The neighborhood is old industrial (think recycle yards and used auto parts), but I had no issues. I can really recommend the Anchor Pointe Inn for an inexpensive functional hotel.

Clean and good priced stay prior to cruise. They had all the things you might need with friendly service. Be advised that at least some of the rooms had Jack and Jill bathrooms, but that wasn’t bad, especially considering the price.

My "room" had a bathroom outside of it. You need to walk through public corridor to get there, so it's more or less a hostel. The sink tap made a lot of noise when working. A/C is old and kept turning on and off the whole night. They charge extra for parking. The whole area is a bit dodgy.

It was great for what me and my sister needed, which was a one night stay from a cruise trip return. Pros: The hosts were really nice. Only about 10-12 minutes from LB airport. This seemed family owned and it had a very cozy vibe. I loved that they had coffee when I got there and coffee in the morning. They have a nice waiting area with sofas and tv and board games. I like that the front door is secured and can only be opened from the inside or with a key from the outside. They have wifi and it is good for phone purposes(like if you use it on your phone). They have a little Mexican food spot right around the corner that me and my sister walked to (4 minute walk) I forgot the name but it was great and affordable 👌. Cons: Not the best neighborhood/area but it worked for me because I only stayed for one night. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable for me. The cable on the tv was on wifi or something I’m not sure but it kept going in and out and all the channels became inaudible, I couldn’t enjoy the show that I was watching at all had to turn the tv off. Also, the walls are very thin and to top it off my upstairs neighbor had a toddler who wouldn’t stop jumping up and down all over the place it was about 8:40 and went for about an hour 😩 but other than that no issues at all.

great stay. Manager was very nice & accommodating even though I came later than expected! Fast replying and room was cute bathroom was nice

As mentioned in other reviews of this property, it is an excellent option for the price of a Long Beach area hotel. The staff was extremely polite and accommodating; they made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. Also, while being in a more industrial part of town, there was little to no noise that could be heard from our room.

The staff were pleasant and very helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. The staff were also communicative and easy to work with I ended up leaving a valuable behind on accident, and by the time I realized it and called back, it had already been secured, and they kindly shipped it back to me multiple states away no charge! I'd already had a very pleasant stay, but I was so grateful for the kindness and trustworthiness displayed in helping me recover my things even after the stay. For those reasons and more, I definitely stay again! 10/10

The Hosts of the Inn were friendly, attentive and helpful. They offered us tea no matter when ever we were around. The room is dated but clean and the bed was very comfortable. The temperature within the hotel was pleasant. There is a Mexican Restaurant, Pizzeria and Convience Store just a block around the corner. We would recommend this hotel to anyone needing to stay in that area. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant.

The owners of Anchor Pointe Inn went above and beyond to accomodate to the needs of my boyfriend and I who were arriving very late for a cruise we left on the next morning. I felt extremely safe and cared for. The room was clean and spacious. They offered us coffee or tea when we woke up. They let us leave our car in their parking lot while we were on a cruise for the insanely gracious rate of $10 per night. We knew our vehicle would be safe with them. I love to support a small business, and I highly recommend this home away from home!

If I could give 0 stars I would. There was no parking and the area is awful. The worst part of all, I couldn’t even stay in the actual room I had booked and had to find another hotel last minute and pay triple the price because their front doors were locked and no one came to the door.

The room was very clean. The staff were very good.

This is our third time staying here and we are booked to go back next year. The owners are AMAZING. They will go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and don’t have any needs. If you want a quiet family environment this is the place for you.

Great spot. They were very accomodating and helpful. I arrived late to the Inn around midnight, but they were standing by

So much less expensive than staying near the convention center and only about 10-15 minutes away. Strange area, but no problems and good value for the money.

The couple is very welcoming and nice. The rooms has all the basic needs and it super clean. The area which the inn is in, is filled with homeless people and tent city across couple of blocks. Just have to be careful at night.

This is a perfect place for cruisers to come stay overnight, and then head for the cruise. You can also ask them for parking at a lower cost than the cruise terminal. The area around the location is industrial so there’s not much to do however, it is perfect interior wise and convenient spot!

Nice place in the wrong area

There is a reason they don’t show a single outside picture. This place is in a horribly unsafe area, and the guests are required to park on the street. We didn’t feel our car would be safe; so, we declined to stay. We were still build $267 for 3 days, and no refund was offered. Place is a rip off unsafe scam, and Expedia should be ashamed for even listing it.

My stay here was just fine and far, far less money than what I would have paid in Long Beach. The convention center was only 15 minutes (at most) away and easy to get to. Best to stock up on food before you come here as shopping options in the neighborhood are limited. Parking on the street was no problem. I plan to stay here the next time I come down for a trade show or convention.

The property Was very clean just in a bad bad area with bobbed wire everywhere. There was a Mexican restaurant was amazing It was right down the road for $76. You can’t beat it just a place to sleep before we got on our cruise and wasn’t even 10 minutes from carnivals cruise port and owners were very nice.

Clean and quiet. Nothing around the motel

It was quiet, not alot to offer in dining or things to do nearby, as its in an industrial area, but nice and friendly owners. Clean place.

Industrial neighborhood but great place if you need to spend the night somewhere at a great price.

In was clean and remodeled. The staff was helpful and friendly. The double bed was small but comfortable. Not in the best neighborhood but we enjoyed the Maya Mexican Restaurant nearby.

Perfect 1 night stay before our cruise. Clean hotel. Well managed. Would stay again. The only downside not many places to eat nearby unless you have a vehicle. But saying that we had a great evening and stay. Would stay again

The pictures of the site definitely hide the fact that it is in the middle of a very industrial area with almost no nearby accommodations for eating or groceries at all except a single liquor store in walking distance. The rooms had shared bathrooms with other neighboring rooms, and our sink was right at the foot of our bed. The staff, while polite, had very broken English so the most stressful part of our stay was figuring out payment because our Expedia payment for the room didn't go through to the hotel and the staff couldn't understand us enough to be helpful at all. I had to contact Expedia myself for a refund and repay for the room myself and the desk clerk just seemed to get frustrated at me when it was taking so long because I assumed they should have been the ones to resolve the issue.

Clean and quiet. Nothing around the motel

The owners are very sweet, and Vegas was quick to clean or get anything we wanted, and he was very personable. I knew what I was getting, so I was fine. My husband apparently expected something fancier with a bigger bed (I believe our bed was a double). I was glad though to have our own bathroom! The tv reception was horrible! You can walk to a mexican restaurant or pizza place, but there is not much else around. We had dinner and breakfast the next day at the mexican restaurant. The Lyft drivers are great at picking you up there! We took a Lyft to our cruise port and it was very easy. I think for the price it was just fine.

We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the pier. The managers were very helpful and there are a few good restaurants within walking distance. It’s a basic hotel but it met all our needs and more!
