Pros:

The wall paper in the bathroom. The blue was stunning.

Cons:

The toilet paper roll was back on the wall behind. Made it a stretch to reach for it. Not convenient.should have been located to the side of the toilet. Maybe sunken in flush with the counter under the sink.

No stay no way
Pros:

Nice place

Cons:

Never checked in after booking/paying for online 2 days early. I have stayed at BW for years. We sat and waited 3 hours. And I was told my visa is not accepted.

Normally a great place but they must fumigate.
Pros:

I love the location and free breakfast

Cons:

My room had roaches. I stay at this place all the time. They are currently under construction and they now have roaches. Maybe because my room was right next to the rooms they are remodeling, is the reason. I don’t know but I canceled my second day to stay and went to a different hotel by the sea.

Long beach goods!
Pros:

The staff were great, very friendly and welcoming. The check in and out process was easy enough. It was close to walk to a lot of the main areas of long beach and really close to public transport also which was great. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included also!

Cons:

They were in the middle of doing some renovations which wasn't too bad. And unfortunately we didn't have a great view from our room itself. It was of the back of the building and an alley way with a motel behind, not amazing. Because of the location too, you could also hear some street noise at night but nothing crazy.
