This is my go to hotel. Sleep amazing here. Beds are comfy and it's quiet. It's also clean. Love it

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel CURRENT - we booked a Snooze and Cruise package where we stayed overnight and they shuttled us to the cruise port and our car stayed in their lot for the week. We were anxious going into it, but Hotel CURRENT really has made a good setup, we booked our time slot and the van was there waiting for us when it was our time. The pool area is beautiful, good space to lounge and enjoy. The water was a bit chilly for me, but my kids enjoyed it to the fullest. The room we had was spacious, good sized bathroom, and the bed was quite comfy. We'd definitely stay here again for another snooze and cruise or even just a stay. read more

Nice price for a double but they need to upgrade on the small fridge. There is no door to separate for privacy and the bathroom is big but they don't clean the shower walls. A sliding door to shut off the restroom from main room. It was ok but I wouldn't go back. The parking lot is tight when it gets full. But what I thought was awesome about the parking spaces...they each had a statement. 3 stars Is what I give them. WiFi had a great signal read more

Beds are fine but at these prices you'd expect decent WiFi and a basic breakfast. WiFi doesn't work well and it's not a one time thing, a company I work an event for nearby books this same hotel every year and it's been bad for at least 3 years. Basic stuff now a days that even the cheapest motels have. read more

I'm back!!! Pleased to say the hotel has had some updates, but unfortunately they still don't offer the breakfast. The rooms are clean but the beds are only full sized beds. They do have the shuttle for the cruise port once again so I'm pleased to report that! read more

Check your debit/credit card. This place charged me twice. It's overpriced, I found stains on the pillows and they charge an extra $15 for parking which is ridiculous!! Never again!! read more

Google search lead us to booking this hotel for one night while traveling through Long Beach. Booked the same day (Saturday) through Expedia for a total of $219.72 (price includes all fees and taxes. We were genuinely surprised at the level of cleanliness, upgraded design and lovely hospitality of this hotel. We would have never picked this hotel based on the exterior - it looks rather dated - yet wow with the inside! The photos posted on Expedia are SPOT on. For a Saturday night, this part of Long Beach was very safe and quiet. We're definitely staying here next time! Let me know if you find this review helpful? read more

In advanced disrepair, including booking room with visible mold...to switch to a room with a missing entry lock. Toilets not working in multiple rooms and water damage throughout. Staff was extremely polite and helpful however the condition is well well below brand standards, not to mention hazardous. read more

If you're staying in Long Beach and need a modest room at a reasonable rate, the Hotel CURRENT will do. It's not glamorous by any means, and the exterior gives major motel vibes. But the remodeled interior makes this a decent place to rest for the night. The pool and lobby are alluring and the proximity to the Long Beach Airport is quite convenient. read more

Worst Hotel EVER! My dad booked for this hotel and first thing when we got there My mom went to the lobby and staff was extremely rude. When we got to our room the floor was extremely dirty. And im not exaggerating. I mean dirty like dust, pet food, vomit, and hair! We went to the store and when we came back there was a HUGE worm. Most likely not coming back. Also not to forget the additional fees. read more

What's NOT current at Hotel Current We stayed here for the first time since it's near our kid's dorm and it received good reviews from other parents who've stayed for college events. I've seen it many times on our way to and from the campus and was hesitant but my wife makes all the arrangements and so I just keep my mouth shut. I was actually okay with Current but not at the current price we paid. Having a complementary breakfast and parking would've sealed the deal but instead a trip to Wallymart for bagels and McD's were necessary. "I" think the hotel was trying to make themselves seem more opulent than what it really is by making the bed high off the floor and the sink that sat at my belly button and almost shoulder height with my personal concierge wife. The mattress was actually comfy but the pillows were totally uncomfortable. Pillows were not full sized pillows but half a regular sized pillow so it was hard for me to sleep comfortably. I recommend bringing your own. They also placed these disgusting ugly stained pillow throws on the beds that were totally unnecessary! The AC unit was well past its useful hotel life and a newer unit that's quiet with an accurate thermostat would be nice. The little AC unit struggled to cool the room and it would just stop. I had to turn the power off and on just to get it working throughout our stay. The noise would drown out the tv and irritating trying to sleep. One good selling point is the bathroom and shower. Our room had two slider doors; one to separate the bathroom from the bed area and another that separated the sink from the commode / shower. The shower was very spacious with a rainwater shower head that worked well with sufficient water to wash off soap which were provided with dispensers of body wash and shampoo but no conditioner which wasn't a big deal for me but to some it may. My concierge didn't complain so it didn't bother her either. In my opinion, the room should've been priced less than the hotels closer to the airport which provides breakfast. My only real gripes were the parking fees and air conditioner but let's list what wasn't current at Hotel Current: 1) Air conditioner. Just replace them 2) Pillows and throw pillows. Just delete the pillow throws and provide full size ones that are comfy 3) Floors seemed to be clean but stained and dingy 4) Cabinets were also dingy and looked like an Earl Sheib paint job (who's earl sheib?) 5) Shower tile grout were either dingy or had areas with different colored grout. I didn't want to look too closely because if it didn't see it, it didn't exist 6) Lamps looked like they came from grandma's house and I'm in my 60s! 7) Door seals on our room needed to be replaced or installed because i could see daylight around the door 8) Bed frames. It was a slight struggle getting onto the bed. My short concierge wife had relive her childhood days by making a running somersault leap onto the mattress for which I gave her a score of 9.5. With all those outdated discrepancies, the best part of our stay were the staff. They were all delightful and I was greeted with a nice "Hola" our first morning . read more

I am utterly surprised that this hotel received such great ratings. While parking ($15/self park) was fine, the spots were narrow and there were many times lack of parking if you stayed out too late. However, my biggest issue were the cockroaches. Yes you heard me. In two different rooms, I have videos, photos, it was one of the most horrifying experiences I had ever had. Imagine going to the toilet, opening up the toilet and finding a 4 inch cockroach in it. That's INSANE. That's literally what happened. I tried flushing the toilet MULTIPLE times without avail. The management (not the actual managers, just the staff), tried to help by moving us into different rooms but the different rooms ALSO had the same issue. How can this hotel be operating still? What are their cleaning procedures? Forget covid, these roaches are very much alive! read more

I was actually very impressed with this place. It's clearly been remodeled and the rooms are really nice and stylish and new. It was very quiet upstairs and the bed was also very comfortable. They even Accommodated a late check out. I would definitely go back. read more

I booked this Hotel as it's close to a customer site in Long Beach. The photos of the room the rooms looked decent and price threw me a curve. Rooms looked remodeled which they were but it's one of the nosiest hotels I've stayed in. The price was also misleading as I believe in quality with price. In this case it did not equate to quality. Major factors for 1 star, there is WiFi but it does not work. Noisy! I can hear the road, parking lot, plumbing, ac was noisy and toilet leaks. So though it was remodeled, clearly it's for appearances. Paid parking but no security. So there is a $15 charge to park in their lot. In front of my room there was someone parked in front of my room and apparently sleep in their car. At around 4am when it woke me up when they started their car to warm it up and idle! Price. I've booked numerous other hotels for this price range that is much better overall. Actually cheaper hotels were better! Advise is to stay elsewhere! read more

We have stayed many times at the Current and liked it. Last night we stayed in Room 133 and believe it or not...at 10am a church service started! They were using a microphone, singing, applauding, praying loudly. I am a Christian so my comments have nothing to do with it being a church, but the woman at the front desk should have asked us if the noise would bother us - which it did because we were very tired. Or if you put a guest into this room give them a huge discount. Completely unacceptable and bizarre. read more

I've been using Hotel Current for about 3 years now. Their staff is simply the best! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Wayne is incredible! From event space to booking a room, Wayne gets it done! Clean amenities and many parking spaces. You can't go wrong with Hotel Current! read more

Very clean comfortable rooms. Attentive staff. Conveniently located. Reasonably priced.

This place tries to brand itself as being cool and hip but as others have said, there is nothing current about it. We checked in later in the evening and were shocked they also charge $15 for parking...in spaces that are basically large enough only for a Prius. The rooms are extremely outdated and random, such as the sink being elevated up to my chest. The pillows were the worst and seemed stuffed with cotton balls or something, so I recommend you bring your own. My room also had a conjoined door which I really despised considering I paid to have a single room. And these rooms were not cheap. The AC did not cool anything off despite being on the lowest setting all night and therefore, did not get any restful sleep. I give two stars only basically for the large bed that was surprisingly comfortable and the pool area with places to sit and cabanas and chairs. Be careful though!!--you might have to pay to rent those chairs because it's just so cool and hip ya know. Ha. read more

This has always been our go-to place. We have stayed there about 10 times. This was the first time after Covid. We did not read all the changes before booking. 1) The beds where 32" off the floor. My wife being 5' 4" this was not easy. They have a extra platform. 2) They now charge $15 PER NIGHT for parking. 3) They always great Free breakfast. A lot of hotel now have this. Theirs was always the best now it's gone. 4) We had booked a 3 day stay. On checking in we were told no Maid service unless we ask for it. 5) Staff other than the Lady that checked US out. The rest of the staff was not friendly. 6) Went for a snack from the snake machine. It only had a few waters Its so sad to see this once great place go down hill. read more

Complete trash. More like a hotel for sex workers. Drove up and first thing i see is several different men in various areas hanging outside their room doors or in parking lot smoking and just...watching. Prostitutes nearby. Place is very loosely a 'hotel' it is an old motel w new paint and a gussied up lobby. Looks NOTHING like photos. Tried to get refund from Hotels.com bc it feel unsafe but the hotel staff told both agents told no. They will keep a $180 of the payment. Like WTH?!! Went to the first room i was assigned and had to pass some dude hanging out his door smoking and when looked toward his open door it was obvious he was a long term guest despite hotel workers saying there wasn't any. Glad he didn't grab me and pull me in. The room i was given reeked of cigarettes. Moved to ground floor. I have traveled all over the world solo and I trust my instincts. Its sketchy, smells, rando dudes just hanging out in parking lot.... Nothing but a old pig with lipstick read more

It's an ok motel but you can tell they use to be a cheap motel and they just renovated the whole place and charge more bc of it. The best feature is the pool, the pool is awesome!!!! The rooms are clean and it's a nice location away from the city. read more

I stayed there last week since my house was being worked on for one night since I live near by I thought bi could stay at this hotel and I have stayed there before a while ago, checking in since they said I could get a better price on book it I did, as I was checking in the 2 ladies at the from desk were very bothersome helping me and with an attitude, not very friendly, It is sad to think that if you have to deal with the public you can not even smile or just be polite, read more

I'll start with the 1 compliment Great location. The Hotel Current has nothing that's current in it. I booked through Hotels.com because it was a pet friendly hotel. It's NOT a HOTEL!!! I had to pay a additional $50 for my pet, which was included in my online charge. Then I had to pay a additional $15 to park my car on their premises. So now my charge is $265 for a dump. The room door rubber is gone. I can literally bend over and see the ground outside. The carpet is so filthy it's sticky. The stairway smells like fermented urine. The people in the neighboring room keep slamming the door. Pounding on the connecting door, and arguing. 4 star it is not. Stay away and book else where it's definitely not worth the price or peace of mind and smell. read more

The name of this place is misleading itself, as is the 4 star rating of it. This establishment is a motel. The rooms are all outdoors, allowing anybody to just walk up and knock on the room, whether or not they have a reservation. Furthermore, the room needs to be fumigated. There were dozens of baby spiders inside the room. The air conditioner is loud and janky. There's no way you can sleep through it. All night could hear hundreds of cars driving down PCH even with window closed. Did not get restful sleep here whatsoever. Would not return here under any circumstances. The only pro was the king sized bed read more

We held a little event for friends and family at Hotel Current and everything couldn't have gone more smoothly. The staff was most helpful and made sure all our requests were met. We were able to get in the meeting room early to set up, which really helped. Our guests hadn't seen the property before and were very complimentary. The parking was plentiful and I know they were impressed. We would go back again. read more

A budget hotel in Long Beach. It's not bad, but it's not bougie either. We used this hotel to spend the night while out on the town in LBC. We didn't want to drive and wanted to find a dog friendly hotel as well. This hotel showed up on hotels.com The reason why I'm knocking down a point is because they charged me TWICE for my hotel room. Once through the app, and another one at the hotel. It's a good thing I double checked my bank statement to see if there were any unusual charges. Although I didn't get a chance to enjoy the amenities, they do have breakfast and a pool! read more

This hotel is super cute! We had to book a last minute room so I read the reviews and took a chance! Traveling with my two girls I wanted to make sure the place was decent. It's very beach feel- they have recently renovated and done a really great job! Staff is super nice, beds were comfortable and the shower was fantastic!! Lol Nice pool area and good food options nearby. Would definitely stay here again! read more

Set expectations to budget/reality. This place isn't a fancy hotel and I budget motel, it's in the middle. Some of the reviews I've seen are ridiculous if the standards are that high then pay more. Overall this is a good place for its value. The pool area is the best feature. There are multiple cabanas and shaded spots and we didn't experience any crowds. The guests that stay here did not seem sketchy. I saw multiple families and felt safe. Location is ideal. Not really walking distant. But relatively close by car. There were a few cosmetic issues with the room but nothing to drop a rating. My only issue was the floors and A/C. After the pool the floors were wet so I used the towel to dry it. It revealed how dirty the floor is. In perspective I'd take these floors over carpeted. At night with the A/C on you are either freezing to death or tossing and turning from the warmth and humidity. No great medium. Overall I liked this place and would recommend it. Just set the expectations accordingly as a value hotel. read more

I used to stay here like 4-5 years ago when I used to go for work at the CSU offices in LB. I was at work for most of the day and just came to the hotel to sleep. So didn't pay much attention to the hotel here. However, even then I noticed some of the issues that others have noted here (shabby-looking buildings, unclean rooms, cigarette butts everywhere, parking lot being always full). However, the biggest issue was the staff not only seemed incompetent but quite rude, especially when you compare it to other hotels around here (such as Golden Sails). After a few negative incidents, I started booking other hotels in the area instead of the Current. Many years later, as I was booking hotels for the first week of January LA, I decided to give this place a try. Booked through booking.com. The room was going to be "decided at check-in." However, in the notes section on booking.com I simply wrote, "if you can please ensure that I get two beds/instead of one, that would be greatly appreciated." Well, a few hours later I got FOUR hostile emails back to back from the staff here. Basically telling me that I should have booked at a "higher rate" if I wanted to make requests about the room. Even if this was the case, there is a way to say this to the customer. What really angered me was that there were four emails, written in the tone of an entitled, ex-GF. I see that the staff here have still not learned any manners. So I canceled my booking and booked with another hotel nearby. This place needs a real overhaul. read more

Do not trust this hotel with your business. When I tried to use a gift certificate with the hotel, they disputed the value of the gift certificate and told me that it was not valid because of how long ago it was issued. Despite the fact that it is illegal for gift certificates to expire in California and there is not expiration date written on the certificate, they said that my certificate is expired. I worked with Wayne who was friendly enough, but at the end of the day unwilling to stand behind certificates that were issued by his company. Wayne offered me $100 towards a room since he felt that was fair for the price of the rooms when the certificate was issued. Even though the certificate was older, I know that rooms at this hotel were not going for $50 a night in 2017. Very unfortunate experience and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. read more

Stayed here 1 night. We did a late checking and early 6am checkout as we only needed to sleep the night. I don't recommend this place. Don't let the nice lobby fool ya. The adjacent room was extremely loud all night. People running, jumping all night. Constant car alarms going off in the parking lot waking us up. When we opened the bathroom window a strong Marijuana smell was coming in from upstairs. read more

It is a nice hotel and the rooms are super accessible. The place was clean and they have a variety of channels on the television. It was a bit difficult sleeping since it was easy to hear the people on the second floor. The matress also kept sliding away when I was sitting on the bed. But overall the quality of the place is good read more

I stayed here mostly for my daughter's volleyball camp at CSULB (5 mins away). After doing much research, I viewed a lot of positive feedback so decided to book. It's a cute hotel, nicely decorated and specious rooms. The staff is pleasant and informative. The pros: 1. Comfortable bed. 2. Nice bathroom with rain shower head and modern sink. 3. Spacious room. 4. Keurig coffee maker. The cons: 1. It's located on busy Pacific Coast Hwy, so its loud. 2. Parking can be difficult (near your room) because there are no assigned areas. Basically anyone can park there, including guests. 3. The pull out bed mattress was uncomfortable and dirty. 4. Many of the outlet plugs did not work and none were placed near the bed. I probably won't stay again. read more

Honestly, F$)@ these yelp reviews with one star! This place was awesome. Great customer service multiple times by multiple people for my questions and checking in/out. Gorgeous clean and uncrowded pool. Very quiet even though the parking lot was pretty full. Great hotel. Nice rooms too. Thanks again. read more

We started using this Current Hotel when our daughter started college at CSULB four years ago. The first year it was really nice ... it had a great breakfast ... and a beautiful pool. The next year it was still pretty darn good. Then the third year owners changed and you could see the hotel starting to go downhill. The breakfast was taken away. They started charging for parking which they have an abundant amount of parking spots. The service and the quality and the cleanliness went downhill rapidly. Now the fourth year and it is absolutely disgusting. I highly recommend you DO NOT use this dirty hotel. Do not be fooled by their pictures. Here are the pictures of the moldy smelling dirty room that we stayed at this week April 2022. The air con reeked of mold as well as the bathroom. read more
