We were welcomed by the mother and daughter duo who made sure our stay was met to the Tea! Pat and Courtney offered us their generous hospitality. The home had such a homey feel to it that both my boyfriend and I immediately felt so relaxed when we stepped in. It is located in the heart of Long Beach so we were able to do so much during our short trip. The best part is that it was super close to one of my favorite views of the 3 major cities in SoCal (Hilltop Park). If you are traveling to SoCal and need a place to stay, I highly recommend this place if you are looking to relax during your vacation.

A pleasant surprise!…read more A friend and I booked this hotel for the nearby Day Trip Festival for a single night. It is just a quick 10-15 minute drive to the Queen Mary Waterfront where the festival was held. The outside of this hotel looks a bit sketchy to be quite frank. It is a motel-style hotel, with outside-facing doors and only two floors. Don't let this scare you though. The interior was actually very nice and left me impressed. When we went to check in, we noticed a good amount of parking spots available at the front. There was also a cute little seating area surrounded by bamboo. The lobby was super clean and bright. There is a lot of seating available and a nice view of the pool. The pool is quite large and has some lounge area around it too. The workers at the front desk were super friendly. Check-in was a breeze and very quick. We retrieved our parking slip and left it in the car for overnight parking. We walked up the stairs and were very surprised when we got to our room. The room was huge. There was a ton of walking space around the bed which was fantastic. I was also not expecting there to be a balcony so that was a fun touch. There wasn't any furniture on the balcony but it was nice to stand on and get some fresh air. The decor and bedding was super cute. I'm glad there was a little mini fridge available too. The bathroom was also very spacious with a large shower. I liked the little stool in there and the attention to detail they paid with folding the towels and tissues. The AC blasted super cold which was great for the SoCal heat. Some of the amenities were dated like the AC unit itself and the TV, but is super understandable considering the type of hotel it is. The next morning, we called and were granted a courtesy late check-out! However, at 11:00am sharp, housekeeping knocked on the door to clean. We had to let them know that we had a late check-out. It was not a big deal but just a little annoying because we were expecting to sleep in a little longer. Overall, this was a very satisfying stay. The first impression was a little rough but it ended up being a great stay that exceeded my expectations.

It's a couple who runs the place, and both of them are awesome. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. If you go there, request the "guest room" - super comfy bed and plenty of space for your luggage. Comes with its own private bathroom, too. The #1 best part is the pool area. Great sized pool and spa. They keep it heated during the summer months, so it stays around 80-82 degrees. You can jump right in. There's also a spa with jets. That weekend, they had a ping pong table, so it was super fun challenging other guests to games. The landscaping is beautiful: palms, olive tree, roses, and a young plumeria that had a perfect smelling bloom. The #2 best part is the food. They know how to feed their guests! Saturday morning breakfast was eggs, boiled peanuts, and potatoes. We had late lunch/early dinner: Chicken, pulled pork (at just the right temperature), chow mein, and tons of fresh fruit. Dessert was cookies, and one of the guests brought cheesecakes from 85 degrees, so that was awesome. We basically hung out by the pool all day. It was a super fun stay and we can't wait to go back. The owners do a great job of making you feel welcome and at home. If you get lucky, the guy will show you his wine cellar and game room (if you're into games). Definitely recommended for couples who want a pool vacation. Not much privacy by the pool, but if your fellow guests are as cool as the ones we were with, it will feel like a pool party with friends.

The employees were every friendly and their attention your detail is great. The hotel is great for being a 93 year ship. Only thing I can say that was never was the bed in the room. Mattress was horrible. They really need to replace or change out the mattress. Other than this, the stay was excellent. They did have a concert the weekend of my stay so they had to accommodate parking. But they did this very well.

This gave them the opportunity to let us know there was a concert in the parking lot area and you would have to park a mile away and shuttle to the hotel/ship. Of course, there are no signs to indicate the alternative parking area, just an address that takes you to another hotel. Finally for the parking area and then had to wait for the shuttle. No baggage carrying options, carts, etc., other than your own appendages. When we explained our displeasure about the parking to the fount desk, Emma decided to make it our fault. If we had not booked through a 3rd party, Expedia, we would have been informed of the issue. See the first sentence above. We also had tickets to the tour, but, since they were having a concert, they were not doing the tours.... But, they would resume tomorrow at 1000 (10 AM for this that don't know military time). We are flying. Back home tomorrow and are meeting more family for brunch in the morning. So, we have vouchers for the tour that we may or may not use now. After eventually finding our room, which are not well marked, we decided to explore. We walked around the outside of the Promenade deck and enjoyed the views. We decided to stop at the bar for a libation. After being ignored at the bar after 5 minutes, even though there were two bar tenders working right in front of us, we left. We then went to the cafe to give it one more shot. The staff there were friendly, responsive and great! The ones we've encountered so far on this ship. So, don't go here if you want to park nearby as the concert venue appears to be a permanent fixture in the parking lot and you will be charged to valet your car and park a mile away. You may or not get service at any of the places on the ship. You may or may not be treated like you actually paid to visit instead of an inconvenience. You may or may not encounter an employee who recognizes they screwed up and should do something about it. If this is normal for the staff, then the management sucks and should be replaced. If it is unusual for this to happen, then the staff need to be trained better and the management should still be replaced for putting them in this position. In short, spend your money elsewhere, somewhere they will appreciate you as a customer.

All of the rooms are on the second and third floor, as the hotel, except for the reception area, is built over the parking lot. It's kind of a combined indoor outdoor place, because the center is open air and then you walk into hallways. The pool and hot tub are on the second floor and the breakfast room is on the third floor. One of the best things about this place was the location, just around the corner from Main Street Seal Beach where we tend to spend a lot of time. Oh, and the chocolate chip cookies they put out in the evening is a great touch. The entire hotel is blue and white themed, which seems pretty common for Beach area hotel/motels. I really liked that there was a very long desk/counter along one wall, which we never get when we stay and our normal Hiltons. There was so much room for everything. We had an Arcadia door with a balcony that had two chairs and a table. The weather was perfect for sitting out. The fridge in the room was really cold. The beds were super comfortable. With breakfast is basic but fine. Each morning they had a hot egg dish, a potato dish, and a meat dish. It was also the waffle maker with batter, muffins, bread, bagels, cold cereal with milk, boiled eggs, and yogurt. One morning they had a full of perfectly ripe avocados for your toast. Of course there's juice and coffee. One nice touch is that they had plastic to-go containers so you can take food up to your room. You had a very enjoyable stay here, and when we want to stay in Seal Beach again we will come back here. It has received the TripAdvisor Travelers Choice Award winner and is a Yelp favorite.
