Nice place

Beautiful California Tower motel great hosts with the most love thank you Tower motel

I stayed for two nights and would have been happy to stay for many more. This hotel is about 100 years old, judging by the trim, but totally renovated. It is a beautiful building and tastefully decorated. It cost a bit more than a motel, but is definitely worth it. The room was simply delightful. There is a nice little kitchen with a dinette for two, the bath is great, there was even a large walk-in closet, a desk and chair. The bed was comfortable. The heat pump worked well, and this was important as we were having a very cold spell. The neighborhood is great. It is a quite convenient location. There is for example a Vons a block away. They use the Marriot parking garage, which is a block away and costs $15 per night. The lot is secured with a gate and pass card 24/7 and there is a security officer too, so your vehicle should be well-protected. It is only three blocks to the beach. There are several good restaurants within 1-3 blocks. The building itself was quiet. I only saw one person while I was there. I did hear people talking (and yelling) on the streets throughout the night but they didn't bother me. There is, however, a headshop on the first floor that was playing Sixties acid rock throughout the day. The only complaint I have is lack of parking. There are two 24 minute spaces out front for loading and unloading, but anyone can use them, not just guests. When I arrived they were taken, and for a long period of time so I used a loading zone and hoped for the best,.

The property (from the marketing info, is supposed to be a ~100 year old hotel) has the feel of an old-style downtown hotel, unlike the typical roadside hotel/motel which is common today. A few days prior to check-in, I attempted to contact the hotel to confirm my reservation, however there was nobody answering the phone; however, they do respond to text messages. The day you check in, they send you a text message with a link for a form to fill out prior to arrival. However, upon arrival (which was late at night), the desk clerk at check-in was very welcoming and helpful, as were all the desk clerks I interacted with throughout my stay. The room I had (called a full bed studio), was definitely small (compared to modern hotels), however for the price considering the location, was definitely adequate. The room had a microfridge and all the coffee condiments, but surprisingly no coffeemaker. Also, there was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom (besides a bottle of hand soap next to the sink). Housekeeping came to service the room at one point in the stay, something not very common post-COVID. The property is located close to downtown Long Beach, within walking distance of the beach as well as many of the shops and clubs on Broadway. Parking is an additional $18/night, and is in a parking area connected to the alleyway next to the property.

Was supposed to stay at Hotel Main in Dec. 2023 but was taken ill and requested a credit. They agreed to credit me 50% usable within 6 months so in May 2024 I emailed to let them know I'd like to use my credit in June. They immediately re-booked me for a one night stay. Everything went smoothly, check in was a breeze, on-site parking was easy and inexpensive, and the staff were very professional. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, hotel is super clean and looked like each room had a balcony. We even enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and spa on the 2nd level. It's conveniently located in downtown close to numerous attractions and restaurants, we were able to walk around the corner to the Broken Spirits Distillery for an amazing dinner and walk back to the hotel. Highly recommend this hotel and all the wonderful staff we interacted with!
