“This micro-hotel impressed me with its blend of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and contemporary updates like mini rain showers; the location, near my favorite donut shop and the metro, is ideal for exploring Long Beach. I especially appreciate the historic building's dedication to energy efficiency with its airshafts; it is the kind of hotel where you can feel at home in a new city.”
