Quality Inn Long Beach - Signal Hill

We always stay at Quality Inn when we are in the Long Beach area. We also leave our car there while we are on a cruise and take the shuttle to and from the cruise terminal.

I arrived very late, told them in advance, and had requested a top floor room - and got it. This place is basic, safe, with good off-street parking with a pizza joint next door and an Asian restaurant across the street. LBX airport and Hilltop Park are close by. (Hilltop Park gives good views of Long Beach harbor but the Queen Mary is hidden behind skyscrapers.) Free breakfast included.

The breakfast in the morning was so good. It was simple and basic, but something about those eggs and sausage was great. The TV had plenty of channels. The location was good, only a 10 min drive to DTLB. The hardwood floors in the room were nice. As soon as we walked into our room, it smelled like peppermint, which I enjoyed. The shower had shampoo and conditioner, and I actually liked how it was in a dispenser and not those tiny travel bottles. There was a small pool but we were mainly sightseeing so we didn't go swimming but it was there. Every lamp had plugs for a wall outlet and a USB, the clock radio and outlets as well.

I found it to be quiet and very comfortable. I was glad to see there was no carpet in the room, and the bathroom was obviously cleaned. The towels were soft and breakfast was surprisingly good. The only thing missing was half and half for the coffee, which was temporary as they had run out and expected it later that day. The staff was very warm and friendly.

Everything was clean and I felt safe. The staff was pleasant and helpful with our luggage and room location.
