We live in Tennesse and wanted to visit Long Beach for our son's 40th birthday. We usually stay with him in his small apartment, but he now works from home and there was not room for us! We needed a place to stay that was close to his apartment but nice and safe. We found that place at the Metropolitan Hotel. I want to thank Tracy, the hotel manager, for being so helpful when booking our room and making our stay just great! She was always available and ready to help with anything we needed. I recommend this hotel as good value and convient place to stay while in LB.
