Tom was very friendly to meet. I only stayed a night, so I didn't talk with him past the initial greeting. However, he is very generous! The room was clean and prepared. Had a stocked mini fridge, a Keurig, plenty of snacks, and he even provided soaps, shampoos and towels. The neighborhood seemed quiet as well. If you are looking to stay in Long Beach or are just looking for a nice place to stay in Cali without paying hotel prices, I definitely would recommend staying here!
