If you are high maintenance, this may not be the hotel for you. Because the hotel is an older building, you may be missing some modern amenities such as AC. However, if you are a savvy traveler, this hotel is like hitting the jackpot.
The staff bent over backwards to make my stay enjoyable. Giving me tips for to understand the location better, helping me carry my heavy equipment in and out of the room, and even going as far as to wander the streets of Long Beach to help find special parking for my vehicle.
Communication was top notch. Cleanliness was second to none. Guest safety was important. Guest satisfaction was a priority.
My co-workers stayed at a similar establishment with similar amenities and paid double. They got none of the attention I received and their location was far away the event, where as the Greenleaf was walking distance from the beach.
So go ahead and pay double or maybe even triple. Me? I'm gonna take a nice cool shower before bed and sleep like a baby at the Greenleaf. Now I got money to enjoy LA, and peace of mind knowing I have a hotel that actually cares appreciates me as a customer.
