I had an event at the Long Beach Convention Center (LBCC). This place is about a 10-15 min walk away and hence very convenient. I did have a car and indeed street parking is a bit tough, I was able to find something driving around for about 5-10 minutes. This place is a cozy studio with a comfortable bed.
It was early November and it got a bit chilly in the evenings. The host was quick in responding and the floor heater was activated. The place is on the first floor but it's quiet and no street noise. I really enjoyed the convenience of the location.
