Location, location, location. The Broadlind hotel is in a great walkable area of Long Beach surrounded by great restaurants, coffee shops, the beach, shopping, bars, etc. I stayed in two separate rooms during my stay at Broadlind. Rooms that face the street are filled with light but a bit noisy because the windows/building are an old art deco style. I didn't mind, but I can see how light sleepers can. Rooms that are much quieter but are dark and don't have great air flow. The self check in feature was easy and painless. I liked not having a key to be responsible for and if I ever forgot the passcode, I could always access it from my phone or the Airbnb app. Overall a great place to stay in Long Beach if you can get a reasonable rate.
