We loved the ability to bring our dog, and the proximity to the beach and main shopping in Long Beach is awesome. Unfortunately, we heard every little noise in the lobby (ice machine, people coming in and out, walking to their rooms, etc...), we heard our neighbors conversations, shower, and television through the walls, no ability to control room temperature, and the electric fireplace made such a racket we turned it off. Even the coded lock to get into the room was loud!
