Hotel: The Varden Hotel Long Beach, California
I arrived at the hotel around 20 minutes before check-in opened.
Immediately I was greeted by the hotel receptionist who said he would have me checked in quickly, boy was he quick! He was very helpful, friendly and immediately put me at ease since I really had no idea about this hotel. It had been a last minute booking made about 2 hours before I arrived there.
As I was being checked in, he told me how they had snacks available in the lounge area all day as well as wine tasting from 5-7pm. How fantastic! I didn’t get a chance to enjoy this, but the hotel lounge area was very welcoming and I would definitely book the hotel and attend again when I’m back in the Long Beach area.
The room itself was very nice and smelt lovely. There was a funky modern glass desk with a nice size TV above it, a small but very comfy Full size bed. I had no view out of my window, it overlooked a wall which I could probably have touched had I opened the window :p.
The bathroom was quite small, tiled all the way round and felt very clean. The shower head was clean too and they had little bamboo infused toiletries.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again in the future.
