The Varden - A Self-Service Micro Hotel

Super zentral, unweit von allem in Downtown Long Beach entfernt. Größe total in Ordnung, etwas hellhörig. Das hat man aber in fast allen Hotels in LA in diesem Preis Segment.

Checkin war etwas kompliziert, da ich übersehen habe, online einzuchecken. Hat dann etwas gedauert bis ich Zugangscodes erhalten habe.

Great location that made it a nice walk to the convention center. Near lots of restaurants and the metro

Was very worth it; but good to note no elevator, a little tricky to figure out where room was,

It is well distributed, and it is somewhat new.

Too much light from the street in the mornings.

Honestly, I wouldn't stay here again. For over $200 a night, it's just a basic hotel, and "micro" doesn't even cut it – it's more like a "nano" hotel. First off, if you don't get a ground-floor room, you're lugging your bags up flights of stairs because there's no elevator. The pictures make the bed against the wall look okay, but if you're sharing it with another person, it's a real pain to get in and out when you have to climb over another person or crawl to the end. Plus, there's no view at all. The bathroom is tiny; you can practically use the toilet, shower, and sink all at once. The toilet is super low, and if you're average height or bigger, your knees will hit the cabinet. There's no toilet paper holder, so it just sits on the cabinet, it was not a new roll and was probably touched by guest before me. The same goes for the unwrapped coffee pods. On the bright side, Greta and Daniel, who handle phone and email support, are both really helpful and friendly.
