Long Beach Hoteller i Downtown/Lower Westside

the staff at the Varden is absolutely incredible. The owner is almost always present, and the staff clearly follows his approach to making guests feel welcome - friendly, full service, helpful. They generally work hard to exceed every expectations. Whether offering a bottle of water, asking how things are going, or helping with printing boarding passes and finding a good restaurant, they make you feel welcome, and ensure that your trip goes smoothly - great service, great renovation of an old hotel, unique property, and close to everything you need (wonderful and diverse cuisine, convention center, big box stores, if needed, etc.) There is nothing to not like!!!

Excellent - I coulde not fault the Hotel - Hope to visit again next year!

I have never had better service from any hotel even as a Platinum or Diamond Member of the big chains. The staff made my stay at the Varden nothing less than a pleasure.

The best service ever from wonderful staff who really make me feel like a guest instead of a paying customer. That combined with a perfect location for Long Beach make the Varden a great choice. The rooms were a bit small and the window looked onto a brick wall.

One block from transit, two blocks from food. Staff was awesome Shower was only thing that was a little too tight of a squeeze.

Shuttle service

Every thing was Great..Nice Rooms..Comfortable Beds..Staff were Amazing Resturant at the Hotel closed Early@10:00 Pm that sucks. Need More help in the Resturant area..Only 1 Person working all Bar for them.... I wanted to Jump in and Help LoL...

Stayed in a double for New Year's Eve. Upon check in the woman at the front desk was very friendly and quick with the check in as well as helpful by letting us know about the free shuttle that would take us to Pine Ave for NYE! Loved that the hotel provided this!! The room was clean and had plenty of mirrors and outlets which was good when there are 3 girls trying to get NYE ready. Very happy parking was also provided. Though we didn't use it, room had a microwave which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise.

Very nice people, close-enough to the Aquarium, etc., parking right in front of the room. Little fridge, microwave, hair dryer. Definitely adequate for our needs. The kid got a kick out of the black light painting on the ceiling. Bed was a little hard, not awful. Could've used a couple extra pillows and the soap is very tiny.

The ceilings are a special artistic treat! Simply amazing It's not in an area you wanna stay but it's close to where you wanna go!

The room was clean and comfortable. Large screen,plenty of room, good internet. The wood floors better than carpet. The ceiling was painted with a mural which gave the room character. This was as good a 2 star that I have seen, and better than some 3's. The towels were not smooth, but rather rough; definitely need softner.

The hotel is conveniently located and fairly well kept. The room had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a hairdryer. There was also a bathtub, not just a shower. There was also a little table and chairs. Parking was free and fast food and gas is nearby. The area of town isn't great, but it's okay. We felt safe enough. The walls are a little thin, but not too bad. The bedding was just the sheets and the bedspread - though we probably could have got a blanket if we asked. The heater was loud, but worked.

Super friendly staff and extremely clean rooms. Will definitely stay there again. Loved having the microwave and refrigerator in the room. Also it was very conveniently located :-) Beds were a little hard and just a few noisy neighbors, the walls are kinda thin.

Clean, good location
