2 days at a meeting with beautiful weather in Long Beach. 20 degrees centigrade and sunny. Hotel rooms were modern minimalist. The pool was outdoors and good for lying around. Gym was adequate as there were better running tracks outdoors around the hotel. Hotel next to convention center. So the place to stay if you're meeting there. The cable tv was good and working so managed to keep entertained when in the room. Hotel service was good. Staff were friendly & helpful. Gave me xtra paper cups for coffee. The computers in the lobby worked & we were able to print our boarding passes. Free wifi. Hotel 7 minutes from El supermarket which sells local produce. 99 cents for large packages of tostadas. Missed out on conference pricing so paid almost double the rate at around four hundred & fifty USA dollars per night. It was worth it for the convenience and location plus the great views from my hotel room. For some reason I didn't qualify for the special shuttle rate of $20 to LAX with Karmel shuttle arrangements. Despite paying $40 one way or $80 return (or $100 including tips) was still a great deal for the convenience. One tip get to LAX early - really long security queues.
