PORTSIDE INN & SUITES, Los Angeles

The hotel sits directly across from the waterfront and the LA Maritime Museum, placing it within a 5-minute walk of the USS Iowa Battleship and just 1 km from the Port of Los Angeles cruise terminal and World Cruise Center. Long Beach Airport is a 20-minute drive, and the Korean Friendship Bell is 5 km away. Numerous restaurants-including Blu Restaurant, The Whale & Ale, and Baramee Thai Restaurant-are within a 0.5 km radius, along with a popular cafe next door. The area is walkable and safe for exploring, with easy access to the waterfront boardwalk. Street traffic noise can be noticeable in front-facing rooms, so rooms facing the water or away from the road are quieter.

The hotel offers double rooms (1 queen bed) and quadruple rooms (2 beds), all featuring air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a seating area with a table and chairs. A microwave, small fridge, and coffee-making facilities are standard. Three rooms include a private hot tub. The bathrooms have showers and tubs; some rooms have shared bathrooms. The property is older and many rooms show signs of wear-dated furnishings, worn carpets, and stained walls-but the beds are generally clean and comfortable. Rooms facing the street experience traffic noise, while waterfront rooms offer views of the port. No rooms have balconies. The carpet in hallways and some rooms is heavily worn. Request a room away from the road or a recently refreshed unit if possible. The rooms are spacious by modern standards, and some have been freshly painted.

The hotel does not have a restaurant or provide breakfast. A snack bar and vending machines are available for basic items. Coffee is not offered in the rooms or lobby. Several restaurants are within a short walk, including Blu Restaurant, Godmother's, The Whale & Ale, Pappy's Seafood, La Buvette Wine Bistro, Baramee Thai Restaurant, and Happy Diner. A well-regarded cafe is located two doors away for breakfast. Numerous dining choices are accessible within a 0.5 km radius along the waterfront.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. Private on-site parking costs $10 per day and does not require a reservation. A 24-hour front desk provides assistance, luggage storage, and an ATM/cash machine.
