When traveling throughout California, you’ll want to find high-quality lodging to make the most of your trip. Long Beach hotels can be exciting or relaxing. Even luxury-level digs are affordable when you book through the right service. Consider these features when deciding where to book a hotel room.
Free Parking
Parking costs aren’t always considered when planning a vacation, but they can add $20 or more to the nightly cost of Long Beach hotels. This is especially true for properties with specialty services like valet parking. However, the opposite is also true. Certain properties offer free parking for traditional cars, along with RVs, large trucks and buses, and free charging for electronic or hybrid vehicles.
Free Wi-Fi
Internet charges can be costly. You can’t always count on a friendly stranger providing a hotspot from their room. Staying at a hotel with free Wi-Fi ensures you’ll be able to upload and download files as needed, conduct work away from the office and keep in touch with people back home. Over the Internet, you can also use phone services to save yourself from hefty telephone bills.
Free Breakfast & Happy Hour
Holiday hotels often go beyond the typical free breakfasts offered by value business lodging and offer free drinks and snacks a few nights each week. These can also be combined with on-site entertainment, and are a wonderful start to any night on the town. Though seemingly a small feature, these freebie features can save a significant amount.
Indoor/Outdoor Pool & Hot Tub
Booking Long Beach hotels with pools can be tricky. Many properties have an indoor or outdoor facility, not both. Considering the weather during your trip, this could have a major impact on how much you enjoy your stay. The important thing is not to assume your hotel has one type of pool over another. Make sure you check. If this is a really important feature to someone in your party, it makes sense to go the extra mile and make sure the pool will be open during your trip.
Spa Services
Several Long Beach hotels offer luxury features like massages, facial treatments and pedicures. If you’re traveling for the sake of escaping the daily drudge and truly relaxing, spa services can be a decadent addition to your trip. Just make sure you keep an eye on cost. Spa treatments can wind up adding a significant amount to your expenses.
