Searle Motel

I put one star because this won’t allow me to put 0 stars as a review. My pregnant girlfriend and I were looking around for an affordable hotel to stay at while in long beach and we came across this one. I failed to read the internet reviews until after I saw the place. As soon as we saw the outside, there was no way in hell we were going to go inside. The place looked extremely shady, there were people loitering, and even a lady that looked to be a prostitute. My girlfriend felt very uncomfortable and I did too. We then read the reviews and were glad we didn’t stay. We booked another hotel right away for an even better deal. Word of advice: read reviews before you book the hotel.

Was happy to find a place under $ 100 on Memorial Weekend with vacancy without advance reservations. But, it is not very clean. Thank goodness the floors aren’t carpeted, because I am sure they would be very crusty. The walls are dirty. Hairs all over bathroom floor. I’m trying not to look much deeper so I can sleep tonight. Oh, and almost forgot to mention that when we rang the bell to check in at the window (that’s right, window… no lobby) we were greated by a shirtless hairy man.

I thank god this place was available when my friend needed a cheap place to stay for the weekend however, this place is the definition of a roach motel. The carpet and walls are filthy and the bathroom was covered in mold. U can hear entire conversations thru the walls and there are roaches crawling on the floor at night! If that’s not bad enough u can see the electrical flames on the wall

Really? 5 star review from“Unknown G”? Another 5 star review from «Nikunj» a day later? Those are obviously fake lol, this is DEFINITELY NOT A 5 STAR WORTHY MOTEL! Not even close. Clean? Nope! The room is not even as big as a motel 6 room, the walls, bathtub, shower curtains, bed sheets all are stained and dirty. The toilet is not even secured to the floor and I almost fell off. I slipped in the shower because it was so greasy and severely hurt my already sprained knee. My boyfriend is deaf and couldn’t hear me screaming in pain, if I were an old lady idk if I could’ve gotten up, everything is slippery. When I finally got up, I fell again because the towel rack isn’t secured either lol. My knee ended up swelling and put a damper on our valentines day plans. I really wish we had booked somewhere else early, we only ended up here because literally everywhere else under $ 100 was booked on valentines day lol, I’m very happy to be leaving for another room today. There ended up being a couple of roaches, one in the shower and then later on the floor, and then another one on me in the middle of the night! Who later came back to say hello two more times trying to be in bed with us. I couldn’t sleep and my boyfriend felt so bad, not a good valentines experience, or motel experience in general. Ok, yes there is a mini fridge, complimentary water bottle, and flat screen, but so what? ROACHES. Do not waste your money staying here, ridiculously tight parking, dirty, small, death trap, uncomfortable bed, infested motel!

do not give your credit card number to this motel. we booked it online and when we arrived we were told that they had given our room away and that it wasn’t available.
we had until 12 AM to show up and this was 6:30 PM.
then, after we had left the motel, at 6:45 PM, they billed our credit card for the room based on a false claim that we were a no-​show.
we didn’t have a chance to see the room but there were a number of relatively sleazy people milling about in the parking area.
I’ve stayed in three other motels in the greater LA area and this definitely is the worst one that I’ve encountered.
this motel was on the border of Compton and Long Beach, and there are other motels that are the same price or only a little bit more that are much much better in the same area.

I stayed here for two days. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and conveniently close for freeways. You do not have to spend a lot of money to get a nice clean room. I would stay at this motel again.

It’s wonderful place to stay. They provide refrigerator, 32 LCD tv with more then 100 channels, free wi-​fi, free ice, iron with board, hair dryer, water bottle. This place is very quite and stuff is very helpful… all this u get in $ 45 per night. i loved it. For sure i m going back there…
