The Spotlight on Aqua Venture Inn

Affordable Comfort Close to the Action in Long Beach

Modern convenience meets value at Aqua Venture Inn, a budget-friendly motel-style stay just minutes from the heart of Long Beach. Located along Pacific Coast Highway, it puts you close to key attractions like the historic Queen Mary and the vibrant downtown area. This no-frills option offers a simple, clean place to rest your head after a night out, with the bonus of free HBO channels to wind down post-show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive or ride-share away from downtown Long Beach’s top venues, making it easy to catch your favorite artist without the hassle of long commutes. With check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility for most late-night returns. Guests appreciate the relatively quiet surroundings for a budget hotel, meaning you can actually recover after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a wallet-friendly base near the city action
- Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
- Couples planning a low-key weekend getaway
- Fans who need a quiet, no-fuss place to relax after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, you’ll find a handful of casual eateries and late-night fast-food spots within walking distance. It’s a solid pick if you’re happy to explore local diners or grab takeout after the encore. Since there’s no breakfast service, you might want to plan ahead for that morning-after meal.

Nightlife Options

Head just a few minutes into downtown Long Beach for live music venues, bars, and lounges. From energetic clubs to cozy spots serving local craft brews, there’s something for every vibe. Though the hotel doesn’t have its own bar, its location makes it easy to find the post-show scene you’re looking for.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor say Aqua Venture Inn is a solid budget stay with clean rooms and friendly service. Many praise its location’s convenience for getting around Long Beach, and note that the rooms are surprisingly quiet despite being close to a main road. Travelers also appreciate the availability of essentials like an iron and ironing board on request.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel could use some updates, and some guests mention that the décor feels a bit dated. There’s no on-site breakfast or restaurant, so you'll need to venture out for meals. Still, for the price and location, most guests find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Aqua Venture Inn is a simple, affordable choice for concert-goers who want to stay near downtown Long Beach without blowing their budget.

Nice for the Price

Liked: This is a nice, clean, older motel that has apparently had some work done recently. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. There is also a Salvadoran restaurant across the street with good food.
Disliked: They do offer free coffee in the front desk area; but, for the room rate they charge, it would have been good to have a coffee machine in the room.

Very poor

Disliked: The place was very dirty and rundown to be so honest. The first room we got put in had hair and other gunk in the bed that made it so that we asked for another room. While the second room was slightly cleaner (as in no hair on the bed or pillows), it still felt just barely clean enough to stay the night. There was a smell to both rooms that lingered in the clothing we slept in after we left and made me feel slightly sick. We ended up putting our sweatshirts over the pillows because we didn't have enough confidence in their cleanliness to sleep on them alone. Everything was very well worn and clearly stained in the bathroom, with scratched and marks all over the floors. We knew we were paying for a cheaper place to stay but it was worse than we expected. The staff was nice, if not a little strange, but still nice, they moved our rooms no problem but the cleanliness of the place was not great. We would not stay again and I do not think we will be recommending this to anyone.

Good

Liked: The location was good, check in and out was fast and effortless. Did not have to wait to get into my room. For the most part the rooms were clean. The first room was clean, but did have roaches. The second room was better, and I did not see any critters.
Disliked: Night one the room I was given had roaches.

Overnight stay

Liked: Location. I personally didn't hear a lot of traffic/street noise but not a big deal anywayGood place to stay overnight or short stay honestly
Disliked: Empty space. Add a couch, table, seating area it's just wasted space that could've had an area to hang jackets or something just nothing but bed and toilet. In shower it gets wet I believe once shower comes on the ceiling gets wet I think.
