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.

Made me feel small, discriminated...

Liked: The parking lot was spacious
Disliked: I'm a very patient, calm, gentle person. Walking in the lobby and being met with a woman sizing me up from head to toe, looking disgusted, and then turning her back on me, shortly after opening a door and letting it slam in my face, that was surprising. Immediately following, the person checking guests in didn't even attempt to hide what I perceived, believed, and felt as racial bias aka racism. I was told I needed to go across the street and get $100 cash, on top of what I already paid, in order to stay. On my way out, I asked a white person staying there if they had to do that... I was told no. The entire ethos and vibe of their communication with me made it very clear they perceived me as a threat, and that is not only traumatizing but morally and legally wrong.

Never again!

Liked: Location from family
Disliked: The place was not like what it shows online . The bathroom was the worse it had brown rust in the tubs . I tried 3 rooms and the last one had the lease rust but still nasty . The room had a smell to it . It was so quiet during the day but at night it was so lively. The people played loud music, doors slamming all night back and forth then one night around 4am someone came and knocked on my door I was scared so I contacted the office staff and he just asked what room I was in and hung up . I couldn’t sleep after that . I would not recommend this place to anyone . I wasted $400 for 3 nights .
