The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Hotel At The Convention Center

Central Comfort Steps from the Long Beach Scene

Modern, comfortable, and conveniently located, the Best Western Plus Hotel At The Convention Center puts you right in the heart of Long Beach. Just a quick walk from the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center and a short ride to the Queen Mary, this hotel is a smart choice for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.
With stylish rooms, an indoor pool, and a 24-hour fitness center, it's a great spot to rest and recharge between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. You're just half a mile from the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center—perfect for walking to concerts and avoiding the parking hassle. Despite being in a lively area, rooms are surprisingly quiet and peaceful, so you can rest easy after the encore. With a 24-hour front desk and check-in starting at 3:00 PM, it's easy to come and go on your own schedule. Plus, the nearby public transit options make getting around late at night a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • Couples making a weekend escape of the event
  • Fans needing a quiet crash pad post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, its central location means you’re surrounded by walkable dining options—from casual late-night bites to upscale eateries. There’s also plenty of coffee shops and breakfast spots nearby for those slow mornings after a big night. Though room service isn’t available, many nearby places offer delivery straight to your room.

Nightlife Options

  • Live music venues and lounges are within walking distance
  • Easy access to the Long Beach nightlife scene with bars, breweries, and clubs
  • Chill spots nearby for a quieter nightcap

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The indoor pool and gym are a big plus for travelers looking to stay active. Reviews also highlight the excellent location for events and concerts, with many mentioning how easy it is to walk to nearby venues.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is well-kept, some guests mention that parking can be tight and comes with an added fee. Also, while the hotel is centrally located, it doesn't offer on-site dining, so you'll need to explore the neighborhood for meals—which, to be fair, is part of the fun in Long Beach.

The Bottom Line

This is a great pick for music fans who want to be close to the venue, comfortable after the show, and surrounded by all that downtown Long Beach has to offer.

Jim, Atascadero, visiting Terrace Theater Long Beach

We will stay again when we come down to see another concert at the Terrace Theater.

Liked: Loved the room - the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean with everything that we needed. The two ladies that signed us in and when we checked out were very friendly and helpful.

I’d stay again if the...

Liked: Convenient place to stay and it’s near and close to everything. The staff are super nice especially the cleaning ladies who works so hard. The front desk not so much, they’re nice but not welcoming to people.
Disliked: The parking fees are way too expensive, it cost more than parking in Las Vegas!
