Flamingo Inn Long Beach

Simple, Affordable Comfort Close to the Action

Located in North Long Beach, Flamingo Inn Long Beach is a budget-friendly motel offering a no-frills stay just a short drive from major concert venues across Long Beach and Los Angeles. With free WiFi, flat-screen TVs with cable, and private bathrooms in every room, it’s a convenient base for music lovers who want to save their cash for the show.

Just over 9 miles from the Queen Mary and 14 miles from Knotts Berry Farm, the location puts you within easy reach of both Long Beach and downtown LA venues. Free private parking and a quick 3-mile trip to Long Beach Airport make getting in and out a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

Flamingo Inn Long Beach is a smart pick if you're catching a show and need a clean, quiet space to crash. While not in the heart of downtown, its location means you can avoid the crowds and late-night street noise. Open 24/7 front desk support helps if you're returning late from a concert, and with multiple highways nearby, it’s easy to plan late-night Lyft or Uber rides to and from the venue.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a low-cost place to sleep between shows
• Solo travelers chasing bucket-list gigs in LA or Long Beach
• Couples making a weekend out of a concert trip
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery zone
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer spending on tickets, not turndown service

Food and Drink Options

While Flamingo Inn doesn’t have on-site dining, it’s surrounded by casual eateries and fast food spots that stay open late. You’ll find walkable taco stands, diners, and takeout options nearby — perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. For morning-after recovery, several breakfast spots are just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

This isn't a party hotel, but you're within driving distance of downtown Long Beach’s nightlife scene, including bars, lounges, and clubs. Consider this a quiet place to recharge before or after heading out. If you prefer craft brews and laid-back vibes, there are several local taprooms within a few miles.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, helpful staff, and affordable price point. Many reviews mention that the motel is a solid pick for travelers who want somewhere simple and safe to sleep. The free parking and easy check-in are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a bare-bones stay, so don’t expect luxury. Some guests mention that the location feels a bit far from the main concert hotspots, and the surrounding area can be quieter than some might like. But for the price, most agree it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with easy access to Long Beach and LA music venues, Flamingo Inn Long Beach is a no-fuss option that gets the job done.
