Residence Inn by Marriott Long Beach Downtown

Ocean Views and Downtown Vibes in Long Beach

Modern and spacious, the Residence Inn by Marriott Long Beach Downtown offers laid-back comfort right by the water. Just two miles from the Long Beach Convention Center and close to top live music venues, this all-suite hotel combines the convenience of downtown with the calm of oceanfront living. With a full kitchen in every suite and free Wi-Fi throughout, it’s a smart, self-catered option for travelers who like a bit of independence.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the sweet spot for music fans. It’s close to major Long Beach venues, yet just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful sleep after a loud night. The 12:00 PM check-out gives you extra recovery time post-show, and with reliable rideshare access and public transport nearby, getting back after a gig is a breeze. Plus, the suites offer enough space to relax, recharge, or even pre-game with friends.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want spacious, shareable suites
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
• Couples looking for a weekend music-and-ocean getaway
• Fans who prefer a quieter setting after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking kitchen-equipped comfort

Food and Drink Options

After a late night, you’ll appreciate the daily hot buffet breakfast—included with your stay and perfect for slow mornings. While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, each suite has a full kitchen, and downtown dining is just a short walk or ride away. Grocery delivery is also available, making it easy to stock up on snacks or midnight bites.

Nightlife Options

Long Beach’s bars and lounges are a quick trip from the hotel, offering everything from craft cocktails to casual pubs. While there’s no live music on-site, you’re minutes away from plenty of nightlife action, and the hotel bar is a relaxed spot to unwind with a drink before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious suites, especially the full kitchens and comfy beds. Reviews highlight the friendly staff, cleanliness, and the peaceful location with ocean views. Many mention how easy it is to get to events and appreciate the easy parking and overall value.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers note that the parking fees can add up, and others would have liked more dining options directly on-site. A few reviews mention that the area is quieter at night—great for sleep, but not ideal if you’re hoping to walk to bars.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show and want space, comfort, and a little ocean breeze—Residence Inn by Marriott Long Beach Downtown is a solid pick for concert-goers who want the best of both worlds.
