Its not massive, but it has all the basic necessities with hotels very near and accessible. The area directly around it is fine but don't wander too far out. More

The place is enormous. Kind of aggressive panhandlers in the parking lot. More

Just enjoyed the AAPG National Convention at the Long Beach Convention &Entertainment center...was a great location in downtown Long Beach...located with easy walking distance of many restaurants,movie theaters, hotels,the harbor, and the Center for Performing Arts. I liked the set up for the speakers, talks, and luncheons. Only problem was with some poorly marked parking areas for the convention center. More

Long Beach CC is not bad as medium sized Convention Centers are concerned, but they're pricing themselves out of the market for some conventions with the drayage rates. And double time on Saturdays? Doesn't affect most people, but with drayage rates over $130/cwt, and double on weekends, they're hurting themselves more than they're helping! More

Centrally located in downtown Long Beach; walking distance from a lot of hotels and restaurants, as well as the harbor. The Center of Performing Arts has a beautiful fountain on the front of the building which is pretty to walk by at night. I'm back here in October for a conference! More
