The Best Western Golden Sails Hotel in Long Beach, California has consistently been voted "The Best Lodging Value" in Southern California by the United States General Services Administration (GSA). This rating was achieved after hundreds of hotels and motels in the Southern California area were researched and analyzed by GSA marketing researchers for factors such as: The best per diem rate for the government and military personnel; the lodging establishment’s accessibility to major highways, airports and attractions; and the services and lodging values provided by the lodging establishment.
The Golden Sails’ per diem rate for government and military personnel is only $96, making it the most competitive hotel to offer numerous of free meals and services which is unmatched by any hotel in the Long Beach and Los Angeles area. For $96 each guest receives the following FREE services everyday: Free full-service breakfast, free sack lunch available upon request, free dinner, free evening hors d’ oeuvres, free beverages, access to the computer center, free health club, pool, and spa, free nightly access to entertainment functions held in the PCH Lounge located on the facility, and most importantly to those who play golf, you get free access to the golf course located adjacent to the hotel. The hotel provides an attractive rate for non-government guests as well. Call for additional details.
According to Sales Manager Ms. Sonya Bergren, "We frequently play host to Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy seminars whom are granted free complimentary access to our huge conference center." Ms. Bergren stated that with the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach being right up the street, Naval officials are a regular and welcomed sight in her conference center. "Because of limited facilities on the Naval station for large group conferences, the Navy utilized our facilities quite frequently," said Ms. Bergren.
