A stone's throw away from the Casino of Paris, the house is located in a quiet street in a lively neighbourhood with many shops, cafes, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, and so on. It is bathed in sunlight, on the 4th floor with a lift, and equipped with a walk-in shower and a kitchenette. All of the bedding was replaced in September 2014. The apartment is equipped with Wi-Fi, a flat screen television, and a Hi-Fi system. The nearest metro station (Liège) is 3 min away on foot, the Champs Élysées is 3 stations away. The apartment is 15 minutes away from department stores and from Montmartre. There is a possibility of parking your car in a garage not too far, at affordable rates.
I'm in my fifties, and I am a company manager in the field of IT and finance. I am passionate about science and the game of Go. I also have a weakness for cats and guinea pigs…
Simon purchased this apartment in 1998
Located next to Clichy Square and the Moulin Rouge, between the Opera and Montmartre, the apartment is spacious in a luxury Haussmann-type building with a lift. It was entirely renovated in 2013.
The apartment, composed of two separate bedrooms, a separate living room, and a dining room, can accommodate up to 6 people. The friendly owner, who occasionally rents out his main residence, will welcome you with the greatest care! (Posted on 18/04/2014)
Spacious apartment, sunny, in a quiet street but in a lively neighbourhood, very central, with a lot of transportation possibilities.
This apartment was perfectly suited to our needs, three adults and a 5 year old child. Simon was very courteous and responsive throughout the process. The street is quiet (except for some restaurant chatter in the evenings) and the bedrooms are facing the courtyard.
The weather was nice when we arrived so we were able to walk with luggage from the RoissyBus stop at the Opera. Metro stations are nearby, as well as many shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed the bakery at the corner every day, and bought most of our groceries less than 1 block away. We would definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity, and have recommended it to friends that will be visiting Paris.
We are a family of 5 that stayed in this lovely apartment on two different occasions. The apartment is in a very central location, within walking distance to many points of interest, metro, bus lines, etc. Despite its central location, it is situated on a very quiet dead-end street with an amazing patisserie on the corner and a well-stocked grocery store just down the street.
The apartment was perfect for our family -- really comfortable, nice for the kids to relax in when needed, lots of fresh air and light. Having an elevator was also really helpful.
Simon, the owner, was also really quick to respond to emails and very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this rental!
Quiet street with great ventilation -- lots of windows. Fast and convenient wifi. Bakery and food market nearby at the end of the street. 4 flights up in a older but pretty, secure building. 1-2 person lift to handle luggage. Small kitchen had all the necessities. Metro stops were closeby. Foam mattress was very comfy! Shower was roomy and being separated from toilet was good--like having two bathrooms. Simon, the owner was very helpful and accessible. Two new fans with extension cords are probably needed for the unusually hot evenings.
Our family of 4 would stay again.
We had a great stay. Convenient for "living the Paris neighborhood " life. A little noisy on the weekend. We used the bakery, the supermarche, the metro, etc. Thanks Simon and Stephania for a wonderful time.
We loved staying in Simon's flat. It's on the 4th floor of a building that's on a quiet cul de sac a few blocks below the Place de Clichy. There is a small lift, but the stairs are a nicer way to go, if you can. There is a great boulangerie on the corner along with a good bistro, a nice market opposite the boulangerie, an excellent pizza place that Simon recommended a block away, and lots of eateries around the Place de Clichy. Two Metro stops are in easy walking distance, and a bus toward the downtown is a block away. Because the 9th is not as popular as other sections of the city, we felt like we were staying amongst Parisians rather than masses of tourists. We were there at the beginning of high season in early July, and while we heard lots of different accents in the more touristy areas, we heard only French in our neighborhood, which we loved.
The flat itself was perfect for us (two adults and two college-age boys). There were two good-sized bedrooms, a large dining area, and a nice lounge - we were able to enjoy Euro 2016 and the Tour de France on the flat screen TV. Small but very functional kitchen. And throughout were large windows with ingenious fasteners that could be set to allow a nice breeze to flow through the flat. It was very comfortable, and it gave us a nice feel of the city.
Simon was a great host. We didn't meet, but communication with him was very easy and quick. We got to town later than we'd expected, but he left detailed instructions for getting in, and he was very responsive to our questions. He was also very friendly, spoke good English, and was patient with my attempts to communication in French.
I recommend Simon's flat as a great place to stay in this marvelous city. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future.
Close to all amenities - transport, supermarket, shopping. Good size apartment. Has everything you need. Perfect for our family of 2 adults, 2 adult children. Easy to deal with host and available if we had questions
Metro (3 lines) and bus (5) nearby, three stops away by metro from the Champs Élysées and the Opera. There is a very good bakery down the street. Visit the Lepic market (about an 8-min walk), where the film "Amélie Poulin" was shot (a must-see), then continue to climb to the Place du Tertre (top of Montmartre). For shopping, department stores (Opéra-St Lazare) are a 10 to 15-min walk away.

Fantastic meal. Have been several times. Always a great meal and excellent service.
Fish rodízio a must and cannot be beaten. If you're in Albufeira you cannot miss this.
Great fish and excellent service , rodizio was the best way to do it.....I ate a little more than i should and the owner provided me with some ''Portugues medicine '' witch helped me straight away...Thanks guys, i will be back .
Visited for lunch, and had by far and away the best meal of our holiday. We all went for the fish special - which consists of a simple salad, garlic and herb potatoes, and a stream of simply cooked - but delicious - fish. Bream, salmon, squid, cod - absolutely gorgeous!
Very satisfying dinner here - the fish just kept coming and all of it was perfect. Service was quick and it was also good value for money.
Food is not worth the price,of course you can order italian and its reliable. for a restaurant near the sea the fish is scarce, I don't mind spending money if i get a fair return
If you are in Portugal, try the fish. It may be a long time since you had to carefully tease flesh away from fish bone or you may never have done it but give it a try. The secret is that there's no rush. Take your time, there's no hurry. As with many southern european countries, mealtimes are an occasion...
Went there on a big group last saturday. Restaurant is quite full so book ahead or arrive nearly after 20PM.
Service is quite ok but you might have to ask for beverages or side dish 2,3 times.
The fish is very good and if you are into eating various fish types its a good place to go. The squid wasnt...
Excellent grilled salmon portion with new potatoes and salad. Reasonable price. Fully air-conditioned restaurant.
We tried it with friends, the "Rodozio of fish", very good fish, you eat a lot as you can with a good white wine. to recommend, a good restaurant in a tourist street ...
Visited twice during our stay and had brilliant meals on both occasions, try the grilled sardines or the sea bass... Absolutely delicious

Skip to comments.The people's verdict: Most Germans and French DON'T want to stay in Euro
Posted on 12/10/2011 9:42:45 AM PST by Qbert
The deal signed by the eurozone countries still faces huge hurdles, because of simmering tensions between the member states and growing disenchantment within their own borders.
A startling poll last night showed that only a third of French people believed that their country should stay in the euro indefinitely.
The situation in Germany was scarcely better with support for staying in the single currency long-term standing at just 41 per cent.
The figures were revealed in a ComRes survey for CNN last night. It shows how the leaders pressing for closer integration are dangerously out of touch with their own people.
The poll was conducted across seven eurozone countries. It also found that only 38 per cent in Greece and 37 per cent in Ireland and Portugal wanted to remain in the euro.
The study found that almost half of the French and Germans believe they would be better off outside the euro. Some 42 per cent in both countries said they should never have joined the currency.
Just 37 per cent of people in Germany and 35 per cent in France believe their economies are in better shape because they are in the euro.
In Germany about 40 per cent were also opposed to the idea of closer European integration as championed by Angela Merkel. Only 15 per cent thought EU officials could be trusted to run Germanys economy. In France, just 20 per cent of people thought EU officials should be handed sweeping powers over the economy.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
The workers of Germany and supporting the rest of Europe. Not a good situation.
"The workers of Germany and supporting the rest of Europe."
Amen to that!!!
The French and particularly the Germans have finally realized that they have gone into business with their retarded socialist brothers to the south, and that no amount of hard work will ever make the business successful.
Yep. It seems Fredo is in charge and no matter how much money you make nothing is going to change until the people at the top change.
As usual the pols ignore the peasants wishes. "Same as it ever was"
Don't these countries have to have a referendum/election on this latest agreement for it to take effect in those countries?
Actually, Italy exports more stuff than the Brits (Europe's Financial capital) and even more than the Japanese - if one considers the population numbers. There was no housing bubble (she enjoys a high ownership rate), and places third in Gold reserves. And...
According to Morgan Stanley, Italians sit on 8.6 trillion euros of net wealth or about 340,000 euros per household, the highest among major industrial nations.
Plus, though full of problems, you'll just have to take my subjective word for it, life is much better, sweeter and safer (not to mention tastier) than Germany. And with 60% of the world's art treasures it's also prettier.
How are people over there responding to the Federazione Anarchica Informale letter bomb that exploded at the tax office? Think this will escalate as the leftists rebel against the austerity measures?
I saw this coming YEARS ago!! The European countries all have proud histories, but they never wanted to become the United Sates of Europe!! The more that the leftists in Brussels pushed the leftist agenda on all of the EU countries, the more I could see things starting to crack.
Each country has its own means of pride and identification but, little says more about a country than its currency. When the European nations began to abandon their identity by adopting the Euro, I knew it would only be a matter of time.
The EU and the Euro will, IMO, soon go the way of the Dinosaur. It was an interesting experiment but, given the nationalistic pride each country has in itself and its history, this was simply not going to be a permanent situation!!
It's just barely in the news. Fringe crazies. Real malcontent still has to kick in. It got some Twitter feedback in the form of dark irony:
«Letter bomb explodes at Equitalia (tax collection office). It was the first instalment»
«Letter bomb sent to Equitalia. 60 million Italians under investigation»
There have been some strikes - the usual ineffectual 3 hour deals and not even by all the acronymns of the confederation. But like the French and Germans, sentiment against United Europe and especially the Euro is on the rise. Should the Euro implode (and it's hard to imagine that it won't), ironically the country that stands to suffer the most is Germany. Her strong Mark will put many of her products out of reach and the weaker Lira, free to be adjusted will make Italy's exports more affordable.
Will there be a resurrectiuon in the Red Brigades during the chaos? Probably. But the Communism of the 70's is mostly dead here. Much of the working class vote has gone to the Northern League. Plus Italy's an aging country (the real crisis).
They are surrendering self determination to the EU if they accept this nonsense. Why would the Germans and the French want to be ruled by a committee of amoral, politically correct technocrats who could care less about them and who are untouchable.
The Western elite made a religious ideology out of social and economic globalism. It is a world take over by an elite class claiming they will deliver peace and security and equal wealth distribution upon the globe. It is totally based on faith because there is nothing that supports such promises from centrally controlled top-down rule in the history of mankind.
Globalists what to be the globe's royality and are concerned about their wealth and power and nothing else. They have no respect for human beings nor for individual freedom and self determination. To top it off, they beleive in eugenics.
I hope the Europeans tell this elite class of wannabe rulers of a global collective to kiss off.
You need to ask Nigel LaFarge that question.
Watch the Youtube video on post 14.
Some will goo full-on commie, others fascist. All statist under the banner of free elections and making the trains run on time.
The EU will not end well.
Why should they? It's like the US and Canada having to support the rest of the western hemisphere. We're doing enough of that already without sharing the same currency.
As in the US, they don't like government-RICO either.
Wow! That guy is a hero! I hope the Europeans listen to him. He's not kidding nor exaggerating!
Globalism's trade will implode, too. I hope. We are in a rush to the bottom (Indian and Chinese poverty) with that scheme. And the "citizen of the world" culture it designed and pushed on the US and Europeans is tribalist, racist, unethical and disgusting. It is lawless.
You are right Friend Festusbanjo, my only correction would be to say it's a very bad **gay** marriage because - well - where are the kids?
To be more scientific let's just say that "anthropologically" we're too different and whereas some integration was fine, necessary and even physiological, this MASHING (which at the time I myself favored) was a mistake. That's why I say that these meetings should be about undoing - CTRL-Z - and not about deepening the misery.
Mistakes happen... in fact, much of politics is a lesson in unintended consequences. Look at what welfare did to the blacks of the USA. Or consider multi-culturalism.
Who invented the saying: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions?"
The saying is thought to have originated with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux who wrote, "L'enfer est plein de bonnes volontés et désirs" (hell is full of good wishes and desires)
This Saint's worth on the idea exchange just shot up 10% where as NIKE'S "Just do it" is losing traction!
Viva l'America (especially where banjos are played)
Thanks Qbert.
>>>>They are surrendering self determination to the EU if they accept this nonsense. Why would the Germans and the French want to be ruled by a committee of amoral, politically correct technocrats who could care less about them and who are untouchable?<<<<
Trouble is that there, much like here, there are 50+ percent of the adult population who prefer to have someone else do the heavy lifting for them. And so they side with the unions, the liberals, the socialists, the greens, the communists...Of course as you say it can't work because the fewer and fewer can't support the more and more.
Right now in this country we are fighting a lazy, vindictive, destructive president who uses terms like "fairness" and "luck" and "privilege" and "they" & "them" in hopes of winning just a few more percent to his side of envy and dependency, thereby changing the course of the U.S. forever.
This kind of insulting statements ("retarded socialist brothers to the south") are openly promoted by the anglo media. I wonder if this is the last kind of racism allowed.
Just for the record. Italy is a major EU net payer. They pay between 4 and 5 net billion euros to Brussels each year. Italians have never got a net cent from Germany. And Spain will become a net payer soon too.

STEPHEN G. LINGIS, DONALD L. SMITH, AND PETER D. WHITE, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND A CLASS OF PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS,v.MOTOROLA, INC., THE PROFIT SHARING COMMITTEE OF MOTOROLA, INC., RICK DORAZIL, CHRISTOPHER B. GALVIN, ROBERT L. GROWNEY, H. LAURANCE FULLER, ANNE P. JONES, JUDY C. LEWENT, WALTER E. MASSEY, NICHOLAS NEGROPONTE, JOHN E. PEPPER, JR., SAMUEL C. SCOTT III, GARY L. TOOKER, JOHN A. WHITE, AND CARL F. KOENEMANN, DEFENDANTS.
This case is again before the court for resolution of a lingering dispute concerning allocation of costs incurred in an unsuccessful ERISA class action brought against the Motorola Profit Sharing Plan. The action arose from a drop in the value of Motorola's shares that Plaintiffs attribute to the disclosure of material information concerning approximately $2 billion in high-risk loans Motorola made to Telsim Mobil Telekomunikasyon Hizmetleri A.S. ("Telsim"), a Turkish telecommunications company. Telsim ultimately defaulted on the loans, which were secured only by a pledge of Telsim stock. At the same time, Telsim tripled the number of its outstanding shares, thus substantially diluting Motorola's collateral. This debacle spawned a series of lawsuits, including an action by Motorola against the family that controlled Telsim, Motorola Credit Corp. v. Uzan, 274 F. Supp. 2d 481 (S.D.N.Y. 2003), aff'd in part, vacated in part, 388 F.3d 39 (2d Cir. 2009); a securities class action brought by shareholders against Motorola in this court, In re Motorola Sec. Litig., 505 F. Supp. 2d 501 (N.D. Ill. 2007); and this ERISA "stock drop" case. In this action, Motorola employees who held Motorola stock in their individual retirement accounts brought suit against the Motorola 401(k) Plan, alleging that Defendants (Plan fiduciaries and Motorola officials), breached their fiduciary duty to Plan participants by continuing to offer Motorola stock as an investment option when they knew that problems with the Telsim deal made that option imprudent. Plaintiffs also alleged that Defendants misrepresented Motorola's financial health to Plan participants, and failed to adequately appoint, monitor, and inform Plan fiduciaries.
In it first summary judgment ruling, this court entered judgment in favor of Defendants on the ground that claims brought by the original named Plaintiff, Bruce G. Howell, were barred by a waiver and release that Howell signed at the end of his employment. See Howell v. Motorola, Inc., No. 03 C 5044, 2005 WL 2420410 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 30, 2005), aff'd, 633 F.3d 552 (7th Cir. 2011); cert. denied sub nom. Lingis v. Dorazil, 132 S. Ct. 96 (2011). Plaintiffs Stephen Lingis, Donald Smith, and Peter White ("Plaintiffs") were then substituted for Howell, and the court certified the case for class treatment on September 28, 2007. (Order [256].) On motions for summary judgment, the court again granted judgment in favor of Defendants, ruling that they had not breached a duty imposed by ERISA and that they could rely on the "safe harbor" established by section 404(c) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1104(c). See Lingis v. Motorola, Inc., 649 F. Supp. 2d 861 (N.D. Ill. 2009), aff'd sub nom. Howell v. Motorola, Inc., 633 F.3d 552; cert. denied sub nom. Lingis v. Dorazil, 132 S. Ct. 96.
While Howell's appeal was pending before the Seventh Circuit and Plaintiffs' class claim was pending before this court, Defendants filed a timely bill of costs for $4,694.70 related to Howell's action, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d). At the time the court decided that motion, Rule 54(d) provided, "Except when express provision therefor is made either in a statute of the United States or in these rules, costs other than attorneys' fees shall be allowed as of course to the prevailing party unless the court otherwise directs . . . ." FED. R. CIV. P. 54(d)(1) (2006) (emphasis added). The court concluded that section 502 of ERISA-pursuant to which "the court in its discretion may allow a reasonable attorney's fee and costs of action to either party," 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g)(1)-constituted an express exception to the application of Rule 54(d). (Order [203], at 5-6.) Applying § 1132(g)(1), the court denied Defendants' petition for costs on March 12, 2007, on the grounds that Defendants did not challenge Plaintiff Howell's good faith or argue that his position was not substantially justified. (Id. at 6.) The court further observed that Plaintiff Howell had survived a "hard-fought motion to dismiss and, although the court concluded Howell himself lack[ed] standing, his arguments to the contrary were not insubstantial." (Id.)
Defendants now bring a timely bill of costs in connection with the court's second summary judgment order, the one dismissing the class action brought by Plaintiffs Lingis, Smith, and White on its merits. Defendants seek recovery of $84,214.02 in costs pursuant to Rule 54(d). Plaintiffs filed an objection for reasons mirroring this court's 2007 ruling declining to tax costs against Howell. More recently, Defendants filed Notice of Supplemental Authority in support of their bill of costs. Defendants claim this authority, Loomis v. Exelon Corp., 658 F.3d 667 (7th Cir. 2011), undermines the reasoning in this court's previous order. For the reasons explained below, the court sustains Plaintiffs' objection to an award of costs.
I. Applicable Cost Provision
Rule 54(d) creates a presumption in favor of awarding costs to the prevailing party-unless another statute creates an exception. In support of their argument that § 1132(g)(1) is not a statutory exception within the meaning of Rule 54(d), Defendants note that Rule 54(d) was amended in 2007. That rule now provides, in relevant part, "Unless a federal statute, these rules, or a court order provides otherwise, costs-other than attorney's fees-should be allowed to the prevailing party." FED. R. CIV. P. 54(d)(1). Defendants see a change in this amendment; they argue that because § 1132(g)(1) does not prohibit the award of costs, it does not "provide otherwise." Defendants' attempt to leverage the amended language is misplaced. As the Advisory Committee's note makes plain, the changes were part of a "general restyling of the Civil Rules" and "are intended to be stylistic only." FED. R. CIV. P. 54(d) advisory committee's note to 2007 Amendments. Courts within this district have rejected similar arguments predicated on the stylistic changes. See George v. Kraft Foods Global, Inc., No. 07-1713, 2010 WL 1976826, at *2 (N.D. Ill. May 14, 2010) (Schenkier, Mag. J.) (rejecting the argument that Seventh Circuit precedent recognizing § 1132(g)(1) as an express exception under Rule 54(d)(1) is no longer applicable after that rule's amendment); Brieger v. Tellabs, Inc., 652 F. Supp. 2d 925, 927 (N.D. Ill. 2009) (Kennelly, J.) (same). To the extent that the amended language might support legal arguments that diverge from the pre-amendment Rule 54(d) jurisprudence, the court remains bound by precedent.
As this court noted in its 2007 Order denying costs, the Seventh Circuit decision that most directly addresses the issue is Nichol v. Pullman Standard, Inc., 889 F.2d 115 (7th Cir. 1989). In Nichol, the district court had dismissed the plaintiff's ERISA claim because he had signed a severance agreement relinquishing his rights to long-term disability benefits, but the court denied the defendant's petition for costs and attorneys' fees. Id. at 116. The Seventh Circuit affirmed. Id. at 122. Quoting the exception in Rule 54(d) for cases where a "express provision" is made by federal statute, the Seventh Circuit observed that § 1132(g)(1) was "such an express provision." Id. at 121.
The Seventh Circuit has not applied the Nichol precedent consistently, however. In several cases, the court has applied Rule 54(d) to ERISA actions without discussing whether § 1132(g)(1) displaces Rule 54(d). See, e.g., White v. Sundstrand Corp., 256 F.3d 580, 585-86 (7th Cir. 2001); McIlveen v. Stone Container Corp., 910 F.2d 1581, 1584 (7th Cir. 1990). In other cases, the Seventh Circuit has applied § 1132(g)(1) without commenting on that provision's relationship to Rule 54(d). See, e.g., Bowerman v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 226 F.3d 574, 592-93 (7th Cir. 2000); Little v. Cox's Supermarkets, 71 F.3d 638, 644 (7th Cir. 1995); Anderson v. Flexel, Inc., 47 F.3d 243, 250-51 (7th Cir. 1995). In yet another case, the court appeared to apply § 1132(g)(1) in affirming a district court's denial of an attorneys' fee petition, but affirmed the district court's grant of costs under Rule 54(d). See Quinn v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield Ass'n, 161 F.3d 472, 478-79 (7th Cir. 1998). In a more recent case, the court affirmed an award of costs without referencing Rule 54(d) or § 1132(g)(1). See Hecker v. Deere & Co., 556 F.3d 575, 591 (7th Cir. 2009) (Hecker I), reh'g denied, 569 F.3d 708 (7th Cir. 2009) (Hecker II). Defendants' brief relies heavily on Hecker, but that case is not particularly helpful because the parties appeared to dispute what types of costs should be allowed, not whether an award of costs was appropriate in the first place.
In Loomis v. Exelon Corp., the supplemental authority Defendants brought to the court's attention, the Seventh Circuit declined to resolve these inconsistencies, but included dicta strongly indicating that § 1132(g)(1) does supplant Rule 54(d) in ERISA cases. The court noted that only one Court of Appeals has accepted the argument that "§ 1132(g)(1) does not 'provide otherwise' than Rule 54(d) because [§ 1132(g)(1)] never forbids an award of costs"-the exact argument Defendants make in this case. Loomis, 658 F.3d at 674 (citing Quan v. Computer Sciences Corp., 623 F.3d 870, 888-89 (9th Cir. 2010)). The court was skeptical of the Ninth Circuit's conclusion, observing that even if a statute did not forbid an award to the prevailing party, the statute would "be otherwise" if it "established a presumption against an award of costs," in contrast to Rule 54(d)'s presumption in favor of such an award, or if the statute established the opposite presumption, in favor of the winner paying the loser's costs. Id.
As the Seventh Circuit suggested, Rule 54(d) and § 1132(g) differ on the degree to which an award of costs is presumptive. A court's discretion to deny costs under Rule 54(d) is subject to a "strong presumption that the prevailing party will recover costs." Mother & Father v. Cassidy, 338 F.3d 704, 708 (7th Cir. 2003) (emphasis added). The Seventh Circuit has recognized only two narrow exceptions, involving the misconduct of the prevailing party or the indigence of the losing party. See id.; see also Rivera v. City of Chicago, 469 F.3d 631, 636 (7th Cir. 2006) (describing the indigence exception as "a narrow one" and noting that the losing party still bears the burden of overcoming the presumption). Prior to the 2007 amendments, the court identified the textual support for this presumption in Rule 54(d)(1)'s direction that courts award costs "as of course." Cassidy, 338 F.3d at 708. Although that language is absent in the amended version, the use of the normative phrase "should be allowed" can be read to give rise to the same presumption, even if it is less exhortative than the phrase "shall be allowed" in the prior version. In any event, as mentioned above, the 2007 amendments are intended to generate no substantive change.
Section 1132(g)(1), which provides for an award of costs and fees, is less firm. Instead, under that statute, a court "may allow a reasonable attorney's fee and costs of action to either party," suggesting that courts have greater discretion to award or deny costs. Though an award of costs is therefore not mandatory under § 1132(g)(1), such an award is more broadly available under that section: The Supreme Court has interpreted § 1132(g)(1) as allowing award of fees and costs to "partially prevailing parties"-parties that have achieved some degree of success on the merits-a more generous standard than Rule 54(d). Hardt v. Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co., 130 S. Ct. 2149, 2157 (2010) (quoting Ruckelshaus v. Sierra Club, 436 U.S. 680, 688 (1983)); cf. Smart v. Local 702 Int'l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, 573 F.3d 523, 525 (7th Cir. 2009) ("A party prevails for purposes of Rule 54(d) when a final judgment awards it substantial relief."). While the Seventh Circuit has recognized that § 1132(g)(1) creates a presumption in favor of awarding costs and fees to the prevailing party, the court has characterized that presumption as "modest" and "rebuttable." Hess v. Reg-Ellen Mach. Tool Corp., 367 F. App'x 687, 690 (7th Cir. 2010); see also Jackman Fin. Corp. v. Humana Ins. Co., 641 F.3d 860, 866 (7th Cir. 2011); Laborers' Pension Fund v. Lay-Com, Inc., 580 F.3d 602, 615 (7th Cir. 2009); Herman v. Cent. States, Se. & Sw. Areas Pension Fund, 423 F.3d 684, 695-96 (7th Cir. 2005). As discussed more fully below, the Seventh Circuit has affirmed the denial of costs under § 1132(g)(1) where the losing party's positions, while unsuccessful, were made in good faith and were "substantially justified." See, e.g., Jackman Fin. Corp., 641 F.3d at 866.
Public policy concerns also militate in favor of applying § 1132(g)(1)'s less presumptive cost-and-fee-shifting provision in cases where defendants seek costs from plaintiffs. In crafting ERISA's remedial scheme, Congress chose to provide for a private right of action, empowering plan participants and beneficiaries to act as "private attorneys general" to vindicate the Act's regulatory objectives. See Marquardt v. N. Am. Car Corp., 652 F.2d 715, 720 n.6 (7th Cir. 1981). Applying Rule 54(d)'s stronger presumption in favor of awarding costs to prevailing defendants would upset the balance Congress struck between encouraging plaintiffs to bring actions that "seemed reasonable at the outset" and deterring frivolous lawsuits. Id.
Bound by the Seventh Circuit's holding in Nichol and the dicta in Loomis, the court concludes that § 1132(g)(1) "provides otherwise" than Rule 54(d). Consequently, it is § 1132(g)(1) that governs the award of costs in this case.
II. Appropriateness of Costs Under § 1132(g)(1)
As noted, § 1132(g)(1) provides for an award of both costs and attorneys' fees. The Seventh Circuit has long recognized two tests for determining whether such an award is appropriate. Under the first test, a court considers multiple factors: "(1) the degree of the offending party's culpability or bad faith; (2) the ability of the offending party to satisfy personally an award of attorney fees; (3) whether an award of attorney fees would deter other persons acting under similar circumstances; (4) the amount of benefit conferred on members of the plan as a whole; and, (5) the relative merits of the parties' positions." Jackman Fin. Corp., 641 F.3d at 866. The Seventh Circuit has recognized that this test "'is oriented toward the case where the plaintiff rather than the defendant prevails and seeks an award of attorney's fees.'" Nichol, 889 F.2d at 121 (quoting Bittner v. Sadoff & Rudoy Indus., 728 F.2d 820, 829 (7th Cir. 1984), overruled on other grounds by McCarter v. Ret. Plan for Dist. Managers of Am. Family Ins. Grp., 540 F.3d 649, 654 (7th Cir. 2008)).
Given the disconnect between several of the factors and cases where prevailing defendants seek an award of fees and costs, the Seventh Circuit created a second test, derived by analogy from the Equal Access to Justice Act ("EAJA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A). See Bittner, 728 F.2d at 830 (observing that the EAJA "entitles a prevailing party in many types of suit against the government to a reasonable attorney's fee 'unless the court finds that the position of the United States was substantially justified or that special circumstances make an award unjust.'"); see also Pierce v. Underwood, 487 U.S. 552, 565 (1988) (holding that the EAJA's "substantially justified" test means "'justified in substance or in the main'-that is justified to a degree that could satisfy a reasonable person"). As applied in the ERISA context, "an award of fees to a successful defendant in an ERISA suit 'may be denied if the plaintiff's position was both "substantially justified"-meaning something more than non-frivolous, but something less than meritorious-and taken in good faith, or if special circumstances make an award unjust.'" Jackman Fin. Corp., 641 F.3d at 866 (quoting Herman, 423 F.3d at 696; Harris Trust & Sav. Bank v. Provident Life & Accident Ins. Co., 57 F.3d 608, 616-17 (7th Cir. 1995)). By allowing for special circumstances, the Bittner test incorporates the other factors from the five-factor test, where relevant. See Bittner, 728 F.2d at 830 ("The exception for special circumstances that would make an award of fees unjust in a particular case imparts flexibility to the standard and continuity with the cases that use a multi-factored approach.").
The Seventh Circuit has observed that the "five-factor test is often used in conjunction with the 'substantially justified' test and largely involves the same inquiry." Jackman Fin. Corp., 641 F.3d at 866; see also Nichol, 889 F.2d at 121 ("Cases in this Circuit subsequent to Bittner seem to have adopted both systems."). Courts do not err by applying one test over the other, however. "It is difficult to imagine a situation in which the application of one test rather than the other would alter [the] decision concerning the propriety of an award of costs or fees." Nichol, 889 F.2d at 121-22.
The bottom-line question under either approach is the same: "'was the losing party's position substantially justified and taken in good faith, or was that party simply out to harass its opponent?'" Herman, 423 F.3d at 696 (quoting Quinn, 161 F.3d at 478).
Defendants argue that the Seventh Circuit's recent decision in Loomis casts doubt on the "substantially justified" test. In Loomis, the Seventh Circuit affirmed an award of costs to the defendants in a case where the district court dismissed the plaintiffs' ERISA claims. Loomis, 658 F.3d at 674-75. Plaintiffs challenged the award, arguing on appeal that only litigants who proceed in bad faith or to harass may be required to pay costs under § 1132(g)(1). The Seventh Circuit rejected this argument, concluding that "[l]anguage in some appellate opinions declaring 'bad faith' vital to an award under § 1132(g)(1) did not survive Hardt." Id. at 675.*fn1 Although Loomis made clear that a finding of bad faith is not required for a court to award costs, the Seventh Circuit did not explain what standards district courts should apply to guide their discretion. The court expressly noted that it was not ruling on Bittner's "substantially justified" test. Id.
Until such time as the Seventh Circuit directly addresses the issue, this court is bound by the tests recognized in Bittner. In any event, the court does not see these tests as conflicting with the Seventh Circuit's holding in Loomis. Under Loomis, absence of bad faith on the part of the losing party cannot be given dispositive weight by a court when it considers whether an award of costs is appropriate. But that does not mean that a party's good faith is not relevant, either under factor (1) of the five-factor test or under the "substantially justified" test. To the contrary, the Bittner court recognized that "[a]lthough the plaintiff's good faith is not alone enough to prevent the court from awarding the defendant reasonable attorney's fees . . . it may in a special case be evidence of exceptional circumstances that would make the award unjust." Bittner, 728 F.2d at 830.
III. Plaintiffs' "Substantially Justified" ERISA Claims
Because Defendants seek costs from Plaintiffs in this case, the court considers Defendants' petition under the "substantially justified" test. The court notes, first, that Defendants do not allege that Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit merely to harass, and there is no evidence of bad faith on the part of Plaintiffs. Neither does this case appear to involve special circumstances that would make an award unjust, such as a plaintiff's inability to pay an award. Defendants do contest whether Plaintiffs claims were substantially justified, however.
In support of their argument that Plaintiffs' claims lacked a solid basis, Defendants cite to Nichol, in which the Seventh Circuit affirmed a district court's denial of costs where the plaintiff's position "was sufficient to withstand [the defendant's] motion for summary judgment." 889 F.2d at 121. Although proceeding to a trial on the merits is an indication that a plaintiff had substantial justification for bringing suit, this court does not read Nichol to require the conclusion that any claim that does not survive a motion for summary judgment necessarily lacks a substantial justification. The Seventh Circuit has affirmed the denial of costs or fees to defendants even in cases resolved against plaintiffs on summary judgment. See, e.g., Jackman Fin. Corp., 641 F.3d at 867; Harris Trust & Sav. Bank, 57 F.3d at 616-17; Herman, 423 F.3d at 696.
Defendants also cite to the depositions of the three named class representatives-in which each Plaintiff testified to his belief that Motorola should have continued to offer Motorola stocks as an investment option throughout the investment period-as evidence that Plaintiffs' imprudent fund selection claim lacked a solid basis in fact. Indeed, the court noted that troublesome testimony in the summary judgment decision, and it expressed skepticism that the case could proceed as a class action when the class representatives disagreed with the central premise of that claim. See Lingis, 649 F. Supp. 2d at 880 n.10. The court further noted, however, that "[w]hether an appointed class representative can waive a cause of action on behalf of the entire class based on his own statements is a difficult question." Id. The court does not conclude from these statements alone that Plaintiffs' class claims lacked substantial justification when initiated.
Although it is a close question, the court concludes that Plaintiffs' ERISA action was justified to a sufficient degree to satisfy a reasonable person. As both this court and the Seventh Circuit noted, information about the major risks Motorola took in lending to Telsim, resulting in a loss of approximately $2 billion, was material and undisclosed. See Howell, 633 F.3d at 555, 571; Lingis, 649 F. Supp. 2d at 866-67. These facts were sufficient to preclude summary judgment in the parallel securities litigation class action. Motorola Sec. Litig., 505 F. Supp. 2d at 561.*fn2 It was not unreasonable for Plaintiffs to believe that the Telsim debacle could serve as the predicate for an ERISA action, especially because Defendants, as fiduciaries of the Plan, arguably had a greater duty toward Plan participants than to investors at large.*fn3 The court also notes that the law governing one of Plaintiffs' principal claims (imprudent fund selection) was not settled at the time Plaintiffs filed suit, and that the appeal in this action resolved an open question in the Seventh Circuit.*fn4 Though the evidence in this case was not sufficient to establish Plaintiffs' claims, their litigation position was not indefensible. The court concludes that Plaintiffs have overcome the "modest presumption" that a prevailing party in an ERISA case is entitled to reimbursement under § 1132(g)(1).
For the above reasons, the court sustains Plaintiffs' objections to an award of costs to Defendants. The parties will bear their own costs.

Cleanliness and friendly AM staff No room service
Great Location for the Convention Center, lots of restaurant's in the area, and the comp. breakfast was good The comp. breakfast should be extended to 10:30AM , Refrigerator in rooms would be good improvement. The coffee pot and ice bucket should not be kept in the bathroom, its unsanitary
clean & great location THe undisclosed fee to park at hotel. $10 a night which was never disclosed on either website, NOT RIGHT!!!!
Convenient drive from there to the funeral I was attending the next morning. Easy check out Parking fee and got the very last parking spot at night
It was so close to shoreline and pine avenue You could hear through the rooms
It was clean and comfortable . I liked that it had things you might forget like a razor , sewing kit, toothbrush , ect. Not enough seating area at breakfast.
Staff friendly Parking could have been better, no big deal, we arrived late!
The rooms were spacious and very clean. No complaints.
Location was great. 15 minute walk to the Pike and waterfront location. Close to restaurants, and shopping. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and plenty of parking. The pool was a little small.
Location if hotel And cleanliness. the pool looked deceptivly large on the website. It was basically a giant hot tub. The staff was not accommodating. I wanted an earlier check in @ 2:15, I had three small children and apparently no rooms were clean. The breakfast was shady at best and not much room. I had to take the food into my room. This is the last Best Weatern I stay in.
In the middle of Long Beach downtown. You could walk to local restaurant. Free breakfast was good. Nothing I didn't like
The hotel is clean and the rooms look modern and up to date. The location in downtown Long Beach is pretty central if you want to be in Long Beach. Two double beds instead of two queens, lots of sound traveling between rooms, not a very good shower, room was on the smaller side, check-in issues were an annoyance and were due to staff's actions. Price quite high for what we got.
The Queen Mary is an amazing hotel: historic, beautiful and a great location! We can't wait to stay there again!!!
Being Located near Long Beach was the main reason i booked. It was so easy in the morning to get into Port of long Beach, cruise terminal, downtown and aquarium. I would only give 3 stars for cleanness. It's old cruise so you can't expect the bathroom to be modified or anything but seem to work sometimes, the shower and flusher was an issue in the room I stayed.
Cool old ship. It's old ship, so the rooms are a bit old and not exactly sparkling clean. But the real issue is the Dark Harbor, haunted house event that goes on in October. We were not informed till arriving that are room would be adjacent to this raucous event. From 7pm until 1 am in the morning, extremely loud music, screaming, grass breaking and roaring gas flame would shoot off. It's criminal that the Queen Mary would rent rooms next to this mess. Oh but the front desk gives out cheap ear plugs, so that makes it all better.... not. We were on our one year anniversary and needless to say, were extremely disappointed and frustrated,
Unique and different. Good food although pricey as well. Lot's of things to do and see. Lot's of channels in room. Bed a bit small... We went during a special event and spent extra for the winter "chill" event. avoid at all costs. totally overpriced for what you get. Most disappointing part of our trip.
Right next door to the Carnival port. Enjoyed the self guided tour of the ship. The rooms are large. We had a 3 person room which consisted of one large room with a king bed with an adjoined small room with a twin bed and bathroom. They offer free shuttle to/from downtown Long Beach. They charge $35 to check in before 4pm. They charge parking for hotel guests. The rooms, food, and drinks are overpriced. The bedding was dirty, and it didn't look like they have ever vacuumed under the bed. There was a fire alarm at midnight. The submarine was closed.
There was no hot water in the shower. I told the staff I was sick and needed my room right away and they didn't really seem to care.
It's a cool, old cruise ship. It's kind of a tourist destination in itself. Also, it's really close to the helipad if you're taking the helicopter to Catalina. Overall, the boat felt old and empty and dingy. The bathroom looked a little dirty —probably just age—and there were lightbulbs missing from some of the fixtures in our room. I wanted it to be like stepping back in time, but that wasn't the experience on a weekday. Maybe weekends are better?
I enjoyed the history, as the ship is a museum. I also enjoyed the scariness of it. I caught orbs in my room, B505, and it was spooky. I enjoyed the feeling of being on a ship and the sights from the decks. I don't know if the rustic feel is part of the theme but it seems as if it could use some maintenance.
the novelty of staying in an ocean liner the value for price, the staff, the size of the room, the parking, the lack of amenities onboard, the check-in process,
Atmosphere, history The bathroom wall in the shower was peeling. Looks like they don't maintain their rooms.
We left to go to Catalina and asked them to hold wedding cake til we returned later that eve. When we got there they had put the cake in one of the catering refrigerators, and didn't know which one. Front desk people said the catering manager had left and he was only 1 with key & asked if we could come back the following day, which we couldn't. I said someone must have a key. He called around & finally someone said to check w/security, who had the key. I waited 35 mins. to get my cake. Why didn't person at front desk, and the manager he called, know security would have a key. Or why didn't they put it in a refrigerator they could get to knowing we were coming back that eve.
The staff was knowledgable and very friendly. The historical information was incredible both posted and what staff knew. Being able to explore many places on the ship on our own was really fun. Wish there was a microwave in the room.
The staff were very nice and very accommodating. They helped us with all of our requests. Highly recommend and also in one of the safer areas in LA. I was horrified to see some of the things I saw in California and didn't realize Long Beach was considered "safe" as I am from Australia and we don't have much crime or homeless! It was really an eye opener and we didn't like LA at all. We left the next day, but that's not to say the hotel wasn't good, and the area was away from the horrible areas like downtown LA. If you've never been here be prepared! Only certain areas are OK and that's because the police kick out the homeless from areas like Beverley Hils and Malibu. It's not safe at all HATE everything about LA. Never coming back. Visit Australia, and then you'll know why I say what I say
Very clean and the staff was great, very nice and accommodating! Location was a little noisy and the power went out for 5 hours one night. I know they can't always control that but looked like it was just the hotel that was out, not sure what was going on.
Helpful staff. Parking. Free but tight.
The rooms were clean. The staff was polite and helpful. The breakfast was great. Having the Metro right across the street turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Even though we had no idea what we were doing, others from the area were quite helpful. It was a fun adventure. We would definitely stay here again. The pool was a bit on the small side.
Nothing Everything
We liked Best Western because it had a shuttle to the cruise Horrible location, ice machine not working couldn't find it anywhere, refrigerator not working, bed and comfortable pillows horrible, staff had no answers to any of our questions and were unable to accommodate us for any inconveniences.
Friendly staff Bad area
Very comfortable beds; clean room (trivial) Limited number of power outlets; TV remote had poor range
Nice Staff, loved the shuttle and the free breakfast Horrible Wi-fi, kicked off every few minutes. The area around hotel is pretty ghetto, lots of homeless people.
The hotel looked brand new on the inside. The check in staff was nice, friendly and quick! The neighborhood did not feel safe at all! We were actually afraid to walk outside, overhead sirens in the middle of the night that felt like they were at our back window. I was shocked that there weren't many reviews about the location. Yes, felt safe inside but did even want to open the curtains. We drove to go get something to eat and saw a guy walking around with his underwear on and pants in his hand while talking to himself....
AC didn't work correctly and there was a strange odor in the building. Beds were also not very comfortable.
Best value for a modest hotel. Conveniently located with excellent desk help. Amenities are good and most important good mattress and pillows.
Good money value - better than expected Cleanliness and nice furniture Lots of lighting in the room Breakfast only starts at 6:30AM Difficulties to excess wifi through multiple devices
Rooms looked modern It was over priced. Def not a 3 star. Bugs in room. Bad area! No tv signal even worse was the Internet signal!!! I would and will not recommend Hotel Current! Place.
The maintenance guy, when we were finally able to get the front desk to have him check out our room, was a fast worker and great to talk to. The bathroom was really nice, aside from the faucet not being screwed on (maintenance guy fixed it), shower gel container they provided was broken, and toilet looked about 20 years old. They gave us a bottle of wine since we were there for our honeymoon. It's really a motel, not a hotel. Room was not artsy, eclectic, or colorful like they advertise- it was brown, beige, and black with only 2 splashes of color in the whole room. Housekeeping sucked- didn't vacuum when there were obvious areas of food crumbs, left the garbage can on the toilet, didn't replace ice bag, didn't notify maintenance of problems with room (he specifically said they're supposed to do that). Internet was practically nonexistent and we were only allowed two devices. No HDMI hookups on the tvs. Front desk wasn't very helpful and didn't notify maintenance the first time we came to them with problems. Curtain was ripped so 6 inches of light poured in the room. People smoked outside our room so the smoke smell got in our room die to the 1 inch gaps around the door. They overpriced every service ($2 to wash laundry, $1.75 to dry laundry, $3 minimum to use their computer and $0.50 for each additional minute, $1-1.50 to print per page, etc.). No hot tub, just the pool, though the pool was nice.
The hotel was nice, clean and the location was close to downtown long beach, staff was really friendly and helpful. Our stay was great, beds were really comfortable and our room came with a fridge and microwave. Would comeback to stay for next years Long Beach marathon. Only thing wrong was the walls are a bit thin you could hear door close from other rooms down the building. But other than that's no other problems.
The rooms were very big. Bathroom was great.
It was value for money and the staff were great! There were not enough facilities in the room
We especially liked the location and the service by the front desk. Fuego is a great place to dine. Unfortunately, we were placed next to a family that were loud and disrespectful until late night. The hotel staff tried to quiet them; however, it took many attempts. It was not the real fault of the hotel; but it did make our stay unpleasant.
Beautiful view and location, and very nice room. The staff was very nice to deal with. The price was a little high, and the rug in the room should be replaced.
The views, particularly at night. It was undergoing renovation of one of the towers. Some noise etc. associated with that although it stopped by 5 pm. The staff at the restaurant was really terrible when I had a late lunch. I have stayed there before and enjoyed good service, but it was quite bad on this trip. I waited for at least ten minutes while waiters walked by me and waited on tables seated after I was. There were only 6 or so tables total as it was late afternoon. At one point my waiter talked to the table next to me about personal matters for about ten minutes and then walked off without coming by my table or refilling my water. My experience with all other staff was excellent. The restaurant staff is entirely responsible for the Okay rating.
The atmosphere, view and vibe was relaxing and incredible !! the guy at the front desk was really respectfull and helpfull and even gave us free fresh baked choclate cookies at check in and compt our parking for our visit , think his name was Noor ... Highly recomend and will definitley be coming back soon ! Thumbs upppp
Easy access to bus line ( bus line is Clean an convenient) takes you to downtown long beach. Free shuttle to cruise ship terminal. Great pool and pool bar staff. Cool/funky mayan theme throughout.
I would recommend a water view. It was a great! Nothing
We (either spouse and/or kid) have stayed here at least once a year and have watched it undergo many improvements, it is a wonderful place to stay if you want to be close to the Queen Mary but would like to avoid the noise or prefer a larger room and a pool. Since it is set up like a motel, you have to walk over between buildings and to the pool. The Sunday brunch is fantastic, there is a cute sand area for the kids, decor is cute and the facility always appears clean. I have not used any of the service options (in room or pool side) due to some really bad experiences prior to the change of ownership. During the last stay there was a music festival at the Queen Mary which is to say that it was difficult to get to the hotel and once there, parking was difficult and people were pre-partying around the hotel. We had dinner reservations on the QM and the woman at the front desk offered a golf cart shuttle to the ship. On our way to the room we watched concert goers jockey for a space on the golf cart and then proceed to sit on one another's lap to fit. When we later approached the golf cart pick up area we were relieved to find it empty. A person identifying himself as a manager informed me "this cart isn't working, the battery is out" and then he clarified that it was the only one they had. Lame. In the end we were able to get to dinner in 10 minutes via sturdy Louboutins and the walk path but I would have liked a more professional handling of the situation.
Nice waterfront location Hard to fine by drivers
The staff was very courteous from the moment we arrived and very helpful the entire time. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Long Beach area in the future.
The location, room & pool The front desk was helpful , housekeeping was very good,, breakfast staff was clean & food was GREAT (eggs, cereal, waffles, fruit, juice & coffee). Friendly staff
Clean, comfortable. Poor quality of toiletries.Thin walls - room over the breakfast room - heard everything.
The location of the hotel was great. There were plenty of stores and restuarants to take care of all your needs. The only thing I didn't like was I that wasn't aloowed to use my triple a discount. But other than that the hotle was excellent.
Excellent location, has many food joints around, good for family or business
Staff were excellet and plotted my route when pressed for time. Good bed and internet access.
Great location, shopping nearby. comfort inn is currently under construction.
Clean room and comfortable bed and a/c was working. There was also a nice breakfast and free parking. there was no elevator, had a lot of bags I had to drag upstairs. The laundry room was out of order. Staff seemed confused at morning checkout, said I was listed as a no show?
The room looked and smelled clean. This was not the best location, if you want the convention center there is still travel required.
And prRoom was nice. But the staff was very helpful
J'aime boucoup le location. J'aime pas de petit roms et parking.
Good location. Near shopping and the beach. Construction made accessing/finding front of hotel difficult. Hotel had no signs indicating where entrance was located and no street level signage visible. Confirmation emails did not indicate hotel was under construction. Room service would not take our breakfast order, weird.
Comfortable room. Nice bathroom. Price was too much.
Modern feel, staff friendly Parking 16$ extra per night! (Hidden cost) pool not heated and small. Did not like outlet mall being attached to hotel.
Very comfortable. Nice stay. Staff were friendly. Iron didn't work. Vanity mirror didn't work. One request from staff wasn't filled. No microwave.
Clean. Upscale. Comfortable Cost per night
Super clean and nice. The bed was so comfortable I didn't want to leave it. Beautiful pool deck on the roof where you can eat and relax. The shower was amazing. Super large.
Everything was great No shuttle service
Very convenient stay while attending the ISSE at the convention center. Very professional & attentive staff throughout my stay. No doubt under great management!
The "Check In" staff was wonderful, helpful, and made me feel welcome. The rooms were comfortable and I will mostly likely stay here again when I visit Long Beach, CA. The hotel is in a great location prior to cruising and/or enjoying the beach. Even though my parking fee was waived, I hope free parking becomes a standard practice.
one of the most amazing experience to stay at the host hotel for the long beach marathon. the hotel made sure that the guests who stayed at the hotel who participated in the events will receive a mini brown bag w/ goodies for the race. room did not come w/ a mini refrig nor any mini bar
Everything was nice, nice staff and very convenient to everything. The bathrooms were dirty and the shower absolutely was the worst one I've ever encountered.
Great Location to the Queen Mary and restaurants. Issues with wifi.
The view from the room was great & staff was great!
Got a great last minute deal on this hotel, worked out great. Perfect location near restaurants and shopping on the shore.
$26 parking for hotel guests. Receptionist just said "yeah, this is Long Beach"
It was clean. And staff was very kind . I paid in advance online for 2 Queen beds, and checking in at 5:30 we were told they only had a king! Then we go to park our cars and the spaces are like for Barbie's car !wayyyy to narrow spaces & posts that many cars have played tag with! The location is just ok...tO far from Pine Ave & 2nd Street where all the restaurants & shops are ! And they charge $15 per car per day to park in that horrible parking structure! They had NO shuttle for around town locally. The walls are thin, we had neighbors on both sides of us keeping us awake all night, laughing & partying!
The staff had no idea how to handle booking.com customers and treaded us like second class customers. The breakfast buffet is weird, it's one buffet for continental and american breakfast. As booking.com customer, you are not allowed to touch the american breakfast items.
Rooms were lovely and reception staff were very friendly
Are room was right next to the service elevators which kept us up all night long. Only thing the staff would do was discount the valet parking charges. Won't stay there again!
Excellent facilities. Very efficient service. Only one restaurant/ bar open in the evenings. No restaurants/ bar nearby. Consequently, service was slow.
The staff was rude and even lied about the rooms I booked. I had booked a room with double beds only and they gave us a king. I told them I had comfermation that it was double beds and they said it I could not find them and print it out, it was just too bad for me. Luckily, I did find it....it said double beds only....so they finally gave us the room. The staff person to.d me I booked a king...I I to.d him he was wrong and he hung up. It was a bad experience. I had to speak to the manager and the home office and print out the paper that promised me a double bed room before anything was done. Never had such a bad e perience.
Pillows and beds are perfect.
rely was normal hotel,nothing is spacial
helpful staff and the free shuttle
out dated beds
Upon check in the person at the desk was very friendly. On my first night of the stay, a group of college kids checked into the rooms opposite me & made a noise until after 2am in the morning. I had $75 taken off my credit card incase of damages & I am still awaiting the refund.
Staff was friendly and attentive. Bed was uncomfortable. No continental breakfast. No fridge.
Every thing was Great..Nice Rooms..Comfortable Beds..Staff were Amazing Resturant at the Hotel closed Early@10:00 Pm that sucks. Need More help in the Resturant area..Only 1 Person working all Bar for them.... I wanted to Jump in and Help LoL...
Stayed in a double for New Year's Eve. Upon check in the woman at the front desk was very friendly and quick with the check in as well as helpful by letting us know about the free shuttle that would take us to Pine Ave for NYE! Loved that the hotel provided this!! The room was clean and had plenty of mirrors and outlets which was good when there are 3 girls trying to get NYE ready. Very happy parking was also provided. Though we didn't use it, room had a microwave which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise.
The reception staff were lovely and always willing to help.
They were not organized enough to know how to find me in their reservations.
can using wireless by free of charge. I think it is not comfortable for stay and wireless slow.
It was close to our destination. We stayed one night and then went on a cruise. We stayed again one night when we returned and canceled the second night. The location was horrific, the staff were disorganized, unhelpful and argumentative. We left for breakfast and arrived back 30min prior to check-out to collect our things to discover we had been locked out and were told it was check-out time, so they had inactivated our key card! There were bars on the window, very poor insulation, holes (many) in the sheets and blanket, and poor water pressure.
the location of the hotel was great for the event i was attending it was relaxing i would come again .
The staff were absolutely first class. Vivian in the office was so patient with me when I kept troubling her because I was having problems connecting to Wi-Fi. We got there in the end. Like all the staff she was so polite and courteous at all times. This was a great place to stay for a few days.
Nothing!! @ all w/not recommend. Didn't like anything, w/not suggest this hotel to anyone, no elevator, had to pull luggage up the stairs, not even suitable for disabled people. Also didn't have any toiled paper when first checked in the hotel. Next day stay had (1) face towel for two people, but all other towels were available.
The room was very comfy, staff was very helpful Loud macinery outside our bedroom window woke us up
I had a roof over my head "Harbor view" was probably 20% of viewable area from room window. Other 80% was a corporate building about 40 feet away from the Courtyard hotel. Construction noise on the floor above mine sounded like a drumset above my room. Parking is $19. Only one room key worked. No room pictures on the website (as of 10/18/2015), so it's a roll of the dice on what you're getting since they are "renovating" rooms. Expensive, even for the basic room. Entire hotel smelled like they had experienced flooding/water damage. Very strong musty aroma.
When I went to check into my hotel they told me that they are full and don't have my room. I have already paid for the hotel yet they told me they don't have a room with two beds anymore and they only have one king bed room left. This left me speechless because how is it possible to sleep on a king bed with three guests. When I asked the front desk person to let me speak to the manager she tells me, i have to wait 30 minutes and she said that instead i could just take the king bed and be fine with it. Also, another thing she suggested was to get a refund if i don't wanna take the king size bedroom. It was HORRIBLE experience because they over book the revenue of the hotel and people like us gets left with no room.
The on site restaurant was very good. The wooden floors were not desirable because we could hear footsteps above us. One sliding glass door really didn't let in enough daylight.
Breakfast was very expensive, but also very good. No fridge, no ice machine on my floor, very dirty bath tub, uncomfortable bed, no outlets by mirror, outlets by bed did not work,
The staff was very helpful and nice. The price was high for what you get at the hotel. I have stayed in very nice hotels that offer a more luxurious feel. Also, there were protesters there outside the main entrance almost every morning around 0700. You could easily hear them and it was quite obnoxious.
Booked online for a room with a double bed. Reservation confirmation after booking the reservation snuck in "double or king." When we arrived at the hotel, there were no rooms with double beds and not even any rollaway beds. So I canceled the reservation. Kayak may not be the responsible provider, but when the website option selected is room with double beds and that's the primary reason for my selection of the particular hotel, they better have that kind of room available to backstop my booking. Otherwise, it's false advertising. I will think twice before using Kayak again to book a hotel room.
The hotel itself was beautiful, and edgy. Everything was an additional charge and expensive. I've stayed in NY and never thought i'd see pancakes sold at $15. I also would expect a hotel to include wi-fi. Water for $5???
Elevator music vapid & hilariously loud Wi Fi not free @ these prices? Told suite would have welcome basket w champagne--got nothing No newspaper weekends @ these prices?
Quiet Food
The best service ever from wonderful staff who really make me feel like a guest instead of a paying customer. That combined with a perfect location for Long Beach make the Varden a great choice. The rooms were a bit small and the window looked onto a brick wall.
The very friendly welcome. The location near animated street. The easy parking. Wi-fi service. The breakfast (very limited choice in a tiny room). The washbasin in the bathroom, much too small.
I have never had better service from any hotel even as a Platinum or Diamond Member of the big chains. The staff made my stay at the Varden nothing less than a pleasure.
Clean. Excellent staff. Would be good location if taking cruise the next day. Very small room and bed. Noisy door slaming with every entry went on all night long. Downtown location had traffic, sirens, light rail noises all night. Lacks double pane windows to keep out noise.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Although the design is modern, it is not practicle: 1. The small size of the sink and the shelf above it makes it very messy and difficult to brush teeth or shave. 2. Using the clothes hangers impedes the view of the TV! Finaly, the carpet was not clean. Within an hour of changing to new socks, the bottoms were black.
the staff at the Varden is absolutely incredible. The owner is almost always present, and the staff clearly follows his approach to making guests feel welcome - friendly, full service, helpful. They generally work hard to exceed every expectations. Whether offering a bottle of water, asking how things are going, or helping with printing boarding passes and finding a good restaurant, they make you feel welcome, and ensure that your trip goes smoothly - great service, great renovation of an old hotel, unique property, and close to everything you need (wonderful and diverse cuisine, convention center, big box stores, if needed, etc.) There is nothing to not like!!!
The staff. Parking lot for $10 next door. Really hated the smell of the hotel just walking through the door!! It was like child Poop!! Really...all over the place, for the 2 days we've spent there...I Don't know if there was any problem or what!It was really discouraging to go to the hotel...Rooms and beds are much smaller than they appear to be on the website!The bed is too soft, u wake up in the middle of the night with back pain...Very noisy door slamming with every entry, could even hear the snoring next door! The bathroom is so badly ! Too big area for the size of the room. Yet the shower is so claustrophobic! But what I really hated about the hotel was the smell...I Am really sorry but I would recommend this hotel.
Andrea and the rest of the staff were just great. Everyone tried very hard -- Very tight quarters...couldn't brush your teeth w/o hitting your head on the shelf. Tv too high (but very nice way up there), neck ache like hospital bed. No elevator for disabled people like me-you should definitely point this out on your website. Making a fuss after the fact makes the disabled person feel embarrassed. No bathtub.
Central to downtown long beach and the convention center. This staff here were all so nice and helpful. Orlando and Tracy (I think that's her name, smaller woman with a cute accent) were especially helpful while checking in. Rooms are cozy and AC was cold! They have a cute little lounge area where they offer wine certain hours of the day! I drank an entire bottle my first night. Great experience, my boyfriend and I will most definitely be staying here next time we come for a convention. Shower heads are a little intense. maybe too high?
It is a restored historic building - remodeled in a clean, hip, Euro style.The staff was friendly and professional. Included an evening wine tasting and continental breakfast. The location is still rough. Some homeless and undesirables hang around the street. As rehab continues, the problem will improve.
Excellent - I coulde not fault the Hotel - Hope to visit again next year!
The rooms are really clean, cosy. Hotel staff's really welcoming and helpful. The price is maybe be expensive.
On Pacific Coast Hwy in Long Beach
My room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was central. There wasn't an elevator. The outside walkways were dirty and the trash cans were always full of trash. The parking lot is difficult to drive through because of the numerous gulleys across the lot.
Room cleanliness Wide beds Broken coffee machine. 11 am checkout
The Chinese restaurant, good value excellent meals. Parking space
I stayed there on 9/10 in room 129A. Ever since my stay I've been itching. When I told the hotel about my stay and seeing bugs on the bed in the AM; they denied the problem. Any help with getting rid of the itches and legal actions? Thx!
The location was easily accessible to the freeway and downtown areas. Quiet stay and comfortable amenities. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
Cigarette butts all over stairs -and next to doors. Dead cockroaches on landing of stairs. Yuck. Breakfast buffet very mediocre. Cold eggs and sausage. Area needed cleaning. Coffee not good
Nothing. Stayed there on a Friday night and the music from restaurant/club across the street was blaring till about 2am. Bathroom was practically in disrepair. Sink faucet knob turned all the way around and didn't stop-- you had to find the sweet spot to turn it off. Tub drain plug was laying outside drain. Location was sketchy. Key card didn't work at the back entrance, so I had to walk all the way around. When I told the front desk person that I needed a new key card, he said I didn't-- it worked everywhere else except the back door.
Reasonably priced, close to nearby restaurants, coffee shops, bus station and attractions. Awoke in the middle of one of the nights to a honking car in the parking lot. Lots of traffic noise in this location. Poor breakfast choices. No air conditioning in the hallways.
The staff was great. A very clean hotel. This hotel is out dated. Needs paint and upgraded bathrooms. Carpet is worn so it looks dirty, which it isnt. It also needs more parking. Has one third that it needs. Our car was three deep. Also this is not the best neighborhood!!! Y-fi didn't work most of the time. The continental breakfast could be upgraded also. 2 cerals, coffee, juice, bananas and chocolate chip mini-muffins. That was it.
Cheap, friendly, close to town. No TP in the room upon arrival, clearly layers of carpetting piled on each other, desk clerk lost four fingers on one hand.
Location was good. Bed was fixed and clean. Welcoming enough. Facilities and rooms need updating. Rust on anything metal and needs new paint. For just an overnight stay it was fine but not for a vacation stay.
The room was a good size, but that's about where the compliments end. Some of the staff were very friendly, but there seemed to be some neglect of keeping things on track at the front desk. *see the rest of my review* The parking was inadequate to say the least. The flooring in the bathroom was coming up in several places. The beds were VERY loud, so not great when you're trying not to wake up everyone else in the room when you move any bit. The breakfast, while I didn't expect much, was even worse then expected. There was only apples, bananas, some prepackaged danishes, mini super sweet chocolate chip muffins, 2 types of cereal in some plastic storage containers to pour from, and then the breakfast drink in a fountain drink style machine. The pool was unheated, not that I really expected it to be, and for some reason, you weren't allowed to get back to your room, after going in the pool, using the elevator. The walls of the hallway had air pockets in the paint. It seemed like it needed a renovation about 10+ years ago and they're still putting it off. Windows don't really do much to keep out sound or air. The AC never got the room cool at night even when we had it at 60° the entire stay. The elevator was very janky and made weird noises as it slowly moved. There were so many things wrong, I'm sure I'm forgetting many. Also, while I was there, someone came out of the elevator smoking a lit cigarette which made the elevator just a cloud of smoke. I have asthma and smoke highly affects me and I was shocked. I braved the elevator with my shirt over my face and trying to hold my breath as long as possible since I was on the top floor and wasn't able to take the stairs. I then went straight to my room to call the front desk so they could do something about it, and the line was busy. I assumed it was still busy down there seeing as I just came from there, so waited a few minutes and tried again, and got the same thing. I tried a few more times over the next 15-20 minutes and it was a busy tone the whole time. I could see the front desk from my room's window and so I checked to see if it was really that busy right then, and it looked empty other than the worker behind the desk. I saw the guy there not on the phone and had called right before and after I looked out the window and still got nothing. As it was already almost 10 and my friends had already gone to bed; I couldn't keep calling the front desk. When I told them in the morning at check out, they basically said that there is nothing they can do about what people choose to do when they know they're not supposed to do said thing. Maybe they could've if they'd picked up the phone and not left it off the hook. They had video camera too. This seems neglectful of them. I will not be going back for many reasons and do not recommend to others.
It was disgusting! Bathroom was dirty. No wifi connection
The pool was closed and their idea of continental breakfast was cereal and bananas. :(
Checking Out There was no power when we got there so we were given candles to light the rooms. No electricity for two days. Roomed smelled and the candles they gave us smelled worse.
nothing everything cancelled our reservations I would never consider staying at the Vagabond. The male at the desk was very inconsiderate. No customer service.
It was a great deal, close enough to the convention center, the room was big and nice.
Nothing Unclean, bad service,not recommended to stay

Nearly Invisible Solutions for Every Lifestyle
We Guide You Every Step of the Way
Purchasing a hearing aid is not a decision to be made lightly. So it's assuring to know that with Miracle-Ear® you're working with the brand America trusts. From the first personalized consultation, you'll see that our priority is to listen, and to work together with you to address your specific hearing needs. We'll make sure to find the solution to match your unique lifestyle. Our large selection of hearing aids is designed to help you hear your best every day.
Setting the Standard in Hearing Solutions
The technology of hearing has advanced enormously in the past few years, and Miracle-Ear technology sets the standard in hearing solutions. Miracle-Ear offers a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles so you can choose the one that best fits your lifestyle.
Our Newest Technology
GENIUS™ Technology includes incredible new features, allowing you to enjoy more natural sound quality wherever life takes you:
- Directional Focus helps you hear front and center, blocking unwanted noise around you
- Wireless Windscreen takes away the wind noise, allowing other sounds to be heard more clearly
- VoiceTarget 360 zeroes in on the people and conversations you want to hear in any direction
- HD2Sound processes sound the same way your brain does naturally, because two ears are better than one!
GENIUS™ Technology is available in the following hearing aid styles:
Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
This is the most traditional model: a small, curved case that fits behind the ear with a thin, transparent tube that runs into the ear canal.
Open-fit Behind-The-Ear (BTE)
This is a smaller BTE with an "open-fit" that sits inside the ear canal yet prevents the ears from feeling occluded or plugged-up.
Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC)
Molded to fit deep within the ear, CICs are nearly invisible and tend to pick up less external (e.g. wind) noise because they're protected by the ear itself.
In-The-Ear (ITE)
This small device is worn inside the outer ear and designed to match the wearer's skin tone.
In-The-Canal (ITC)
Smaller than an ITE and very discreet, the ITC fits partly into the ear canal.
It's amazing what our new technology could do for you!
