Bassy are you still going to L.A. in a month? Did you buy anime tickets? If you are going to book a room do it through the anime expo site as they are about $100 or more LESS then if you book the hotel direct.
Wow, that is inexpensive a night! I think Long Beach is closer to an hour from downtown L.A. Tickets for anime expo have really gone up in price...I remember when a day pass was $25 ! LOL even Disneyland is over $100 now.
Haven't been to Long Beach in awhile, I forget what's around there.
Be prepared for triple digit temps in July!! Will be nice at the ocean!
