Opened May 28th, 1962 by Long Beach City Councilman Robert Crow (Mr. C).
The Outrigger Inn Motor Hotel had A-frame structures with many tikis, surrounding a courtyard with a pool. There was some lush landscaping, including a waterfall.
The hotel housed Mr. C's restaurant, which served "Polynesian, Cantonese and American cuisine."
The entryway of Mr C's featured an 11' tall statue of the Goddess Pele in tiki form, carved from monkeypod, weighing 1,800 pounds and holding a giant clam shell. Carved by Guy Wilson of Oceanic Arts.
Mr. C's appears to have been open for business as late as 1975.
The property has been extensively remodeled, and as of 2024 is home to the Hotel Current Long Beach.
