Queen Mary Hotel

Great time overall

We were impressed with the view of long beach from the little porthole windows. Parking should have been included with stay. We ate a restaurant there and they put meat in my dish after i ordered a dish w/o meat (i'm a vegetarian) but they quickly remedied the situation and did not charge me for the dish. My only issue was that my husband left a sweater in the closet of our room and getting it back has been near impossible (its been four days and I have not gotten a definitive answer as to the whereabouts of said sweater.) So overall a great time, just don't leave anything behind!

A great old ship

Staying on the Queen Mary, was like staying in a Maritime Museum. We enjoyed the room, and all of the original hardware. We paid to take a tour of the ship, which for the small price, was WELL worth it. We had dinner in the Ship's Seafood Restaurant... very likely the best seafood we have ever had.

Charming and Historical

This is a great hotel to stay at for only a night or two unless you book one of the larger rooms. The standard room for 2 occupants was very small, not much larger than the double bed but it was very charming and being on The Queen Mary at least once is a definite must do experience. They gave us the bay view which was very nice and I got perfect photos of the sunrise and the bay. The Cafe Promenade was elegant, the twilight tour was fascinating and the little shops are very charming. You must pay to park and use the internet (the computer doesn't have a mouse only a ball for scrolling and keys that are for a click of the mouse but are not identified). There is not much water pressure in the shower but it is a charming tub and bathroom, the whole history of the ship is fascinating. The free public shuttle (bus) will take you right from the parking lot to the Aquarium, Shoreline Village, and up Pine Ave where there are a few shops and restaurants.

Quaint but uncomfortable.

The rooms were small and very loud. The walls are so thin that it sounds like the neighbors are in the same room. Do not stay here if you're a light sleeper.

Good Food and Military Friendly

Hotel front desk is very helpful and the food was surprisingly good at the restaurants on site.

Great Antique hotel

It was a great experience to be on a historical boat and to actualy experience the hotel for myself I will surely do it again

had a port hole window to Downtown Long Beach and the Ocean

The Hotel was great but could hear so clear from the other rooms that was that i did not like but besides that everything was great

outstanding hotel

this hotel was very nice. There were so many things to see and the view is awesome. There was a live band playing & we enjoyed the music. It was relaxing and the staff was very friendly. I would love to stay here again.

Art Deco History

Do not expect state of the art rooms, you are checking into a OLD hotel, but the rooms are clean and linens clean! Our first room was very old but the furniture and fixtures were all original and in the Art Deco style that my Husband and myself love..we had to be moved because they were doing some repair work. That was handled very well and we were given a complimentary breakfast for our trouble. Very professional. Staff SUPER NICE!!!!! Free shuttle to across the bay convenient and easy to figure out. You can park you car and take the shuttle across the bay to eat and shop and wander Longbeach to your hearts content and never have to drive! Cost to stay here comparable to staying at most hotels but you get to stay on a piece of history. The charge for parking is too expensive in our opinion though. Ate there once (free breakfast) not overly impressed. The Staff LOVE their Hotel and will share stories. This is a cool thing.Refreshing..people that love their jobs! Fun wandering around the Ship...She is a Beauty..

So fun!

Really neat piece of floating history. This was my second time staying here and I can't wait to go again. The Chelsea is a really good restaurant! :)

Unique experience,

Definitely worth experiencing, but one night is probably enough. Go to Sunday buffet so you can experience the original grand dining room. Beds not particularly comfortable and room was small (which, heck, it is a ship's room) but ambiance was worth it. If you are cruising out of Long Beach, this would be a fun place to stay the night if you fly in a day early. But by the end of a cruise, you'd probably be over wanting to be on a boat in a small room. For dining, go over to Parker's Lighthouse (you can see it from the ship). Super friendly staff and plenty of areas to explore on the ship. Some really cool and unique stores on the lobby level- including a shake place that makes every kind of shake imaginable, yum!
