Hotel Maya, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel

A great value for a beautiful hotel!

A beautiful location, and a great price for such well apported rooms!

Definitely an improvement

I've stayed at this hotel many times over the last ten years as it changed ownership and management. In it's previous incarnations it was affordable and had a certain quirky charm but was definitely showing it's age. The new remodel is stunning. Comfortable seating areas abound. The outdoor patio area has tripled in size. The pool is gorgeous and bordered on one side by cabanas. The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds incredibly comfortable and decked out with an assortment of pillows. My complaints about the room are minimal and may be ironed out with time. There was no hotel information book in the room making it difficult to determine exactly which services were available and when. The in-room coffee tasted like burnt plastic and was not hot. Finally, the room key is set to deactivate exactly at noon as determined by their clock. I returned to the room after breakfast at 11:55 to get my things and check out and my key wouldn't work. As I was walking back to the lobby building to fix the issue, the noon horn blew on the Queen Mary so I know my watch was working. Obviously, the hotel clock was a little fast. Either way I feel that the key should at least have a 15 minute window. The food at the restaurant was amazing when ordered off the regular menu but they only offered a buffet for breakfast and it left a lot to be desired. It was very limited and didn't include a mimosa or bloody mary which I desperately needed when I discovered that the restaurant coffee was only a step above dirty water and they didn't have an espresso machine. The bar had an amazing assortment of tequila and made their own margarita mix so I highly recommend the margaritas. It also looked like they might have a bar at the pool but it was never open so we couldn't tell for sure. The other drawback at the pool is that there was no towel service. They put out one towel on every chair at the beginning of the day and if someone took an extra from another chair you were out of luck, It was al

Awesome Hotel

We stayed at hotel maya towards the end of june and it was great. It was a little harder to find but it could be because we came from colorado but it was right on the bay, within 10-15 minutes from the beach and downtown long beach, and the weather was perfect. The hotel Queen mary is right next door ( alittle pricey) so it was nice to admire it. the only down side was we got a little lost going to the beach and found there was a fine line between the nice downtown and the not-so-nice downtown. All in all though the hotel was clean, modern, the bed was VERY comfortable and I can't wait to go back!

Great Hotel, but ask about your surroundings

I chose this hotel based upon several friends recommendations. They all stayed at the hotel many, many, many times. I arrived and checked into the hotel with no problems. I was in building #4 (room 4412). There is a city presure release value that makes a high (extremely loud) pitched sound every 15 seconds and does not stop for 1 hour - stop and begins the next hour. I called the front desk and they were aware of this issue, but failed and would not provide this information until a complaint is made. I had to change rooms at 11:30 pm after complaining. The next day I had to complain 3 times regarding a very large party in the next room. I had to sign a form stating I would not have a party in my room, but I had to complain 3 times at 11:15, 11:30, and 11:45 pm to get the hotel to make the 6 - 8 people in the room to vacate. Other than the above, the hotel stay was good. I had boat access as my boating friends could pick me up to view the 4th of July fireworks on the water.

Awesome Hotel for the money!

Rooms were very nicely decorated and remodeled. Great price for the quality and presentation of the room.The Hotel is going major remodeling on the outside but I did not have any problem with noise. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Thank you.

Beautiful hotel except for guest noise

Beautiful hotel rooms, stylish with modern technology like flat panel TV, wireless service, etc. Outstanding view of Long Beach harbor and downtown skyline. Remodeling construction had to be "worked around" but wasn't bad. Problem: hotel guests "partied" all night long; this noise was way out of line for a high quality hotel.

Weekend Stay-cation

Hotel under some construction, but staff very accomodating when we requested a room away from contruction. Overall very pleasant stay and recommend the Hotel.

I'm going to stay there again!

I really liked this hotel! We stayed for a festival at Shoreline Village and I thought because of the construction going on it would make our stay uncomfortable but it actually didnt. I actually didnt notice it that much. I loved the room which was clean and had a beatiful view of the docks, downtown Long Beach, and the Queen Mary. The room was trendy and updated and was rather large. The ONLY thing I did not like about the place is when I called on Sunday to see if I can get an early check in, I received total attitude from one of the girls at the front desk. But, I guess I can understand that since it was very busy that day? Oh well. But anyway, this place rocks! You get a free shuttle to Downtown and back and it's worth it! I recommend it to all my friends for next year's festival!

Nice View

The Hotel Maya was very relaxing. Although there was construction going on they did not start to early. We had a view overlooking the water very peaceful. Would of been nice to have a restaurant, the coffee that was served was weak, need stronger coffee. But over all it was a great stay.
