    Combo Alarm Clock / Charging Station , if your room lacks it then just request it be installed.
    Joseph A.

    2nd stay this February. Hotel is busy but not uncomfortable with a large lounge that serves as the breakfast dinning room, plenty of guest parking though that comes with a fee. comfortable rooms and a professional staff were encountered. During my latest stay the elevator bank nearest my 4th floor room had broken, but a technician was dispatched and the issue resolved before I had returned from dinner. My room also lacked their combo Alarm Clock / Power Charging unit, upon my request was installed that evening. It's a great device with USB and Plug outlets this should be in all rooms, but request if it's missing. Check Out 11:00am , Check In 4:00pm. Coffee & Hot Water / Teas are always in the lobby. Nice Breakfast of Meats, Eggs, Hash browns, Cereals, Waffles, Muffins, Juices etc on this morning 6:00am to 9:00am but confirm hours during your stay. Another happy stay and will be back.

    Bright and clean location that seems to be a recent build. This is a Hampton-Homewood combo where half the rooms are suites and the other half are regular rooms. Interesting enough that when you check-in they have a credit card machine for Hampton and another for Homewood. The room was pretty standard but felt very clean. I liked that there were a lot of places to plug in my chargers/cpap/laptop. There were usb-a slots in those places as well (no usb-c). The bathroom door is a barn door style that when closed reveals the closet. I kept clipping my bags when I tried to open the door though or would put a shopping bag there and forget to push it all the way in. I had two rooms, one facing out and one facing the pool. Pool seemed to be the better view. It comes with free breakfast but unfortunately I wasn't able to try it out. The pool deck was big, with a large jacuzzi and then a fairly big pool (big enough for laps in my opinion). 5ft at the deep end and 3.5 feet at the shallow. Towels are available from the front desk (you have to check out and in towels) I wasn't able to get a late check-out but the front desk said I'd get like 20-30 mins grace. 11am, knock knock! They are really on it for trying to turn rooms over. I did have an issue on my second night with the card reader on my room. A person from the front desk had to come by and hook a battery up to the reader to get it to open. Overall a positive experience and I would stay here again and try the breakfast.

    Road noise is pretty loud, and it made it hard to sleep, which is the main reason we would choose to stay elsewhere next time. On the positive side, the location is very convenient to the airport, and there are plenty of food options nearby with LBX and several other eateries. The hotel itself was clean, and even though we had the smallest basic room, it was adequate and functional. There were lots of outlets for charging devices, and the shower had great water pressure and reliably hot water. The front desk agent who checked us in was great--friendly and helpful. The staff member who handled our checkout and also drove the shuttle, however, was not very pleasant. She did not offer to help with our luggage and had a noticeably negative attitude, which did not feel very hospitable. There are some signs of wear in the room, and the AC/heating controls were a bit tricky to figure out, though that can be the case at many hotels. We didn't get a chance to try the breakfast since we had to leave before it was served. One other downside was the mobile data signal; our phones stayed on LTE and never picked up 5G inside the hotel, though stepping outside in certain areas improved the connection. Overall, it's a nice, clean property in a convenient location, but the road noise and a less-than-friendly checkout experience mean we'll likely choose a different hotel next time.

    Loved this hotel. We stayed at the Hampton Inn for a conference and our experience here was great throughout the 4 days. Hotel was clean, room was clean, and the staff were so friendly. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful for not only the hospitality of the staff, but I felt safe, and very comfortable here. This is how staying at a hotel should feel like. The room was on the 3rd floor and it was quiet. Everything worked as it should and the beds were comfortable. The other hotel guests were also very polite which was really refreshing. Parking was very easy and it's so close to Whole Foods and a bunch of eateries. I would 100% stay here again next time I am in the area. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

    Beautiful Hampton Inn. I stayed here while in Long Beach and it was a great experience. They have a lobby coffee and tea station daily and free breakfast. The staff is super customer service oriented and the large lobby area is always clean and welcoming. My room was clean, comfortable, and very pleasing. I would definitely stay here again.

    Stayed here one night before a cruise departing out of World Cruise Center. This is probably the nicest Hampton inn I've ever stayed at. Staff was very friendly. Beds were really comfy. TVs had great stations and lots of Hbo! The grounds are really spacious and lots of stuff to do including chess and cornhole. Didn't stop by for breakfast or deal with parking, so no idea. Would definitely stay again

    Long story short, this location has bed bugs. Check all of your items and the bed. Luckily I caught it before I fully unpacked.

I put a lot of trust in their word since they've previously stayed at this specific hotel a few times and they choice was perfect. Driving from the bay to Southern California was a whole trip in itself with two kids and the last thing we wanted to do was to rush the moment we got in the car and into the hotel. That being said, we decided to stay two nights prior to embarkation day. We wanted to walk in, get settled after the 7 (=/-) hour drive and relax. The hotel had everything we needed - a full kitchen, a clean and perfectly running shower, clean and comfortable beds and a wonderful view. The proximity of the hotel to the port was perfect. All eight of us were able to get our belongings together and not stress on getting parking. The continental breakfast was great as well. The staff was beyond amazing and during one of our nights we were able to watch the UFC fight downstairs in the lobby with a crew of construction workers. One of the staff attendants gave my girls crayons and coloring paper. She sat down and helped them with their art and it was honestly precious.

Checking in was a breeze in-person but you can also do it via mobile if you're in a hurry or don't want to wait. There's a private hotel parking garage and valet parking so you have a choice in how bougie you want to be (both will cost you). We self-parked but honestly didn't even go back to the car until it was time to leave - this hotel is quite centrally located and walkable to everything you could want in downtown Long Beach! We got a king bed with a city waterfront view. The room itself was clean for the most part but there were stains on the bed sheets, bathroom walls and towels. Wee bit gross, but compared to some other horrific places we've stayed at, it's still passable. The bathroom has some really weak water pressure, so get comfy and be prepared to really take your time taking a shower to get all the soap/shampoo out. The room comes with a small fridge and coffee maker but no microwave, so if you want to reheat/nuke anything you have to use the microwave next to the ice machine in the hallway. We were on the 8th floor and we quickly found out that the walls are really thin - you can hear your neighbors, people walking in the hallway, and anyone in the pool area quite clearly. The room came with double shades, which is great for keeping the light out. Unfortunately, they're also on the older side and require some effort to open/close them. We got a scare when our neighbor opened/closed their shades - it was so loud/creaky that it sounded like someone was trying to break into our window. There's a bar downstairs in the lobby along with a market/kitchen if you want to get your eats/drinks on. Plenty of tables around if you want to get out of your room for a bit. We ordered room service for breakfast and ordered in-person at the market for a late dinner. For breakfast, we had a breakfast burrito and huevo rancheros. For dinner, we had chicken tenders with side wedges and a burger with side tater tots. It's convenient if you don't want to worry about going out for food since they have a pretty decent menu (naturally all of the food/drinks are overpriced but that's a given with any hotel). The pool is open late which is great if you don't want to get sunburned during the day (there's no shade whatsoever in the pool or hot tub). If you go for a night swim, you also won't have to fight for cabanas as there are fewer people around. The hotel provides complementary towels once you get down there, so all you need is your room card to access as many towels as you need. The pool is heated though, so it's not as refreshing as you would think on those hot summer days. We saw a cockroach scurrying around the cabanas/poolside chairs when we got there so maybe play it safe and keep your shoes off the ground. Overall it's not the worst hotel we've stayed at but nowhere near any of the best. It's perfectly adequate/decent if you're going to the convention center, Queen Mary, Aquarium of the Pacific, etc. The lack of cleanliness, paper thin walls, and weak water pressure are turn-offs though. We only stayed here because it's literally steps away from the convention center.

I really want to give this place more than 3 stars, and in reality it probably deserves only 2. But I had a few great customer service interactions that won me over, even in a not so accommodating situation. Upon a busy check in right about 5:00 PM on a Saturday in the summer time, we were notified that the AC in the hotel is out. (Side note it had been out since Tuesday and no one notified us until now) We were traveling with our bulldog so this was a huge deal and I immediately asked to be placed at another Hilton property. Art at the front desk was very kind and accommodating. He offered a room with a window that opens as well as a patio, so there would be a constant airflow. He also said if we weren't happy we could come back down for a full refund. Art in general was beyond gracious. We chose to stay, as the sun was going down, and when you're close to water it gets pretty cool even in the hottest months. We had some drinks at the bar and tried to make the best of it. The bartender was also kind and working hard in the heat! All was well considering the circumstances. Until midnight when all of the building alarms started going off every few minutes. We were only staying one night for a relaxing day away with our dog on the beach, and because of this property we definitely did not receive that. I've had to open a case for a refund, which seems crazy to me. As an honors member I definitely thought it would be offered without hesitation, and possibly even more compensation. Unfortunately this was not the situation. For a property with a great location, it needs a deep cleaning and a few updates immediately. With that, I'd consider returning.

The coppery exterior and surrounding landscaping looked sharp on arrival. Valet was prompt and helpful with luggage. I arrived early. They offered a room immediately but said waiting a short time would get me a better one, so I left the bags with bell service. Like every other hotel I've stayed at, they said they would call when the room was ready. They never did. I had to return to the front desk and ask. It was ready. This has happened at every property that makes the same promise. I actually have a dedicated hundred dollar bill sitting lying dormant in my wallet awaiting the first hotel employee that actually calls me when my room is ready. It will be all theirs when they do; and I will recognize them for being the first ever to have done so in my personal decades of staying in hotels...! The room was nicely done and elegantly decorated. The linens were excellent and the bed was comfortable. I had a city view rather than water, which was fine. Public areas (lobby, bar, restaurant) ran warm in the summer with the large glass and cavernous volumes, but the room air conditioning worked decent and kept a good room temperature. One detail I really appreciated and wish more hotels would incorporate: a filtered water station next to the ice machine. Location worked well for the business meetings I had the next morning. I've been a long-time Hilton Diamond member, but Marriott properties like this one are starting to pull me over on overall quality. Solid stay once in the room, with a few operational misses that keep it in the 3.5 to 4 star range for me.

    Very disappointing stay and absolutely not what I expect from a hotel at this price point…read more The biggest issue was the air conditioning. You cannot set the room to a specific temperature and have it maintain that temperature. The AC shuts off, and by morning our room was 75 degrees, which made sleeping extremely uncomfortable. The pillows were also terrible. The feathers were clumped into certain areas, so we spent the night constantly trying to fluff and readjust them just to get comfortable. The bathroom was extremely small, outdated, and visibly run-down. Overall, the room simply did not feel like the quality you would expect from a hotel in this category. Then, at 6:47 a.m., while our entire family was asleep, someone knocked on our door asking if we had ordered pillows. We said no, but instead of apologizing and leaving, they continued questioning us: "So, you didn't order pillows?" Being woken up before 7 a.m. for something we never requested was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. Parking is another disappointment: $49 per night, while parking directly across the street is around $20 overnight. We stay at nice hotels regularly, so we have a reasonable idea of what to expect at this price level. Unfortunately, this has been by far one of our worst hotel experiences. Between the uncomfortable room temperature, poor bedding, outdated bathroom, early-morning disturbance, and excessive parking fee, this stay has been a major disappointment.

The room's thermostat, however, is in Centigrade so do brush up on your metric system! My only real criticism was that the room safe did not open all the way as the closet door blocked its full opening. The top floor has a nice sitting area to relax and there is a quaint workout room and pool area. There is also a sauna which I did not use.

We were SO excited to book a stay on the iconic Queen Mary for a fun weekend getaway. Picture it: historic ship, cool vibes, maybe even a ghost or two! What we didn't picture, however, was spending hours of our precious Saturday night in a bewildering, frustrating, and utterly avoidable parking saga. First off, absolutely NOWHERE did we see a warning about no on-site parking. Seriously, how is that not front and center when you're booking? We arrived, full of anticipation, only to hit a wall of traffic for over 30 minutes thanks to the cruise terminal. Annoying, but whatever, we're almost there, right? WRONG. We finally get to check-in, ready to drop our bags and explore, and that's when they casually drop the bombshell: "Oh, you can't park here overnight. You need to park in downtown Long Beach, about two miles away." Two miles?! And then it got even crazier. They didn't give us an actual address, just a blurry picture of what the lot *might* look like and an "approximate location." They told us to look for employees if we had questions. Spoiler alert: no employees were found in the confusing labyrinth that is downtown Long Beach parking. We called the front desk, hoping for some clarity. The first guy said, "Yeah, you can park here overnight." Relief! But then, he immediately contradicted himself, "Oh, wait, not if you're staying more than one night." What?! We kept circling, getting more and more lost and frustrated. Another call, another person, this time suggesting the convention center parking - a place that had never been mentioned before. Are we on a scavenger hunt, or trying to check into a hotel? By this point, it was getting late, we were hangry, and just wanted to be done. We finally flagged down a shuttle driver who, bless his heart, suggested the Pike parking garage. Fine, we'll pay, just get us there! But guess what? No parking available there either. At 9 PM, defeated and utterly exhausted, we threw in the towel. We gave up on the Queen Mary and booked a last-minute room at the Marriott downtown Long Beach. And let me tell you, the service there was absolutely second to none. They were welcoming, helpful, and actually had a place for us to park! The next day, still wanting to experience *something* Queen Mary related, I'd booked a haunted tour. Guess what happened when we showed up? "No parking for the tour, you'll need to park downtown." AGAIN. Seriously, Queen Mary, this is a major issue that needs to be communicated CLEARLY and consistently. Because of this entire ridiculous experience, we will absolutely not recommend the Queen Mary for an overnight stay, nor will we ever stay there again. Do better, Queen Mary. You're a beautiful, historic ship, but your guest experience, especially around something as basic as parking, is completely unacceptable.

There was dust and grime buildup on all of the ledges, stains, crumbs, hair, dust, along the bed frame and in the crevices of the chair. just no attention to detail at all. we did contact the owner and opted to leave and were provided a full refund, but the kind of build up that was in that room was either from a long term stay that wasn't cleaned up properly or just terrible cleaning over and over. side note: wifi signal was not good, bedding was bare minimum and no hand towels or face cloths provided. I'm not looking to trash the owners, I just don't want anyone to be in the same situation we were, having to look for another place last minute after a long day of traveling, I was almost in tears, plus I had to pay way more to stay somewhere else because there weren't a lot of options.

    I've been to Long Beach a few times this past year for conferences and events and usually am…read morestaying at the big box hotels that are immediately adjacent to the Convention Center (like the Hyatt Regency, The Renaissance, The Westin) but I was late to the game to reserve a room this time and missed getting the discounted conference block rate. So rather than pay an astronomical fee for the privilege of proximity, I did a quick search of the area. There are plenty of options, but many of them just seemed suspect. The I came across the Varden. Definitely a boutique hotel, but definitely worth checking out. The rooms are typically small with barely room for a bed, a partial desk and a small bathroom area. But the room was extremely clean, the fixtures and bed were new and cool and for one person, really perfect. Particularly since other than sleeping and checking emails, what else do you really need? Well, for starters you need to feel safe. And this place does a great job of securing the facility at night, but you don't feel you're in a bad neighborhood anyway. You also might like to enjoy a welcoming attitude, and the staff and place has plenty of that. The young staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Being forewarned that the property has 3 levels and no elevator is important, but honestly, it's not a tough climb to floor 3. And as a testament at how great the staff are, they wouldn't take no, and they carried my bags to my 3rd floor room. Since I was there for meetings, I needed to press my clothes, so a call to the front desk resulted in a brand new Iron and Board appearing at my room within minutes. And being welcomed by a reception with snacks, wine and drinks between 5:00 - 7:00 everyday, is just super nice. They also do a continental breakfast from 6:00-9:00 daily. They have a hip space right behind the registration area for these treats so it's easy to walk through on your way in/out of the property. And best of all the price per night was less than 1/2 of what those big chain hotels were charging. And I was less than 4 blocks (and a very nice walk past lots of local stores/restaurants to give me a feel for the area) from the Convention Center. For all these reasons, if you're in Long Beach solo, I would highly recommend you check out the Varden.
