    Maddy R.

    LOVED the stay here! we were pleasantly suprised by how nice the room and amenities were. the bed in the room was delightful, and i sunk right into it. the room also had a nice large shower and a large window that opened up along a busy street which i enjoyed. one of my favorite parts of this place was the location because it is within walking distance from the mall, the beach, multiple coffee shops, and a theatre. many other things too! the theme of this place is "ship" i think because there were many decorations that looked like it would be apart of a boat. lastly, there is a nice courtyard with fun games to play, along with seating area. this would be a great area for kids or lounging. i would definitely stay here again!!

    Stayed here for a one night staycation and had a wonderful time. As Hyatt discoverists, we got upgraded to a mini suite and everything was great - bed was super plush, cozy, and comfortable. Loved the spacious rain shower with excellent water pressure. Staff were so friendly and hospitable. The hotel was also walking distance to so many things. It was a perfect one night staycation. Long Beach has really come a long way from years ago!

    Great location at Pike Place! Walking distance to shopping, food, drinks, beach, and shoreline! Clean and big room with a very comfortable bed. If you get late night munchies, there is a small store in the hotel lobby to buy snacks. Our room in particular had a noise coming from the vent, which had been fixed.

    This is a great location if you are going to the convention center, only about 2 blocks away. Right next to the Pike outlet mall, which can get pretty busy. It was pretty noisy over the weekend. They were having some issues with one of the elevators so it took a long time to get an elevator. Almost got stuck on the elevator one night. The room was nice but the beds had lights on the bed frame that had a motion sensor. It's a nice feature for getting up in the dark but it's extremely sensitive so several times I rolled over in bed and it went off and the light from the bed next to me was shining in my face. The restaurant is good, had breakfast a couple of times there.

    The view is the only thing worth going for. The bar was ok. The drinks were meh & WAY over priced.

    I stayed for one night and checked in on the app before arriving. I parked at the parking Pike parking garage right next to the hotel ($16/night). As soon as I arrived I was greeted by an attentive man at the front desk. I got my room key, headed up to my room, which was clean and quiet. The rain shower was amazing and had great water pressure. Bed and pillows were also very comfortable!

    Hyatt at Pike has it all. It is in a great location, close to shopping and the heart of Long Beach, and within walking distance of some decent restaurants (and a Starbucks). It's also within Uber/Lyft distance of the Long Beach region, so you get to enjoy Belmont Shores, a bit of Huntington Beach and some of Torrance if you do not have transportation or choose not to drive. And for those traveling via cruise, it is an ideal location -- and on the right side of the bay. The hotel doesn't offer its own parking. There is a paid parking lot across the street, so park in the loading zone out front to check in and unload. You have to pay every time you exit, and the cost for 24 hour is about $25. Note: There are several hotel options closer to the Port of Long Beach but if you want to enjoy some of the life before you head out on your cruise, that's not where you want to be. This side of the bay is where you want to be -- again, for the convenience I mentioned above. The king suite is comfortable enough. On the smaller size with no sections, however. So if you prefer some privacy from your room companion(s) while traveling, this is not the hotel for you. In-room amenities are sparse. You do get a mini cooler (not a fridge) and a coffee maker. But not micro and no kitchenettes here. You can, however, order a mini fridge -- which I did. But it was never delivered. The staff, however, is mostly attentive and accommodating. One surprise is that there is a bellhop here, and he is serious about the job! He will take the cart and load without you asking, and he must accompany you to your room. Old school traditional. Wasn't expecting that here, so be sure to have tip cash on the ready. Same with the restaurant and bar. You will be in good hands if you have a chance to be served by Richard. The restaurant is not full service, as in I would not plan a dinner here (though the breakfast menu has solid offerings). It's a great in-between place: a lounge before you go out on the town and a relaxing space if you don't want to spend time in your room, but would rather be mellow with a beverage and treat with a book. The pool (heated to about 85 degrees) is on the 8th floor, and has the best views. In fact, I don't believe there are any bay or ocean views from the rooms here. I requested one and was told that the construction as of late obstructs views. More on the pool: There is a shower, restrooms, cabanas (at no cost to use) and a pool bar (which was not open during the off season). As for costs -- it's pricey. It's Long Beach. It's California. Even with all the benefits, I cannot justify the cost, but it was a comfortable and very convenient stay.

    Avocado toast (sorry, I started eating)
    Devin A.

    Best avocado toast I ever had. The way they tamed the red onion and very lightly tossed vinegarette with arugula on top of the yummy avocado toast was perfect. Highly recommend!!! Service very nice and good ambiance!

    I recently stayed here for three nights while attending a conference in the area. This hotel is in an awesome spot right within a shopping area and easy access to walk around nearby. It's super close to the Convention Center. They don't have parking on-site but there is a parking lot right next door that you can utilize. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast, though they do have a market in the lobby with a fair amount of options for purchase. The fitness center has just enough equipment to get a good workout in while out of town, including a water machine and cool towels. The rooms seem super updated and the bathroom is a great size.

The breakfast buffet also has a good selection including made to order omelettes. * CONS: Overnight parking can be expensive especially if you are valeting your vehicle. It didn't feel safe parking off site for self parking. The elevators are slow. The hotel is starting to show some wear and staff is struggling to keep common areas clean and tidy. Our room's toilet was having issues flushing and staff refused to let us change rooms even though we just checked in room 5 mins ago. We had to vacate room and use public bathrooms downstairs for over an hour while maintenance fixed the issue. It would have been less intrusive and inconvenient if they just given us another room. They said they will alert us when problem was fixed but no one did. We had to check with front desk continuously until problem has been resolved with no compensation or freebies for our inconvenience, despite being Hilton Honors members! Fitness Room had no air conditioning and was very musty and stuffy.

After housekeeping cleared a used teacup from my room earlier in the day, it wasn't replaced...something I'd expect as a basic standard at a hotel of this caliber. I called to request a new one and ended up waiting 21 minutes before calling back for the status on it. I was then told that they would follow up on it and I'd receive an update on the status. 7 more minutes go by - no cup, NO UPDATE. I called back one final time, to which the man on the phone said, yes he put in a rush order and the man who's delivering it is elderly and it might take him just a few minutes longer. I said no problem but just so you know, my cup was taken earlier in the day and not replaced. The man then said he can definitely let housekeeping know for next time. I proceeded to respond and intended to say okay great but before I could even get to the great, he STRAIGHT UP HUNG UP ON ME. Also the person who delivered the cup was a younger boy so idk if the elderly man reasoning was just an excuse for the moment. I went down to the lobby immediately to speak to the manger in person and let her know how insanely unprofessional, unpleasant, and UNCOOL this was. They made an error and I got attitude back for it?! AT A FIVE STAR HOTEL. To their credit, she did apologize and sent up dessert, but by that point the issue wasn't about the teacup or a free comped anything. It was about the breakdown in communication, lack of respect, and service quality. Overall, not the level of service I anticipated for the price, which is disappointing. I will not be staying here again and don't recommend it for anyone else looking for a true five star experience.

The restaurants, bars and shops offer unique experiences that are quintessential to the Queen Mary and improvements continue to be made. Is everything perfect? No but that is the beauty of the unique Queen Mary Hotel. Time should be taken to take in all the available displays, self guided tour, films about her history as well as a meal at The Chelsea, or Promenade Cafe, cocktails at the Observation Bar. The daily breakfast buffet has all the breakfast offerings and an amazing view of downtown Long Beach across the water. A La Carte breakfast is also available. Now that the F&M Bank Amphitheatre in Long Beach is open, this is the perfect place to stay and then walk to the Amphitheatre for your concert. The location is "across the street" - but it feel so close that it seems like it's in the parking lot of the Queen Mary. Because the Queen Mary is a historic ship, the walls are thin, the hotel doesn't have all the traditional bells and whistles that are common in newer hotels but for me, that is part of the experience. There isn't central air or heat but you can request a fan or more blankets, if the room is too loud they do offer ear plugs. What the hotel does have is beautiful historic woodwork, Art Deco style in the staterooms, 1930s artwork, photos of the celebrities who have stayed on the Queen Mary, working portholes. It's a time capsule that you can enter. Explore their website, review the tours that are available and remember that you can do self guided exploration as well.

But I would not recommend that anyone ever stay here overnight. It is pricey and the equivalent of a 2 star motel. We stay in a family suite once a year to attend a music festival because the proximity of the venue and the convenience trumps comfort. But it is not a "nice" stay. The rooms are so dated and nothing works! The wifi is spotty, the rooms are ice boxes and the linens are thin and flimsy, and the bathrooms are barely useable. During this last stay, there was no hot water so we couldn't shower before heading home. I called the front desk and spoke to a woman who said I was the second caller with this issue and would send "engineering" to check it out. No one ever came and an hour later when I called back, the front desk had stopped answering the phone. I tried three times. When you ckeck in, you are told not to touch the temperature and to call the desk. Obviously, they're aware that there's an issue with the rooms being cold so why not address it or at the very least provide extra blankets. My teeth were literally chattering on the first night and I put on thick sweats and a hoodie to sleep in! Stay at a neighboring hotel of which there are many, including a Marriott which is very nice. Come here for lunch & a tour but do not spend the night. Be forewarned!

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.
