The lady at the front for check in at 4pm was just rude off the bat. As someone who use to work in hospitality I understand the importance of treating all guests with respect and providing a welcoming environment. She did not exhibit any of that whatsoever. She gave no directions, details, or information about the hotel or our bill. She charged my card without letting us know about an additional deposit/fee above the originally stated price and then handed us the key. It wasn't until after we started heading in the wrong direction to find our room did she point out the elevators were not that direction. A minimal yet memorably negative interaction. However there was a gentleman who exhibited kind and very hospitable behavior.

Room was nice and spacious. The mirror was dirty and couldn't be cleaned. I should've asked for another room or they should've offered. Bed was super comfy. The pool was tepid temp at best but I braved the cold and swam for about 45 minutes. We could also make out Venus as the night wore on. It was a beautiful night. Bar was closed, food they offer is just sandwiches and salads. We opted to stroll to a seafood restaurant. It was nice. I do not know if I would book there again. They need a hot tub.

We were slightly concerned leaving the cars in the parking lot. We made note the lot was under camera surveillance, but that doesn't always mean they record or that people care. Check in: our rooms were ready a little early. The process was easy, clear and very friendly and helpful. Lobby: the lobby was cute and behind guest services is a coffee bar area. The coffee bar has syrups and such for making a decent cup of coffee. That was nice! Around the area: lots of cute little shops, bars, restaurants and places to grab a bite to eat or ice cream. Metered parking. There are some spaces in front that is metered for pay by hour parking. We felt safer having the car on the street. Luggage: the hotel is older and has all stairs, removing all luggage was a headache the stairs are a lot. It was a GREAT stay. Lots of other customers were complaining when we spoke to them about the size of their rooms. Cleanliness: the hotel is older, and renovated from a business meaning it wasn't always a hotel. It's obvious... BUTTTTTTTTTT it's clean, great staff, great location, CARS WERE SAFE.. we were safe! Would I return? Absolutely!

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.

Okay for a quick one-night stay, but I'd choose another hotel for a longer stay…read more We booked this hotel using 35K Bonvoy points for a one-king-bedroom suite with a kitchenette and complimentary breakfast. We originally booked because the photos on the Bonvoy app made it look like the pool was on the rooftop, which was a big reason we chose this hotel. Unfortunately, that wasn't what we expected once we arrived. We also asked about upgrading to a two-bedroom suite when we checked in, but they didn't offer it to us even though we later saw that one was available. We mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, but unfortunately there wasn't much the hotel could do. A few things to know before booking: * Ice: There is only an ice machine in the lobby. If you're staying on the 5th floor, you have to go back downstairs for ice. * Rooms/common areas: The carpets are pretty old and dingy and could definitely use an upgrade. There was also a noticeable old/smoky smell in the hallway. * Pool/whirlpool: The pool area is nothing particularly special, but we were lucky enough to basically have it to ourselves because the weather was cloudy, humid, and lightly sprinkling. We specifically booked this hotel so the kids could use the pool and we could use the whirlpool, so at least we got to enjoy it. I wouldn't choose this hotel specifically for the pool, though. * Breakfast: The breakfast was probably my biggest disappointment. There were quite a few gnats flying around the food and even around the tables while we were eating. The selection was on the smaller/basic side, but we did eat our fill since it was complimentary. I just wish there had been a little more attention to the gnats, as they took away from the overall breakfast experience. There are some definite positives about the location. There are a lot of restaurants within walking distance, so you have plenty of choices without having to drive. We took a nice walk last night across the bridge, caught the sunset, and had a view of the Queen Mary. We ended up choosing Chili's, but there were plenty of other options nearby, including Yard House, Hooters, Bubba Gump, and more. That was actually one of the nicer parts of our stay. Another positive was that, because of our status, they gave us a 4 PM late checkout, which was greatly appreciated since the regular checkout is noon. The location is also convenient for the Aquarium of the Pacific and for people catching a cruise near the Queen Mary. Because of that, I can understand why someone might choose this hotel for a quick overnight stay. Overall: If you need a convenient place to stay for one night or less, especially for the aquarium or a cruise, it may be perfectly fine. The location is convenient, there are lots of restaurants nearby, and we were able to make the most of our stay. But if you have a choice and are looking for a nicer hotel with better amenities, atmosphere, or breakfast, I would recommend considering an alternative hotel for a longer stay.

You can see in one of the bed pictures that the bed is a bit saggy and even looked used when I first arrived. One great thing that I learned right before checking out is that there is a Peloton app for in room workouts during your stay, but that would have been nice to have had access to it the day before.

It definitely felt more like the kind of place you'd stay when you're 18-21 and looking to party, rather than a comfortable hotel for a relaxing stay. Check-in itself was easy and the staff was pleasant, but unfortunately, the property was a major disappointment. There were numerous stains on the carpets, and the elevator had what appeared to be melted ice cream on the floor. When we entered our room, there was a strong musty/moldy smell. The sheets also smelled musty. Stain on sheets. The room had an outdated popcorn ceiling, and the bathroom was especially disappointing. The tile was very dirty and visibly old, and the bathtub was dirty and heavily scuffed. For the price, this property is definitely on the lower end of what we expected. We ultimately decided we did not feel comfortable staying and requested a full refund because we simply wanted to leave. That said, we are grateful that management did grant us a full refund. I do appreciate them making that right, but based on the condition of the property, we unfortunately would not stay here again.

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.

This property clearly needs some attention and maintenance. At this price point, I expected much better. Unfortunately, I won't be booking here again.

The rooftop has a cool view of the city, especially at night. The hotel has ample parking - spaces under the building and directly next to it. One thing to keep in mind - if you are staying in downtown Long Beach, it's a big city with big city sights and sounds. You aren't staying in the country. Great experience for my wife and I.

Hotel Mai is a quaint boutique hotel near the convention center. I booked it at for a conference…read moreand it was much cheaper than the main venue and it fit my needs well. The neighborhood is a typical downtown area and can be seedy but the hotel itself is secure with the main entrance by key card only at night and the elevators also require your key card to be operational. My room, a single king, was clean and in good shape. There is a large TV, desk area, adequate closet, and mini-fridge with Keurig machine in the room. The iron is of high quality and perfect for pressing my clothes for my meetings. The bathroom is very nice with a Toto Washlet that are common in Japan. 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. Upon checking out, I had a nice conversation with Yogi, the owner, who told me a little about the place and how it was named. Overall, my stay at the Hotel Mai was a wonderful one and I would certainly go back the next time I need to stay in Long Beach!

There was an airport shuttle and our driver was gracious enough to take us as soon as we checked out. All in all it was a good experience staying here but I give it one star off due to price. I paid around $300 for one night that seemed quite high for an airport hotel.

TLDR: Would not recommend the hotel whatsoever, but would recommend the Royal Brunch…read more My husband and I elected to stay here even though we live only an hour away to make our lives easier attending the Three Pianos concert. We had heard concert parking was horrible and decided to make it easier. We booked the room over a month in advance and there was no warning given about on-site Queen Mary parking. A day or two before our trip, we received an email saying that there would be no on-site parking for hotel guests and we'd have to be shuttled to and fro an off-site location a little over a mile away. This was pretty irritating since the entire point of booking this and spending money on a hotel room was to make parking easier. We wrote back and expressed our discontent only to be met with a "sorry but it is what it is"...just more professionally worded. We got there to park and were able to get on a shuttle. Check in was fairly smooth although we were informed we could not control the AC and so if we needed a fan to call.As soon as we got there I called for a fan because it was 90 degrees and I knew I'd need one--the fan came quickly, but I don't like that you have zero AC control...that is a hotel room perk. The room itself was larger than you'd expect from a boat, and it didn't feel dirty, but it is is desperate need of upgrades. The walls were scuffed, the tile grout brown, toilets and sinks very outdated, etc. The bed itself was very firm, but sleepable and the pillows were fine. However, the walls, or maybe the door area was paper thin and we were woken up the next morning several times starting at 6:45AM with other guests who were so loud that it felt like they were in the bed next to us...and not in a sexy way. About 90 mins before the concert, we went to the Observation Bar for drinks and food. We were seated with the manager saying their "world class service would be with us shortly"...The service was horrendous and he and I are certainly not living in the same world if what we got is world class. She took forever and never checked on us. The drink options were limited, but when we finally got them, they were OK. I also ordered the baked brie that came out cold and the sliders were only OK. We never got to have another round of drinks because it took over an hour to get the first round of drinks and 2 food items. We finally had to get up and ask for the check so as not to be late to the concert and when they asked how everything was and we told them the truth, the manager essentially just looked at us and walked away. Super helpful! I saw many other servers scurrying around and looking helpful, so I think our waitress was just terrible...and living in her own little world...probably the same one the manager is living in. Later after we had left to the concert, my husband left the concert line to run back to the hotel and put stuff in the room that we bought and his key didn't work. So we had to wait for them to fix that which made him late getting back and we missed part of the early entry we had paid extra for. We called for a late checkout the next morning because we had the Royal Brunch booked for 11am (which is check out time) and we had all of our stuff, plus our concert stuff that we had planned on running out to the car, but couldn't do because they wouldn't let us park there. We were told they had no late checkouts left and to check it with the bell service. We went down at about 10:45 to drop off our stuff with the bell service and the line was ridiculously long and not moving whatsoever. There is no way we weren't going to miss our reservation if we waited in it, so we went to the brunch with all of our bags and asked if they could give us a table where we could lay out our posters, etc. A manager of some kind, Andy, overheard this and offered to lock up our items in a closet right there--he was truly one of the only helpful people in the Queen Mary. The brunch itself was delightful. The food and service were excellent and while I would never stay over at the Queen Mary again, I would certainly attend the brunch again if we could park onsite. Finally we went out to the front to get back on the shuttle in the blazing sun and the line was in the direct sunlight and there was no shuttle in site. I asked people who had been there how long they had been waiting and they said over 20 minutes. I'm sorry, that's unacceptable. You didn't give appropriate notice that we couldn't park onsite, the line is in the sun, and now people have to wait over 20 minutes in 90 degree heat to get back to our cars? I asked the person working the little podium where the shuttle was and he said they were coming every 15 minutes. I told him that was clearly untrue and he radioed them and one showed up about 6 minutes later. I would never stay here again. Too many things went wrong to waste the money. Stay somewhere else, and just eat at the royal brunch. Also, we were offered nothing but "free parking"...
