    The positives about this hotel is the location, the lobby is clean and spacious, and the restaurant is good food and service. I arrived late after the restaurant closed, so I called earlier in the day and was informed that I could use my $18 credit for that day the next day. However, there was an issue on my bill and when I informed the front desk of the conversation, they indicated there were no notes on my file. My mistake to not take down the name of the person I spoke with. The room was alright, but we found it difficult to control the temperature well. There was no tissue and we had to ask twice within 3 hours for some to be brought to the room. The walls are thin and you will definitely hear noise from other rooms. There are other hotels that are better in the area, for a similar or a bit more so I think I would stay elsewhere next time.

    Imagine stepping into a snow globe, but instead of snow, it's filled with holiday cheer! That's the Westin Hotel in Long Beach during Christmas time. The whole place sparkles with festive decorations, making it feel like you've entered a winter wonderland. One of the best things about staying here during the holidays is how peaceful it is. You won't find yourself bumping elbows with crowds, which means you can truly relax and soak in the Christmas spirit. Plus, the area feels super safe, so you can wander around without a worry. And let's not forget the location! You're surrounded by yummy eats and delightful drinks, perfect for indulging in holiday treats. And for a touch of maritime magic, the Queen Mary is just around the corner, adding an extra sprinkle of enchantment to your stay. The staff are incredibly hospitable, making you feel like you're part of their holiday family. It's a truly magical experience!

    Beautiful high-rise hotel near the water in Long Beach. We were going on a cruise so we decided to stay at the hotel the night before. It was very close to the cruise ship and the surrounding parking garages. We were gonna park at the hotel for our cruise however they were charging $50 a day for parking. There is a parking garage less than a half mile away for $16 a day. The hotel lobby is beautiful and check-in was a breeze. We even got a free upgrade to a high floor room with a beach view. The room was clean and spacious. My only complaint is that it is very dated.

    Modern Comfort Meets Coastal Calm -- A True Westin Gem The Westin Long Beach was everything I hoped for in a stay -- clean, elevated, and effortlessly comfortable. Whether you're in town for business, a conference, or just soaking up some coastal SoCal vibes, this hotel delivers across the board. The highlights: Rooms are sleek and comfortable, with the signature Westin touches: heavenly beds, crisp linens, and blackout curtains that actually work. Mine had a partial ocean view and a desk setup perfect for remote work. The lobby is beautiful and inviting, with lots of natural light and modern design that makes it feel like more than just a place to pass through. Service was excellent -- from the valet team to the front desk, everyone I encountered was professional, friendly, and ready to help (early check-in? No problem). Location can't be beat -- walkable to Shoreline Village, Pike Outlets, and plenty of great restaurants and bars. It's also a quick Uber or stroll to the convention center if you're in town for work. The outdoor pool area was a surprise favorite -- peaceful, well-kept, and a great place to relax after a long day. Fitness center was better than most -- spacious, clean, and stocked with everything from free weights to Pelotons. Bonus points: The lobby bar had a great cocktail selection and small bites, perfect for unwinding without leaving the hotel. Fast elevators. IYKYK. Bottom line: The Westin Long Beach strikes that perfect balance of luxury and approachability. It's polished without being pretentious, and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. Would absolutely stay again -- and recommend it without hesitation.

    Over all, a good hotel in a great location. Well kept up with very helpful staff. Room sizes were good and were clean. A bit odd that the bathroom don't have a vent. The tub was also slow to drain. Not a huge deal but added to some inconvenience. I had a discounted rate due to attending for a conference. I was toying with the idea of staying another night. By that time the group rate had expired. Odd thing was...the new advertised standard rate was near identical to the conference rate. It seems the conference organizers "discount rate" wasn't much of a discount at all. I'm not a fan of price games. I'm also not a fan of huge parking fees. $49 for parking. A near by hotel had parking for just $10, granted it wasn't nearly as good of a hotel. The pool and jacuzzi were nice. Always a little busy but manageable. Hotel restaurant was to be expected. Good food but over priced, which seems typical of most hotel restaurants. Over all a good hotel with some downsides.

    From our room on the 12th floor, we have a clear view of the Queen Mary and the Lighthouse, and watching sunrises and sunsets from this vantage point never gets old. The hotel is also situated at the heart of Downtown Long Beach, which provides the perfect home base for a walking exploration of downtown. There are so many events going on in this vibrant city and there is something cute and surprising at every corner. The lobby renovation injected new life into the grand scale of the space. The room was clean and well-equipped, but the on-demand feature of the TV did not work. We turned the air conditioning off as soon as we got into the room because it's not really necessary with the pleasant weather. The mattress was comfortable, but the comforter was thick and heavy, almost like a weighted blanket. My wife loved it, but it was a bit too heavy for me. The pillows were airy and soft. We had breakfast at the Navy Proof, and the service was friendly and attentive. The omelets my wife and I ordered were decent, but I thought the egg was overcooked a bit. The worst part of this hotel is the parking. The layout is confusing and the space is cramped. It's too easy to scrape the car around a tight corner if you're not careful, and judging from all the scratch marks on the wall, many vehicles were damaged this way.

    We recently checked into the Westin hotel today. We had a delightful dining experience at the restaurant in the lobby. The hotel food was exceptionally delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Abi, was an absolute gem. Friendly, cheerful, and incredibly attentive, Abi provided exceptional service with a warm smile.

    We stayed here due to a family wedding so we had a great room rate and check in was friendly and smooth. The room was adequate as it has most of the amenities you need like a safe, closet, ironing board, iron, refrigerator, desk, towel racks, drawers for your clothes, a one bottle of complimentary water. However, we were missing a computer chair for the desk and the only other chair was not suitable to sit at the computer. We called special express and they brought up a computer chair and extra bottles of water. We asked why we were only given one bottle of water and they said we can refill our bottles at the dispenser located next to the ice machine (which was temporarily out of order) but we needed another bottle since there were two of us. I guess they are trying to reuse plastic water bottles to fill up at the dispenser which is fine. The room does need to have more outlets to plug in our electric devices, as there are none near the bed. Other than that, nice view, good service from housekeeping. Please note no microwave in the room. We ate breakfast at the Navy Proof Food and Spirits, which is located in the beautiful and spacious hotel lobby and the food and service was great. As far as the fitness center is concerned, it is a good sized area located off the elevator on the 5th floor. There are plenty of machines and my favorite props such as stability ball, free weights and bosu ball, mats, small rollers, as well as a water dispensing machine, sanitary wipes, towels as well as fresh fruit after your workout. Being able to stay fit and healthy is important while I travel. There is valet and paid parking at the hotel. $45 for valet and $40 for self-parking. All in all, our stay was what we expected and I am happy they have a restaurant on site and fitness center. They just need to upgrade a few things in their rooms like the outlets for electronic devices as well as making sure there are at least 2 bottles of water and a computer chair at the desk. Also they have a shower/bath combo in room which is a plus

    I'm a big fan of Westins in general. However this Westin location is probably my least favorite. The rooms are clean but look like something out of a Bruce Willis movie in the 90s. They definitely need to be remodeled. The gym is not up to Westin standards in my opinion and is probably one of the most disappointing hotel gyms I've ever been to. The pool was not the designer's brightest idea, both literally and figuratively. You see, the building itself is crescent shaped. The pool, on the 5th floor is nuzzled in that crescent, meaning you don't get as much sunlight as you should throughout the day. There are some positives, the biggest being the location. There's so much to do, see, eat, and drink throughout Downtown Long Beach and Shoreline Village. You can even take the water taxi during summer season to the other side of Long Beach from Shoreline. Also, the lobby has actually been remodeled and it's modern and spacious. Lastly, employees are helpful and nice.

    Decent hotel to stay at before a cruise! Lobby is very nice and we had the pleasure of having Kasia checking us in. They were so lovely and really hyped up my Marriott status. We also appreciated their restaurant recommendations. Rooms were spacious and our views were quite nice. Appreciated the free specialty coffee in the morning thanks to Marriott status. The gym looked fine and unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
