    The staff are amazing. I was immediately greeted upon arrival by many of the staff members and was offered help with my luggage but I declined. The front desk was friendly and polite. She was very kind and offered a room upgrade for free to a deluxe room with a partial ocean view. Now the room is where the ratings start to go downhill. The bathroom does not have a vent so it gets very steamy and it takes awhile for it to evaporate. The bathtub did not drain quickly so the water started to pool at the beginning of the shower. The fan in the bedroom hardly works. The low and high fan are practically working at the same speed and I didn't notice any difference. The room finally got to the desired temp after about 2-3 hours. The cabinet door to the fridge was broken at a hinge so we weren't able to access the fridge at all. Also, some of the channels on cable tv were not accessible. There is a $18 resort fee they charge upon arrival that caught me by surprise. I don't remember seeing this at the time of booking but I could've overlooked it. I really wanted to like this hotel, but the defects with the room were hard to miss. However, I did enjoy the amenities and the location. There were a lot of nearby restaurants that are within walking distance.

    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.

    This was my first time staying at a Westin hotel, and I enjoyed every minute of it! The front desk staff were incredibly accommodating, and since I recently became a Bonvoy member, they upgraded me to a suite. It had multiple bathrooms, couches, and even connecting rooms--such a great surprise. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the view was amazing. Everything about the stay felt relaxing and well taken care of. If you have to stay in Long Beach, stay here!

    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!

    I stayed there for a few nights. My toilet wasn't clean, ac didn't work , there was rust in the bathroom . There was one employee who was good. The rest didn't give me the correct information or could not explain about my incidentals.

    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.

    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 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.

The lady at the front for check in at 4pm was just rude off the bat.

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.

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.

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.

    ****Paranormal Tour Review Only****…read more My niece is very into spooky things so she wanted to check out the Paranormal Tour at the Queen Mary for her birthday and it was quite the experience. If you are not a hotel guest, and are only going for a tour, dining, or for the day, you have to park at the Pike Parking Garage, which at 65 Cedar Ave., Long Beach. The nice thing is that they have shuttles that will take you to the Queen Mary for free. We weren't sure where they picked us up, but there is a small parking office on the first floor of the structure, and they will direct you. This was my first time at the Queen Mary, and there is such a nice view of the downtown Long Beach, especially at nice. It's gorgeous for photos. Walking around the boat was such a cool experience too. We had to ask staff to help us find the meeting point for the tour, but they were prompt at 9 pm. The tour guide gives great instructions before hand and provides some insights for what the tour will look like. There is a lot of walking and stairs that you'll have to climb, but it's manageable. It may not be a good tour if you have mobility issues because some spaces are quite tight. She did a great job giving us warnings here and there where we could have the option to opt out of a particular area because of the change in operators or visibility. There are waiting areas before these spots, so if you're uncomfortable, there is an option to sit out for some rooms. There was definitely a creepy vibe in some spots, and the tour guide gave us some good history and background of the different areas of the boat. We did experience some spooky things. Lights flickered in some areas and there was one room where the file cabinet suddenly shut on its own with no one near it. It's a great tour, especially as we are approaching October. I definitely recommend and I will be back to check out the boat during the day.

    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.
