We stayed at this hotel twice in February prior to 2 cruises leaving from the World Cruise Terminal in San Pedro. This Marriott is in a great location. It’s about 25 minutes from the Long Beach Airport & the World Cruise Terminal. It is directly across the street from the Convention Center & a short walk to the Pike Outlet Center & Shoreline Village. There are many restaurants around the hotel if you don’t mind walking 5-15 minutes to either the Outlet Center, the Village or The Promenade (located behind the hotel). The lobby was bright & clean & the front desk staff were warm & friendly. There are 6 elevators in the lobby & they were very fast. We never had to wait long to get one. The gym is well equipped & much better than standard hotel gyms. Be aware that there is a destination charge of $30 per night that will not be waived. This fee includes a $15 food credit among other things that can be used at the bar/restaurant or the coffee shop that has Starbucks coffee. We ordered wings from the bar. They cost $23 for 6 wings & they weren’t very flavorful. The next day we went to the coffee shop & bought snacks & coffee. On our first stay from 02/16/26-02/18/26, we were able to select an M-Club Room which costs more, but we thought it was worth it. This was a king room on the twelfth floor, room 1205, & included access to the M-Club Lounge which provided snacks, water, soda, coffee & tea all day & hors d’oeuvres & desserts in the evening for a few hours & breakfast in the morning. This was a nice perk as we were able to pop in for refreshments after exploring the city. The breakfast was very good & there was a nice selection to choose from. The only downside to the M-Club was that the water, soda & snacks were not replenished in a timely manner. By the end of the second day, there was no water or soda left. The room itself was large, clean & had an in-room safe & small refridgerator. We had a nice view of the city since we were up so high. Unfortunately, we did not get a good night’s sleep since we like a firm mattress & the bed had a very soft & squishy one. Also, it took a very long time for the water to get hot in the shower. We were done with our shower that we took in mostly lukewarm before it got hot. This was close to 10 minutes! After the first morning, we learned to turn on the shower & check back after 10 minutes to see how hot it was. We selected the same hotel for our second stay, 02/27/26-02/28/2026, because Enterprise Rental Car Company was right across the street. This made it very convenient since we could walk to the hotel after returning the car. This time the room was 425 & not part of the M-Club. It was a king room & huge! It was totally different from the previous room. This one had a couch, in-room safe, & refrigerator. It also had a separate dressing area with a table to put makeup on. The room was clean but the view out the window was not spectacular. We looked out on a rooftop that was a floor below us. This room also had a squishy mattress but the hot water in the shower was immediate. The big downside to this room was the motion detector light switch in the bathroom that could not be overridden. This was very annoying when the lights go on in the bathroom in the middle of the night every time someone went in there. I mentioned it to the front desk at check out but she didn’t seem to care. Overall, we were very pleased with this hotel & would stay here again if we visit Long Beach in the future.

“New Years in Long Beach”

We were with a tour group over New Years. The hotel was decorated for Christmas and was so pretty. Close to the water where the Queen Mary was docked. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The 'North Pole Park' was lit up at night. We felt safe knowing the room keys had to access the elevators.

“Pre cruise hotel”

We stayed here the night before our cruise. Truthfully, we have zero complaints......from check-in to check-out was good.

We stayed here the night before our cruise. Truthfully, we have zero complaints......from check-in to check-out was good. The hotel is in a good location and near several restaurants that can be walked to. Inside the hotel is a coffee/gift shop; while it wasn't open all day, we had no problem finding a time when it was open. Breakfast was included with our booking and quite adequate.

“not bad”

Good overall experience, as advertised, however to note, there is not much drawer storage and there is a $45 parking fee daily.
