Queen Mary Hotel Rooms

Deluxe Room
Each cabin has a king bed or 2 twin beds and is uniquely appointed and embellishments vary to include rich wood paneling art deco build-ins, original artwork and of course portholes for outside rooms. These elegant rooms were once reserved only for first class passengers, on their long trip across the Atlantic. Now you too can relax in style. All first class rooms are decorated in 1930s Art Deco, and have 85% of their original wood paneling.
Standard Room
Inside staterooms are perfect if you're looking for a place where you can relax, uninterrupted. Our windowless inside rooms, at the heart of the ship, will let you catch up on your sleep, no matter what time of day. Each room contains large, original Art Deco mirrors instead of portholes.

Hidden in Long Beach

Entered into a memorable past... The Queen Mary. The surprise is that is a floating hotel in the heart of Long Beach. Their restaurants and Diana exhibit added a special touch of yesteryear.

Unusual experience staying on a ship

The Promenade Cafe and both restaurants were outstanding both as regards food as well as service. The carpet in the room could have been cleaner.

Acommodating staff... but the Parking$!!

The room was cool - the front desk did everything possible to make us welcome and compensate us for some of the shortcomings of the maid service (perhaps they're understaffed?). Our only complaint is having to pay $17/night to self-park our car!! The parking lot was right next to the valet parking lot so, we saved $5/night self-parking our car.

One of a kind accommodations with some compromises

We greatly enjoyed our stay on board the RMS QUEEN MARY. It must be said at the outset that our room was fairly small, and the furnishings somewhat basic. But what would you expect for a ship's stateroom built in the 1930s! Nevertheless, the room was comfortable, clean and well maintained. The staff and service were very good. And the setting just can't be beat! After waking and having breakfast in the morning, we spent hours touring the ship. We would have happily spent more time on board, but had to catch a ferry to Catalina. Overall a fascinating and enjoyable stay.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

The former Soviet attack submarine SCORPION is right next to the RMS QUEEN MARY, and definitely worthwhile. It was not at all crowded and facilities like the torpedo room, bridge, engine room and crew accommodations are extensively accessible to those who go on board. Guests on the QUEEN MARY receive a discount on admissions to the SCORPION.

Parking

First time staying at the Queen Mary Hotel. My wife found the cost beyond our hotel room was outrages. #1 was the cost of parking of 17.00 dollars when your a guest at the hotel was not good. Most places my wife and I stay at...Parking is free. In addition, The room 153 was terrible, we could hear the person in the next room snoring and we could hear them talking. We will not be staying here and would not recommend this for any of our friends. When we come to Long Beach we will be staying at Hyatt or Hilton as we have in the past. Sorry about our review....But you ask us.

Go for the experience

You could pick the Holiday Inn but can it claim to have carried troops in WWII? Rooms are a bit small but full of character. Still have the original fans, windows, etc. And they offer tours of the ship. Overall a very interesting and enlightening stay.

Cool Experience

You can't expect modern amenities in a 80+ year old ship, but Queen Mary can definitely offer one-of-a-kind experience. As a hotel guest, you can go to any open area, so we took a self tour of the ship at night after arrival and the following morning. It was so big, we almost got lost... A map showing "you are here" might have helped. I highly recommend it.

Good, but still needs a little work

Loved the idea of staying aboard on old luxury liner. King bed was very comfortable, great harbor view and the room was clean. I understand that trying to preserve 'old world charm'. But there is a limit to that, especially the toilet and shower head. It was great walking around, but the only way to see the pool area is with a tour. I recommend that you do at least one tour. I did tour some of the supposed 'haunted spots' and my photographs did capture some interesting things, so take your camera and an extra pair of batteries...they tend to drain. Food is good, especially breakfast at the Cafe. Dinner was ok. There are 2 or 3 restaurants onboard. Keep in mind that there are no other restaurants off the ships unless you walk, drive across the harbor on the Queens Bridge and into the Downtown area....which is a 3 mile trek. Just be aware that parking in the downtown area is a bit. Taxi would be a good choice. It would be great if the area surrounding Queen Mary would be more developed with shopping and restaurants. This needs much improvement

Travel

The hotel has a great location and it's nice to see the history in the ship; however there are no windows and the rooms are pretty small so you start feeling a little claustrophobic. It was 930AM and still pitch black in the room so if you're looking for a place to sleep in and you don't mind the no windows, this place is probably ideal. However, we had to keep the TV on just to feel a little less claustrophobic. Also, I've been to hotels around the same price that offer complimentary toiletries (such as tooth paste, tooth brush, etc) and this hotel did not offer that (they suggested buying it at their gift shop). Also, staying at the hotel does not give you a discount on any of the activities on the ship which I thought was a little strange. The staff was really very nice though and very understanding about how confusing the ship's layout can be. And when we accidentally left somethings behind, they brought it to the front desk for us.
