The hotel has definitely seen better days. The carpet is worn, paint peeling, etc. That said, it is kind of interesting to see what a famous ocean liner was like. If you like experiencing history you may like this. more

We wanted a hotel with character, easy access from LAX and an easy drive down the coast towards San Diego in the morning. The Queen Mary definitely fitted the bill. The ship retains many of its original features and the workmanship and art deco style is stunning. An astonishing variety of birds as well as dolphins can be viewed from... more

We were very excited when our group decided to stay on the Queen Mary the night before our cruise. We arrived and checked into our room, only to find that the HVAC only gave us hot air. No problem, we changed rooms. The room was SMALL! Two adults, one large suitcase and 2 carry ons.....not much room for moving around.... more

This is a unique option for lodging, that is for sure. We stayed one night, in conjunction with a work dinner/dancing event, also held on the ship. Our room was on the "A" deck and had old wooden paneled walls, small, but clean bathroom and an comfortable bed. We had two port hole windows, which could be opened. There was... more

Great Rails provided a tour of the ship to discover more about its fascinating history as a luxurious ocean liner and World War II troop ship. We found... more

DO stay at Hotel Queen Mary if you are looking to experience a historic treasure. DON'T stay there is you are looking for anything chic or luxurious. The room was kind of run down and if it had been any other hotel on land, I would have considered it to be dumpy. However, it is cool to be able to... more

I was SO excited to have the opportunity to stay on the QM for the night -- I had always wanted to, and a business trip to Long Beach was the perfect excuse. Man, was I SHOCKED. I paid close to $300 for a room -- which I would not have paid $60 for. The room was dirty, dimly lit... more
