Decided to stay a night before the cruise. Booked a double but when arrived, they said that they ran out of double rooms and only had handicapped rooms. Asked for a roll-away bed and it was delivered quickly, but...the mattress looked to be 10 years old, very nasty. The bathrooms are old and could use remodeling.

The most shocking surprise was the food. Went to hotel restaurant and the prices definitely don't match the quality of food. Very, very expensive and mediocre meal. Alcohol prices through the roof, the alcohol on the cruise was 3 times cheaper. The only thing that's left of "Hilton" in the menu is the price!

Good location, close to port for those who plan on spending some time before the cruise.

Quiet hotel within walking distance to South Pine which is the restaurant district. Dining room is expensive but there is a coffee shop right next door in the World Trade Center where you can get breakfast. Cost of taxi to the cruise center is approx $20.00

This hotel was a surprise considering the price. Located close to local attractions like the Queen Mary, Long Beach boardwalk and cruise ship center. The room was large and very comfortable.They provide shuttle services to local attractions. The hotel is also located on a local free bus line. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially when providing suggestions for places to eat and shop.

While the Hilton Long Beach is not exactly centrally located to shopping, restaurants etc. if you are there to attend a meeting/symposium as we were you will be pleased with the cleanliness and friendly staff. While not cheap the food was very tasty and service top notch.
