Staying on the ship was quite an experience! The rooms were spacious and historical, definitely charming despite some wear and tear. I really appreciated the accommodating staff, though there were a couple of moments where service could have been better. The location is unbeatable if you're planning to head out on a cruise, but the dining left a lot to be desired with high prices for mediocre food. Overall, it's a unique stay with some trade-offs.

I had a unique experience staying on a historic ship that was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The chance to stay in the haunted room B340 was exciting, especially since we were the first guests there in over 30 years. However, the service left something to be desired, especially with the lack of responsiveness from the staff regarding discounts. The location is interesting, filled with memorabilia, but not very convenient for exploring nearby attractions.

Staying at this hotel felt like stepping back in time. The historical charm of the place was captivating, and the price was great at $140. However, I did notice the need for a deeper clean, and while the staff was helpful, my initial experience with them could have been more welcoming. Overall, it's an interesting spot that could use a bit of modernization.

My stay was on an old ship that offered a unique experience, but I felt the rooms were a bit outdated and cramped. The service was friendly but had its moments of inconsistency. The location was nice, especially if you're cruising out of Long Beach, but being a bit isolated meant limited options for dining off the ship. Overall, for a cruise, it had its charm but wasn't perfect.

Staying on the Queen Mary was such a unique experience! The rooms were charming and spacious with great harbor views, though it's not without a few drawbacks. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the service could be slow at times. The location is convenient for the cruise port but requires a bit of travel to find more dining options in Long Beach. Overall, it was a fun stay steeped in history for a reasonable price.

The hotel is situated on a historic vessel which makes for a unique experience, but we were disappointed with the overall cleanliness and the musty smell in our room. While the location by the dock is interesting and provides some charm, the condition of the rooms felt outdated and not up to par. Plus, even though the service had a charming vibe, there were some issues with noise early in the morning. Overall, it's a place that could have been much better with a few upgrades.
