My "A" List (Best hotels, best locations): Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric at the Pike, Renaissance, Westin "B" List (still pretty good, locations a little bit off the optimium): Maya Doubletree, Hilton, Residence Inn Downtown (the latter two being across the channel, near Carnival Terminal and Queen Mary but across a bridge from Aquarium, most restaurants and shopping). "C" List: Best Western Convention Center (on 1st)... Caveat: Long Beach is a BIG city with a population of around half a million. There are good areas and bad areas--often not far apart. The area near the hotels above is the best tourist area. The LGB Airport area is good, but not much there--and NOT close to the pier. The area near Naples--on the Eastern side of the city--is nice but nowhere near the pier. Other areas can be really undesirable. Don't go looking for bargains...they are likely cheap for good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike4000 Posted November 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2022 We had a fantastic stay at the Maya Doubletree in August. It's the closest hotel (barring the Queen Mary) to the cruise port & it has a shuttle the morning of embarkation. You can walk from the hotel to the port, but it's going to be a bit long and probably not fun with luggage. Let me know if you have specific questions about the hotel. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and the beds were comfortable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
april_4_us Posted December 31, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2022 For the above listed hotels closest to Port are there places within walking distance for last minute needs and places to eat? We generally fly in 1 day prior to embarkation. Thanks in Advance.April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places to eat, yes, within walking distance; for last minute needs, if you mean toothbrush, shave cream, etc, I'd say no. The CVS or Von's Supermarket are close to 2 miles walking distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
