RESIDENCE INN LONG BEACH

[Mr and Mrs C]

Wondering if anyone has stayed at this hotel pre cruise? I see I can get the penthouse suite for 4 adults for a decent price. We will not have a vehicle. is there much within walking distance? Is this a safe area?

It is a very nice hotel in a safe area, and it depends on what you call walking distance. The Shoreline Village is about 1/2 a mile, Pike Outlets and Downtown about 1 mile.

There are actually TWO Residence Inn by Marriott properties in Long Beach.

One is near LGB Airport...on Willow, just south of the 405 freeway near the Lakewood Blvd. offramp.  There really isn't much in this area...not even restaurants--save a Jack-in-the-Box, a Subway and a couple of small fast food places on Lakewood Blvd.

 

The other Residence in is usually noted as the "Residence Inn Downtown"...That one is across the street from the Maya Doubletree...near the Queen Mary and Carnival terminal--just across the bridge from Downtown Long Beach.  From THAT ONE, you would have a short walk to the Queen Mary (0.8 miles)...or across the bridge to the Aquarium  (0.5 miles) and the SEVERAL restaurants between that and Shoreline Village (tourist shopping and more restaurants--1.2 miles away) and the Pike (0.8 miles)--with more shopping and restaurants across Shoreline Blvd.
