The Queen Mary

Freundliches Personal, Nostalgisch wie vor 80 Jahren.

Wegen eines Festivals vor der Queen Mary, wurden die Parkplätze auf die Seite von Long Beach verlegt. Shuttle Bus wurden gestellt, aber der Parkplatz sah nicht gerade seriös aus. Auch das Konzert war ein riesen lärm, wir hatten das Vergnügen des Soundcheck. Zum Glück waren wir am Tag des Konzertes schon weg.

The condition of the ship is incredible.

Nothing. All was excellent.

We had stayed on the Queen Mary before, 20 years ago, and it's obvious that it's had a refurb in the public areas since then. The room was huge, with a port-side view, albeit from a tiny, very high up, porthole, but it was too big in some respects, as it had a vast space in the middle of the room! Wandering around the ship during the day was so interesting and there were little displays of times gone by at every turn! It is such an fascinating and historical ship and there is just so much to see. I can highly recommend the evening 2 hour Paranormal Tour, which was really interesting and entertaining and the gentleman tour guide was absolutely brilliant, knowledgeable and great fun! And it took us into areas of the ship that are not open to the public unless you're on a tour. Dining options were good, if a little pricey, but the food was well presented and tasty, We had lunch in the Promenade Cafe and dinner at the Observation Bar. This is not a cheap place to stay, but it really is a very special and unique experience and well worth "pushing the boat out", so to speak, for the historical aspect alone.

The room was obviously furnished with the original 1930's furniture, fixtures and fittings, which was great, but equally that came at a price, because the wardrobe doors wouldn't stay shut, drawers were stiff and the paintwork and decor was more tatty than period, in our room, at least. And the bath, whilst very in keeping, and obviously original, was stained and very uninviting, so we didn't use it, nor the shower over the bath. Although I do appreciate that it is part of the charm of staying on a historic old ship, but the state of the bath was just a step too far for us!

The room was to my liking. I expected the rooms to be better than what I saw. They make enough money to make the more presentable. Needs renovations

Needs renovation in the rooms and better clean carpets and fix the wholes along the baseboards inside and outside the rooms

the History of the Queen Mary was facinating. After I checked in I explored the ship from the bow to the engine room and even got a great view of the propellor

The parking lot was under construction for something and it was confusing retrieving my car (wasn't sure where to go to get my car). But that's construction.

This has to be the most unique hotel in the world

Absolutely nothing
