Resort-style 'Playa at the Maya' man-made beach with fire pits
快速概覽: A former DoubleTree trying to find its soul as an independent boutique hotel while undergoing major surgery.
由 @Askfoodb 評論: I spent a weekend at Hotel Maya and it was the perfect local escape. The outdoor lounge with those daybeds is incredible, and I loved watching the boats from my room. It feels like a tropical resort right in Long Beach.
住過這裡的客人說
The hype
Guests love the tropical 'Tulum-lite' vibe and views but are frustrated by the noise and nickel-and-diming.
Reality check
Thin walls mean you will hear your neighbor's conversation and the wedding DJ blasting until midnight.
You are cruising out of Long Beach (Carnival terminal is next door)
You want a pool day with a view rather than a city exploration trip
You are traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly with ground floor access)
清潔與維護
8
Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report missed spots and 'dusty' corners, likely due to staffing shortages.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean but aging. Reports of black streak marks on toilets and rusted fixtures in some rooms.
Maintenance: Showing its age. Peeling paint and 'incomplete' renovation areas are common complaints.
Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, though some recent reviews mentioned stained sheets.
Odors & scents: Mostly fresh, but occasional complaints of musty smells in older buildings.

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is this still a DoubleTree by Hilton?
No. It officially transitioned to an independent boutique hotel on April 1, 2025. Hilton benefits no longer apply.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the outdoor lap pool is heated, but check for closure dates during the 2026 renovation period.
Can I walk to the Queen Mary?
Yes, it is a scenic 10-15 minute walk along the waterfront path.
How much is the pet fee?
Approximately $50-$100 per stay. It is one of the most pet-friendly hotels in the area.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit 'resort fee' is listed, but the high parking and breakfast costs act as a hidden tax.
What is the 'Playa at the Maya'?
It is a 6,500-sq-ft man-made sand area with fire pits and daybeds. You cannot swim in the water there.
內幕秘訣
✨
Building 3 offers the most unobstructed views of the Queen Mary and skyline.
✨
The water taxi (AquaLink) is a fun, cheap way to get to Belmont Shore or downtown without an Uber.
✨
Ask for a 'quiet room' away from the event lawn if staying on a weekend.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'waterfront' rooms sometimes face a parking lot with water in the distance—check the map.
💡The elevators can be slow and rickety, showing the building's 1970s age.
💡Cell service can be spotty on the far ends of the property.
💡The 'resort' feel ends at the property line; the immediate area is just cruise terminals and roads.
💡Housekeeping is by request only or upon checkout unless you specifically ask for daily service.
