• It had a great view.
• It was haunted and small.

“It was a good hotel and it was very clean and nice but it was haunted and the service was slow.”

• The art deco architecture; beautiful wood paneling, light fixtures, glass, rails, etc.
• It was a little dated-room decor; bed linens. It is beautiful but needs a little TLC.

“The Queen Mary is a gorgeous hotel that takes you back in time. The woodwork; beautiful glasswork and nickel finish hand rails; light fixtures and all the Art Deco appointments make it a treasure.”

• Unique.
• Needs upgrading.

“Very novel place to stay for one night, friendly staff and clean rooms. Can tell this was once a true luxury liner at one time, although it is a bit worn down now. All in all a memorable stay, a tip on transportation: there is a free bus that stops in front of the ship takes you all over Downtown, the aquarium and Shoreline Village, no need to drive.”

• Unique experience aboard historical ship.
• Lots of shops and amenities closed/unavailable.

“This was my worst experience. The Queen Mary Hotel was a unique experience aboard a ship with a storied past. However, some of the restaurants and shops on the ship were closed. Furthermore, the shops were just adjacent to the ship were also closed. Consequently, I ate dinner on board, which despite being a nice meal, was way overpriced. Worst of all, a film crew was on board shooting an episode of ghost whisperers, rendering many areas off-limits. The film crew's presence meant that cables and wires were everywhere and everywhere we turned, there was some other inconvenience related to the shoot. The hotel should probably have been closed during the time I was there.”

• Loved the history behind this ship!
• Run down ad not taken care of very well.

“Stayed at the queen marry for one night before a cruise on February 16, 2007. When we arrived to our room, I was slightly surprised to enter, what I considered, a "standard" room. I called the front desk and requested we be moved, which was done for us with no hassle. Our room (m155) was nice, had everything we needed, but smelled old, as expected, but was very hot! The bell hop turned the heat down for us and told us it would take a little bit for it to cool off. He opened the porthole windows for us and told us to go explore. We took our flashlights and went exploring on our own since we arrived late and no tours were going at that time. I felt as if the ship was ours since there were not allot of people onboard. I found it very fascinating! I loved thinking of all the people that we onboard before me. There were allot of locked doors that we couldn't go in to, but could have had we been part of a tour. I really wanted to see the pool area, but couldn't. The ship is pretty neglected though with lots of dust. We actually saw a ketchup stain on the ceiling in front of an elevator! When we arrived back to our room, it was still hot, very hot. We tried turning the thermostat all the way to 90 degrees instead of down to 50. That worked, wiring was just done backwards! While exploring, we found a comedy act going on in the Hollywood deli - very funny! At the observation bar, which is the only "original" area left on the ship as we were told; there was a great band which included bagpipers from the Scottish festival that was going on. We had breakfast in the promenade cafe which was very good, as well as the service. They had a nice buffet going on, but I opted for the heaves rancheros. Delicious! Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to stay at for a good night¿s sleep, but a great place to go back in time! Everyone should experience this place at least once! I am looking forward to going back and spending more time and going on the guided tours "looking for ghosts"! I did get a couple of pictures of "orbs", which some consider to be ghosts in the form of a ball of light. Who knows? Maybe I had a ghost in our room!”

• Lots of character,
• Paper thin thin walls

“Makes a nice change from a usual hotel.the staff are really helpful and the atmosphere is pleasant.no need to worry about being a little way from town as there is a free bus situated right outside,takes 10 mins into town and comes every few mins. if you like modern things then her royal highness is not for you.shes a bit frayed at the edges and the walls are PAPER thin.”

• Beautiful art deco, old style decoration, lots of original stuff and tons of history
• not for anyone looking to be pampered

“I stayed on the ship/hotel for a week. This is not a place to stay if you have any fear of the supernatural as it is high on the list of most haunted places in the world. However, if you can get over that, I recommend it to anyone.”
