Thank you all for your help and suggestions. We ended up using priceline and I chose to let priceline pick a hotel in the downtown area for a reduced price. We ended up getting the Renaissance Marriott for $441.00 for one room including the $80.00 in taxes!! Not the most ideal price, but I was done looking at all the possibilities.

Unfortunately I wish that $500.00 was for 2 rooms, but that is for one room on March 17th (Friday night). My guess is because it is during spring break. Thank you for your response and you have given me more to think about. Lol

Hello all, My family of 4 will be traveling to Long Beach for the first time in March for our cruise on the Panorama. We have cruised before, just never a West coast departure. I have combed through every available article in regard to the best hotels to stay at, and have found several great suggestions. I thought I had narrowed it down to one of the hotels in downtown Long Beach to be in walkable distance to restaurants and shops since our flight gets us into town around 1:00 pm. But the hotels downtown are going to run us about $500.00 for the night and no free breakfast in the morning. While if we stay at the airport, the hotels are around $300.00 per night and we get a free breakfast along with a shuttle to the hotel from the airport. So my question is....should we stay at the airport and just Uber downtown for the evening of restaurants and shops and Uber back, or just stay downtown for the convenience? Sorry this is so long Molly
