Hotels closest to Long Beach Terminal for the PRIDE

[danimal]

I was wondering if you could fill me in on some hotels close to the pier. I know I heard the Queen Mary and the Coast hotel is close by, but can someone provide me with a list of hotels that are near by that are decent.. I just want to shop around a little. Has anyone ever tried booking a pre-cruise stay on hotwire or priceline? I would imagine you are taking a gamble because the long beach area is so large. Thanks for your insight!

Im sure there are many choices nearby. However, the Queen Mary was a fun place to stay and a block away from the Pride. Haunted Encounters tour was fantastic.

We just sailed the Pride and stayed at the Coast Hotel, which is about a block from the terminal. You can take the free red shuttle busses right to the ship. Very nice hotel.
