Fun Alternative to a Stuffy Hotel
Everything was great. We were greeted, provided instructions on the boat, and felt very welcome. The boat and dock was private and quiet at night. We attended a conference at the Long Beach Convention Center, which was a quick walk away. Restaurants were abundant and easily visited on foot. We felt safe and comfortable.

Me and my party really enjoyed the dockside. Bed and boat has lots of room. The beds are very comfortable. The staff was really accommodating letting us drop off our luggage. We’re there for the country coastal jam and check in time was at two but the concert started at 12 so we were able to drop off our luggage, get the keys, and still make it to the concert on time so that was really good thank you .

A little upsetting having to pay an extra $56 make sure you get the correct one when booking since I had my two boys other than that everything was perfect.

The area was loud. One night there was very loud music that woke us up several times, but the mgr would not refund our money for the next two nights. The Serenity is close to the convention center, but it's not a great place to stay for work. There is nowhere to hang clothes and it's a very cramped space (I realize that boats are not spacious).The 2nd bedroom was like a closet with a bed tucked into a narrow space. The toilet is literally in the shower. You have to dry off the toilet after each shower and step into a wet area to use the toilet. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, some of the sitting areas were nice (one had mold stains), the harbor is nice, and the mgr brought food for two people when we requested it (up front would have been better). It's a good price for the area if you are physically capable of lots of stairs and steps, don't mind showering with a toilet, and don't get motion sickness.

This is an excellent way to stay in the area! We used this as a layover from our trip to Catalina and honestly enjoyed this more than our condo in Avalon. Ferry terminal and the aquarium are both an easy walk. The only fault (and this is pretty minor) was breakfast. While provided, it was a bit underwhelming, and the nearest breakfast place was a bit of a walk.
