We stayed on the Queen Mary for a night in 2018 and it was awesome. I highly reccomend a night on board.
Having said that, I would not stay for longer than a couple of nights. The area is a little isolated and run down. There did not appear any restaurants or amenities nearby etc. You are effectively paying to stay in a historic monument with all of the compromises that you might expect. If in the area again, then I would most certainly rebook... but for 2 nights maximum.

We’ve stayed at the Hyatt Regency Long beach, which was fine.It was in a good location opposite the Shoreline Village boardwalk place with lots of shops, bars and eateries.We went on the Queen Mary for a day visit, then back in the evening-lots of nice cocktails!

We stayed in an Airbnb which was just near beach and was a really good price, 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, larger kitchen dining room, living room.
It was close to ship, W and walk there a few times but still in middle of busy area , great shop and restaurants nearby

I dont think we've spoken because I would have remembered as that is awesome. My partner loves monsoon! When we discovered we weren't going I brought one of the custom t shirts on battlebots store in monsoon for my partner. The price of the shipping and import fees were not kind but his face made it all worth it. Safe to say we are big monsoon fans and wanted them to bring home the nut! That's our worry about the location changing, however we are pretty much happy to follow battle bots where ever they go. Thank you for the recommendations we will look into them. I know battlebots is always a last minute book but I love to have a few ideas and a plan. That's such excitement! Honestly, we cannot wait to be able to see them and other teams battle it out properly next year providing all is safe for everyone. Thanks so much for your reply its brightened our day

Thanks everyone I'm off to check out some of these hotels and air b and b options so that we have a plan. Ideally we wouldnt stay in the area for long but it will all depend on filming and our budget to be close. Well unless I can convince the partner to drive, which I'm working on!

That's so lovely that you're Monsoon fans! Obviously the team are all so disappointed, but Monsoon is ready to go when they get the green light.
Regarding driving, if you decide to drive I'd recommend not picking up the car from LAX when you arrive, you'll be very tired and jet-lagged and it's not a very nice drive from the airport, lots of multi-lane highway and very busy indeed at times. However once you're in the Long Beach area it's much easier. So I'd get a taxi or uber to the hotel then pick up the car from another local office, maybe Long Beach airport or another location. It'll be a smaller office so probably not as much choice of cars, but a lot easier to do after a good night's sleep. It's also worth "driving" the route on Streetview first. I'm about to send you a PM, can you check your messages please?
