About The Maya
- The property opened in 1975 as a commuter hotel, later carried Coast and Travelodge names, and celebrated its fiftieth birthday by becoming independent in 2025.
- A $20 million transformation completed in 2009 turned the former Coast Long Beach into Hotel Maya, with modern Latin American interiors and a new waterfront restaurant.
- Hotel Maya joined DoubleTree by Hilton in 2010 and kept the affiliation for nearly fifteen years before returning to its own name.
