Queen Mary is fun, and Sir Winston's is a damn good restaurant. Not sure I'd stay there for three nights. The rooms are a bit cramped (even the suites)...duh given the venue. The other thing is that there's not much else to do around Long Beach.

Grab a night there, and then go have some fun at Disneyland...and stay at the Grand Californian. Good shopping and the drinking around the fairly new California Adventure addition. You're also close to Newport Beach and Laguna Beach for shopping/meals/sights.

Santa Barbara...the Canary Hotel. One block off of the best part of State Street (downtown). We've held a few conferences there...great rooms/decor/food.

Frisco (aka San Francisco or the City for those with tight panties)...gotta stay at the St. Francis on Union Square or the Fairmont or Mark Hopkins on Nob Hill.

Just trust me...it'll just take a few extra Big Macs and the wifey will wuv you big time.
