Top California Hotel Reviews

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"I really enjoy this hotel. I've noticed some lack of care in room maintenance. Not cleanliness but functionality. Our drain plug in the sink was stuck down. The shower head was so clogged that the already poor water pressure was non existent. The last time I was here we had an accessible room and the shower assist chair was, in my opinion dangerous. It was unsecured and fell over easily. I do really enjoy this hotel. Please do room maintenance upgrades!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"In general The Dana is a great place . I am being picky giving a 4 star for the maintenance of out door grasses with gardeners seeming to need to make noise mowing or trimming main grass Parkside (next to bay) not just one day but 2 or 3 days 7:00-8:00 am. One day should get the job done. Our balcony needed to be washed down from bird droppings. The rooms are clean and the place is very dog friendly. The pool next to the Firefly Restaurant was very clean and nice with enough umbrellas . Staff were great , friendly and helpful. Nice bar drinks and restaurant food varied. Outdoor dining a plus. Pretty lights at night. Grounds have nice tropical Plants everywhere. Friendly and nice to walk the grounds."
