Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was decent. The shuttle service was a huge perk!"

Grand Legacy At the Park

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The maintenance staff was very friendly. Not a whole lot of counter space in the bathroom. A circuit breaker blew during the middle of the night so nothing charged. When we went to the front desk, the night monitor on duty said there was nothing he could do until maintenance got there. Our phones were dead and our Disney bands didn’t charge so our trip to Disney was delayed until we could get things charged. Quick 5 minute walk to Disney. They do have complimentary coffee in the morning, but it would be nice if they also left out the water as well."

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

8/10 Good

"Negatives-The hotel room had a weird smell, the door to the bedroom didn't lock, and the pool was being updated so wasn't available. We were told we could go to a nearby hotel's pool for free, but that just didn't end up being convenient for us. Also, parking was difficult on the weekends. You will not be near your room! Positives-every staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, every day. It had multiple types of eggs, hash browns, meat, cereal, yogurt, fruit, bagels, etc.They have 5 waffle makers! The most I've seen anywhere else was 2. There is a kids activity room next to the eating area that was fun. Related to Disney-I read reviews that this was walkable, and reviews that it's not. That really depends on your energy levels, shoes, etc. We are fairly active, and tried walking our first 2 days, but it is about a 25 to 30 minute walk. We drove to the parks the last 2 days and found that much easier, especially after a long day at the parks."

The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED this place. The gym was awesome, the pool was THE BEST pool I’ve ever been to. It was so warm I will literally go back just for that pool and there’s a bar and they also bring you food, the splash pad was awesome. It was a really nice hotel, the rooms were SO comfy. The only things I didn’t like were paying $40 per night for parking cause that felt like a rip off, should be included in the fee. The market was closed like most of the time (we stayed 3 nights) it was closed majority of the time we were there so if you have little ones just make sure you get your essentials. The restaurant also closed early and the prices were very high so plan to eat elsewhere.. I also was very disappointed that we couldn’t take kids up on the rooftop to see the fireworks, that was a huge bummer. One of the main reasons I booked was so we could watch the fireworks from the rooftop, they locked the doors up at the top. It’s unfortunate they don’t give more access up on the rooftop"
