Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Ramada by Wyndham Anaheim Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Stay for 3 nights of our Disney vacation. This was basically a place to sleep. Breakfast was ok- multiple bread options, fresh cooked waffles , steamed eggs and sausage. This is a motel. So rooms are on the outside of the building. We were on the 1st floor- so we could hear cars park and carts roll over sidewalk. And walls are thin. And you could hear those above you. But as a place to crash, it was clean and ac/heat was a good under window machine."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

8/10 Good

"The property is kept clean, well lit and safe, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The AC worked well and it was great having a pool and hot tub on site. It was also nice to have a guest laundry on site. The short walking distance to Disneyland was a big bonus! The building is a bit older and we did have maintenance issues with our first room but they quickly moved us to a different room. Original room issues were: The door closed and locked but did not seal, letting in light and air at the threshold and down the side. New weather stripping was needed. There was enough of a gap that we could easily rattle the door in the frame which was worrisome when leaving the room for the day without the inside locks engaged. (nothing happened, it's a safe property) The shower head; water was spraying out of the pipe at the back of the showerhead into the bathroom and also into a hole in the drywall behind the showerhead. (we were moved out of that room) We did buy liquid hand soap and bodywash. The room did have a minifridge which was much appreciated for food and drink. Only microwave was in the lobby. There is a pod coffee maker in the room, and more brewed coffee in the lobby. Overall, we would stay here again as it was clean, friendly, and close to Disney."

Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing hotel to stay out while we were enjoying the nearby parks! It was a 21 minute walk to get to the park entrances through downtown Disney. Super easy, not chaotic. We enjoyed the hot tub and heated pool all three days. The hot breakfast was awesome. I will definitely stay here again."
