Grand Legacy At the Park

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were soo friendly, pool was pretty good. loved the free slushies and cute gifts. We loved our stay!!"

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it!! We stay here all the time"

The Anaheim Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the convenience of the Anaheim Hotel! Loaded with amenities, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and can’t beat the proximity to Disneyland. The one negative for me was the AC; it was a smaller unit, placed in a corner right in front of a bed… as you can imagine, this did not help a whole lot even on full blast in the middle of a heatwave. I will say the renovations to the room were nice and it felt new, for a hotel that’s been around for a long time. I didn’t get to experience the pool, though the DJ brought the energy. Overall, would recommend as a convenient stay with plenty to do for Disney goers! Definitely has resort like vibes."

Tropicana Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"I booked this hotel because of its location to Disney and it was a great choice. A quick walk and we were at the park. The valet helped with the car as there was no self parking spots available anymore. The check in was not as great as one of the hosts had a very dry demeanor. Our room wasn’t ready yet as it was only 2:30 and check in was at 4. We stored our luggage and went to have ice cream to wait but since Cold Stone did not have seating and it was extremely hot outside we went back to the lobby to wait. We sat in the lobby and noticed the other receptionist give rooms out and she was very friendly. I assumed that maybe it was different room types and those were available and not a king size room we had reserved. Despite sitting a few feet away in the lobby I was never told that a room was available and not until an hour later and I approached the receptionist she was matter factly said yes we have a room available. She had a cold vibe. Despite her we had a great stay. The convenience store on the premises was a plus as we got very cold water in the middle of the hot day and at the end of the night some snacks before going to bed."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"Just amazing understanding staff. I thank all of you even the comadre talkers. If they unstood hard times it would be different but God is putting some of us through lessons we need to learn. Thank you front desk for the compassionate service"
