Top Emerald Bay Hotel Reviews

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"It was such a nice stay! First time staying in a hotel with our baby boy and it was really clean, very neat, we all had such a great rest (we only stayed one night) but I was very sad when we left, I would definitely stay again. It was more of a walk to Disney than I thought but at the same time for the price that we got the room for- it was so worth it."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground

10/10 Excellent

"We were in room 1715 - when we checked in at 7:30pm the AC was blowing 90 degree heat. The maintenance team came right away and fixed it - but it stopped working in the middle of the night which made for a very uncomfortable stay. One of the bathrooms also reaked of sewage, it was so bad we had to keep the door shut the entire time. Lastly, since we were on the top floor, there are huge arched windows which means it's impossible to block out the light - which left my small child waking up with the sunrise! It would also be impossible for babies/kids or anyone who need a dark room to nap. I will say that the staff was great. And it's also awesome that the water playground is open until 10pm. "

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this property of the Clementine hotel. We stay here on a regular basis as we are Disneyland season ticket holders it is close enough to the park. The staff is amazing. They recognize us when we come in and know that we will take good care of our assigned rooms with a large family. I love having the kitchen amenities and being able to cook some meals there. They are pet friendly kid, friendly, and just amazing all the way around. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!!!"
