Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
The room was so big! I had so much room to move around and store my things. It was also very clean.

Hilton Anaheim
The room was fantastic! I got upgraded without even asking. The only thing I found disappointing was the prices at the hotel for everything was sky high! $6 fo a small water! The free water serviced at the conference tasted like it was from the tap. Other than that, it was great.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground
The room was very clean and updated, the staff was friendly and very accommodating - they put our two rooms together and our room came equipped with an infant crib. The splash park was perfect for our toddlers during breaks from Disneyland. The store was open and fully stocked with anything we could ...

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim
Room was perfect for our family, staff was friendly and helpful. Only issue was the ice makers in fridge made maybe 12-24 cubes a day, which wasn’t enough for our family of 7, and their property ice maker wasn’t working. Free shuttle was available but it was also close enough to walk.
