Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

Hilton Anaheim

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites
"Water pressure can make or break a hotel for me. After being in the parks all day I need a shower with strong water pressure. My shower didn’t have it. Also it took 3 tries at $4 a pop for the top dryer on the 4th floor to dry a small load of whites. Other than that no complaints."
