The Anaheim Hotel

The Anaheim Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a 2-king room, which is hard to find, but was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The room was nice, the ac got cold, and the shower got warm. The walk to the Disney Parks was a breeze, and several breakfast establishments are within walking distance, too. The pizza place on property was very good and we enjoyed the pool. You could even see some disney fireworks from the courtyard area. The giftshop looks closed at odd hours but they were always willing to open up so we could grab an energy drink on the way to the parks, or a beer on the way home. Would stay here again!"
