The Anaheim Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our family planned a Disneyland trip. The hotel was walking distance. We enjoyed our stay!"

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely love staying at The Lulu Hotel in Anaheim! We have stayed here multiple times, and it has quickly become one of our go-to hotels whenever we visit Disneyland. The biggest reason we continue to come back is the convenience. Being within walking distance of Disneyland makes our trips so much easier and more enjoyable. We love being able to park our car, walk to the parks, and not have to worry about driving or finding parking at Disneyland. Every stay has been a great experience, and the location is honestly hard to beat. After spending the day walking around Disneyland, it’s so nice knowing that the hotel is just a short walk away. It makes it easy to take a break, head back to the room, and return to the parks without the hassle of transportation. The rooms have always been comfortable and provide a great place to relax after a long day at the parks. The staff has also been friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. Overall, The Lulu Hotel is definitely a hotel we would recommend to anyone planning a Disneyland trip. The location, convenience, and overall experience are the main reasons we continue to stay here. We have booked multiple times and will absolutely continue coming back whenever we’re in Anaheim. If you want a hotel that’s close enough to walk to Disneyland and makes your trip more convenient, The Lulu is a great choice!"
