Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"It’s not the fanciest place to stay, but it’s useful for what it is. The room was nice and clean, I would get additional towels and toilet paper when I didn’t even ask for any. Everyone I encountered was very nice and accommodating. If you need a place to stay while at Disneyland and you are on a budget, stay at the 6!"

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Nice bed. It’s very comfy. Awesome pool and fun little water park. They have 2 hot tubs. Best hotel gym I ever been in. They have a barbell and smith machine. They even have a hip thruster machine. They have a shuttle to Disneyland and Toy Story lot is across if you decide to park there too. Not a bad walk to Katella if you need to go to a pharmacy or eat out there."

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a bright, clean lobby and friendly staff who checked us in without any hassle. The room itself felt a bit dated, but it was well-equipped with everything we needed. The fridge and air conditioning unit were initially very loud. When maintenance came, the technician mentioned the AC noise was normal, but he kindly replaced the fridge—which significantly reduced the noise level! The shower was disappointing, only getting lukewarm at best. On one day, it stayed completely cold; reception informed us there was an ongoing boiler issue. The shuttle bus is a nice bonus feature, but it’s quite unreliable, so I wouldn’t recommend depending on it—it’s great only if your timing happens to line up. The pool could have used a good cleaning, though it served its purpose well enough for a quick dip. Pros: Comfortable bed Convenient 10-minute walk to Disneyland Close to local shops and restaurants Great staff/housekeeping Cons: Unreliable shuttle bus Hotel is slightly outdated Weak, lukewarm shower"

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay for families visiting Anaheim! We recently stayed here with our family, including two kids, and had a wonderful experience. The property is neatly maintained, clean, and comfortable. One of the biggest highlights for us was the convenient shuttle service—it runs every 15 minutes and is incredibly reasonably priced for a full day pass. Additionally, the hotel offers ample parking, which took away a lot of holiday stress. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hassle-free family stay!"

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are spacious and clean. A few signs of wear and tear which is normal but nothing that takes away from the overall experience. The front desk agents are friendly and the guest experience agents are kind and helpful. Having a store on property makes it convient to get drinks, coffee and food. I do wish there was a easier way to communicate before arriving on property for things like late check in services. Overall a fantastic experience."
