Spotless and spacious room, great for big families. The proximity to the park was also great, a 15 minute walk. Parking was also good. Check in and check out was speedy and friendly service.

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.
