Friendly staff clean rooms great amenities and love the welcoming gift as a gold elite member. Small draw back is how hard it is to close the balcony window but overall fantastic stay highly recommend

Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort
Hotel was clean and All staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel it self is a bit dated but the beds are comfortable and it’s close to Toy Story Shuttle/parking which was a huge perk for getting to Disneyland park. We would definitely stay here again.
