Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
"Stayed in the section known as the tower, and it’s not as new or pretty as the main building but still over all a very nice stay. The hallways didn’t have AC but the room did and that was all that matters for a mid-August stay."

"The tower that we were put in was extremely dated and didn’t look any different than a Motel 6."
