Top Balboa Island Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Check in and out was a breeze. There was some noise around midnight from people getting back from the park; but not a big deal, but if you are a light sleeper, just a heads up. I was in Anaheim to see Ghost over at the Honda center, and this location was really close and even closer to Disneyland. There was also plenty of parking (I got back from the concert at 11:30ish pm) on property. It’s a hidden gem and I will be utilizing this property for my next Disneyland trip or concert / Hockey game at the Honda Center. "
