8/10 Good
"Hotel within walking distance to Disneyland. The staff was excellent and helpful. the hotel was clean with no issues. Only down side during our stay was the breakfast, while there was a variety to chose from it did not change daily except the egg dish. Was limited on diabetic offerings."

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent
"This is now on my top 5 places to stay near Disney. It was my first time staying there. It was a family trip with 4 adults and 4 kids ranging in ages from 2-17 and we all slept comfortably. Everything was clean. There were a couple things here and there I would have liked to have seen but nothing that was a big deal just preference. Breakfast was a simple, basic breakfast which is fine and was convenient for a big family when sometimes agreeing on where to eat can be difficult. Parking was a little inconvenient since we had to park on the opposite end of the property and our room was towards the front. AC was working great. Staff was friendly and the little store they have on site came in handy. Overall it was very enjoyable and will stay again in the future."

10/10 Excellent
"Check in/out was easy. Can tell that customer service is a priority at this hotel (which can be rare these days). Stayed here for a convention and easy to walk to (3rd hotel away from the Convention Center). We had one of the renovated rooms and it was clean with a refrigerator and walk-in shower. The only odd layout of the hotel was that the main lobby, restaurant, bar was in a separate building from the rooms (not a big deal). Would definitely stay here again!"
