Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort

Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay if you’re looking to stay near the parks without breaking the bank to do so. Perfect if you care more about the thrills of the park instead of the frills of the hotel."

"This Hyatt location is my stay of choice whenever I am in the area. Our experience during our last visit was outstanding. We enjoyed the bar and restaurant where staff were friendly and ready to help. Everything from the bell service to the valet service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back again."

"The rooms were very clean. The hotel it self was very clean. Everyone who we encountered was really nice, except for one woman. The pool was nice but could use a little more shade. Overall we would stay again."

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We almost cancelled our stay here after some negative reviews, however after our 5 night stay to visit Disneyland I am pleased with our stay. Rooms were tidy and modern and air conditioning work perfectly. We didn’t upgrade to fireworks view as was often in the parks and had a lovely view of the pool. My only complaint is the lack of sun beds around the pool which was sometimes busy in the afternoon. It was a pleasant 10 minute walk to Disneyland (depending on traffic lights!) and had lots of options for groceries or eating out around the hotel."

Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort

Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The location was great for our Disney trip—very convenient and easy to get to Disneyland. The hotel was under renovation during our stay, so there was some construction around the property, but thankfully our room itself was clean and comfortable. The only issue was that the bathroom needed a refill of conditioner and body wash. I requested it, and they brought a bottle that night when we got back from Disney. By then, we were already exhausted and didn’t have the energy to wait for it, but better late than never! Overall, we had a good stay, and the location was definitely a highlight for a Disneyland trip. Hopefully, once the renovations are finished, the overall experience will be even better."
