Top Central Hotel Reviews

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the property loved the employees and loved location"

Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel. We've stayed here many times in the past but stopped because the room rates were getting pretty high for us. We saw a good deal on Expedia and decided to try this oldie but goodie. We love that it's family owned; love supporting small businesses. The breakfast they offer is really good and more than enough to get you started on your day! There are hot scrambled eggs; some days they have sausage patties, other days they have ham. They have potatoes, pancakes or French toast sticks; there's yogurt with granola fixings, there are pastries, bagels and cream cheese, bread for toast, hot and cold cereals, milk, a wide variety of juices, coffee, hot chocolate, and all the fixings you'd need to have a good meal before going to the parks or to a convention. Breakfast is from 6am-9am. This is really good for people trying to make rope drop! The pools are large and clean as are the jacuzzis! There is a nice workout room with treadmills and other equipment. There are laundry facilities. It's really good! It's about a 20 minute walk to the esplanade. They do have a shuttle service that is $15 for up to 8 people. There is a number at their front desk that you call to arrange transport with. What's another 15 minutes of walking at the end of the night when you've already done so much walking while in the park? On the way back, you can cut through the Grand California Hotel and shave about 5 minutes off the walk back. On the 3rd floor we had a view of fireworks."

Anaheim Resort Suites

8/10 Good

"The facilities and rooms were good, good sized rooms and great pool and slides. But the whole facility is getting a bit run down, the pictures don't quite represent it. The staff weren't that helpful either, more interested in security staff for the pool area than customer service. Definitely overpriced for what you get."
