Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn
Great hotel for a great price! Nice and friendly staff. Good walking distance to the Disneyland. Breakfast was decent. The pools and hot tubs were a plus. We loved all of the cute character bushes by the pool. Beds were comfy. We will definitely stay here again.

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
The outside grounds and the exterior look charming. The lobby is also very nice. Unfortunately we were given a room in the second, and apparently quite neglected, second building.

Hotel Huntington Beach
Air handling unit broke in the middle of night one. Requested repairs were unable to be completed. Was moved to another room for night too. First room was in really bad shape. Second room was much nicer.

Grand Legacy At the Park
I thought I got double queen beds but they upgraded three full beds for family of 5 (2 adults & 3kids). They have mini fridge, microwave, tv and air conditioning. Everything I needed was satisfactory! Kids were happy to sleep comfortably in the bed.
