Holiday Inn Anaheim 'at the Park'
I've found it to be ONE-HALF of the price of hotels near the convention center full service hotel, near Disneyland and area attractions, comfortable rooms, balcony overlooks Disney
We stayed here for a couple of nights during our 17 day tour of "California and the Golden West" and could not fault the hotel at all.
There was a bus to Disneyland which ran frequently, and a ticket machine just outside the main door of the hotel to purchase your bus ticket in advance.
Unfortunately I cannot give you any prices as it was paid within the tour costs. There was also a lovely pool which caught the sunshine most of the day.
The hotel has a lovely restaurant, and breakfast was superb
Returning home for a visit, we decided to stay at a hotel that was both close to the freeway as well as Disneyland. Being that this hotel was fairly new, we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised by the clean room, spacious bathroom, nice pool area, Disneyland shuttle service, and great price. Compared to the older, smaller, more expensive hotels closer to the park, this place is the only place for our family to stay in Anaheim.
We recently stayed at the Holiday Inn for 3 nights over 4th of July weekend. We chose this hotel because the website said that they are a new property. When we arrived in town via John Wayne airport we were given incorrect directions twice by the front desk staff. After an hour of confusion (it is normally a 15 minute drive) we made it to the hotel. Upon arrival we were given a room right in front of the elevators even though we requested to be as far away from them as possible (not that big of a deal though). Our room seemed small, cramped and old. The comforter had holes in it and it looked and felt dirty. The air conditioner was extremely loud and woke me up everytime it turned on. The maid service was not the best either. We had children in our room (which can get a little messy) and each time we came back from Disneyland their minor messes were overlooked (a cookie on the floor for example). The halls and neighboring rooms are very loud so sleeping in past 7am is impossible. The beds and pillows are terribly uncomfortable and they seem well worn in already. Our view from our room was of a run down trailer park. We were also told upon check-out that there would be a shuttle to take us to John Wayne airport so we waited for almost an hour. When it arrived the first bus was too full so we waited an additional 30 minutes for another shuttle. The next one was going to LAX before John Wayne so we had to call a taxi and almost missed our flight. Some of the positives of this hotel are: Disneyland shuttle bus service ($3 pp each way) which runs every 10-20 minutes, children eat free in the restaurant, their gift/snack shop is reasonably priced and open 24 hours a day, the room also includes a hair dryer. The front desk staff were very nice and even offered us free red vines. Overall, this is a decent hotel but certainly not my first choice. If you stay here I would recommend staying no more then 1-2 nights max.
We also stayed here over the 4th, but for 8 nights. Again, I was swayed by the claim of a "new" hotel.
Bads - Wire closet unit ends not all protected, wife sliced finger; air conditioning either high (very loud) or off; kid suite room was very small, basically regulary room with kid area in place of second bed; kid area frame broken by my four year old (made with staples); "shop" is a couple of snacks and soaps on a shelf; nothing else within walking distance; no microwave; lack of closet/dresser space.
Goods - pool and hot tub nice and clean; exercise room looked OK (I was on vacation); kid's thought kid area was cool; kid's own TV; cleaning service was good; plenty of parking.
Misc - This is not the easiest place to get to as its on a one-way street (basically an onramp) away from Disneyland. We constantly saw people waiting at the shuttle stop, glad we rented a car. They boast free laundry, but have two washers and a dryer in a closet on the 9th floor - we went offsite. They had a gamecube with free games and controllers for the kid's area, but it quit working sometime during the week. When we tried to check in at 1:00, was told room would be ready at 3:00. Asked if they had a restaurant - told we could go poolside to the snack shop - went to Bakers Square down the road.
Overall - will not stay here again.
We stayed here at the end of April. The room was very clean and the staff was great. The pool/hot tub area is very large. We utilized ART (Anaheim Resort Transit) for our trips to Disneyland. This was great. The tram comes directly to the hotel, no hassles with parking, dropped off outside the ticket booths. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for Dinner and a breakfast. The food quality was ok, prices were a little steep for what they had to offer. The donut shop up on Katella was a better breakfast. If you are in the mood for Hawaiian, there is a great place a few miles North on College. Next time we go we will definitely put this hotel at the top of our list.
My family visited this hotel Aug1-6 It was nice and New , but it also said it could sleep 5 which we did with someone on the floor! anyways we managed. the front desk people seemed put out by special requests like extra towels although we did recive them. the laundry room is gross don't go there!! My kids loved the game room and pool and the maid service was wonderful. I would stay here agian but I would bring a cot.
VERY disappointed by our hotel and holiday - do not advise anyone to stay in this hotel due mainly to: 1.Location - hotel is on the side of the Freeway and therefore very noisy. LA has constant heavy traffic which means that you can not relax at the pool or open your window at night. Hotel is away from restaurants or any form of tourist attraction. 2.Air Conditioning is very noisy - far too noisy to have on! We have stayed in a lot of hotels in USA and have never heard anything like it!! (Obviously the room was therefore stuffy which again made it hard to sleep). 3.No Sound Proofing - walls were modern/ thin cardboard stud walls - we could hear conversations and tv next door all the time. People constantly banging doors shut certainly wakes you up through the night - EVERY NIGHT! 4.Poor health/ safety- no brollies for shade (staff not concerned - but I suffered heat stroke), no life-guard, washing machines clogged up and not maintained, night staff unhelpful/ unprepared when doctor needed regarding heatstroke. 5.Pool is much smaller than appears on photo and is shared with hotel nextdoor - only 20 sunbeds for approx 500 rooms ? 6.Buffet breakfast cancelled without warning - expensive to substitute. 7.Wardrobes - very small - 1/2 a robe only for hanging a family's clothes? 8. Bath is tiny!!! 9.On a positive note - most staff very friendly. However, we have returned home exhausted due to lack of sleep - traffic, air-con, doors etc - NOW NEED A HOLIDAY TO RECOVER!!
stayed here for a week in middle of august.beautiful clean hotel with an excellent breakfast.no complaints,thoroughly recommended. dont forget to visit the shops etc at the block complex half a mile down the road, a great place to spend your hard earned cash!
We stayed here for 7 nights at the end of Aug and were quite impressed with this hotel. It was very clean and nicely decorated, and the room was a fair size. We never found the noise of the Hwy or the neighbors a problem, but the air cond. was a bit noisey. Its best to get a pool view as that cuts down on the Hwy noise. The fridge and safe were a nice bonus, and although the laundry room was a mess and not in great working order, it was nice to get some laundry done and for free at that. My advice is to do it during the day as it is very busy in the PM, and there is only 3 washers and 2 dryers for the whole hotel, and to take your own bleach! The staff was very friendly and helpful but the resturant always cancelled the buffet breakfast without notice, which was disappointing to my husband and teenaged son! The pool is nice and the hottub is big and the Trolly only takes about 10 mins, if that, to get to DL. I guess the only downfall would be the location if you didn't have a vehical to get around. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a classier type place to stay in Anaheim with out the higher type prices. We'll be staying here again thats for sure!
