The Anaheim Hotel

Simple but spacious, the lobby at this hotel is light and well-lit and features a marble reception desk where guests can both check in and purchase tickets for Disneyland. The space received much-needed renovations after our visit, adding colorful mid-century modern chairs and couches, clear plastic tables, and contemporary striped carpeting. In the corner is a small business center with a computer and a printer. There's also an ATM and the entrance to the on-site restaurant and lounge bar is shared with the hotel lobby. The grounds are colorful and well-maintained, with gardens, greenery, paths, and a gazebo.

Located on busy South Harbor Boulevard, the Anaheim Hotel is a large property with multiple clusters of buildings, directly across from the main entrance to Disneyland. Although Disneyland is the main attraction in the area, a variety of chain restaurants and gift shops are next door to the property.

Rooms at this hotel are spacious and tidy, but a bit plain, particularly in contrast to modern common areas, and are decorated in shades of burgundy, gold, and white. Guests can choose between standard rooms with two queens or a single king, or can book larger family suites that include two adjoining rooms. Every room includes a microwave, coffeemaker, mini-fridge, and cable TV, and some also feature a balcony or patio.

Designed for families, couples, and groups traveling to Disneyland and other major Anaheim attractions, this budget property has a wide variety of convenient features and amenities. The on-site restaurant, Pizza Press, serves a full buffet breakfast as well as dinner, and also offers room service. The renovated Front Room Lounge, located off the lobby, serves craft cocktails and bar food from a stylish brewpub space. A poolside menu is also available. Tickets to Disneyland are can be purchased at the front desk, and a gift shop and car rental desk are also near the lobby. The large grounds have a courtyard and a gazebo as well as a big heated pool and whirlpool. A spacious arcade-style game room with a laundry room off to one side is available during the day. A free daily buffet breakfast is included, but there are additional charges for both Wi-Fi and parking.
