Grand Legacy At the Park

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful!! Large room. Comfortable beds. Very close walk to Disneyland!! Staff were friendly and helpful! We will be back!"

Hilton Anaheim

8/10 Good

"We were a party of 5 (3 teenage girls, my wife and me)so we got a suite. First day there, body wash was empty and shampoo was nearly empty and there were only 3 bath towels. That was after I noticed that there were no linens or pillows for the pull out sofa! I figured when they ask for all this information during the reservation, that they would accommodate the room as such. I guess I was wrong. After contacting guest services, everything was taken care of immediately. Which was great! We had a wonderful stay after all the minor details were sorted out. The lobby area with bar and restaurant was nice along with the food court ,Starbucks and convenient store. Pool and hot tub is always a bonus! They had a cute little rec area for corn hole during the day and a kids movie night in the evening. The shuttle to Disney was great as well! For the price of a Starbucks latte you can ride the shuttle back and forth all day. The hotel is close enough to walk to Disney, but if you plan to escape midday for some pool time or lunch/dinner outside the park. It’s a great way to maximize your time. All in all, we had a great time and use of the hotel and it’s amenities!"

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"It's a half mile walk to the Disneyland east gate or a short bus ride from S. Harbor & Katella on the public bus system, making it a great and affordable place to stay. The room was spacious and clean. Plenty of desk space and a big TV with lots of channels to watch, hot water kettle with instant coffee, microwave, refrigerator and room safe. Bathroom stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and the sink includes a soap bar and makeup remover wipes. The toilet is water saving but has a powerful flush too. And it has a combination bathtub and shower with excellent water pressure, a rarity to have a tub in today's hotels. Some things that surprised me about my stay, they have daily housekeeping, unlike other hotels that do it every other day; and they work from the morning to the early evening cleaning rooms. They have on-site dining with a bar, and next door is a restaurant open 24-hours, and a very short walk to the drugstore also open 24/7. A few issues, the ice machine was broken with no signage and was referred to another floor that had a functional one. On-site self service laundry room under construction. And the bed was firmer than I expected. The "park view" may not be worth it, when the neighboring hotel blocks a portion of that view, but the north tower means no rooms face the street (South Harbor), so you'll hear less noisy vehicles driving by."
