Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn
I've stayed at many hotels around Disneyland and felt like this one was a top option compared to others. Great location that is walking distance to the parks, clean rooms, friendly staff and a good variety of breakfast items. I will be staying here again!

Hilton Anaheim
Their system was down. We kept checking and they said we can’t do anything since systems are down. They couldn’t give me the king bed that was requested and booked at time of booking.
