"Checked in pretty late into the evening, but surprisingly got a nice room upgrade from the front desk staff. Lovely view of the water/Queen Mary. The room was spacious and clean. My favorite part of the room had to be the balcony. We had to spend some time enjoying the view before bed. King bed was the cherry on top. Would love to enjoy a staycation here again!!!"

Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

"Perfect hotel to walk to Disney. ! It was clean and the staff was friendly ! The only thing is the bed was a little small but besides that room was clean perfect size ! The breakfast was good and had a lot of options ! Would def stay here again if we get back out to Cali to Disneyland !"

The Westin Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome service from the front desk, at breakfast, room service, and house keeping. What makes this 4 stars rather than 5 is the bell hops actively hid and avoided being helpful with luggage when we checked in and out. No clue why, there were lots of them looking bored. But good location so may stay again anyways."
