Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn
My mirror had blood all over it when I checked in, and in spite of days of calls to the front desk an assurance it would be cleaned, it didn’t. On the third day I demanded a new room as my toddler was trying to touch it and clearly they don’t clean.

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Although the hotel is older, they keep it clean and the restaurant was fantastic! We actually feel like the restaurant meal we had was better than the ones we had in the parks! I’m not a big fan of $200 deposits taken by the hotel so I didn’t like that. Otherwise it was great.

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim
Everything was wonderful and cozy. Very close to Disneyland and other fun things. If we do another big family trip we’ll be staying here again!
