Top Southern California Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

8/10 Good
"The area is pretty quiet and the walk to Disney is not bad at all. The pool area looked nice, I didn’t get to enjoy it but quite a few people did. It looked clean from what I saw. The coffee in the lobby was good & strong which is rare at most hotels. The room was clean enough (I am personally a very very clean person, I clean my place pretty much daily) so maybe I am being too picky. I can honestly say the towels and sheets smelled decent here. You know how sometimes the towels have an unclean smell. These did not. For the price of a night at this location I would recommend."

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

8/10 Good
"The one drawback to our stay was the cleanliness of the room. I noted other people’s hair, eyelashes, and sand-like particles throughout the top of the fitted sheet. This instantly made me significantly concerned as to what I had potentially exposed my son and I to. Additionally, there was strands of long black hair in our bath tub that just added to my concern in regard to the cleanliness of our room and although the amenities were great and the staff was wonderful and the location was close enough to walk, these components of uncleanliness placed a real damper in my opinion of the hotel and unfortunately, I don’t know if I could in good faith ever book another stay at this hotel."
