7.8/10 Good! (1,665 reviews)
Excellent no-frills hotel within walking distance of Anaheim’s most popular attractions. I was not visiting any of the nearby tourist hot spots, so I chose this hotel for its perfect location, situated just far enough away from them. Friendly staff is a plus, and free parking for hotel guests is an even bigger plus (parking is notoriously limited in Anaheim to dissuade park guests from walking to Disneyland without paying for the park’s official parking.) Hotel was clean with no visible damage outside or in. It could be said that the only downside was excessive noise bleed from the room’s thin doors with fairly weak locks. At times it sounded like conversations from the world outside were right in the room with me. Nevertheless, I’d recommended considering this hotel for your trip if you’re open to an unassuming no-nonsense room with no excessive detractors.
