I will not stay again!
Pros:

Unfortunately, my stay started on the wrong foot. At check-in, the front desk associate pulled up the wrong reservation, which belonged to another guest. Because of that mistake, I was initially charged the incorrect amount. Although the error was corrected, I somehow ended up being charged more than the rate I had originally been quoted. When I asked for an explanation, I was told the discrepancy was due to newer employees who "didn't know what they were doing." I found that response unprofessional and disappointing.

The hotel advertises a continental breakfast, but guests should know there is no real dining area. You're given something to eat, but your only options are to take it back to your room or eat outside in the parking lot.

Parking is another challenge. There are very few self-parking spaces available, and if the lot is full, you're required to use the valet service.

Finally, the mattress was much firmer than I prefer. If you enjoy a very hard mattress, this may not be an issue for you, but I found it uncomfortable.

Overall, there were several avoidable issues that made the stay less enjoyable than expected.

If the shutters are open you would be able to see in any other room, there are no true blinds.

The only thing I can say about this hotel that is good is the location to Disney.

Across the street from Disneyland!
Pros:

We celebrated our parents 60th anniversary with a reunion with all six siblings in a two room suite. Our second time staying, and it won't be our last!

5 Star Hotel with 5 Star Service!
Pros:

Our stay was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The location alone deserves five stars—being directly across the street from Disneyland was an absolute dream. It honestly couldn't have been more convenient. After spending a full day in the parks, we were able to walk back to the hotel in just a few minutes without dealing with traffic, parking garages, or shuttles. It made our entire trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable.

The room exceeded every expectation. It was absolutely spotless when we arrived—not a single detail was overlooked. Everything felt fresh, clean, and incredibly well maintained. We were traveling with five people, and the room was surprisingly spacious. The two queen beds plus the sofa bed provided plenty of comfortable sleeping space, and we never felt cramped. There was always enough room to move around comfortably, organize our luggage, and unwind after long park days.

One of the things we appreciated most was the daily housekeeping service. Every single day we returned to a room that looked just as immaculate as when we first checked in. The housekeeping team did an outstanding job keeping everything clean, replacing towels, making the beds perfectly, and making sure the room always felt fresh and welcoming.

The daily parking fee also includes complimentary valet service whenever you need it, which was such a nice convenience.

The continental breakfast was another highlight. It offered a great variety of options and saved us both time and money each morning.

The on-site laundry is $4 per wash and $4 per dry.

Most importantly, every staff member we encountered was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. From check-in to check-out, everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and felt right at home. Their kindness and professionalism made us feel like valued guests throughout our entire stay.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely stay here again on our next Disneyland trip!

This is the place for us.
Pros:

This was probably our 5th or 6th stay at the Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites, and it has yet to disappoint. The location is perfection, the rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be staying here again for our next Disney trip.

Convenient and good qualities
Pros:

The Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites is located directly across from one of Disneyland, California Adventure park, and Disney Down Town. We found the beds to be comfortable and rooms clean. The bathroom set up was convenient for getting ready for our adventure in the morning. We would definitely recommend this hotel

great location
Pros:

We've stayed here a handful of times. We appreciate the customer service. It's always good. Our groceries arrived before we did. They held them for us. We let them know we wouldn't be in until 1:30 am. They made sure to hold our room and not mark us as a no-show. Being directly across the street from Disneyland is great. The price was affordable. The room was clean, had a fridge, and a microwave. We had a parlor suite A. It worked well for us. Denny's, IHop, McDonald's, & Tony Roma's are right next door. The Anaheim Garden Walk is about a 10-15 minute walk. We will stay here again. The location is great and so is the price.

Great location with basic necessities
Pros:

Great location, older hotel with furniture but had everything we needed. Breakfast was later especially on a Monday with limited options. Staff was nice in the front desk and valet. Lady in the common breakfast area was not very friendly. Love the roof top view of the fireworks. We have stayed here multiple times.

Great hotel & staffing with an unbeatable location
Pros:

First time staying here. The hotel and valet staff was great. The room was nice and all we needed. The location is unbeatable. They could get by on location only, but they still have first rate staffing and hospitality. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Can’t beat the location!
Pros:

If you’re planning a 1-2 night stay for Disney, you can’t beat the location!! It’s all families staying here; I felt safe. There is 24 hr valet parking so staff are around the property. I’ve machines were working great, there is a viewing deck for fireworks if you happen to not be at the park and overall it was clean given it’s not a high-end place. The only negative is the “hot breakfast” is a joke. Don’t even bother. Boiled eggs and some imitation little Debbie’s in packages, along with juice and coffee. Other than that, we stayed for the location and it was amazing to walk across the street from Disney and be able to lay down and rest when needed. Staff was amazing too and they were super accommodating with parking.

Perfect Location, Comfortable Stay
Pros:

Overall, we had a great stay. The location is perfect and made it easy to get where we needed to go. The room wasn’t anything fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and worked well for our family. We especially appreciated the extra little room, which was great for the kids and gave everyone a bit more space.

Parking can be a bit of a situation, but if you aren’t constantly coming and going like we were, it’s manageable. We ended up leaving our car parked until checkout. The fact that valet is available 24/7 is definitely a nice convenience.

My only major complaint was the noise from the room next to us. The guests decided to throw a surprise birthday party at 12:30 a.m., complete with singing “Happy Birthday” and blowing party whistles. It woke up everyone in our room, including the kids who had already been asleep. Other than that, we had a positive experience and would consider staying here again.

Great, affordable room!
Pros:

The perfect location for Disneyland! It is just a basic room, nothing fancy, but just want we needed! We were only in the room to sleep and get ready in the mornings, we didn’t even have time to use the pool. I did think the hours on the pool was great! I also didn’t get to use the roof for the fireworks but that’s a nice option as well!

Perfect location. Clean.
Pros:

This was the 2nd time we stayed here. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed it! The location is perfect! It’s right across from the parks entrance! We had a suite which was basically two hotel rooms with a separate area/pull out couch. We felt it was very clean (although I’m still just the type of person who disinfects everything when I get there anyway)… the beds were firm and VERY comfortable. It’s very quiet and you don’t hear people in rooms next to you like other hotels. The blinds in the windows let some light in, so if you need it super dark, this may bother you at night. The continental breakfast leaves something to be desired but it’s convenient if you’re not picky and don’t want to go to Dennys or iHOP which are both literally right next door. For the location, cleanliness, and price, this hotel is a WIN for us! Perfect for families, especially for quick afternoon trips back to the room for an afternoon nap or swim.
