Nice Clean Family Suite
Pros:

We had a 4 bed family suite for our Disneyland trip. It was clean and comfortable. The front desk and housekeepers were friendly. A short walk to the park and the family suite with a decent price makes this a perfect place to stay.

Great Rooms and Location - Highly Recommended
Pros:

Overall we were very happy with our stay. Right across the street from the Harbor street entrance to Disney, so you can’t beat that location. Staff were super friendly and had no issues. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking to make your Disney trip easier and will definitely stay here again in the future!

Decent stay
Pros:

It was clean, beds were not very comfortable as well as the bedding, not very comfortable.
Our room was on the 2nd floor and near the ice machine.. very noisy a couple of times..
Front desk was great! Loved that we could park our car there early while we went to Dland. And the walk to Dland was literally right across the street of Main gate.. 5-6 min walk

Affordable, Convenient, Comfortable and Accessible: the Disneyland hotel for YOU.
Pros:

If you are visiting the Disneyland theme parks you cannot beat this location for an off-park hotel. This is not Disney luxury: it is family friendly, with an indoor pool, breakfast and very comfortable rooms. Denny’s is on one side, and Cold Stone Creamery and IHOP are on the other, for off park quick bites. And the Parks entrance is directly across the street: during our visit, most of our family went back to their room at some point for rest and rejuvenation midday, when the sun was hottest. It couldn’t be more convenient, unless you are staying at a Disney park hotel. But a much more affordable option.

Good place to stay for visiting Disney!
Pros:

We were delayed checking in because rooms weren't ready. They got one room made up so we had a place to hang out until other room was ready. There was no self parking spaces, but valet parked without additional charge - and had car sitting at top of ramp when we went to check out - nice! Continental breakfast was minimal - would be really nice if there was a waffle maker! The location is very handy to Disneyland - just across the street. There's a Walgreens and CVS a couple blocks away which was handy. There are also several restaurants nearby and a cold stone. Regarding Disney, be sure to catch the color parade and fireworks at Disney and the water show at California Adventure. There is a viewing deck on the roof - can see fireworks from there, but we suggest sitting by either the castle or it's a small world to get the full effect.

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 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.
