Top Central Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"The Breakfast and Dinner were very good and delicious, nice bar area to watch a game,drink a cold beer and were open late."

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and the staff was wonderful. Very convenient hotel with transport to the Disney parks. Parking is very expensive however so plan accordingly. Elevators can be slow and the property definitely shows its age in the rooms specifically. However my stay overall was great and I would be happy to return again."
