Very nice property close walking distance to Disneyland. I asked for 2 joined rooms but they were not able to accommodate.

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Clean room, staff was friendly, great shuttle drivers. Only issue and it isn't even really a complaint is small elevators. When we had the stroller or luggage we are couldn't fit in one trip. But we just took 2 trips or 2 elevators

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim
This is a great place overall. Lots of space, very comfortable and walkable to the parks (although not extremely close. It’s about a 15 minute walk). Was very, very disappointed, however, that the pool was closed for 6 weeks while we were there and we were not notified in advance.

Hotel Huntington Beach
Room was quite spacious for my family and kids. Hotel was clean. Ice machine on our floor. Housekeeping very helpful. The two cons were the phones weren’t working so we’d have to go down to the front desk to ask for things. The other con was the women’s bathroom light in the pool was not working. ...
