Top Emerald Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The Lulu has always been a good hotel. I have stayed here before in the past and it was just as I remembered it. The beds are comfortable, it is clean and well maintained. The staff was nice and helpful when we needed things. It is a bit far of a walk to Disneyland, so you'll get your early exercise on."

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, property and building were very clean. Located conveniently close to the John Wayne Airport (the free shuttle offered by the hotel was great too). The area itself was very nice. Restaurant and front desk staff were especially helpful. Only downside was that it is located right next to a major freeway which was audible in our room. Not terrible, but noticeable. Entirely outweighed by the positives. I would definitely stay here again."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

8/10 Good

"Everything was good accept the room was not ready on time and when you have three kids, it creates problems. The front desk guy put our family in a handicap room with no bathtub. I reserved a regular room. The front desk guy argued with me because he said the handicap room did have a bathtub when in reality it didn't. A lack of accountability and a lack of knowledge of the hotel room layouts should be addressed my management."

Anaheim Resort Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing. It was always warm and delicious. The cleaning lady at our table was so kind anf greeting us every morning. The ladybwho cleaned our room was also so kind and understanding. We were still in our room and she said she would be back. I was worried we missed the opportunity to but she indeed returned and left it very clean."

The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at The Viv Hotel in Anaheim! The staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their kindness and willingness to help made our stay so much more enjoyable. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. very chic, modern, and spotless. Every area was clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere felt both luxurious and welcoming. We also absolutely loved the rooftop!! It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views. The restaurant was fantastic as well, with delicious food and a great atmosphere. Every part of our experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Anaheim!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground

8/10 Good

"Waterpark was great for the kids. The shower temperature kept fluctuating from lukewarm to somewhat warm which was mildly infuriating. The sink temp stayed nice and hot though. There was one dead cockroach in front of the bed but we saw no live ones... Staff were friendly and helpful"
