Room was clean air conditioner worked great. Only thing it just needed a little upgrades. But other than that, it was a great place to stay.

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
The stay was good but we were a party of 8 with 3 rooms. I am the one that suggested your facility as I stayed there before and it was perfect. I felt bad when I was told some of my family’s rooms had very poor water pressure and the air did not work.

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton
I booked this stay several weeks in advance, however, once I arrived to check in I was told the room is not available. Extremely inconvenient.
