Top hotels in Cowan Heights
Hilton Anaheim
Check in was quick and easy. Staff were nice and helpful. We paid for pool view but unfortunately the view was disappointing as we’re were on the lower level and can only see a corner of the pool. Shuttle service to Disneyland was cheap but wait was long. Would stay here again but wouldn’t pay extra ...

Stayed here with my kids and it was a great experience. The hotel felt safe, clean, and welcoming. The pool was a big hit, and the staff was very accommodating. It’s also close to major attractions, which made everything easier. Perfect for a family trip!
