Review from Sharon L.
Rio Vista, CA

I stayed here for a company convention. I guess the main word I would use for this hotel is "efficient".
The check in was efficient and friendly.
The room was small, but efficient. It had a refridgerator, which is a big "plus" in my book. There was a coffe maker with OK coffee. The bed was comfortable. My room also had a balcony, as did many of the rooms. The maid service was efficient.
The pool had a lot of children in it. Well, what should I expect so close to Disneyland? But, it really wasn't a pool for swimming laps or anything like that.
The fitness center was very nice and well-equipped. That is always a must for me. They had towels, water and fruit. Each treadmill had a TV with closed captioning. There were clean earphones for those who like to listen to the TV. I'd rather read the closed captions.
There was a Starbucks downstairs, a Fedex store for shipping and office supplies and a bar that sounded fun. I didn't get a chance to indulge.
The lobby was spacious, comfortable and good for impromptu meetings.
All in all, nothing negative, other than the construction in the street out in front which caused a bit of chaos. I'd definitly go back! -

I went here for a work conference for 2 nights. The hotel is well staff and the staff are very accommodating and helpful. I wanted a room next to my friend and the reception person, said he would check and try to help me out. At first, he said they only had rooms close to each other so I said that was fine. Without me even knowing, he continued to check his system for any rooms w/ adjoining doors and finally found one and accommodated my request. The staff were also handing out water to everyone waiting at the check in line. Totally cool!
Rooms were nice and clean. Little balcony with 2 chairs and a small table. Although chew wasn't super nice (looking at the Hilton across the street), it was nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh breeze.
However, the food was horrible at the conference. The Chinese food looked old and tasted a little spoil. The chicken was dry and overlooked. The eggs were overdone and bland. The bash browns and potatoes were greasy. The chicken for the tacos were not too bad. The steak was dry and tough.
Overall, the staff were all awesome and there was a very fresh feel to the hotel. Definitely hope that work has another conference at this hotel so I have an excuse to stay here again! -

I checked in yesterday to stay the night while I attended the AYSO section meeting. My daughter had read that this location was outdated and the rooms were tiny- I was prepared for a motel-within-the-hotel experience. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. I valeted the car- even though the valet who helped me out mentioned the much lower self-parking special- and went inside to see if I could check in early.
Early check in ended up being just fine, my front desk rep processed my info nice and quick and off I was to the 15th floor!
My room was directly off the elevator, in a lovely corner which meant neither of my side walls met another room (request rooms 1557, 1457, 1357, etc if you want the same). My view was amazing but the noise from the driveway below was quite abundant.
My room was FINE- king bed, desk with pull-out table for eating, comfy desk chair and even a corner chair with ottoman. In fact, you know how usually the tv is WAY too small for the room? This tv was even a bit LARGE for the room- I LOVED it!
Yes, the bathroom was small, but it was just little ol' me, so I didn't care much.
Everyone I encountered, from the valet to the front desk to the staff I passed in the hallways, were amazing. The hotel is in NO WAY outdated. Look at the places I eat, folks. I'm not hurting for cash so I am used to the finer things in life and this hotel easily met my expectations with their decor. And who would complain about the rate? I paid $119 for the night. Awesome! -

Definitely not a hotel i would like to stay at again.
my bf booked a room via priceline in january for march. we reserved: king size bed, lanai, mini bar, spacious room.
we got....2 twin beds, no lanai/padio, no mini bar & definitely not spacious at all.
so he called thr front desk regarding a room with a king size bed...they told him "we do not have any king size beds available." it took my bf to go down to the front lobby, point out some facts that our reservation paper says GUARANTEED, & raise hjs voice for them to magically have a king size bed on the 1st floor available.
we mkved our bags from one room to another. got to our new room...& there were HUGE bugs INSIDE the room, the sliding door barely functioned, our movies to buy were not working (we had to call TWICE).
one night around 11:30p we called for a breakfast and regular room service menu...didnt get it until after 1am and of course was too late to preorder breakfast.
i would definitely stay somewhere else next time. -

I am very conflicted on my rating of this Marriott. As an 'elite' status member, I am very loyal to Marriott - to earn points, when I am travelling with work. Over this past week, I was staying here for a HUGE expo at the nearby convention center.
It is a beautiful hotel on the outside and if you are attending something at the convention center or want to hit Disneyland, you were in a great location. The front desk is quick to help and get you checked-in.
I was booked on the 17th floor of the Oasis Tower (top floor) - unfortunately, there appeared to be some kind of mechanical issue on the roof that made it sound like the ceiling was grinding itself against metal. When I called to complain, Gillian (a service rep) was awesome in trying to help, but they couldn't fix the problem due to the current occupancy of the hotel and I was too busy to move rooms. The next day, when I went to check-out, I got back to my room and my key stopped working. This occurred because they turn off all keys at noon (check-out time) and it was 12:30p.m. Here's the problem, they confirmed me for late check-out - so I had to call down and wait 10 minutes for someone to let me in my room.
The gym is really nice and there is a starbuck and other dining options on-site. For the record, I would definitely recommend staying here, but my particular experience was a bit of a mishmash. -

Hubby and i stayed here for my birthday celebration (3/25/12). When we arrived, we parked in the front to check in. The valet guy asked for our keys to the car. We told them we didn't want to valet, but he insisted on getting our keys while we check in. We were hesitant to give him the keys since he wasn't going to give us any type of redemption ticket or proof that he has our keys. Hubby went to check in while i attempted to speak to a manager about the parking issue. I spoke to Don, a really nice gentleman who not only took care of our concerns by getting the valet guy to give us a redemption ticket, he went above and beyond to make our stay alittle extra special. Thank you so much Don!
Our room was a standard room with a beautiful view. The bathroom was standard (alittle small, but typical) The bed was super comfortable. I usually have a hard time sleeping in any other bed besides my own, but slept like a baby at the Marriott.
This Marriott is alittle pricy for a standard room. My ratings are based on my one time experience there and how Don made a difference to our stay but i cannot comment on the overall service since we did have an issue with the valet and we also had to return to the front desk to get our access ticket to the parking garage. -

This hotel is gorgeous on the outside. When you walk in, it's a lovely lobby, with people to greet you, etc. However...
$28 for valet parking per night? REALLY? Or you can choose to pay $24 for self parking. You pick. But either way...I'm paying $100+ to stay at this hotel per a night, and I have to pay parking on top of that? I think that's asking a little too much. Parking should be free for hotel guests. Period. And you can't be sneaky and look for street parking either because it's surrounded by other hotels, who probably also charge for parking as well.
The parking itself makes me want to rate this hotel to a lowsy 2-3 stars. But guest service is pretty decent, and the view is gorgeous, there's a balcony (well there was on in our room), and it's about a 10 minute walk from Disneyland. Thus, I bump it up to 4 stars. But I can't imagine giving anything more because I honestly think they charge way too much for parking.
The standard rooms are cozy, not too big, but enough to be comfortable. The bathrooms are kind of small, but I did think it was nice that there was a balcony in our room.
I stayed here for $80/night thru the Marriot friends and family discount...and each night there's a ~$12 hotel fee, + $28/night parking...you do the math, it ends up adding it up..
There's a starbucks and cafe, but I didn't really explore much further than that. -

In a previous life I worked at one of the restaurants here as a host. This is an enormous, sprawling property with a Kinko's (I guess it's "Fedex Office" now), huge pool, cafe, multiple restaurants, huge meeting rooms, and oh yeah, it's right next to the Anaheim Convention Center, which is one of the top 5 busiest convention centers in the country.
It's a classy property that's well managed despite being unbelievably busy. -

Awesome staff. We received superb service. They let us check in early since they had a room that ready and available when we got there. They do charge for parking but it is with in and out privileges and it's really close to Disneyland so you can walk there or take their free shuttle. Would definitely stay here again.

O.k., this isn't a 5 star hotel. BUT it deserves 5-stars. We stayed here recently while vacationing at Disneyland. Booked directly through the Marriott website and got a fantastic rate that included breakfast daily and parking. We upgraded our parking to Valet for an extra $4.00 per day - which was ideal because we had surprises for our kids in the car - the valet got them out for us, kept them behind the desk until my husband could sneak the surprises into our room while I was at breakfast with the kids. Great deal.
The room was small, but clean. Had a view of the pool (downside - we could hear the kids in the pool until about 11pm on the first night we stayed which was a saturday). We were tired enough though that it didn't bother us.
We got GREAT treatment from each and every hotel staffer we dealt with. Would hands down stay here again. Thanks Marriott! -

I decided to take a trip to Disneyland for my birthday last December. After much deliberation we chose to stay here. We landed around 7pm but only arrived at the Marriott at 10pm due to traffic on the way from LAX.
Front desk was friendly when we checked in. We got our keys and went to our room. Our reservations were booked on Expedia and specifically wanted to reserve a King size bed. When we got to our room we saw that we got a room with 2 Queen size beds. When we went back to the front desk to ask for a different room, not only did they give us what we wanted, but they upgraded us to a bigger room! Awesome service!
The room was big, clean and nicely decorated.
After a very LONG day at Disneyland / California Adventures we came back to the hotel to find *FREE pictures with Santa, hot cocoa and apple cider and gingerbread decorating. Perfect thing to help unwind after a busy day and getting into the Christmas spirit. I really enjoyed it!
The only thing I would've liked to see is a restaurant or cafe to stay open for guests who have to check in late. Our only choice was to order the expensive room service. -

Review from Shalini G.
San Diego, CA
You would think that the full service Marriott would be significantly nicer than the fairfield or the courtyard or residence in...well i can say that the lobby, and surrounding areas are must nicer, but i am not sleeping in the lobby...the room itself was the same or not as nice as staying at a residence inn or courtyard (it is better than fairfield).
but i can honestly say that i would rather pay the same amount and stay at a residence inn (and i would have this time except that they were booked solid!)...this was our only marriott option within walking distance to disney.
parking alone is $24 a night! so although the rooms are pretty cheap @ $109...that is still quite pricey after including parking.
getting towels at the pool was near impossible...nobody was checking if they were stocked...both days we swam, i had to call for more towels...and it still took forever (more than an hour)
rooms were noisy. noise from outside...solved by closing sliding door...noise from hall...nothing we could do but put in earplugs...and we heard every noise in the hallway
rooms are small...
internet is extra charge (while its free at fairfield/residence inn)
that's enough negative...
here's the good.
strawberry basil water in the lobby...and cantaloupe, rosemary water too...
the pool was nice...access to restaurants and having pool service is nice....
not having to use room key to access pool is nice (it is annoying carrying the room key to bathroom etc...)...not here
we had a balcony overlooking pool...(but no privacy with balcony on either side).
the stay was nice...i don't regret it...but i really would not want to stay here again.... -

Don't know what it is about this place. I just love it!
Great for a business traveler. Lots of good restaurants nearby....hey, its close to Disneyland and the convention center...so what you would expect.
Love the wine flights in the bar. Its an older hotel from the exterior, but don't let that fool you. It is nice inside with nice décor and clean and well maintained lobby etc. I like the indoor/outdoor pool design and the bar/lobby flows to the outside. Gym is OK, but a bit of a walk from the main hotel.
I always find a good LA value here and I stay when I can.
Nice to watch the Disney fireworks if you get a top floor room facing East. Decent concierge lounge too.
Staff is well trained and friendly. -

We stayed one night during our Disney family vacation. We requested connecting rooms and got them. The rooms were clean, everything was functional, and Lindsey the concierge was helpful and totally awesome. It's a bonus that you can buy your Disney tickets at the hotel before you go! We used the hot tub and pool. We shopped at the gift shop, and had room service bring us ice cream. The door and valet staff were exceptional. We made memories! Five stars.

I had a short stay at the Marriott and this is the summary.
The room, in which I spent almost no time at all aside from sleeping, was a decent size, very clean with that modern/elegant/hotel feel. The bed felt fantastic, that was a major plus.
The staff were unbelievably great. The front desk people smiled and were helpful with all of my questions, the housekeeping were nice although I didn't interact with them much, the security were friendly and helpful and treated me like a guest instead of a thief, which some security go to by default (cough cough across the street). The bar staff, even when the bar is overloaded and they're stressed and running around everywhere, were super accommodating and earned the extra tip I gave them. The outdoor area is really nice too, with a patio and fire pits for the restaurant/bar or the pool area. It was a little small but the blue back-lit hotel proper gave it a snazzy atmosphere.
The prices for the rooms are reasonable, but the thing I found to be a fantastic deal was the bar! Two beers for $11.50 was great, especially during an event at the convention center across the street. That's about half price compared to the Hilton too and while it's high for the area, it's cheaper than other "happening" places. -

This is NOT a 5-star hotel and definetly not pleased with this hotel.
The service from the staff is the only thing that deserves 5 stars! They were nice and helpful.
The hotel is boring; the decor is terrible.
If you end up staying on the 3rd floor you will get a basement room, literally. It looks super unsafe with the windows, people walking by your window and the trash outside of your window!
We ate at the Sol restaurant and the lady who sat us down and was our waitress forgot about us and we ended up asking the busboy to help us. And she had a nasty attitude.
I don't think I would ever stay at this Marriott again, it feels more like your staying at 2-3 star eh-eh hotel. -

Hotel Checklist:
Staff is friendly? Check. Being in the hospitality industry, short of belting me across the face with brass knuckles, front desk always gets a pass from me.
Clean room? Check. A bit on the small side, but was hardly there.
Amenities? Check.
Shower? Check.
Housekeeping? Efficient. Check.
Late night eats after coming home from a long day inside Disneyland? NO CHECK. Not even room service. Not even a gift shop to buy soda from. Oh sure, there was vending machines for drinks... at $2.25 a can. Ugh. That cost you your fifth star. -

Stayed here during the Disney Half Marathon weekend which also resided during Labor Day weekend... Didn't really have much of any interaction with the staff except for the workers at Pizza Hut and Starbucks... They seemed nice and helpful as I expected... The room appeared to be fairly clean and well kept... Our view was excellent as it overlooks the Hyatt from across and the Convention center to the right... Parts of California Adventure can be seen and the 9:30pm fireworks can also be seen and heard...
Overall not a bad place to stay, the Wi-Fi unfortunately was not free however we brought along our own mobile Wi-Fi so something to keep in mind... Otherwise a good room with a decent selection of television channels...
There are shuttle services from the hotel area to amusement parks... Not too many late night places to go to... If you're looking for a midnight snack or something you may have to go out of the way as the cafe, restaurants and Starbucks close fairly early in my opinion... They have a fitness center with several bikes, ellipticals, etc... -

Definitely enjoyed my stay here. Was here last weekend with the boyfriend for our 3 year anniversary and to spend some time at Disneyland!
The only downfall I could find was that we had to pay for a shuttle. However that is minor, since it's such a convenient shuttle, was only 4 bucks for both ways, and came very often (the longest we waited was 5 mins).
The hotel was lovely, our room was great as well, I read the negative reviews before me, but we had a room on the 17th floor and I liked it a lot! It was spacious and had a great view!
The bell hops were sweet and informative, I felt kinda bad I didn't have money to tip him....:(
The other workers were very friendly. They greet people in the morning and seemed genuine.
Would consider coming back here again! -

Updated rooms and geared for the tech savvy. Comfy beds and fast room service. Close enough to walk to disneyland if you have the energy, but a shuttle stops outside if you don't. reasonably priced.

I won a 2 night stay and complimentary breakfast for Anaheim Marriott. I have to say I was so impressed how easy it was to redeem my voucher. The valet service, check in and the rooms all amazing! I really enjoyed my stay here and if it weren't for me winning a 2 night stay I would have never thought to stay here. I would definitely come back again. The staff and everyone was so nice and professional they really took care of my needs. The shuttle is also very convenient if you want to go to Disneyland. I felt like a SUPER STAR here!

Complementary choco covered strawberries and champagne upon arrival as well as an upgrade to the highest floor with a view?
Are you trying to woo me, Marriott?
We used our Marriott Rewards points and had THE BEST TIME!
Staff was extremely professional, and courteous. Bed was comfy, extra foam pillows just like I asked for. No problems with maid service, as I had previously read people were experiencing problems with theft.
I'd definitely stay here again. You can also purchase your Disneyland park hopper tix at the front desk...Pricey but convenient. My only regrets were 1) The bathroom is tiny and 2) Didn't get a chance to lounge at the pool... -
Review from Karen M.
Excellent service, even with the National Miss Beauty Competition (think "Toddlers and Tiaras") contestants scampering around the whole place.
Room wasn't as "modern" as it could be, but it was clean, quiet, and met our needs well.
Really liked the hotel's close proximity to D-land. Parking at the hotel is $24, but you can leave your car in the hotel parking garage and walk up the street to D-land. May as well get your power walk in before you slow down to a crawl when you get to D-land.
I'd stay here again if I got the same awesome priceline deal! Probably couldn't afford it otherwise! -

I found the front reception staff to be superlative... very solicitous and willing to accomodate my every need or want. Their restaurant, Casa del Sol, actually has some very good food. In fact their ribeye steak was far better than that which I got at Ruth's Chris steakhouse just down the road.
Soooo enjoyed the ribeye steak I had tonight at Casa del Sol. Perfectly done... actually had some flavor (UNLIKE Ruth's Chris). Came with very yummy garlic spinach and redskin potatoes. Dessert... a delicious apple-walnut cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
If you're at the Convention Center, and you want a steak, GO TO Casa del Sol at the MARRIOTT. Their steakhouse JW's has closed, but, if their steaks are as good as the Casa del Sol's, then let's hope they'll again soon be open! -

I stayed here with the fiance for his conference. They gave him a 3rd floor room that had a balcony, that looked over the a/c units!
priceless! It got even worse. The bed was so uncomfortable. We woke up tossing and turning all night. Then we also were woken up through the night with the incesant sound of the a/c system fan turning on and off. Do not make rooms on that floor. Whatever you do, do not let them assign you a room on the 3rd floor. -

This is not for the hotel, because I did not stay there, but for their Degrees Lounge, that I had lunch at while attending Blizzcon this past weekend. I had a really nice meal there with my bf and friend this weekend, when we were looking for lunch. Typically during Blizzcon the nearby Coco's, Tillys, and fast food joints get pretty clogged up. But I guess because this was hidden in the Marriott, it wasn't as bad. There were only a few tables with people, and we were seated and served our drinks very quickly. I ordered the Crabcake sandwich with house chips, and it was absolutely delicious! It was a nice sized sandwich and the crabcake was very well seasoned and made. I loved their house chips as well, great with a side of ranch. The servers were also very efficient and friendly, and overall it was a pleasant meal.

The service was excellent and the staff should definitely get a 5 star. I also paid a little extra for valet and that was way cool.
The hotel though, was why I only gave this review a 4 star. The wall paper was yellow and that kind of hurt my eyes. ;) The furniture inside the room look slightly worn. The blanket and comforters look to be in pretty bad shape but I was good and didn't complain.
I'm not sure if I'll stay here again since I came away a bit dazed after 4 nights. I mean, I didn't like it but I didn't dislike it either. -

These massive monsters of hotel-ery could be so much better. The rooms were decent enough. It was close to the Convention Center, and fairly close to the Mouse (Disneyland).
There are just no personal touches. I guess I can't blame Marriott. They are a chain. They can't have a huge attention to detail when people come here cattle-like and starry-eyed. Their audience is captured. They just want to go to the place where dreams come true.
So yeah, this is a basic hotel. It's definitely nice, but nothing to write home about.
Why oh why do you always have to PAY for internet at these hotels??? I just don't like the nickel & dime feeling I get with them sometimes. Room service was delicious, and our server was cool, but man, they rob ya!
They do have a basket of apples at the front desk---I grabbed a bundle-full every time I walked by.
A 2.5-star experience (rounding down since they are a chain, and get more attention than the little guy hotels nearby). -

this hotel is amazing! it's worth paying extra for a night at this hotel.
at arrival the staff greeted me with a cold water (it was a warm day). everyone in the hotel was very friendly. it seemed like a place people enjoyed to work making my stay more pleasant.
overall this hotel is conveniently located adjacent to conference center (steps away), restaurant is elegant yet friendly, clean rooms, and felt like a home away from home. starbucks served was my favorite. -
Review from K B.
Pleasanton, CA

Thought this would be a pretty nice hotel since the Hilton is right across the street and that's really nice, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. First of all, the bedsheets were dirty. There was a huge blue stain on one side of the bed, not sure what it was. The towels in the bathroom were also dirty, which you could plainly see since they were white. You could hear EVERYTHING going on in the hotel and it was so loud at one point I had to open the door and yell out "be quiet" because the other people on our floor were obnoxiously loud. Maybe it was because there was a White party going on in the convention center next door or the wedding that was happening, but people were being horribly loud until late hours which sucked because we were waking up extremely early to go to Disneyland (and that was after driving for 6 hours so we were already exhausted and ready to sleep).
The good thing is that there's a Starbucks downstairs but be prepared to wait in line like you're at Dland because everyone needs their morning fix before going into the park, including me. Didn't try the food places because we ate at other places near the park, but they do sell alcohol in the lobby shop which is good. Make sure to buy a bottle opener, though, which is only like $2. There's also a mini fridge in the room so we were able to bring back our leftover food to eat later when we had the drunk munchies.
Pricing is pretty reasonable and there's only a $4 difference between self park and valet (I chose self park) and the shuttle picks you up and drops you off right out front. Everyone we encountered working there was nice, I would just prefer to get a cleaner, quieter room next time. -

We have stayed at the Marriot Fairfield in the past, but decided on this place to try out. We loved it for the most part. Good price, which included kids meals, and we were upgraded to a suite with concierge service.
They have very small rooms (non-suites), but they are super quiet (a great plus). Very nice hotel overall, maybe needs a facelift, but much nicer than the Marriott Fairfield down the street. We took the ART Shuttle to and from the hotel, which was convenient and inexpensive... -
Review from Kelsey S.
Sammamish, WA
I have to say, I thought the service here was FABULOUS! We requested not to have any maid service during our stay so we would need to call for towels. The maids brought our towels up in about five minutes! We were impressed.
This hotel has a bar, restaurant, starbucks and small bistro. We ate at each, the bar has the BEST nut mix, i mean seriously, the best. The restaurant is a bit overpriced, but so is everything around Disneyland. We opted for the bistro in the mornings to get out the door to the park.
The Marriott is within walking distance but a bus pass can be bought super cheap that runs from the Marriott to Disneyland every 20 minutes. We loved the pass because after a full day of the park we were ready to sit!
The hotel was clean and quiet for the most part. The pool was rather cold, but it didnt seem to stop the kids at all! -

The employees were great. Everyone was very very friendly.
Rooms were average and the beds were good.
However, I do not like paying $13 for internet access per day, it is ok if it is a 24hr period but per day is nickle and dimming a customer. Example you arrive at 9pm get to your room need to check email before bed that is $13 then again tomorrow another $13.
When I first wrote the review I gave it 1 stars but after some though moved it up to 2. The problem is the hotel caters to Disneyland vacationers and the pool was full of young loud kids until 11pm. 11pm is too late on weekdays if you have a 6am meeting you are trying to get some rest for.
Tip: Ask to stay on the other side of the hotel away from the pool or on the highest floor possible.
Another reason for the 2 stars is when I called to book the room the rate was $109 but I was told they only had executive suites left at $129. So I told them tat was fine. When I arrived I asked the front desk what is the difference between a normal room and the room I booked they told me nothing they are the same thing. I do not mind paying $129/night I mind the deception.
Take away the deception room rates and the pool my rating would be a 3.5 compared to other Marriott's. -

1/17/2011 3 Check-ins Here
The BF and I stayed here last weekend as part of a mini vacation getaway to Disney. The Anaheim Marriott was our choice because of the great price and double points promotion to my Elite account. However, we weren't very impressed with our room, it was right next to the stairwell. Ordinarily, this location wouldn't have presented a problem, however, this hotel is ALWAYS filled with thousands of hotel conventioneers who like us, opted for the stairs instead of waiting 30 minutes or more for our turn on the elevator. It was like wading through a parade of cattle getting to the elevator...even from VIP check-in a very short distance away.
On a positive note, the service is good and there is a Starbucks and Pizza Hut on the property. Just be ready to pay $15-20 for two personal size pizzas with approximately 4 miniature slices. That's hotel pricing for you though, it comes with the territory. If you are a steak lover like me, there is a Morton's within walking distance of the hotel. Breakfast lovers on a dime can grab a bite at the IHOP also in very close proximity.
Parking is also very ample at $25.00 per night. I recommend doing your research prior to your stay to find out what "convention" will be on-site prior to your stay. Those who are "attending the convention" and can show proof get special parking rates.
This Marriott is definitely much nicer than the Marriott Suites just up the road, but I'm still not sure I will return. -

The front desk staff was amazing! I forgot the name of the gentleman who checked me in but he was very accomodating and friendly.
They also have a shuttle to Disneyland which is great for a small fee.
Very nice rooms and I love that they have Bath and Body Works products they have in the bathrooms. -

So i took a family Disneyland trip, and this had to be the worst possible hotel to stay at. We got a discount through a friend who works for Marriot, otherwise we would have stayed at a cheaper hotel. So we figured, better hotel, better service. WRONG! First off parking is horrible. Your choice is valet or parking garage. The garage is $22 a day, and no they do not validate, or offer any type of parking pass like the signs say in the garage. Secondly there is no hot breakfast or continental breakfast for that matter. If there was no starbucks in the lobby i'm not sure what we would have ate.
The rooms are very small. No fan in the bathroom, so the mirror fogs up. The fog is a big deal when you have a family trying to share one bathroom and trying to get ready at the same time. Going back to the parking, when we asked if they validate, we were looked at like we were stupid for even asking.
Save your money and your patience and go to a cheaper hotel. I'm sure you will have a much better time at another hotel, and probably save some money too.
