“Excellent Room, Service & Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I recently spent 5 nights at this Best Western in Anaheim, and was extremely pleased with the quality of the furnishings, the cleanliness of the room, the front desk staff and the cleaning staff. My only complaint is that the building doesn't have gutters and on the two days that it rained this caused waterfalls over the exterior stairways; there is, however an alternative exit. The complementary breakfast was only so-so, lacking any hot foods.

We had 4 staying in the room and there was plenty of space for everyone. We were attending a convention at the Anaheim Convention Center which was a very pleasant 15 minute walk away. An entrance to Disneyland was right across the street. There were numerous places for a quick meal within a 10 minute walk. The entire area was well-lit with many people walking around and felt completely safe.

We received a convention rate of $114 per night.

Thank you for your review of our hotel. We appreciate hearing back from our guests. We look forward to you staying with us again. By then we should have pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs included with our breakfast.

Thank you and take care.

“3 Stars - Super Value, Best Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed at this BW right next to the Disneyland entrance in early January 2012 for 3 nights. We consider ourselves "Disney pro's", having been 3 times now. For us it was about location; picking the best decent hotel as close as possible, because our approach to Disney has us get there early, leave mid afternoon, and return in the evening. All without having to take out a mortgage. This place seemed to fit the bill.

Pro's:
1. Location: WOW. It is literally the closest lodging to Magic Kingdom possible, even more than the horrible, disappointing and overpriced Disney offerings (we stayed at the horrible, overpriced Grand Californian last time; see my TA review). A 5-10 minute walk has you at the MK or DCA gates. So this place is good if you want to leave the parks and rest or just do something different for a few hours. Also, it has excellent and cheap(er) food offerings in the area (try Fire and Ice in the nearby mall), including IHOP right next door. Getting onto the highway is a 1 minute drive (without the noise in your room though). Location cannot be beat.

2. Cleanliness: This place was clean and tidy. The rooms are a bit tired and not beautiful at all, but for 3 stars and $99/night, it works well. The money saved can be put to many other good uses. Also, rooms have fridges, microwaves, coffee machines.

3. Parking: Good, convenient, cheap parking.

4. Free WiFi.

Con's:
1. Rooms: As I mentioned they are a bit tired, somewhat musty smelling. Top floor access can be difficult due to one elevator (we used stairs so did not care).

2. Aircon: We did not use it much owing to it being winter. But it is old and noisy, but effective from what we could tell.

3. Breakfast: Included in your rate is a buffet breakfast at the adjoining Capt Kidd's buffet. Horrible, lame, brutal. But then for $99/night at the best location in Disneyland, something has to give. Starbucks a short drive away, IHOP next door. Or go buy some staples at the minimart next door.

Conclusion: This was an incredible value at an incredible location. This is no frills, no luxury. We would come back here.

Room Tip: Ask for a top floor room on the far east side.

Thank you for providing such a detailed review of our property. It will help us focus on needed areas of improvement. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do look forward to having you stay with us again. For a more pleasant stay your next visit, I would like to address a couple of points. The AC units used daily. If the one in your room seems too loud, please let us know. If it needs replaced, it can be done in about 10 minutes with a new one. We do have two elevators available. They are on opposite sides of the pool. For our continental breakfast, it appears there may be a misunderstanding of where ours is located. It is next door at Captain Kidds but is not part of their buffet. We host breakfast on their second floor. It consists of biscuits and gravy, bagels, toast, muffins, cereal, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, juices, coffee and milk. We are also in the process of introducing pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage.

We hope to see you again soon.

Thank you and take care.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We stayed at the Park Place Inn for one night in January. We have previously stayed here on other trips to Disneyland. We were surprised to find a king room her for $89 on a Saturday night (AAA rate), so it was no question whether or not we would pick this hotel for that night.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we were quickly checked in and given our parking pass. Parking is $8/night, but this is becoming pretty standard for hotels around Disneyland. Our room wasn't ready yet since we checking in before 2:00, so we parked the car and headed over to Disneyland for a bit. You can't beat the location of this property! We came back just after 3:00 and were given room 163, which is on the north side of the property.
The accommodations were pretty standard for the Best Westerns in the area, but the couch in the king room was nice for an extra place to sit. The room was very clean, but a bit noisy. We could easily hear people walking by our room outside and the kid galloping across the room above us. I believe running the air/heat would have reduced this noise, but with the mild weather that day, we never turned on the air. The bed was pretty comfortable, and I had plenty of hot water for my shower in the morning. Our only complaint is that my husband had a slight allergic reaction to the hand/body soap provided. His hands became swollen after using it. Thank goodness he realized this before using it in the shower! He suggested that the hotel provides another option for hand soap that doesn't have all the "smelly stuff" in it. Just something basic.
Breakfast in the morning was pretty average, but filling enough for us. We wished they had the waffle makers with a batter dispenser like we have seen at other Best Westerns, but the choices of cereals, fruits, pastries, and biscuits and gravy were sufficient. Hubby said the coffee was nice and strong!
I would not hesitate to stay here again, but next time I would request a room further back in the hotel and on a higher floor to hopefully reduce the noise. We also realized the we prefer the south side of the property as you are given more of a view.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on a higher floor and toward the back. These will most likely be quieter as they are...

“Great location, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We just spent three nights at the Park Place Inn. You absolutely can't beat the location, there is nothing closer to Disney. Parking was convenient. The room was clean and quiet, but the bed wasn't the most comfortable. Breakfast was mediocre at best, but it was free so it's hard to complain. I would consider returning on a future visit, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

We do appreciate you taking the time to write a review of our property. All information guests provide to us will help us improve our service. Unfortunately we will not be able to provide items such as omelettes because we do not have a restaurant onsite. However, we are updating our breakfast and will soon provide sausage and scrambled eggs as well as pancakes in addition to our other offerings. We do hope to see you again soon.

Thank you and take care,

“nice property but service not personal”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We stayed here for 5 nights during a road trip which was a recovery from cancer treatment trip. I booked the room well in advance and explained we wanted a room close to the front of the motel, up on the third floor to have a quiet room, for health reasons. When we arrived we were given a room at the very back of the motel down on the first floor. I had even phoned directly to confirm my requests ahead of time. I explained about my requests, but because we checked in late at about 9 pm. they were completely full so we had no choice. Because of my treatment, I was very tired and seriously the walk from the back of the motel to the front, is as long as the walk from the front of the motel to the Disneyland gates! I suppose I could have asked for a handicap room, I don't know if these are at the front of the motel or not. The people above us were so loud when they came back usually around midnight, it was honestly like a herd of elephants! I don't know if it was just them personally or if the floors are just very thin and not sound proof. We have stayed in 6 different hotels/motels in this area and this was the first time we had experienced this. It was a shock to us how inconsiderate some people can be. We always make an effort to be quiet past 9 or 10 pm even when we travel with children. This is why I rated the sleep quality as average as the beds were very comfortable. The room was very nice, although dark, and very clean, house keeping did a good job, but on one day even though we were out of our room for most of the day, it did not get cleaned, and the next day when we came back about 2 it had still not been done so when I phoned the front desk they booked a time when the room was to be done later. The continental breakfast was not very good, and we only tried that once. It was mostly over processed sweet pastry items, toast, cereal, bisquits and gravey, some not very fresh looking apples, and boiled eggs that tasted strange. Two other places we have stayed at in this area, in the same price point have amazing continental breakfasts included, one with things like omelets and waffles. We chose this motel because of the close proximity to the entrance to Disneyland, and made the request to be at the front of the property twice due to health issues, and to not have the request honored was a big disapointment. I don't know if it was just because we were at the back of the property but the wifi never worked very well for us, so I just packed away my lap top after a couple of days of trying and calling the front desk to ask what was wrong. We went back to an old favorite on our most recent trip in December, and it is unlikely we would stay here again. We will be checking out other properties that are also close to the Disneyland entrance on future trips.

Room Tip: don't know how to do this with this property as our requests, made well in advance and confirmed...

First I would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review regarding your stay with us. I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. If you were located on the first floor in the back of the property that means you were reserved in a room with a King Size bed. These are located on the first floor with only 2 on the third floor. We never guarantee locations of rooms, it is only on a request basis due to the possibility of guests already occupying rooms from previous day arrivals, guests not checking out or extending their stays or any unforseen problems that may occur. I do apologize we were not able to get you closer to the front of the property. I would not know the reason without knowing exactly when you were here. Again I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We will have an upgraded breakfast soon with sausage, scrambled eggs and pancakes. Again I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I hope you will give us another chance to show you what our customer service is really like.

Take care
