“Clean, well located, older property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

After researching hotels for an over night cost efficient stay by Disneyland... I am happy to say this hotel met my expectations. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. We were able to check in early (1:30pm) and were upgraded to a "suite" without asking when a standard king room was not available yet. Our room was very clean, however, quite basic. Given the price, this was not surprising. The room was quiet at night and the bed a little hard, but sleepable. The free hot breakfast in the morning was perfect and we found plenty of food available even when we went to eat the last half hour it was being served (9:30am). The hotel is walking distance, a few blocks, to the park entrances. **TIP: The hotel next door, Candy Cane Inn, has a free shuttle to/from the park. We hopped on it on our way back to the Desert Palms and just tipped the driver $2 for the ride. Overall, a decent stay at a decent price!

“Well Located and value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We stayed here for 4 nights. Two adults and three teenage boys. We booked a room over the net that was to suit the 5 of us and when we checked in it was not suitable as it had no bed for the 5th person. They changed us into a family room for an extra $39 a night that was more suitable. Which was fine, but then there was no hot water and we had to try 3 times to get it fixed. On the second day of putting up with this after a long flight from Aus my husband was once again complaining to the girl at reception and threatening to change hotels. The manager overheard this and promptly said that we would be moved to new rooms at no extra charge and we were not charged the upgrade for the room with no hot water. The rooms were clean and quite large and the Hotel is conveniently located walking distance to Disneyland. Quite a long way from sites and attractions in LA though . Taxis become quite expensive. In all we were quite happy with the Hotel when the inital problems were fixed and the free breakfast was a welcome bonus. It is however a true American style one. But the waffles are a different experience as you make them fresh and there is fruit and Yoghurt for those who get tired of the heavier eggs and what our boys nicknamed the mystery meat instead of bacon with your eggs. We still arent quite sure what it truly was. We used the gym and the pool. All in all it was good value.

“Hotel exceeds expectations”

My recent week stay during a busy trade show trip was made even more enjoyable by the spacious, cheerful, clean room at this hotel. Daily breakfast buffet included in the cost of the room helped accomodate my busy schedule and made the trip even more affordable. Courteous staff, conveniently located walking distance from convention center, restaurants and activities. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Recent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

My staff and I stayed at the hotel during the CHA convention. It was within easy walking distance to the convention center. It was great to have so many choices for breakfast. The room was big enough that we could hold mini meeting while having breakfast.

The rooms were clean and comfortable but a little small.

We had mini meetings in the bar in the evenings which was a nice way to relax. The menu was small but the food was great.

Room Tip: Don't get a room near the elevators
