I stayed at this hotel a handful times in the last few years when it was a Holiday Inn Express. Then for less than a year it became a Magnuson, and now it's just become a Baymont. (This stay was my first return since it stopped being a Holiday Inn Express.)

The property has part indoor and part outdoor corridors. The elevator is in the outdoor section.

The room I was in looked remodeled nicely (although I was in a different part of the hotel than I had ever stayed in when it was an HIX), and they still have 70+ channel true analog cable on big (though still tube) TVs. Bed and pillows were very comforable, and room was very clean. Heat/cool worked perfectly.

There are still traces of Magnuson around. There's still a Magnuson sticker on the phone, and the internet (which uses a security key) still has Magnuson in the internet names. The internet worked very well.

The hotel was a little hard to find in the dark because they have a new Baymont sign on order but haven't gotten it yet, and the one banner they hung up with Baymont signage wasn't easy to see from the street (especially headed south on Beach toward hotel). But this should improve soon.

At least some of the staff have carried over through the brand changes, since the check-in clerk recognized me from my stays when it was an HIX (and joked about how I'm not being loyal to Holiday Inn Express!). Check in and check out were both quick, and billing was accurate. (I had booked through WyndhamRewards, the points program for Baymont/Super 8/Travelodge/etc.)

The breakfast has been redone to Baymont standards, which are similar to HIX but a little more focus on warm stuff. (They still have both 2% and skim milk, yaay!)

The one thing I noticed missing was the newspaper. I didn't see one, and asked about it, and they said they had none. I couldn't remember whether Baymont should have one, so after leaving the hotel I checked the Baymont "hospitality" site (http://www.hometownhospitalitytour.com/) and if click Home and then click over the newspaper (on the table with the lamp), it says you're supposed to get a free USA Today in the lobby at any Baymont. I presume this is another "growing pain", in that perhaps they stopped having a newspaper when they became a Magnuson and may not have had time to start up delivery yet since becoming a Baymont.

As already noted, this location is "off to the side" of an Anaheim, away from the bustling center. But the nice thing about that is that it's quiet. (The lobby is the only thing at the street end, and this part of Beach Blvd is not very busy at night anyway. So it's much quieter in your room than it may be in some hotels nearer to the Anaheim "action".)

Spent 2 nights during our trip to Disney. Was a little unsure as to what to expect for the low price, but was extremely surprised. Comfortable beds, very clean, quiet, and felt safe. The staff was helpful, and polite. Would definitely stay again.

This was a "last minute" reservation, since I was unable to reserve the Timeshare I recently required. I was very "surprised" to find such a nice, relaxing atomsphere. The rooms were quite spacious and clean.

Currently, they had the gym & internet room closed due to remodeling (changing to Wyndham).

One suggestion for the Free Breakfast in the morning, the 'hot' items could be "hotter", it was barely warm.

I found the hotel accommodating for my business travel needs. A little far from the freeway and parks but not more than a few minutes car drive. The room while not large was comfortable as was the bed. I had no problems with the condition of my room and it seemed that the hotel had been recently re-modeled. I spent four nights here without any negative incidents other than a squeaky bed above me on one night. If anything the hotel seemed empty, could be due to schools being open and vacation traffic down. The breakfast offered eggs, sausage, cereal, pastries, bagels, juice and coffee, enough to give me some variety over the stay. They do require a $250 per stay deposit. I was told that it prevents smokers of all sorts and that they will & have kept the deposit from guests that smoke and do damage to the rooms. I would stay again for business.
