Anaheim Islander Inn & Suites

The location of this hotel is only a few blocks from Disneyland. The price is decent — my friends and I stayed here during a holiday weekend for the Star Wars Half Marathon weekend. That said, the prices would be a little higher because it was a holiday and a special event. We were in a suite that had an adjoining room for four people total. The room was clean and a decent size, however, I found it strange that the refrigerator was located in the adjoining room and not in the main room but that’s minor.
The staff were helpful and always willing to help. For example, I had issues with my room key which they fixed no problem. They gave us extra towels when we needed them and breakfast was bare bones but there if you needed it.
Right now, there is construction right next to the hotel so if you want somewhere quiet to stay, this is not the place for you. You could hear a lot of the noise and they start around 6am-​ish. Also, my friend had some trouble finding it because the sign is hidden behind the construction.
Parking is limited — they give you a pass for one vehicle. If you’re just looking for a place to rest your head before going to Disneyland or somewhere in the area, I’d recommend this hotel.

Pros: Affordable and in a good location. Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
Cons: parking is limited and I suggest getting a room upstairs, if possible. Ours was downstairs and we could hear everything foot step and every word from the people above us.

This is a great hotel to stay at especially if you’re visiting the Disney parks! It’s right on the corner of Katella and S. Harbor Blvd so it was actually a pretty close walk to Disney than I expected, but you can take the ART Bus for $ 5 each day or there’s a different fee if you plan to go to the parks 3 days or more. The hotel is nothing too fancy which is fine since we were in the parks all day. Most importantly, the room was clean and staff were friendly. There was a microwave and mini-​fridge which was useful too. They serve a free continental breakfast but it’s mostly doughnuts or muffins so if you’re looking for something more filling, I’d recommend stopping by Denny’s or IHOP on your walk to the park. However, my boyfriend and I actually visited the 24 hr CVS at Marriott across the street almost everyday. It was very convenient for us to pick up food for breakfast or late night munchies. We will definitely come back!

Reasonably priced hotel within about 10 minutes walking distance to Disneyland.
Hotel was clean, fairly modern, and parking spots were always available regardless of the time.
If you are looking for a nice hotel near Disneyland and local food/​shopping, I’d recommend the Anaheim Islander Hotel.

Very Nice hotel service. Dilip went above and beyond to accommodate any needs my family and I had. super easy walking distance to Disneyland and restaurants right across the street. we will stay here again when we come back

Decided to do a quick Disney trip with 4 of my sons. I chose these particular days since it was supposed to be a ghost town in the parks (not). I searched hotels and Inns in the area. I went with this one. Love the short diatance to Cvs and ⁷⁄₁₁ for snacks and drinks. I was a little hesitant with the some of the reviews so I didn’t expect much. Arrived and they overbooked our room. Bummer… We were given another room that accommodated my family perfectly. Whatever works! :) I was told that I would get a discount off the first night. Great! Room was clean. Had a microwave and fridgerator. Maid service was on point with giving us towels and whatever we needed before we left to the parks. Staff in the front was awesome. Most importantly my family slept in a clean room, on clean beds and got to go swimming. What kids don’t want to go swimming on a hot day!!! They couldn’t wait to go swimming during our break from the park… I never got that discount but overall this place still deserves the 5 stars in my book.

Everything was fabulous and the view of the Disneyland fireworks was great! The free wifi is not great, but we enjoyed our stay otherwise!

First time here and I was upgraded to a suite with no extra charge :) AJ was so friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and clean. Parking was free. Wifi is slow, but I figured you’re barely there. Pool was clean/​no jacuzzi. They’ll give you towels at lobby. Continental breakfast is simple, but it will fuel your body. Very quiet place and they bring you extra towels without even asking! 10 mins walk to Disney. Cvs and other eateries are close by.

Would definitely stay here again! Close enough to easily walk to Disneyland! It is only 2 blocks away (keep in mind the blocks are long) but easily walkable! The room was clean and quiet which we were happy about.
The housekeeping staff was very friendly and accommodating when we asked for more towels. The pool was nicely heated and clean, which was nice to cool off after a long hot day at the parks.
The only reason we decided on 4 stars was because it said continental breakfast on the website so we were expecting enough food to fill up on before hitting the parks. However they only had a very small selection of donuts and pastries, coffee and oj. The food was subpar and not very filling. The website should read something to the effect of «a light selection of pastries» or something like that. Other than that we had an excellent time and would most likely use this hotel again!

Really nice hotel in the Disneyland neighborhood! Good rate and excellent customer service. The front staff as well as housekeeping staff are very polite, professional and attentive. 10 mins walk from the hotel to either of the parks. Free parking, free breakfast, free WiFi. Noise control is good. There are also 7 – 11, CVS and several restaurants within minutes’ walk at Katella /​Harbor intersection. It would be better if the continental breakfast can be really ‘continental’. Other than that, we have nothing to complain about.

At first I was really skeptical about choosing this motel but I am so happy that I listened to the Unilocalers! This place was awesome and a big surprise– truly a hidden gem. I have tried a lot of hotels around Harbor blvd and Katella but I am really happy with this place. We stayed in a two room, four queen bed suite. The reason why I couldn’t give this place five stars was because of the poor wifi signal, lack of parking spots, and old looking towels.
Overall though the rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Maid service was impeccable. No bad smell when you walk into the room. The air conditioners were working nice and strong. The rooms were cleaned everyday. Despite the poor wifi signal and old looking towels I would still come back here again because of the great price, service and cleanliness!

YOooooo I found my new spot for whenever we go to Disneyland! Who needs a stupid expensive hotel when all you do when you come to Anaheim is go to the Disneyland Parks anyway? This place has enough accommodation for you to feel comfortable, the price point is ON POINT, and the service is exceptional!
I’m a pretty paranoid person when it comes to traveling, I always make sure to check the bed/​mattress for any evidence of stains, bedbugs, etc. and this place was just as clean as any nicer hotel I’ve been at. Seriously, so clean! Also, their linens were pretty decent for it being a cheaper place in the area. I don’t know if they just recently renovated the place, but the furniture doesn’t look worn down at all!
The only gripe I had was that the towels didn’t feel very nice (thin, kinda scratchy but not too bad) and the parking was kinda nerve wracking. Each spot was filled up so I was pretty scared to leave my parking space, but the guy in front assured me I’d have somewhere to park when I got back.
Also, this place is maybe a 7 – 10 minute (tops) walk to the Disneyland ENTRANCE, not just Downtown Disney where you have to walk all the way through.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. Very convenient location, great and clean rooms, spacious, free parking and staff has always been polite and helpful.
My recent experience left me on a sour note. Upon check in, the front desk agent was very nice and checked us in quickly. As soon as our party of 6 unloaded and got to our room, the phone in room started to ring and to my surprise it was the front desk clerk calling to tell me that he counted 7 people in my party. I informed him he must be mistaken, that I had a party of 6. He then said no, he counted 7 and at this point, quite annoyed, I said to him I know how many people are in my party and he was wrong. He said he knew what he saw and now I took this as him calling me a liar. I asked if he would like for all of my guests to go down to the lobby so he could count us, he said no. I then asked if he would like to come up to our room to verify we were 6, he said no.
I found it quite rude and unprofessional for the front desk agent to have done that and confront me in that way. I booked a room for 3 queen beds for the capacity of 6. And that’s exactly what I had. I am saddened that he went about it that way.

I loved this place. The customer service is second to none. The guy who checked us in was SO nice! We were a little perturbed that there wasn’t enough parking, but that didn’t really matter to us. We forgot about it soon enough. I paid about $ 134 for a big room with two big, comfy beds and a beautiful bathroom. There was also a fridge and a coffee maker and a big bath tub, which I LOVED. I will definitely be back to this place!

Would I go back? YES
Good customer service? Yes
Price: $$ (better rates on their website)

Me and my husband hadn’t had a simple vacation in awhile, so we planned to enjoy Disneyland for a few days. After walking around Disneyland the whole day and walking to a restaurant before bed, it was pleasant returning to a nice and quiet room that was clean and fresh.

My fiancé and I stayed at this location in October 2014. I waited on leaving this review because I ended up being charged twice (for different prices) and it was very troublesome getting it reversed because they said they had no record. But it did get reversed, and while I hassled them constantly to do so, they always remained very pleasant and nice!
Customer service is 5 stars!
I absolutely loved how close this location was to Disneyland. We would walk back two to four times throughout the day! We did not have any trouble with parking, but we showed up a little before check in time.
I would just skip the free breakfast as it was just an assortment of random «on the go» breakfast items.
The room was clean and adequate. Actually nicer than a couple hotels and motels we have stayed at before.
If you can, try to avoid the room next to the ice dispenser. You think people would fill up their ice chests at a respectable hour, but sadly… no.
We will be staying here again for our next Disneyland trip (whenever that may be).

Stayed here from May 3^rd through May 6^th. Pretty nice place. Walking distance to Disneyland and very close to many awesome food places and there is also a CVS right down the road if you need to stock up on anything.
We had the two rooms with the double queen beds and single queen bed. Beds were pretty comfortable.
Pricing wasn’t that bad, it really depends on when you’re staying.
Parking is great! Many open stalls but try to get a room on the top floor because the bottom floors can be very noisy.
Offers free breakfast which is awesome. Breakfast includes donuts, muffins, Danishes, orange juice, and coffee. Don’t worry about it running out because they do restock. Wake up early enough because it is served from 7am-​9am.
The staff was very friendly and the housekeepers are always willing to clean your room for you. We would definitely return when we come back to Disneyland.

Stayed here New Years 2015 week
We booked the Deluxe Room w/​sofa (Up to 5 guests).

–Friendly Staff
–Clean Room
–Comfortable bed
–Continental breakfast (donuts, pastries, muffins, apples, coffee)

Love this hotel and will use them again! We stayed two nights here (two grown adult couples) and like that they offered 2 rooms suites and we liked the price even better at $ 130 a night. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly. I strongly recommend this hotel.
Oh and the walk was .4 miles. It took about 10 min in the morning to disney main gate and 18 min in the evening when we were tired.

I wish I knew about this inn a lot sooner! Those who have read my reviews know how critical I can be about both restaurants and hotels. Islander literally has all the characteristics you would want from a place to stay in Disneyland: location, affordability, cleanliness, and customer service.
Location: Islander is located about 2 blocks away from the Maingate. That’s about a 5 – 10 minute walk! And it’s located half a block from the actual Disneyland parking lot, so you’re basically saving money from parking fees right there! There’s also plenty of chain restaurants (Bubba Gump’s, Cheesecake Factory, etc) across the street and a CVS on another corner as well.
Affordability: for an inn so close to Disney, the rooms are actually surprisingly affordable! Our room was a bedroom with 2 queen beds that went for about $ 130. That’s very reasonable considering I saw rooms at a motel located a block away charging $ 600/​night. Now that’s just ludicrous!
Cleanliness: our room was very clean when we arrived. Although the décor was definitely older, it did not have that musty smell that most motels do with the same ambiance. For our needs, the room was absolutely perfect, since I wasn’t expecting to spend much time in my room. If you’re expecting a fancy hotel room with a lot of room and big screen TV, then you obviously shouldn’t even be searching for an inn or motel. Clearly your needs require a HOTEL. But for most people who are looking for affordability and cleanliness, this is exactly the place for you! They also offer two bedroom suites for large families. I mean, how accommodating and perfect can this place be?!
Customer service: the owners of Islander are so sweet and welcoming! Ajay at the front desk was also very pleasant and nice to talk to. For me, customer service really makes or breaks a place. I don’t care if you’re a 5 star hotel with gold-​plated sinks. If your staff is rude, I’m not coming back. You’ll definitely always feel welcome at Islander!
Overall, if you’re on a budget and looking to stay close to Disney, this is exactly where you need to look first! They offer a very simple continental breakfast in the morning with bagels and Danishes. We also got a password at the front desk for Wifi in our room. They also sell Disney tickets so you might want to inquire about their prices before heading to the Park!
