Holiday Inn Anaheim-Resort Area

The AC unit was extremely dirty. I feel like when I turn it on, the dust just flies everywhere.
Bed sheets had stains on them & also random hair everywhere. Gross.

Look this is a Holiday Inn that is next to Disney. Please expect there to be families with children running around early in the morning and late into the night.
That being said you didn’t hear too much from the upstairs/​next door neighbors via the walls but sound dos sneak in via the door. Again all expected.
The «queen» sized beds are more like full sized beds. The rooms were adequate for the weekend of graduation and Disney.
I gave an extra star for the pool and jacuzzi area. It was a nice sized pool and area which had trees unlike a lot of other hotels with pools near Disney.
Location in relation to Disney is relatively far. I would not walk it after a full day at Disney. There is a bus line that passes by and goes directly Disney.
Overall, I would recommend this place if your able to get a deal.

Booked this hotel on Hotwire for a single night stay during a recent road trip. I was crossing my fingers that all of the rooms had been renovated as there are pictures of both new and old looking rooms online. We were happy to find out upon check in that all of the rooms have been renovated. The woman at the front desk was really nice and accommodating, and was able to give us a king size bed instead of the two queens we had booked. I am admittedly judgemental when it comes to hotel cleanliness and this hotel did not disappoint. Have you ever walked into a hotel room that looks great but totally smells weird (like cleaners or mildew)? It’s the worst. You won’t find that here! No weird smells to report. :) The room was clean, comfy, and casually chic.
The only downside to the location is I could hear the cars on the nearby freeway pretty well. To be fair, I’m sure they have ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. I usually am, but was so tired I slept without any issues. The bed was super comfy as well.

When I look at reviews for hotels, I like to see facts rather than a frilly story behind it. So, here are the facts:
Pros:
1. This is a Disney themed hotel. It’s super close to Disneyland, so close we saw fireworks from our window. There is Disney art all over the lobby.
2. They sell Disneyland tickets here and there is a shuttle that takes visitors to the park.
3. If you don’t want to go far, Burger Theory is right downstairs and serves pretty decent food. And there’s a full bar!
4. The room had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a wide closet.
5. The bathroom has been remodeled and is very modern with Bath & Body works toiletries.
6. They have other amenities like a laundry on the 9^th floor and a pool.
7. Employees working the front desk were friendly and said hello whenever they saw you in the lobby.
8. There are numerous places to eat nearby and the Outlets at Orange is only 2 miles away.
9. Easy access to the freeway.
Cons:
1. Like I said, this is a Disney themed hotel, so expect A LOT of children EVERYWHERE! This is not the place if you want a romantic quiet getaway.
2. The towels in the room were not white and fluffy. You could tell they were old and could use some bleach.
3. The bed was super uncomfortable. It was firm, but not in a good way. My back and knees were achy.
4. There are signs thought the building stating that it’s a non-​smoking property. However, someone on our floor was clearly smoking weed. The smell hit us right in the face when we got off the elevator.
5. I found a hair in the sheets and it clearly wasn’t mine because I’m not blonde.
6. The view from our hotel room was the neighboring trailer park. Not the ideal thing to look at.
7. The AC unit was loud.
8. Wifi was SUPER slow.
I wouldn’t mind staying here again if it was a comped room. But this wouldn’t be my first choice if I was paying for it myself.

Great hotel! We had to switch hotel rooms at 1am because the toilet wouldn’t flush and the shower water wouldn’t go down quickly. (Plumbing issues) However, they fully refunded me which was very nice! Amazing pool and fantastic gym!

On my first visit here I had a very pleasant experience … last year I stayed for only one night. The customer service was outstanding and the room was clean. Before checking out we asked for an extension. The lady in the front desk was very kind and let us check out at 2pm. Overall my experience was very positive so I decided to book another stay this year
On my second experience here I stayed for two days. The staff was nice and friendly but the room was a little dirty. The bathroom had redish brown stains on the walls and didn’t think much of it. Until the following morning I woke up with numerous bug bites .At this point I knew the room non sanitary and did not meet a standard hotel safety requirement. Like I thought it would… The room seemed tidy but don’t be fooled ! Make sure you check your bed and look for any red flags that might indicate a health and safety issue. After this experience traumatic I don’t think I will ever stay here again. Unless the sanitary quality standard improves. I paid for quality service and a quality experience but in return all I got was a a body full of BED BUGS or maybe I should have stayed for more than one night here

Justin was super friendly on the phone and found is a RM with two beds instead of the RM we booked on line. When we got there at 11 PM from driving all day and going to Knott’s Berry farm I was ready to crash. Jessica explained they would charge my card the RM fee taxes and insedendals. Fine. Then the next night I get to Marriott across LA. And find that they charged my card AGAIN! And over drew my acct. So here I am inA with no debit card and couldn’t use it like I planned to check into the Marriott when I called holiday inn the woman kept saying she understood how frustrating this can be?! Oh do you? Then don’t charge my card for shit I don’t owe! Still waiting for my card to be credited they said 3 – 5 business days Awesome I will be home by then! I’m pissed and if I get any bank fees it’s ON!!!

Stay was good. Clean rooms and nice view of the pool. Too far to walk to Disneyland and shuttle is $ 5 per person. The toilet was a lil off but no serious problems. Overall stay was great

We stayed at the Holiday Inn for maybe a week or so. The rooms were a great size for us and the hotel was pretty close to Disneyland.
Pros:
— Clean rooms
— Full bathroom and shower
— Beds were comfy
— Nice view; we got to see the fireworks at Disneyland from our window
— Pool and spa area with plenty of towels
— Staff were very friendly and patient with us
— Store near front desk has snacks and other needs as well as gifts
— Lobby has a beautiful collection of Disney art
— Shuttle bus to Disney comes every 20 – 40 minutes, and tickets are sold at the bus stop
— Good size parking lot
I cannot think of any cons. We had a great time during our stay, and we can’t wait until next time. I totally recommend this hotel.

This place is priced like a midrange hotel but it is a low quality dirty place with no real amenities. No good food options as the only restaurant «burger theory“closes early and is limited to start with.
The gym is a tiny room with just 4 lame cardio machines and zero weights. No pads or even a pull-​up bar.
The worst part is one of our rooms had Bed bugs!
Stay away!

Don’t be fooled by the photos on their website. Arrived to the room that doesn’t seem like it’s been renovated since the 80s. Stained floors, a bathtub with a completely peeled floor, stains on the walls, very dirty. You can find something much better for the price. I had high standards from the being a frequent Holiday Inn patron. This is by far the worst Holiday Inn I’ve stayed and possibly the worst hotel in general.

The hotel was pretty nice and in close proximity to the Disneyland resort. I would not say that the parks are within reasonable walking distance, but this place is a good choice if you are planning to drive to the Toy Story parking lot which is very close by.
The hotel looks taken care of and the workers I encountered went out of their way to greet me. The room itself was pretty nice. We got a king room on the 8^th floor and it was very quiet even though it was right in front of the elevator. I have no complaints about the room for the price I paid. I would stay here again.

I stayed here in January while they were going through or about to start a renovation so things might be different now.
First of all this hotel was FILTHY! I actually went to the wal-​mart down the street to buy a bath mat for the tub because I was too scared to touch it. The bathroom was filled with bugs, I later saw them coming out of the drains.
Secondly, it was so loud! Obviously I know the other guests are not the fault of the hotel but the even the housekeeping staff seemed to be screaming down the halls. Either that or the walls are actually made of paper because I could hear full conversations of people out in the hallway.
We only stayed one night of our three night reservation before we had to request a refund and leave. The fact that we had to buy a bath mat to be able to comfortably take a shower at this place was ridiculous. It’s not like it’s a cheap motel.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights and was thoroughly disappointed at almost everything. My room was not nearly up to par with the standard I expected; the lights were unbearably dim, and both the bedroom and bathroom looked like they had been cleaned in a hurry. In the morning, there were excited children yelling down the halls on their way to Disneyland– this is not the hotel’s fault, but just something to be aware of if you’re planning on sleeping past 7 am. After the first night, I asked to be put in a different room hoping that it would be a bit better– it wasn’t. The lighting was better, but the room just seemed old and run down. The entire cover to the AC unit near the window fell off during the night, which was quite startling.
I will say that the location of the hotel itself is good, and I got a good view of the Disneyland fireworks from my room. Besides that, I was pretty upset at the fact that I wasted money staying here. After my first night, I checked Orbitz for other hotels in the area and found that the rates for better hotels were similar to the rates I paid for my room at this Holiday Inn. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

This is actually a nice place.
Clean and fresh. Beds are really comfortable as I had a good night’s sleep here. (usually don’t sleep well in hotels).
The provide soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in little bottles. They have a hair dryer and best part for me… Iron and ironing board. Plenty of pillows.
Beds are a twin size. Refrigerator and a microwave. Flat screen television.
Breakfast in the morning is NOT free here. They want $ 14.99 for the same stuff I get at other hotels for free breakfast. NOT WORTH IT!
Shuttle to Disneyland is $ 5 a day per person. (ive always stayed at other hotels that have free shuttles)
This hotel is off the beaten path so its a few minute drive to anywhere… but its right by the I-​5 freeway. This is a nice place to stay for business but if I was coming here for a Disney trip, I wouldn’t stay here. I like to be closer and/​or have FREE shuttle.
Nice pool with bar. But its shared with hotel next store. View from room? Is trailer park. Lol.
At least its clean, quiet, and comfortable. I like that.

This hotel was just ok. The beds were somewhat comfortable with decent pillows. I got a good nights sleep. It was quiet. Ice machines are not available on every floor. The bottom of the bathtub was weird (see photo) with a terrible shower head that barely produced water. The towels were kind of shabbily rolled then laying on top of each other in a little cubby. Two towels were stained and they were not plush. The room felt somewhat clean but not crisp. It’s ok for a night. The price was decent for what you get. The AC worked well. The staff were friendly. There is a small wall safe, mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot in the room. It’s not luxurious but it’s acceptable for the budget minded when staying in the area. I would probably stay here again for a night if the price was decent.

I usually stay at the holiday in next to Disneyland however my work Colleague made the reservations and booked us here.
It has a nice lobby and a grand entrance.
Normally as an Elite Platinum member I get a choice of points, drinks or a goodie bag plus a room upgrade, but at this location I got the points no choices no room upgrade.
My room was pretty standard it had a great view of a trailer park.
I found out that this is a «corp location» not a franchise and the corp locations don’t give you much. My question is why would you get better service from a franchise than a corp flagship store… hummm
The bar/​restaurant was closed for renovations while we were there and the restaurant was relocated to one of the conference rooms. we didn’t partake here.
The only on site location for cocktails was the pool bar. and there is nothing even remotely close to walk to, so pool bar it was.
Jennifer was a great bar keep and took good care of us both nights.
The parking here is poorly planned, we ended up parking in the back were the staff parks and using the rear entrance.
This property shares its pool area with the Staybridge Suites also owned by IHG
This great for them I guess, but also contributes to the parking problem.
The way the parking lot is set up at the far end of the building with no direct entrance to the hotel, they would be better served to offer a valet service as the Hilton does.
This place is farther from Disneyland and is more touristy and expensive that the one I normally stay at right next to Disneyland. Its like they are trying harder to be the cool kid and it ain’t workin.

Hotwire this place while in OC for work. Didn’t have high expectations, but man I thought Holiday Inns were nicer than this. Room was clean for the most part, just tired looking. Biggest complaint was that the wifi was not usable at all. Why offer free wifi if it isn’t going to work. I will say that I typically stay at higher end hotels, but I do think wifi should be a basic necessity. Service was friendly and parking was free. Right near the freeway as well. I wouldn’t stay here again though.

I’m not sure why this Holiday Inn has such bad reviews because we had a wonderful stay here! It’s definitely one of the nicest Holiday Inns (and hotels) that I’ve been to. I was able to book off Orbitz for a steal of $ 80/​night! Its location is in close proximity to Disneyland but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. There’s also shuttle that runs to and from the hotel to Disneyland for $ 5/​day. They also sell tickets for Disneyland at the front desk.
The beds were comfy, the rooms were clean and spacious, the hallways were quiet, and the hotel itself was modern enough for us. They offer complimentary WiFi as well as parking. The hotel is also close to the I-​5 and other freeways.

I don’t understand the low ratings. I had no issues with this Holiday Inn.
My friends and I were doing back to back Disneyland days so we decided to not drive back home to LA and and find some accommodations in Anaheim. The Holiday Inn and Disneyland hotels were way to expensive. Found this Holiday Inn from
and found a decent one night rate. This location is about 1.5 miles away from Disneyland Park. There are plenty of parking spots, a nice pool, close freeway location, nice rooms/​hotel.
My room actually came with a bunk bed and extra bed for the kids (perfect for out of town Disneyland visitors). They have refrigerator, coffee marker, decent bathrooms, TV with cable, and a decent bed. The only issued I had was the AC which was a bit out of sync.
All in all a good experience. They have Anaheim buses to Disneyland and other locations as well (free or payment). Free breakfast also offered but ask the front desk. Wifi was free and strong in the room!
