The rooms are a good size, the amenities a little outdated. It is in a nice part of town but you will have to drive to get to where you want to go. The free parking and included breakfasts are nice pluses - only negative was that you could hear the highway from the room (not the case in all rooms though). ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Nov 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was friendly.

The check-in staff were helpful. The room was supposed to be a handicap room, but the toilet was a standard toilet not a handicap toilet. ##### Allen Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marlene Dec 17, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Staff was excellent, Sergio helped me out and was very pleasant/kind and respectful.

Easy access to everything. I have stayed here a few times. A little noisy in certain rooms, make sure to ask for a room facing the pool or Avenida street. Breakfast from 6-9 am. Fitness center is good, pool is clean. I will stay here again. ##### Alexander Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Serena Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff and very attentive ##### Serena Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Oct 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a pleasant stay.

Other than that good stay! ##### Amber Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Natalie Jan 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Front desk staff was friendly We were told breakfast was 6:30-9:30 and in the rooms the amenities sheet they leave on the counter said breakfast was until 10 am. We went down at 9:10 and everything was put away when we were getting coffee which was the only thing left we were rudely told by whoever was cleaning up they were done with breakfast. ##### Natalie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly Dec 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean included towels and toiletries. There was a sink with a microwave and mini fridge. The accessibility of the room was easy and convenient. Only thing is that it is right next to the freeway so you will hear a lot of ruckus but it’s completely normal. They also have free breakfast from 6:30 am to 9 am. I absolutely want to thank Itzel for checking in with us and making sure we were okay and asking if we needed anything her hospitality was awesome. ##### Kelly Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Sheraton-Park-Hotel-At-The-Anaheim-Resort.h3775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hilton-Anaheim.h9.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles Int'l Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Resort Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Suites-Hotel.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, North San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/Carlsbad-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Residence-Club-Aviara.h3957849.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
