"I would not rent this place!! It’s not accurate with the description that you see on VRBO. The location was not desirable. There was street car racing and Cops everywhere on the streets. It took forever get hot water in the shower. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable to sleep on either. There was a DJ below the unit that that played music from 6-10. That was not mentioned on the VRBO site. I would definitely think twice before renting this unit."

Top Santa Ana Hotel Reviews

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a great stay, staff was wonderful, especially the shuttle drivers to and from the park. It’s a little hard to request the shuttle unless you call the main hotel number, but other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay."

Ramada by Wyndham Anaheim Convention Center

8/10 Good

"The room was big; the king bed was comfortable ; the shower was big and there was plenty of water. The buffet breakfast was so-so. The biggest problem we had was with the bed frame. There was sheet metal that enclosed the bed frame and went down to the floor. Any time you accidentally bumped it it sounded like thunder which isn't bad during the day but in the middle of the night is startling! The best thing we found was Thames Disbey shuttle for Toy Story parking lot was nearby. We could walk down there, go through security, ride the shuttle up to the entrance and miss a lot of the lines in the morning. Good hotel and we'd stay again"

"I just think there should be more microwaves available a"
