Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has a surprising amount of family-friendly amenities for being so close to Disneyland. My son and his buddy enjoyed the basketball court during our stay, and I could see the areas of the property that are set up for the enjoyment of younger kids. I was impressed with the variety of hot foods available for free breakfast each day. Staff was friendly and attentive, and it was refreshing to have the parking be included as well. I will return when we have our next Disney adventure!"
