I've stayed at this hotel several years in row for an annual meeting my company attends at the convention center. The best part is that the hotel is literally right next door to the convention center and it does have a nice lobby/restuarant area for meeting with clients.

However, the rooms are starting to look very dated and it looks like this hotel has not been updated in at least 10 years (Minus the beds- they were comfortable w/ new linens) The carpet looked dirty/worn and the bathroom was pretty dingy. The hallways are dark with wallpaper peeling off the walls~ you can tell this hotel gets a lot of traffic and needs some TLC.

I stayed at a newly remodeled Marriott (Midtown, NYC) about a month ago (flat screens, fancy bathrooms, etc) and they really need to do the same with the hotel!! The location is great but everything else needs improvement.

I stayed at this hotel during a convention for work.

It has been remodeled. The exterior looks a bit dated, but the interior is lovely.

The guest rooms are nicely appointed.

The restraunts serve great food and it is home to one of the largest Starbucks I have ever seen.

The Kinkos closed early on the day that I needed copies, fortunately the hotel staff accomodated my request.

This is very close to the convention center and about a $8 cab ride to Disney.

Very nice!

This is a fine hotel... It's huge and accomodating for conferences and business, and the management sells it as such. If your company's paying for everything, and it's not too bad. It's a 3-star as opposed to 4-star as they rate it.
The decor is a bit dated, very 80-ish. Large corridors, carpeted floors, very typical of that era. If you get a room on facing Convention Way facing Hilton, that's not a bad view, otherwise, like us, we got a room facing the backlot over the roofs of other hotels, not so sitely.
As I said, the hotel is FINE, but would I pay the rack rate of $209, definitely not. Don't forget the $20 parking (most expensive of all hotels in Anaheim -- The Hilton across just raised their price to $15 recently). $13/day for Internet (outrageous: though they claim LD calls to US are part of the deal). $15 for fridge although the cooler in room was adequate. NO MICROWAVE (as I said, very 80s hotel). In room safe is only nice feature I found. The rooms were small and again looked dated, although clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom is old but clean (needs some renovations).

Maid/Front desk very helpful/cheerful and accomodating but there's only so much they can do with the charges... "Julie" from frontdesk was particularly helpful...

Overall, this is good if you are going to Anaheim Convention Center (next door), but NOT GOOD if you are going to Disneyland. 15 minute 1 mile walk. I won't pay for shuttle since it's NOT THAT FAR, but on the other hand, it can be tiring after a long day at DL. Location is not good from DL. Next time, I would likely stay at some other Motels with more offerings closer to DL.

Recap: $$$ if you want to add everything that other "lower" hotels offer (eg: Holiday Inn), but if you are on business, get the company to pay for it. Mind you, in that case, I'd stay at the Hilton across the street (more extravagant).

Just returned from a Disneyland trip and stayed at the Mariott. We were a little scared after reading all of the negative reviews. We were very glad to find out that the hotel was much better than we expected. The rooms are average looking with nice balconies and comfortable beds. The Starbucks in the lobby is very nice. The parking garage is a long walk from your room and is $20 per day. We did walk the first few days to Disneyland and then took a shuttle the next few days. This hotel is clean and the staff are very friendly. It has a hotel feel rather than a resort feel but we would stay here again.
