My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and just go somewhere and have fun, while having a relaxing place to stay in the evenings to unwind.

I was browsing through Expedia when my spouse mentioned that she wanted to visit Disneyland, and came across the Anabella Hotel at an amazing price.

All other decent places (3 star and above) were going for well over $200. We booked a concierge level room at the Anabella for $129/night - which included a King sized bed, an additional full-size bed (in a seperated area of the room), as well as a hideaway couch.

The room was nicely stocked and had a flat-screen television. They even had two complimentary waters waiting for us.

We had one problem on the first night with the air conditioning. I called the front desk and within about 5 minutes a repair man was working on it. On top of that, the front desk called to make sure that everything had been fixed to our liking.

The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of. One night we came back from the park fairly late with the intention of opening a bottle of wine. I had forgotten to bring a bottle opener, so I stopped by the concierge desk to see if they had one available. She had only one, so she walked with us to our room and opened our bottle for us!!

We added one night to our stay, and had to move, due to them being so busy. The second room that we stayed in, while still concierge level accomodations were slightly less "nice" than our first, but everything was still very quiet, clean, and pleasant.

All in all, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Anaheim. I'm sold.

We had two rooms booked with the hotel and were staying four nights,the rooms were very nice and clean and it was a very good location from Disneyland.We walked to Disneyland every day 15 minutes or so,and you can go though The Grand Californian Hotel
Might be a little much for small kids,but no problem for teens.Awesome beds.No shuttle is provided by the hotel,you can take the local shuttle for $3.00.The rooms were always cleaned and ready.The prices were very reasonable.We also purchased our tickets for Disneyland there.My only complaints were the fee for parking(every one charges it we were told)and the breakfast that comes with the package deal coffee or tea or milk small muffin or danish and fruit not that exciting really.There are two restaurants close by Tiffys and Cocos.I will stay there again

So I looked for a hotell close to Disney, I have stayed at other in Anahiem with good luck. I read some reviews and they all listed this hotel as good. I believe (after staying there) that these were employees or other hired by Anabella to write good reviews.

When I arrived there I was informed that I had to pay for parking (11.00 a night). I have never had to pay for parking at any hotel. They leave this out of the "low price" search results which is a (I believe) FRAUDULENT PRACTICE as other hotels do not charge for parking and the atual price at Anabella is "room + parking"

On to the room;
1. The room has these funky old wooden shutters that dont shut all the way so light comes in from the outside and makes it hard to sleep. As well the drapes are for show, they dont close.
2. The furniture is cheaper than the stuf at walmart and looks worse too.
3. The safe broke and we couldnt get our stuff out without calling for service.
4. The bathroom kept flooding and the guy they sent to fix it kept saying that we were spilling water on it. Until he came out a third time and saw water shooting up from the toilet bolts!
5. They moved us to a new room because of the flodding (at 1:30am after telling me they would move me at 10:30PM)
They would not give me any discount even after all the problems.
6. The new room had the same crappy wooden shutters and it smell like mold so bad that both my wife and I could not fall asleep.
I have pictures of the woodedn shutters and the bathroom leak attached to this review.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Anabella Hotel. We were in a Concierge Suite, bottom floor which had a big private patio and garden out front, a great breakfast which was served in the Tangerine Grill, and a beautiful walk to Disneyland down Disneyland Drive...took 13 minutes to get there. The trees were all lit up at night and the short cut through the Grand Californian Hotel was great. We were impressed with the room, it was exactly as shown in the pictures. We loved eating out on our patio, which was hedged in by bushes. The kids loved having their own bed at the end of the L shaped room. I was leary about our booking as the online reviews are mixed, but after having stayed there for 5 nights, we are not sure why anyone would give this hotel a bad review. I think it would have taken longer to wait for a shuttle then it did to walk. Our vacation was perfect, the pool was so clean and nice, surrounded by beautiful flowers, and the restaurant was great. We ordered room service or ate on the patio many times. We would go back and we would recommend this hotel. I think the Concierge suites are the way to go as they are updated and offer more amenities. We left every morning from the restaurant with a big complimentary coffee in hand and the staff was very friendly. Beautiful grounds and comfy rooms.
