We stayed at the Best Western Anaheim Inn Sep 19,20, 21.
After a four night cruise on the Diamond Princess from Vancouver, we arrived at this hotel at about 10:00am on Sep 19th.
Staff is very friendly, and check-in was a breeze, even with a voucher from our travel agency. They even had a room ready for us so early in the morning! Very impressive!
We had requested a room on the top floor, front of the building (to see fireworks....turned out to be pointless as we were in the park for those!). However, what we got was a room on the top floor, at the front of the second building (room 319). This made a big difference to our tired feet at the end of a very long day at Disneyland!
When we returned to our room on the first night, I discovered that the plug in the bathtub didn't plug...I was really disappointed about this, as we had our two kids with us, both of whom don't like showers much, and I had some very tired feet I wanted to soak! Other than that, there was some peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, and the air conditioning didn't work well, and was very noisy. Shower was fine for pressure and temp. however :)
Toiletries were icky. Shampoo was fine but there was no conditioner, and the lotion smells terrible...no big deal. I just went to the very nice little shopping area at the Ramada Inn Maingate next door and bought those things for a pretty good price. Good coffee there too (Ramada Inn Maingate!)
Double beds were not particularly comfy..but livable.
The next morning we asked to be moved to a ground floor room at the front and were accommodated no problem, again the room was ready first thing in the morning and did not delay our early entry to the park. This time we got room 106...much better and very close to the street...shortening the walk considerably.
Same peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, same gaps around shower head plumbing. This room had a working tub plug, which was nice at the end of the second night. Both kids took baths, and I got to soak my feet. While my Daughter was in the tub, we saw a bug on the floor that my hubby says was a cricket, but to me looked very much like a cockroach...not sure as we don't have them where we live.
Overall, we had a decent stay. We used our room for sleeping and bathing only. didn't get a chance to use the pool, so can't comment there.
The Good:
Rooms ready very early!
Fairly clean
Great customer service
Very accommodating staff
The not so good:
Beds not the most comfy
The bug
The slight disrepair
Overall, we'd stay there again, but would like to try something else.
