“Ideal for both Convention and Disney visitors”

Hotel is an attractive conversion of an existing property. The majority of rooms are “interior corridor” style and the front and back sections are linked with a section of exterior corridor units that have both a front and back window. Those rooms benefit from the air conditioning unit in a hallway which is quieter, and air does not blow directly on the sleeper.

The beds are extremely comfortable, and include a combination of both soft and firm pillows. The bathroom too is remodeled with granite and fluffy towels. My room was a king with an easy chair, but I had to look at two other rooms (doubles) before I found this arrangement. My room was very quiet, but those facing Katella might hear some traffic noise. The majority of the parking is in the basement, and in many respects this is more convenient than it sounds. There is only one elevator (glass enclosed) but I did not wait long at any time despite every room of the hotel being occupied.

The housekeeping is attentive, and the room was modern, clean, and well-maintained overall.

An expanded continental breakfast is offered every morning from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, and includes cold cereal, yogurt, eggs, bacon or sausage, country gravy, muffins, biscuits, bagels, bananas, coffee, juice, and warm sweet rolls. There were plenty of tables and chairs in the breakfast room.

The pool is on the medium-to-small size, and I did not have opportunity to use it. If you are seeking a lush pool area, this hotel is not for you, but it would be fine for a refreshing dip. There is also a whirlpool.

The hotel is a pleasant 15 minute walk to Disneyland’s front gates, and the Anaheim Conference Center is a 10 minute walk via Katella. At other hotels, you could be closer to one or the other, but this hotel splits the difference. The new Anaheim Garden Walk is adjacent, and this will have upscale shopping along with numerous chain restaurants (California Pizza Kitchen, Bubba Gump Shrimp, etc.) that are now open. There is plenty of dining of all types in walking distance.

The only problem I experienced was flaky wireless internet…it is very slow and I many websites just would not display, including my workplace’s email website. I reported the problem and they did something that helped a little, but overall it was frustrating and very inconvenient. There are two computers in the lobby that are available to guests. The front desk people are all very pleasant, caring, and accommodating, and that alone adds great value to this hotel.

The truly convenient location, free breakfast, exceedingly comfortable beds, newer heating/cooling units, decent TV with free HBO, and excellent customer service make this hotel worth considering.

The internet issue may be solved in the future, but it is a possible negative if you are depending on it.

“Great Place to Stay”

Holiday Inn Express Anaheim Maingate

5 of 5 stars
Kaneohe, HI
Jun 26, 2008

We had a very nice stay here. Close to Disneyland, adequate parking, very clean rooms, nice hot jacuzzi, heated pool. Best part is the continental breakfast. HUGE selection, all delicious. Hot water was hot, no problems with showers or beds. Bath towels were HUGE and super thick. Pillows had little embroidered labels identifying their firmness which was great. Bathroom was roomy and spotless. One strange thing was most of the outlets were loose, to where your chargers would fall out when trying to charge phones, etc. but we did find some tight ones. The only thing that would make it better was if breakfast and pool hours ran a little later. Pool closes at 10 p.m. and it would be nice to use it after a day at Disneyland. Other than that everything was very clean and well maintained. Staff was helpful with directions, places to eat, and when we needed tape for a large box. Very nice place to stay.

    • Disliked — Pool closing at 10 p.m. and breakfast over at 9:30 a.m.

I'm a frequent quest to this hotel because of the excellent services. The front desk staffs are very friendly and provide "home coming feeling" the guests. I would like to mention Britney esp. due to her wonderful attention to details. Marcus Lee.

“Great!”

Holiday Inn Express Anaheim Maingate

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed here for two nights in April. We booked it through a website and the man that owns it, Rakesh was very helpful by email as we were travelling from Australia. Our flight was landing at 8am and when we arrived near 10am he had the room ready for us so we could have a shower and freshen up and dump our bags. The bed was so comfy and the room really lovely with a nice bathroom too. Very handy if you want to drive to Disneyland, etc. I really recommend staying here. The renovations have made this place very nice. The pool looked small though we didnt go into it. We didnt have breakfast there either so not sure what that was like. But other than that, I really recommend this place for value, cleanliness, comfort.

“Great Stay - close enough to walk”

Holiday Inn Express Anaheim Maingate

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed here for 3 nights and LOVED it. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were kept up. We accidentally made a horrible mess with popcorn and chips and the maid service was great! One of our kids "blankies" was taken when the beds were striped. They washed it and returned it without a hassle. The pool was heated so even in cooler weather swimming was great. The front desk staff was courteous and knowledgable. Breakfast was great as well although it was done at 9:30 so we were always rushed to make it.
It was close enough that our 3, 5 and 7 year olds walked to and from for 2 visits to Disneyland each day. We loved to come back in the afternoon and relax at the pool before returning for night shows. Lots of restaurants closed by.
Would stay there again.
