Well, it ws just ok. I was a little disapointed about the distance to Disneyland. The walk was a little longer than expected. After a day of walking ( 10 ) hours, the walk was gruelling. The Hotel was ok. The room had some stains, and the bathroom had no fans. It was very noisy ( people were standing outside my room at 5am haveing a conversation like it was 5pm ( not the Hotel's fault though) But someone was vacuuming at 10:30 pm???? The Hotel staff could have been more friendly, but not rude or anything. Bottom line, if you don't mind walking 3 very long blocks+ and you don't mind a few satins on furniture and bedding then this is the place for you. Oh by the way there was a hidden charge of $50 per night deposit for the room. It is refundable though, and $10 per day parking ( non refundable). Next time we will stay at one of the Hotel's accross the street from Disney...it's worth the extra $20.

Just returned from a pleasant stay at Anaheim Maingate Hotel. Our room was recently renovated and was clean/large. Pool area was clean and well maintained. Front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. The walk to Disneyland was short and kind of a nice stroll with my little one after a day/night at the park. Other than my room not having a microwave/fridge....I really have no complaints! The negative reviews I read really confuse me, but every experience is different!

When I got this hotel through Priceline for our Disneyland stay and then went on and read the reviews I was terrified! But when we arrived I was very pleasantly surprised. We have stayed at the Hyatt, Doubletree Suites, and the Hilton on our Disneyland trips before, but I guess my expectations are still reasonable. We loved our stay at the Anaheim Maingate Hotel.

For the cost this is a wonderful hotel. Yes, the hotel is older with a planned multimillion dollar renovation. However, it is clean, in a great location -about a block and a half down the street from Disneyland- and it has a great pool. Both the Doubletree and the Hyatt in the Disneyland area have glorified hot tubs for pools because they are so small and only go to 5 feet deep. We were thrilled with this pool where you can actually swim laps. Also, because it goes to 8 feet deep, my two oldest children spent the whole time practicing and perfecting their diving. The pool temperature was also perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

The shampoos and lotions are from Bath and Body Works, and actually work! The beds are comfortable, more so than the beds at the Hilton. The shower is a little tricky but the bath worked great for the kids. With all the other things that we loved, the tricky shower was a small tradeoff. My only huge regret is that I believed the bad reviews, and so I didn't extend our stay for the last two nights of our trip, and instead ended up with a nightmarish motel that was much farther away from our planned activities.

The customer service is great at this hotel. They are very friendly and helpful. Red Lion has brought the property and is upgrading and updating as previously mentioned. We had a really good experience there. Just don't expect the Hyatt and you'll be pleasantly surprised. We would be thrilled if we stayed here again on subsequent Disneyland trips.

The complaints will out way the compliments, in this one. But Don't let it stop you from staying. They're not THAT bad.
