We stayed there in late January. Here's the review I posted:
~~~~~~~~~~
Just got back from a 3-night stay at the Camelot Inn. I enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
After catching a 6am flight out of Seattle on Friday (1/25), we arrived at SNA and took a taxi to the hotel, arriving there around 10am. We checked in and they said our room was available. Yippee! I wasn't expecting that we'd get into our room until later that afternoon. I asked if, by chance, that room was overlooking the park. They said no, but they'd check to see if one was available. Sure enough, a room overlooking the park was immediately available on the 4th floor! It was so nice to get settled in our room and freshen up before heading to the parks that day.
The room: We had a regular room (not a suite) with two queen beds, and a nice view of the parks. The room was smallish, and furnishings were basic. It had a fridge and microwave, TV, iron and ironing board, coat rack, alarm clock, one sitting 'lounge' chair, and a desk with a desk chair. The bathroom is all in one room (no separate sink & vanity area). As we walked to the pool, I noticed that the rooms along that wing did have a vanity area outside the bathroom. If you need additional space when getting ready in the morning, or don't want one person hogging the bathroom, you might want to request that. Also, S Harbor Blvd is quite busy and noisy, so if street noise is a problem, or you're a light sleeper, you might not want a park view room.
Breakfast: Breakfast is served in a hospitality room from 7-10am. They have cereal (generic version of cheerios and corn flakes), oatmeal, muffins (chocolate and poppyseed), croissants, pastries (apple, cream cheese, cinnamon), fruit (apples and oranges), orange juice, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea. There are no frills at all (generic everything, small sized muffins & pastries), but it worked for us and we had no complaints. There are a few tables to eat there, or you can take it to the room (they had lids for the styrofoam cups). Kids, especially, seemed to like it. There was an attendant who quickly refilled items if they were running low.
Pool: The pool and jacuzzi were open and we used them every day. The jacuzzi is small, but it was hot enough and sure felt good. My daughter loved the pool. Pool towels are provided in the pool area, so that's a nice touch. Several chairs, tables, and lounges are in the pool area.
Location: You can't beat the location. I was a little nervous booking this hotel at first, because maps seem to indicate that you have to pass 3 other hotels before getting to the crosswalk to the parks. (If anybody's walked the strip in Vegas, you know that walking by 3 hotels can be about 2 miles!). All I can say is that it was very close. I counted about 175 steps between the crosswalk and the entrance to the Camelot. For the purpose of distance to the parks, you're splitting hairs between Camelot, Carousel, Tropicana, BWPPI, etc. Seriously, it's not an issue, even at the end of a long day. You're talking a few steps between hotels at most.
Other stuff: The hotel has a small sundry shop where you can get souvenirs, a few drug store basics (toothpaste, tylenol, etc), and a small selection of snacks and beverages. For a bigger selection of convenience items, go two doors down to the Tropicana hotel. There is a coin-operated laundry room. I walked by it but didn't go in so I'm not sure how many washers and dryers, or if they sell detergent (and if so, what kind). But it's there if you need it. Many restaurants are nearby - I know I'm missing a few, but they include McDonald's (next door), Quizno's, Tony Roma's, & Denny's.
I hope this helps anyone who's considering staying there!

If you stayed at the GCH, then the walk would be 4 minutes, that's really not much of a difference. And if you stayed at the
