Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites?

[JenLoy]

For those of you that have stayed here before, I was wondering if you could tell me what to expect. I hear parking may be an issue. Is there anything else I need to worry about? We're arriving in Late August.

This is one of the many strip motels that were built along Harbor Blvd. years ago. Just be warned that from the parking lot area, you'll be tempted to think you've booked a real dive, but it's not that bad!

The rooms are big, basic and clean. Nothing fancy, but not scary either. You are about as close as you can get to the main entrances to the park, which is really nice.

The pool is indoors, so in the summer it's toasty in there, and it's VERY chlorinated. (My kids wore goggles).

We found the staff to be accommodating and polite, and although parking was squishy, we always had a spot. You really don't need to use your car once you're there. There are several convenience stores, restaurants, etc., within walking distance.

This is a great place for value and room size. I wouldn't worry.

Thank you!! You've put many of my fears to rest. I kept thinking for the deal we were getting, something had to be amiss. I'm so glad to hear otherwise.

Thanks again!!

The rooms are decent, the breakfast is bear minimum to be called a breakfast- 1 type of fruit, 1 type of danish, toast and coffee/juice/milk. I had brought oatmeal packets and bowls and do not regret it. That and toast were perfect. They do have cold cereal cups in the gift shop next door for 99 cents a piece.

The pool is indoors and in Feb. it was warm inside. The pool was cold and the spa was HOT!

The staff was friendly, parking is bad, but it is bad at all of the hotels across from Disneyland. I have seen worse.

Most people complain about being double charged. If you read reviews on tripadvisor or mouseplanet, that is their main complaint. The way to solve it is to just book and charge the same credit card. We did not have any problems with being over charged.

If you can, book a suite which are all at the front of the hotel. The normal rooms are at the back of the hotel. The fridge and microwave were nice as well.

If you got a great deal- enjoy your stay. If you are like most you will be at the park for most of the time anyway.
