Embassy Suites - Anaheim South

Has anyone stayed at the Embassy? Was it convenient for visiting the parks?

The South Embassy Suites is much closer to Disneyland than the North option, but it is still a long walk. Our family walked swiftly with teens and did it between 25 minutes to half an hour each way.

That was the LONGEST walk at the end of the day.

We took the bus the next few days, but the one stop accomodated several LARGE hotels, all filled to the brim with people headed to Disneyland. There were times we were in line but didn't get on the bus and had to wait 20+ minutes for the next bus.

On the plus side, the breakfast was nice, our room was GREAT, and Buca's is right in the parking lot. (We are a Buca loving family)

We prefer to stay at the Embassy Suites North because the breakfast was nicer, the shuttle is free and dedicated to only Embassy Suites North and it was less expensive. We found we got to and from the Embassy Suites North, on average, quicker than the South version, even though the south is closer.

The North version also has a wonderful indoor pool. The only downside is that the North version is a bit older, though our room was recently remodeled, and there is a recycling center on one side which can be noisy.

We just ask to be in a Quiet room, and they have always complied.

Hope that helps.

We stayed at Embassy Suites south on our last trip. It was great! The food was great and the lobby is AMAZING. There is a shuttle that goes straght to DL and back... but there was one time we have to wait the full 20 minutes on the way home. However, there were also times we caught it right in time or only waited a few minutes! I would go back.

Great hotel. Nice rooms and very clean. Too long of a walk for small children but you can catch the shuttle that goes to DL. Just catch the shuttle early as it can get crowded and you might end up waiting for the next shuttle.

We stayed there in June and loved it! I wrote a complete review on it with pictures.

We walked on our blockout day when we just wanted to look at DTD and Gardenwalk. Otherwise, it was a very easy drive to the parks. We would stay there again.
