No shuttle but we noticed the Anaheim bus/shuttle picked up right at gardenwalk. Not sure on parking, we ubered to/from the airport. The walk took us 12 minutes and was super easy .7 miles. Brand new hotel and it shows, carpet in the room still felt plush even!
Did you feel safe walking back late/dark? thanks!
We've walked from the Clementine Hotel (Residence Inn then) so many times, and I have never felt unsafe.
I haven't made that walk LATE at night, but I have walked from Garden Walk (Cheesecake Factory) back to my hotel on Harbor after dinner, probably around 9 PM. I found it a little uncomfortable, to tell you the truth. There were the usual homeless & lurkers, as well as a fair number of people coming and going and doing their thing. We didn't feel threatened but definitely uncomfortable. I'm older and petite and I was with my 18-year-old daughter. She got a lot of looks and I was uneasy with the attention. It may not have been a big deal, but I prefer to stay closer to DLR because of the fact that I do feel vulnerable.
Good Lord $40!! These hotels have lost their mind. Thanks again.
It didn't use to be like that. My first job out of school was front desk at the Hilton on Harbor. So many
Yep sure did, it was my husband and I and there were quite a few people out walking.
I guess that’s why there’s hotels for everyone, rooms weren’t really that great to us. But glad you enjoy them! A 12 minute walk is literally nothing compared to the 9 miles we did in the park!
My oldest daughter and I were walking back to Hojo and a guy jumped out from behind a bush and made every effort to scare us to death. He nearly succeeded. He was threatening, yelling, chasing us and obviously not in his right mind. That was probably 12 years ago. When I went to Cheesecake Factory with her little sister as referenced in the above post, it made me realize that I am one who definitely prefers to stay inside the resort bubble. I'm NOT used to that kind of thing and I'm very uncomfortable with the thought of being accosted on the street.
Parking at the JW is $40/day - Valet only
That’s horrible! I definitely also don’t think homeless people are no big deal and nothing to worry about. But I will add that I saw a couple days ago in DL two men nose to nose screaming at each other right next to me that scared the crap out of me, so crazy erratic behavior comes from everywhere. If I was by myself or just with a child doing a 12 minute walk at night would I do it? Nope. I wouldn’t do that pretty much anywhere though. Sorry your family went thru that, sounds awful.
40 dollars 41 dollars?? I remember when parking was an extra 10 or 15....heck anyone
"Absurd charges" occurs in most vacation or business locations. Stay in San Francisco? Parking is $45-80 for self parking. LA? The same.
Don't forget NY it is really bad there also. Minimum places for cars. Some hotels were free.
