Homewood Suites Shuttle Question

[gabsandalex]

I thought that the Homewood Suites had it's own shuttle, but when I called they said that they contracted with the ART Shuttle. If that is correct, does anybody know what route and how many other hotels/stops there are? I don't see it on the ART site, but it does list the Marriott Suites which appears to be around the corner.

Thanks!

We just left there on Oct. 10 and they had a shared shuttle with the Sheraton. I believe it was provided by PCA? I still have a few passes I can look it up. They were GREAT. I was worried about a shuttle since I had heard such bad things but it really made out trip. They left the hotel at :15 and :45 past the hour and left the park at :00 and :30 past the hour. They even ran late after the Halloween party!! I would stay there again in a heartbeat! We have the best vacation!!

Edit: This was the Homewood Suites Garden Grove. Not sure if there is more than one?

Well enjoy it! I travel a LOT for work and this is one of my favorite hotels ever. They just had everything we needed. There is also a Target that is a very easy walk across the street so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything. (they open at 8am)

I'm staying here in five days! Just curious does the shuttle stop at Homewood suites first, then the Sheraton? How long does it take to get to Disneyland? Also, do you tip? *

For us it always stopped at the Homewood first for pick up and drop off. It is about a 10min drive with all the traffic lights. We were always there a few minutes before the next scheduled pick up time. The shuttle drops off in the white zone.

The shuttle was $13 per person for a 5 day pass... I don't remeber the other prices. They were a little more daily if you bought them for a shorter time period.

Personally - we did tip with a few exceptions. One night it was FREEZING and the driver had the air conditioner on and wouldn't turn it off. No tip for him!! We normally did a dollar or two each way but many people didn't tip at all. There was no pressure. Our favorite driver was Billy and we gave him a nice tip on the last day because he was WONDERFUL!!

One last thing- we were over at Paradise Pier one day and decided to take a taxi back to save our feet. It was $8.15 before tip. Just FYI in case you decide to take one.
