Can you request a tower? And if so, how and when do I?

Just got home from 7 nights at the DLH: 4/26-5/3. We were in the Fantasy tower, 10th floor. FYI, the center elevator was out of service the entire time we were there. The right elevator was working maybe 1/3 of the time. We used the service elevator a few times, too. The elevator situation was a bit of an irritation for us. The stairs are okay for going down but up wasn't an option. First, I'm not walking up 10 stories. Second, you can't enter the stairwell. You cn only come out.

We'll be in a 1 br suite 5/29-6/2. I haven't made a room request yet. If our top priority is being able to see the fireworks, what tower/location should I request?

Also, we will be there on our 10th anniversary...would this improve our chances of getting a good view/getting what we request?

Thanks

Hi...we will be there in July and would love to upgrade to concierge if possible. Do you know if they offer it to everyone? If you get concierge, is the room different than the one you originally booked (I booked an upper level premium room, too)? and, how much more was the add-on for you? Thanks!

We've stayed DLH/CL before and are going again at the end of June ... but we book it that way to start with. I'm not sure if it's offered to everyone but I suppose it's possible. It's certainly more convenient when your room is on the same floor as the lounge but it's not mandatory. I think the rooms are pretty much the same.

Last time we stayed at the DLH we had a CL Premium View/DTD (Adventure Tower) and had a great view of the Fireworks.

Wow, that's an awesome view!! Daytime & nighttime pics are lovely! I had called and requested simply a fireworks view & a higher floor, but I think I'll call back and specify Adventure Tower & higher floor.

Also when I called I asked about Concierge, they said we should be offered it at check in b/c we are in a suite, and it will be an extra $200/nt

I wonder why suites don't have the same options as the rooms at time of booking? All you can chose is "1 br suite" I haven't seen "1 br Suite CL" or "1 br Suite xxx View"...?

Can you see the fireworks from any of the rooms in the fantasy tower?
If not is there a shared space (like a balcony) where anyone staying at the hotel can watch it?

It looks like you should be able to ... Fantasy tower is within the yellow circle in the lower left marked "A", Fireworks are generally in the location where the upper right yellow circled area is.

Call the hotel directly about a week before your arrival and make your request.

We have done it numerous times. We have stayed in all three towers, as well as had parking lot, resort, and pool views. We keep going back cause we like it

Can anyone tell me how the price of a 1br or 2br suite compares to the price of getting 2 standard rooms? We'll be going in August (exactly 3 months away) and I've already started thinking of our next trip, and think we may want to bring my parents along.

Are there any recent room pictures on this thread? I went back about ten pages and didn't see one. But maybe I am missing it?

Sorry I can't give you prices. I have looked into this before though for the exact same reason as you. I know it was cheaper for us to get two rooms then a 1 bedroom suite, and considerably cheaper then a 2 bedroom. When we go with my parents we've requested adjoining rooms, and that has worked well for us.

This has probably already been asked before, but how is the concierge lounge in DH

Hi Rubygoose -- not sure if anyone has answered you yet.....so here's my two cents.

We are going the week of New Year's 2014 (yeah!). There are nine in our party and we have booked the 2 bedroom suite. This room has two queen beds in each room and a queen pull out in the living room. There are also three bathrooms. We looked at this option or three individual rooms as we are taking "unmarried" dating kids so we needed some specific spaces . I compared the price of the suite to three club level rooms and the suite was $185.00 less a night than the three rooms. This made it a little nicer for us as we can put the girlfriends in the middle room and keep the boys with us. We split the room price three ways so it works out better for us. Good Luck!

This thread has information about all 3 lounges
Pictures of all 3 Disneyland Hotel Concierge Lounges

The DLH lounge could use more space and seating, overall I found it much more crowded than the GCH lounge.

A couple of questions for the DLH experts. Just curious, but which tower tends to have the larger (more spacious) double queen rooms of the three. We stayed in the Fantasy tower (before it was called that) a few years back and the room seemed a little smaller than the pictures of rooms I've seen in the other towers. I don't recall a day bed in there either. Do most of the rooms in the Adventure or Frontier tower have day beds?

Many years ago we stayed in the Frontier tower (when it was called Bonita) and from my memory that room seemed big. We had originally been assigned a room behind the elevator bank where the view was obstructed by the elevator walls so we were moved to a larger room on the resort side which seemed big.

If you book a standard view room any suggestions for room requests?

We had a standard view for our recent stay. We were in the Fantasy tower, 10th floor, overlooking the hotel entrance. The vistas were mountains. If we looked right we could see DL park and watch fireworks. The sunrises over the mountains beyond the park were gorgeous. We had a daybed and our room was quite large. We specifically requested Fantasy tower, high floor, daybed was the biggest priority. With 2 large teenage boys the daybed was an absolute must because they can't sleep together. That's a fist fight waiting to happen.

Hello,

I had some questions about the DLH as it will be my 1st time staying there. We will be staying at the DLH from Sept. 9-13 with 6 people (2 adults and 4 children). I understand the national fire code only allows 5 people per room but the 6th person is our daughter who is only 13months. Unfortunately, we can't afford a suite so I did the best i could and ordered a premium view (upper level) room at the DLH through Expedia. I recently found out after the fact, that the size of the rooms can vary despite what "view" you reserve. correct? After booking the reservation through Expedia, I called their hotel dept. to add a comment on the reservation that we would request a room in the adventure tower, with 2 queens and a daybed, with a park view. I then called the DLH directly to verify they received the reservation from Expedia and also mentioned the requests to be noted.

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything the right way to ensure I find a room that will fit all of us (comfortably). Is there any additional advice or tips that can give us a better chance of getting a sizable room? My son will be turning 4 years old a week prior to our check-in (so its like a birthday present) for him. I would hate to arrive to the hotel only to be given a small room even though it provides the "premium view". Would I be better off Looking for a different hotel?

I appreciate your time and feedback in advance.
