walking distance suites w/ comfy beds?

[jofo]

I'm trying to figure out which hotels are walking distance and have suites with a door that shuts between a bedroom and the common area AND have comfy beds (# of beds not important, just want to be able to put our toddler in a separate room from us so he'll hopefully sleep). Desert Inn looked promising but it sounds like the beds aren't so great. Thanks for any help!

We live in SoCal but we like to drive up from SD and stay over and do the Parks for 2 full days.

So we try all different hotels all the time.

2 weeks age we stayed at DESERT PALMS HOTELS & SUITES. Very nice. Great mid week price of $82.00(included tax). Free parking, free wifi, free breakfast, fridge and microwave in the room. TV's in both rooms. Brand new plasma tv's that actually were put in our room that exact day we checked in.

Oh, adding we had the KING suite and the bed was VERY COMFY!!!! It was 425 sq ft of space. Probably 12 min (maybe less) walk to DL!

Edited to add the address: 631 West Katella. This is not Desert Inn, their address is 1600 Harbor.

Carousel Inn and Suites and Fairfield inn tie for the best beds. Carousel has suites.

Desert Inn and Suites, while clean, have very uncomfortable beds.

We LOVED the Howard Johnson Anaheim Kids' Suite. My 2 and 5 year old's had their own room AND bathroom (some hotels' suites don't have 2 full bathrooms). Our room had the king bed, microwave, fridge, and full bathroom.

Some people don't like the background freeway noise and I was REALLY nervous as DH is a very light sleeper (he can hear the backyard neighbor's dog despite double-paned windows). However, we kept the AC on all night and didn't hear it at all.

I lucked out as jory29 gave me her family's reservation so we only paid the $99/night Entertainment card rate. It's normally about $160/night but I would totally pay that for the Kids Suite. The rooms are fairly newly renovated (nice new linens, beautiful furniture, tasteful pirate theme artwork, comfy beds, etc.). Free parking. Free wifi. Nice flat screen TVs and the bunk bed in the kids' room has really good safety railings. I had been nervous as DD5 has never slept in a bunk but she loved it.

Hope my feedback helps!

We are just back from the Homewood Suites Garden Grove. They are NOT walking distance but they had a great shuttle that ran on time and was never too full. We don't have kids but the shuttle had a luggage rack up front for strollers and the driver loaded them for guest. They also included a full breakfast daily and a light dinner four nights a week.

The staff was wonderful and rooms were great. I travel a lot and I really enjoyed this property. I know it isn't what you were asking about but if you consider something with a shuttle this is a great choice!

Most of the hotels along Harbor have a few suites if you look on their website. But not all are true suites with a separate bedroom. Some have a half wall.

We also stay only in suites because our 2 yo can go to bed as early as 6 pm and doesn't sleep with noise/light.

We stayed in Desert Inn & Suite in June and I couldn't sleep at all in the beds because they were too hard.

We stayed in the Park Vue Inn 2 room suite (2Q+1 sofa sleeper) and the beds were super soft and heavenly, but the suite overall was dirty, and I didn't care at all for the free food. It was also expensive- our base AAA discounted rate was $169/night.

We stayed in HoJo- a 2Q Premium room which I think has the same beds as the Kids Suite, and those beds were also super soft. We are staying in the kids suite in 3 weeks, and my only concern is that usually we prefer a layout where there is a bedroom and living room/kitchenette, but the kids suite has a bunkbed and twin sofa sleeper in the "outside" room. Also the fridges are small- the freezer won't freeze ice packs.
