Room54 mentions · 9 filmed
- “We could take a pool view room on the 6th floor, or a corner suite on the tenth floor. We asked her if the upper floor was considered an upgrade and she said, it is a larger room. However when we got to the room, it was very noisy and it was definitely a downgrade, despite being a larger room.” 5
- “The highlights of the room were the comfy bed, tons of bedside outlets, the balcony and the ability to log in to Netflix, Youtube and a few other apps from the TV.” 5
- “The balcony was so spacious and the weather was so perfect that one of our mornings consisted of breakfast together on the balcony.” 14
- “Positives in the room start with the king bed and the design around it. The mattress was comfortable and I liked the modern headboard and decor around the bed, especially the hanging lamps.” 9
- “Standard rooms are functional rather than unusually spacious. They are sufficient when the hotel is mainly a place to sleep, but families planning to spend substantial time in the room may prefer a suite.” 3
- “Again, I'm left wondering if the room was an accessible one assigned to us for some reason but I'm not sure why they'd leave one half of the room this bare regardless of if it was accessible or not. This view is much better and I always appreciate the TV being centered with the bed.” 9
- “We were a family of 4 travelling (2 adults, 1 child, 1 baby) with grandma and the 1 bedroom option was perfect. We totally agree with Corene above...the sofa bed was horrible!! I tried sleeping on it one night and was incredibly uncomfortable.” 4
- “If you're traveling with kids, the Courtyard has better rooms. The corner king rooms are the deals because there's a small room for the bunkbeds and then you go down a long hall with the bathroom to the main bedroom area.” 18
- “As a (pre-Covid) frequent business traveler who stays in Starwood/Marriott frequently, I always choose Residence Inn over Courtyard, SpringHill Suites, or other brands in the chain. The room layouts and food options are so much better within the last few years.” 4
- “While we enjoyed some of the amenities, especially compared to some other Good Neighbor Hotels, the location is too far from Disneyland and problems with the room design are our main takeaways from the hotel.” 9
- “And over here is a sofa, but it pulls out so nice when there is a pull out sofa option.” On camera70:58
- “The room is nicely designed and feels modern thanks to the carpet, lighting, artwork, and other detail touches.” 4
- “There's also a laundry room, which is especially great for longer stays or families. You'll love the spacious layout of the rooms, plus the convenience of being close enough to head back for breaks during the day and return for evening fireworks.” On camera72:12
- “No in-room coffee maker and "Starbucks" in the lobby does not open until 7AM.” 6
- “Television is nicely sized; the desk is perfectly serviceable, as is the office chair.” 19
- “The views from the lounge are great, though not toward Disneyland, and there is a small balcony.” 13
- “Both are same rate just curious which one you recommend ? We just returned from a trip to Disney and stayed at the Marriott for four nights. The room was very nice and the amenities awesome.” 19
- “Fridge in the room allows for easy storing of leftovers or food.” 20
- “Have they already placed a safe box in their rooms? There are no safe boxes in the room” 18
- “Out here, we have a closet. It's got lots of storage, and there's a safe down there.” On camera70:45
- “The color scheme is a bit muted and subdued for my tastes (c'mon, this is CALIFORNIA!), but this style probably has been focus-tested as the most universally-appealing/least offensive of hotel room styles.” 4
- “And over here is a sofa, but it pulls out so nice when there is a pull out sofa option. This air conditioning is amazing. It's doing a great job, and I appreciate it because it is really hot outside.” On camera70:58
- “Honestly, no old dusty hotel carpets here. You get fresh modern decor, those super highly requested mini refrigerators, and massive TVs with deluxe streaming.” On camera221:31
- “I also found when sleeping in the living room the AC was annoying and loud clicking on and off.” 4
- “The rooms are completely clean - the carpeting is still very fresh and new, bathroom was impeccable, and bed was comfortably made.” 11
- “Some recent guests have remarked, however, that the guest room decor could use an update.” 2
- “Guest room entrance door. It was a twin room of just the right size. There were two queen beds, but there was still enough room for luggage.” 21
- “Bedroom: Comfortable bed and fluffy pillows; has a refrigerator and safe; has an area for me to do my makeup. CHECK!” 14
- “Having two televisions in the room with a second one being partitioned off from the bedroom is a huge plus. I was able to get up early, turn on the news, and use my laptop on the couch without disturbing Sarah.” 4
- “the highlights of the room were the comfy bed tons of bedside outlets the balcony and the ability to log in to Netflix YouTube and a few other apps from the TV” On camera238:26
- “Rooms were recently remodeled in 2019 and feel spacious and clean, with dark wood furniture and plain cream-colored walls.” 17
- “I've never had an issue with my room at Anaheim Marriott, it has always been clean, quiet, and functional.” 17
- “Anaheim Marriott Hotel Review Room and Photos We had a regular two double bed standard room. We had a regular two double bed standard room. It was small but laid out in a real accessible fashion with sliding doors for the bathroom to help the overall functionality and space of the room.” 20
- “The room was large with a nice view.” 1
- “I really enjoy the exterior balcony rooms; some of them look out into the city or the convention center grounds.” 17
- “The children enjoy d having their own TV in the living area and slept fine on the pullout sofa.” 4
- “the end room amenities include a basic mini-fridge safe coffeemaker iron ironing board full-sized hairdryer and some laughably tiny toiletries” On camera238:08
- “There was also an outlet. There was a chair next to the bed. This chair was very comfortable to sit on.” 21
- “Decor is contemporary and elegant, and the hotel is clean and well maintained throughout.” 16
- “And interestingly, while the suites are great, you don't actually get a microwave in your room. They have community microwaves out in the hallways instead, which can honestly be a bit of a hassle.” On camera222:57
- “The in-room amenities include a basic mini fridge, safe, coffee maker, iron, ironing board, a full sized hair dryer and laughably tiny toiletries.” 5
- “The rooms are smaller than a standard Marriott room. That is the thing to know before you book. We had four people, plus a pack-and-play, and it was cramped.” 13
- “Look elsewhere if you are a family of four sharing one room. The rooms are small, and you will feel it by night three.” 13
- “I cannot believe that they cheaped out on the sofa bed choice given that it is being used as a selling feature! Also no in room safes, and very little storage. The 3 drawers you see in the photo are only about as deep as a laptop, so could do with much more storage as well.” 4
- “The rooms also have dining tables which I value because I hate sitting in my bed to eat.” 18
- “I cannot say enough about the amazing view many of the tower rooms have, especially if you can enjoy it from a walkout balcony like we were able to do.” 8
- “Layout-wise, some guests have pointed out awkward door placements that kind of swing out into pathways or bump into the furniture.” On camera221:49
- “ive always gotten a good room even booking the day of and service is excellent.” 1
- “The decor is modern and simple, with interesting art pieces in earth tones and lots of greenery.” 17
- “The hotel itself is huge. If you have a room far from the elevators, be prepared for a bit of a long walk to get to and from the lobby.” 20
- “The bathroom had shampoo, soap, and just two large towels. There are definitely some kinks that still need working out. There were no additional linens in the room that held a sofa bed.” 25
- “Having that all out of the way, the room is modern and clean compared to some closer to Disneyland.” 9
- “The room was super spacious and beautifully appointed. Everything I would expect from a higher-end hotel.” 6
- “For some reason there were no plug-ins or USB outlets around the bed. A recently designed room without that is a strange (bad?) choice.” 9

- “They also charge for wifi which I'm not a fan of. This is going to probably sound weird to all the regular adults out there, but I am a geek and was really impressed with their elevator system. It was so fun!” 5
- “This is where I stay when I attend conventions - for that it can't be beat! It is much nicer than the Hilton across the way, and the recent remodel/upgrades (including that AWESOME elevator system) put it above and beyond.” 19
- “On my stay, the public areas were active, but the guest-room hallways remained quiet at night.” 3
- “This, and the hyatt across the street, are not only shared exhibit space for the convention, but designated party spots until deep into the evening..and it gets LOUD (as does the street music performances during this weekend by such artists like parliament funkadelic). A relaxing night will NOT be had, I assure you.” 19
- “One of the "things" that made me feel like Anaheim Marriott was state-of-the-art was their super cool elevator system! It was very futuristic - enter your number on the touchscreen or use the keypad and it will tell you which elevator to access to get to your room floor.” 14
- “we asked her if the tenth-floor option was considered an upgrade she simply said well it's a larger room however when we got to the room it was very noisy and definitely a downgrade despite being a larger room” On camera232:46
- “Sound isolation is excellent, and I mean that specifically: I heard nothing from the hallway, which is not something I can say about most 1,000-room hotels.” 13
- “Now, the bad. We already covered the walk to Disneyland, which is probably the biggest negative for me. Fifteen to 20 minutes (longer if you walk slower or are unlucky with traffic signals) may not seem like much, but that's a big deal if you are used to the hotels across the street on Harbor Boulevard.” 19
- “I am a total geek and I was really impressed with their elevator system it was so much fun you enter the floor you're going to and it tells you the letter the elevator to go to do to the size of the hotel I am sure this helps the flow of people on those busy convention days” On camera233:24
- “Also worth mentioning is the futuristic elevator system: you punch your floor into a keypad, and an elevator whisks (yes, whisks) you away to your floor. It's incredibly efficient and much cooler in person that my description.” 19

- “Though it's not the closest hotel to Disneyland, it's not a lot farther than our favorite luxury hotel, and the price is definitely right!” 8
- “d internet is also comped if you have status. When you throw in the food, it could be a really great deal, especially if you stay on points.” 19
- “For visiting Disneyland, there are much closer options but the reasonable prices and amenities of Anaheim Marriott may be worth it to you despite the longer walk or ride share drive.” 17
- “I think the price is great for the quality of room (clean + amenities) that you get. Our most recent trip we stayed at the Courtyard (also on your recommendation) and LOVED it and really, really loved the location.” 4
- “The cafe serves Starbucks drinks. There's a breakfast buffet for $25 and a pizzeria inside the hotel, as well. We've tried the buffet on a separate trip and enjoyed it although it is not worth the price.” 9
- “Expect to pay a $12.95 fee for Wifi per day if you want to use it in your room. You can use Wifi for free in the lobby and lounge though.” 20
- “In light of what it offers relative to the competition, I'd consider this pricing very competitive.” 4
- “We've gotta tell you that one of the best deals we've scored was our stay at the four-star Anaheim Marriott.” 8
- “Spending an extra $10+ a night on the internet is a waste of money and it's annoying that hotels are still doing this in 2019.” 9
- “Option of room service available was great. You could opt to skip the $5 convenience fee if you ran downstairs to pick up your food.” 20
- “I think the price is great for the quality of room (clean + amenities) that you get.” 4
- “Because of this, we have to mark them down on overall experience. They also charge for wifi which I'm not a fan of.” 5
- “Paid $140 for a Sunday night and felt like I got my moneys worth but there are much better options in the area, they're just gonna cost way more.” 18
- “I am still surprised when I see a charge for internet. It happens at nearly every hotel I have ever stayed for a conference. Hilton is notorious, but most of the Orlando conference hotels (I live in Florida) still have them, too.” 19
- “we spent about fifty to a hundred dollars less per night then we would have spent at most of the hotels across the street from the park that don't have the same quality of amenities as the Anaheim Marriott we were really happy with the value received for the price we paid because this place has so much to offer” On camera239:44

- “Fantastic bathroom with rainfall shower head. We really appreciated such a nice shower since that's not usually the case with many older hotels nearby.” 20
- “The floor is rough, so people won't slip. There was no bathtub and only the shower room, but the shower room was spacious and comfortable.” 21
- “The bathroom has a barn door. It's great for design and saving space, but not so great if you're looking for more privacy.” 8

- “The bathroom was gorgeous with an oversized tub and a huge walk-in shower.” 25

- “Terrible shower head, poor design and poor function.” 6
- “The bathroom on the smaller side, but very clean. We love that our King Standard room had a hard surface shower. If you've visited our site before, you know we don't love a tub/shower combo with a shower curtain (because, shower curtain, ew!).” 8
- “The bathroom for the size of the room was tiny.” 1
- “The bathroom was so nice, I wish I had it at my house! LOL. Huge shower and soaker tub.” 6
- “The bathroom is perfectly fine. I'm going to go out on a (not very long) limb and say not much of an update happened here. Sort of a shame, as a shower without a tub would've been great. Still, no complaints here.” 19

- “The detail that stuck with me: they had fun cups for kids. It is a tiny thing that costs the hotel almost nothing, but it tells you someone on staff thought about who their guest is. Service across the property matched that.” 13

- “The customer service here was also top notch. On par with Disney, and every single employee we came in contact with were super friendly and helpful.” 6

- “Although Anaheim Marriott has been a great choice for business travelers (remember, I stayed here for a conference), the hotel offers everything a family needs when they travel. We experienced highly-appointed accommodations and superior service during our family vacation.” 14
- “I'm not saying the Marriott was one of the stagnant hotels (I suspect it wasn't), but rather that it is one of several hotels with 'new' rooms in the area. This redesign included new carpet (I thought it looked stylish, with a nice texturized feel), new mattresses, lamps, art, and other stuff.” 19
- “In addition to the clean rooms you would expect from a high end chain offering, this hotel near Disneyland offers resort level perks and great customer service.” 11
- “Would I book it again? Yes. The service was the reason, and the kids' cups in the lounge were the moment that sealed the deal for me. Someone there is paying attention.” 13

- “The front desk was a bit small for the size of the hotel.” 21
- “I found the communication from the staff extremely lacking about what was going on. Other guests were telling us it was okay to return to our rooms. I was not prepared to do that with two young kids until I had heard this from staff.” 4
- “Customer service needs to improve: Housekeeping must to be requested (due to Covid). I called housekeeping from the room and got voicemail, so left a message with name and room number -- room was not cleaned.” 6

- “The balcony is large with two chairs and a table. I was able to eat breakfast and have coffee in the morning.” 21
- “Offering whole pizzas or by-the-slice. Great for taking back to the room for an easy dinner!” 17
- “And the breakfast buffet is a step above most. Lots of options, fresh made omelet bar, etc.” 1
- “On site restaurant did not have many options for picky eaters (aka- the kids in your group!) and had more of an adult atmosphere.” 20
- “Full breakfast voucher : Big selection of breakfast items, freshly made daily. Cant go wrong!” 1
- “The free breakfast gets rave reviews. People love it. They say it's always well stocked. There's a ton of variety and for families, it saves a boatload of money.” On camera242:23
- “The lounge breakfast there is definitely one of the better ones out there. Even during busy periods, they kept things stocked.” 1
- “Plus I enjoy JW proximity or the Gardenwalk with all the shops and restaurant option.” 12
- “The Element is our go-to for their amazing breakfast and staff!” 1
- “None of this is destination dining, and the property does not pretend otherwise. The point of the food and beverage program is to keep a convention guest fed efficiently before, during, and after the show floor opens.” 10
- “I need to eat gluten free, and there was plenty to choose from for breakfast.” 4
- “Ben and I ordered a couple tasty cocktails and a kale salad and everything was delicious we are self-proclaimed foodies and we were really impressed with the menu it surpassed what we have come to know as average hotel food” On camera234:40
- “I liked the food but it was definitely pricey for the portions I felt we received. We also ordered the room service a few times for simple breakfast items like pancakes and hash browns and found the breakfast options adequate.” 20
- “The kids meals were simple which I appreciated since my son is a notoriously picky eater. I liked the food but it was definitely pricey for the portions I felt we received.” 20
- “Overall, the food operation feels utilitarian and sized for conventions rather than for vacationers. It works, but nothing special.” 13
- “Ben & I ordered a couple tasty cocktails and a kale salad and everything was delicious. We are self proclaimed foodies and we were really impressed with the menu.” 5
- “The breakfast offered in the mornings is more utilitarian than it is cool, but is one of the better free breakfasts among the hotels near Disneyland. The room where this breakfast is served is huge, and there are a lot of options.” 4
- “As a (pre-Covid) frequent business traveler who stays in Starwood/Marriott frequently, I always choose Residence Inn over Courtyard, SpringHill Suites, or other brands in the chain. The room layouts and food options are so much better within the last few years.” 4
- “If you go to Disneyland in Anaheim, I would recommend staying at this hotel. There were also several restaurants in the hotel, and if you are tired, you can comfortably stay in the hotel without having to go outside.” 21
- “The Market Cafe is useful when you want to leave quickly for rope drop, while nFuse is better suited to a slower breakfast or a meal after returning from the parks.” 3
- “We really wanted to stay here because my husband has Celiac so the option of the kitchen to prepare his meals was a bonus. We didn't end up cooking much as we had issues trying to order groceries (another story) but the breakfast buffet ended up being great for him.” 4
- “With that said, having the Anaheim GardenWalk located directly out a side door from the hotel lobby provides a nice variety of restaurant options if you want to get back towards the hotel for food.” 11
- “Breakfast is simple but above average for a lounge, and it is served in nFuse on weekends.” 13
- “The main hotel dining room was closed, due to COVID, when we stayed. However, the space is quite large and well-appointed.” 8
- “Food must try at nFuse: Snake River Farm Wagyu Burger Chicken Sandwich Ahi Tuna Bowl Prime NY steak sandwich Kurabuta Pork Chop” 1
- “For dining, the Beastro serves breakfast, dinner, and Starbucks coffee to fuel your Disney mornings. There was plenty of seating, and the food was delicious. My breakfast sandwich was so yummy. And I also got Mickey waffles because I can't resist a Mickey waffle. And it was all so good.” On camera71:38
- “Food-wise, the best bets are the truffle fries, pizzas, and charcuterie board. Our sliders were overcooked.” 25
- “NFuse lunch and dinner pricing also very competitive than other hotels/ restaurant around the area.” 1
- “We opted instead to dine at the nFuse restaurant which is enormous. There's plenty of seating and there's also a lounge area with a pool table and other fun activities that we saw many teens utilizing.” 20
- “Protip: Ask to be seated in the bar area, if I had known this ahead of time I think our experience would have been much better. It took forever for our appetizers to come out and since it was so cold outside we ended up taking our food back to our room.” 25
Location22 mentions · 3 filmed
- “It definitely is a quieter and nicer neighborhood though ryansox • 2y ago I agree and it's only a short walk to Disneyland. They even extended lounge access to a 2nd room I had family staying in for a whole week. Such a great team” 1
- “Where the property genuinely earns its place at #7 in Anaheim is location: the Disneyland main gate is a flat four-block walk on Harbor Boulevard, the Convention Center is reached without leaving the building, and John Wayne Airport is fourteen miles south.” 10
- “The Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center is about a 12 minute walk to Disneyland, and roughly equidistant to the Anaheim Convention Center. It has a good location at the corner of Katella and Harbor, with a CVS Pharmacy next door, a Walgreen's across the street, and a Pizza Hut Express connected to the lobby.” 4
- “The Anaheim Marriott occupies an interesting middle ground for Disneyland visitors. It is close enough to walk to the parks, but not close enough to feel effortless after a long day.” 3
- “During our stay, I exclusively walked to and from the Anaheim Marriott, and each time it was about a 15 minute walk. It's just under a mile away and although there's the ART bus that can get you to Disneyland, it might be a bit far for those who like to walk.” 19
- “The cut through from the lobby to GardenWalk is a time saver to DL, and the walk to Harbor entrance is around 15 minutes.” 6
- “I found Anaheim to be in such an awkward range between going down towards the beaches and towards downtown LA area. Not much else going on around in the area. It definitely is a quieter and nicer neighborhood though” 1
- “Yes! It's definitely walkable about two blocks away from the parks! they offer breakfast and the staff is incredible I am a Marriott employee in an executive role and just think they do a fantastic job all around.” 1
- “In short, you're trading a sure thing for an amazing location.” On camera245:52
- “The walk to Downtown Disney was short and pleasant.” 4
- “we managed to snag such a deal and even though it was a little far for us to walk to and from Disneyland we were very happy spending a little extra on uber and lyft” On camera239:33
- “Still a bit of a walk to the gates- at least 10-15 minutes. This might be a bit too far to walk for some families.” 20
- “Within walking distance to Disneyland. Easily a 10-15 minute walk to the park depending on how fast you walk. We rode the ART most days and there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel.” 20
- “The Anaheim Marriott is a huge three-and-a-half-pearl chain property with a convenient location near Disneyland Park and the Anaheim Convention Center.” 16
- “Of course, there are cheaper hotels that are closer to the gates so if you're in Anaheim to go to Disneyland from open until close then staying here might not be the best move. There are certainly arguments for the hotel (we'll get to those) but from a location standpoint, you can do better.” 9
- “I've had decent upgrades there. It's a pretty long walk to the parks, though, compared to the Courtyard.” 18
- “Okay, so let's start with the one thing that everybody seems to agree on, the one thing that is an absolute hands-down slam dunk for this hotel, and that is its location.” On camera241:38
- “I don't remember the walk to DL being that short but I was also extremely sick on that trip. I remember it being a very nice hotel, though, and very manageable for distance to the parks!” 19
- “While we enjoyed some of the amenities, especially compared to some other Good Neighbor Hotels, the location is too far from Disneyland and problems with the room design are our main takeaways from the hotel.” 9
- “Many of these chains, including the Marriott, sit next to Anaheim Convention Center. If for some reason you came to this review looking for a place to stay while at a convention then this location is great.” 9
- “Once Anaheim Marriott gets over $150/night I'd start looking elsewhere. The location is a big enough negative to offset any improvement in quality.” 9
- “Places like shopping centers are not nearby, but there are many restaurants nearby. This time, I was staying at this hotel to get to the convention center, so it was very convenient. I was able to walk to the convention center.” 21
View2 mentions
- “We had what I would call a peekaboo view of the park, with a sliver of the Incredicoaster visible. If a park view matters to you, ask, but do not pay a large premium for it. The views here are not what you get from a Disney-owned hotel.” 13
- “PS - If you are a platinum or above, you do get the M Club lounge access which at the JW is one of the nicer ones. You are also positioned to have a good view of fireworks shows from the lounge patio.” 12
Bed & Sleep10 mentions
- “Having just stayed here a month ago, I will caution you that while the couch does pull out into a bed, the mattress is extremely thin & incredibly uncomfortable!” 4
- “The mattress was ridiculously comfortable as were the pillows, and all of the bedding was really nice.” 19
- “The hotel also has my favorite down pillow.” 11
- “The beds are among the most comfortable I have slept in at this brand tier.” 13
- “The bed was comfortable but it was a bit too soft for me.” 21
- “(I think the pillows were nicer at the Residence Inn, but the rest felt the same.) Now, I'm not saying this bed is subpar. It's "just okay."” 4
- “We like to stay in the north tower for park views. We really liked the modern design that Marriott has incorporated in this hotel, but we experienced a slightly lumpy mattress (it just wasn't our INTELLIbed).” 8
- “The children enjoy d having their own TV in the living area and slept fine on the pullout sofa.” 4
- “The rooms are completely clean - the carpeting is still very fresh and new, bathroom was impeccable, and bed was comfortably made.” 11
- “I think that it is better to renew the pillow because it has a feeling of overuse.” 21
