Score breakdown
How the 92/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
96- “The bathroom was amazing, with a huge glass walk in shower.” 14
- “The bathroom, at least in the king room, is the part of the room that makes Hotel Indigo stand out from most, as many hotels in the area tend to phone it in as it pertains to bathrooms. I feel Hotel Indigo did a great job, especially considering the space constraints.” 4
Location
96- “that's i think that is the biggest selling point for me is that it was so central to the parks it was like barely a three-quarter mile walk to there eight minutes tops” 1510:14
- “and it was safe it was close to the parks we were able to take several breaks oh yeah and it was just like you were able to walk from disneyland literally like main street to our hotel in 10 minutes easy you can't beat that” 1516:41
Room
93Service
95- “Very nice and the staff is STELLAR--very friendly and will do their best to make sure you have a nice stay.” 10
- “The most impressive aspects of The Anaheim Hotel are the proximity to the theme park, the hotel grounds which include the largest traditional swimming pool of any hotel near Disneyland and tons of green space, and the service from the staff.” 6
Bed & Sleep
93- “Excitingly, the mattress was the real winner. It allowed me to sink into it just enough, while having the right amount of firmness without me feeling like I was sleeping on the floor. It made for a great sleeping experience after schlepping myself through the parks all day.” 4
- “The bed was very comfortable and is one of my big check-list items for hotels near Disneyland. The comfortable bed, which had down pillows, was a great place to end a long day after the parks.” 6
Value
91- “Stayed there in September for our honeymoon. ( we are both from Orange County but now live in Oregon so we know the area well). It was by far the best value around.” 10
- “The room was incredibly clean and nice. I liked that it had hardwood/laminate floors, something I haven't seen in many hotels at that price point.” 10

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The room was incredibly clean and nice. I liked that it had hardwood/laminate floors, something I haven't seen in many hotels at that price point.” 10
- “Other amenities offered include free wifi and free parking, which is not insignificant relative to other hotels. There's also no resort fee which is a definite plus!” 2
- “Stayed there in September for our honeymoon. ( we are both from Orange County but now live in Oregon so we know the area well). It was by far the best value around.” 10
- “I stay at Wyndham. I'm actually currently staying there now and have another booking for there in Nov. it's great for the price range.” 13
- “It was by far the best value around. It was maybe 1.5 times the cost of the local Motel Six but is right across the street. We walked to the park which was nice.” 10
- “Clearly, this isn't a value hotel but considering the free parking, free Wifi, and no resort fees, those rates are a tad easier to swallow.” 4
- “Hotel Indigo bridges the gap, offering nicer accommodations but still at a value price.” 2
- “there is a beat up safe in the top yeah it looks a little rough and a hair dryer hidden up here in the closet alyssa was really concerned for a hot second” On camera154:33
- “Our room was impeccably clean, well appointed, and had an amazingly comfortable mattress and pillows.” 4
- “Honestly, my only gripe with the room was the severe lack of USB ports. For a modern hotel, especially one close to a convention center, the room should be crawling with them.” 4
- “Additionally, on the counter next to that is a microwave for guests to use. There are no microwaves in the rooms, so this is a nice and welcomed perk, though I would've preferred an in-room.” 4
- “Cute and trendy. The room felt modern and updated. Add that to the cleanliness and you've got a winner.” 12
- “Above and below is one of their normally available rooms that has a theme park view. The view from this room looks stunning.” 6
- “the main sell point of this room is obviously the view we just loved every single morning and every single break we took in the room the blinds were open the door was open it's just so nice to be able to like hear the birds and just look outside like the be the view is beautiful it's just been so nice” On camera156:57
- “The furniture is older and everything just feels a little outdated (except the shower- once again that was nice).” 13
- “The bedding and design of the room are also an upgrade although I'm not personally a fan of the pops of green.” 2
- “Storage space was decent, as we had a closet near the bathroom to hang our clothing and stash away our luggage.” 4
- “VERY clean. They always stocked the bathrooms with fresh towels and refreshed the room daily. One of the cleanest Anaheim hotels I've stayed at - and that's saying something.” 12
- “Though the room structures are dated, the rooms feel clean and have comfortable linens.” 6
- “The window from our room let us view the fireworks at night, but it was looked over a very unattractive grass field. I hope someone develops that area eventually. I wasn't there for the view though, and it didn't bother me at all.” 14
- “Reasonably priced room options - we picked a suite so that Kitt could go to bed behind a closed door at his usual time and the rest of us could hang out in the common area (watch TV, order food, etc).” 12
- “I enjoy the room as a whole as it's a nice combination of practical and modern. I could do without the green but outside of that I thought the design was nice.” 2
- “Rooms were clean and up to date (not sure if the previous commenter stayed in an older room?).” 13
- “The mini refrigerator was roomy enough for us. We brought protein drinks, a few PRIMES, a couple energy drinks, and drinkable yogurts and still had more room to play with had we needed it.” 4
- “here is the view from our balcony and there is dca right there it's a beautiful california day and the balcony also has two chairs which is very nice did we ever sit in them no but like if we had more time like just like sipping on your coffee in the morning and this view is everything” 15
- “Definitely ask when you make reservations if you can get a room that faces the parks as the view of the fireworks from the upper floors is a nice bonus :)” 10
- “you've got a desk area with a little chair if you need to work from home or whatever while you're here this is a nice little area to do it” On camera152:52
- “The room was incredibly clean and nice.” 10
- “Hotel Indigo has murals throughout that celebrate the area's farming industry. Honestly, the mural in the room didn't do a lot for me but I admire the inspiration.” 2
- “First impressions of the Family Suite on the 4th floor were summed up with one word - Wow! It was quite spacious, had laminate floors (absolutely love this), two very comfortable queen beds, and a couch area with coffee table.” 14
- “penguinxing • 12 taon ang nakalipas We stayed there for a weekend two weeks before Christmas. We loved the hotel and could even see some fireworks from our room.” 10
- “Chorizo breakfast burritos are a must-try.” 9
- “Not a luxury hotel obviously, but clean, modern, and has everything you need (decent restaurant, small pool/lounge area, comfy beds).” 10
- “It is a great late-night meal for after a return from the parks or a quick bite mid-afternoon. Also, the hotel offers room service which was surprisingly good. I'll share photos of my breakfast burrito below.” 6
- “We ate here for breakfast on our final day before hitting the road. I went with the Hearty Breakfast platter ($17). It came with two eggs, hash browns, a choice of meat (I went with bacon) and two pieces of toast. It was decent. Wasn't great. but wasn't bad either.” 4
- “Even so, we enjoyed the breakfast burrito and chocolate croissant. In fact, the chocolate croissant which came piping hot may have been the best chocolate croissant I have ever had.” 6
- “The restaurant was great, and we had breakfast there several times before heading into the park. We had one server who would bring out the whip cream canister for the kid's pancakes, and he was a definite gem.” 14
- “Right off the lobby is also a fun pizza restaurant called Pizza Press. You get to pick your own toppings and then they fire the pizza for you. It's very much a pick-your-own style like Chipotle for pizzas. It is a great late-night meal for after a return from the parks or a quick bite mid-afternoon.” 6
- “The bathroom, at least in the king room, is the part of the room that makes Hotel Indigo stand out from most, as many hotels in the area tend to phone it in as it pertains to bathrooms. I feel Hotel Indigo did a great job, especially considering the space constraints.” 4
- “as probably the bathroom is probably our least favorite part of this room yeah just because it needs a little updating but i mean it was fine like we showered and we went yeah exactly” 15
- “Here's a look inside the bathroom. It's fairly large, mainly due to the sink being inside of the bathroom. That's not really a plus but overall the rest of the bathroom kept up with the slick look.” 2
- “rooms just feel like they could use an update. perfectly clean and the beds comfortable, but the shower and bathroom feel a little dated to me.” 13
- “and of course there are some some nick picks here and there the bathroom was kind of rough yeah we talked about that during the room tour” On camera1513:27
- “No bathtub. Now, I didn't ask if other rooms had tubs, but mine certainly didn't. I knew there weren't any other suites available, so I didn't ask. But not having a tub isn't great if your infants/kids are used to that.” 12
- “The furniture is older and everything just feels a little outdated (except the shower- once again that was nice).” 13
- “The bathroom was amazing, with a huge glass walk in shower.” 14
- “oh and we also wanted to mention the shower whenever you turn on the water it kind of spurts out a little bit of brown you know just for like a second it's maybe like half a second that's fine but other than that like our hair my hair has been fine” On camera155:48
- “The big winner is the walk-in shower, as walk-ins are my preference.” 4
- “The shower was very nice, staying away from the shower/tub combo.” 2
- “I appreciated that there was no carpet, and the bathroom was a good size.” 13
- “The bathroom was amazing, with a huge glass walk in shower. There was a huge mural on the wall, and I loved the overall esthetic of the room. It's very contemporary.” 14
- “the shower pressure does leave something to be desired it again it gets you clean” On camera155:32
- “so there has been one gripe about the hotel the bathroom is a little dated it could use some updating i mean it's the fans loud this is that is nitpicky but it's just the fit and finish of it is it's tight it is very tight yeah” On camera154:44
- “The bathroom was clean with plenty of space get ready in the morning.” 6
- “Nice touches include a separate toilet and a shower, along with hair dryers and towels.” 9
- “Mag-reply I-share Iba pang mga reply Iba pang mga reply SkipperSara94 • 1 taon ang nakalipas We stayed at hotel indigo on our first trip! We stayed at hotel indigo on our first trip! It was a great location! About a 7-12 minute walk depending how fast you walk.” 13
- “The Anaheim Hotel, one of the best hotels within walking distance of Disneyland, is located just across the street from Disneyland at about a 10-15 minute walk to the front gate.” 6
- “I'm not surprised that the Hotel Indigo Anaheim has surged to the top of Trip Advisor's list of top hotels in Anaheim. It has earned all those 5 star reviews. Spacious, clean, and very close to Disneyland, I can't recommend this one enough.” 14
- “that's i think that is the biggest selling point for me is that it was so central to the parks it was like barely a three-quarter mile walk to there eight minutes tops” On camera1510:14
- “The location of Hotel Indigo isn't a reason to stay here but it isn't enough to dissuade someone either. A 15 minute walk is pretty run-of-the-mill relative to the other Disneyland hotels we've stayed at.” 2
- “We loved the hotel and could even see some fireworks from our room. It had free parking, which was nice, and is a short walk from Disney.” 10
- “and it was safe it was close to the parks we were able to take several breaks oh yeah and it was just like you were able to walk from disneyland literally like main street to our hotel in 10 minutes easy you can't beat that” On camera1516:41
- “The location is good, in my opinion. It's not an absurdly long walk to the gate, and there are a lot of restaurants within walking distance” 10
- “The location is good, in my opinion. It's not an absurdly long walk to the gate, and there are a lot of restaurants within walking distance (iirc, we got carry out from the Cheesecake Factory, which was a block or so away, and there were many other chain restaurants in the area).” 10
- “The most impressive aspects of The Anaheim Hotel are the proximity to the theme park, the hotel grounds which include the largest traditional swimming pool of any hotel near Disneyland and tons of green space, and the service from the staff.” 6
- “Staff is always very friendly. There's one guy that remembers me (at least he acts like he does). Either way it's a nice touch.” 13
- “the doors do open outside but they are covered so it's kind of like a breezeway hallway thing i kind of liked it i did it was nice and i think it obviously never rained while we were there but it would be enough to keep the rain off but there was like trees growing through we are on the second story it was nice” On camera157:41
- “Very nice and the staff is STELLAR--very friendly and will do their best to make sure you have a nice stay.” 10
- “there's a nice big full-size mirror right here so you can look at you know your fit” On camera154:10
- “The food is decent and the service from the staff was great (as was the case with the rest of the hotel).” 4
- “I just booked there for 24 hour Disney so I'll let you know after my stay. I spoke to one of the supervisors yesterday and he was very helpful.” 10
- “and there is air conditioner oh yes the air conditioner air conditioner kind of a heat pump we use it with fan yeah it's been really nice” On camera156:47
- “It was definitely nicer and cleaner than our previous stay at Grand Legacy and Anaheim Desert Inn. We're actually booked there again for December! Staff is super friendly as well.” 13
- “They're #2. We checked in at 6:30 pm after a quick flight from Vancouver, and check in was easy, the room was ready, and everyone was friendly and helpful” 14
- “Helpful/friendly front desk staff. Offered us water bottles on check in and check out. It's the little things.” 12
- “I spoke to one of the supervisors yesterday and he was very helpful.” 10
- “Excitingly, the mattress was the real winner. It allowed me to sink into it just enough, while having the right amount of firmness without me feeling like I was sleeping on the floor. It made for a great sleeping experience after schlepping myself through the parks all day.” 4
- “Jumping back into the sleeping area, the bed comes with pillows of varying firmness. On the opening side of the pillow sheet there is wording indicting which is which. That was a nice touch as at other hotels in Anaheim, I've had to deal with what I call "flat" pillows that offer me no support.” 4
- “The bed was very comfortable and is one of my big check-list items for hotels near Disneyland. The comfortable bed, which had down pillows, was a great place to end a long day after the parks.” 6
- “Noise. There seemed to be a lot of noise coming from the rooms around us (mostly footsteps from above) but also from the cleaning staff in the hall. Our room was right next to their supply room and we heard staff going in and out at all hours. They also regularly blocked our door with the supply room door or their carts. So maybe don't choose room 316 at the Hotel Indigo.” 12
- “The room that we were staying in had two connecting rooms - one on either side. These connecting doors and front door let in quite a bit of noise from the other rooms and hallway.” 6
- “Best for Disney-bound families, less so for anyone sensitive to noise from upstairs.” 9
- “My only complaint, and it's minor, is that they have this little water and light show in this ground floor fountain that played music loud enough to be heard on the top floor room we were in. It went on until around 9, which is when my kids were trying to sleep.” 10
- “thanks so much for your input! how do you like the rooms in terms of cleanliness and noise? gr8ness23 • 1 taon ang nakalipas They're always clean when I go.” 13
- “tel have mentioned that some external noise leaks in. This was my biggest frustration with the hotel but it's one that many hotels in Anaheim fall victim too.” 6
- “Noise doesn't bother me at all. When you're facing the Katella side you will hear cars go by. It's not disturbing to me at all though.” 13
- “My only complaint, and it's minor, is that they have this little water and light show in this ground floor fountain that played music loud enough to be heard on the top floor room we were in.” 10
- “Slow elevator. Not a biggie, but still slightly annoying.” 12
