Top Santa Ana Hotel Reviews

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Majestic Garden Hotel's main strength lies in the nearby access to Disneyland. They have a complimentary shuttle which is on time and readily available throughout the day and evening with convenient schedules. The drivers are friendly and helpful. An annoying $30.00 parking fee is charged, which is really unnecessary, but most hotels apparently do that. This is obviously a great hotel for families with children as the rooms and hotel lobby areas display Disney themed art work throughout. And they have a very nice large salt water heated pool with towel service for families. The rooms are spacious and clean. It should be noted that room service occurs at the third night, I believe. If you stay for one or two nights, there is no room service for cleaning the room. Of course, if extra towels or other items are needed, guest services can provide it. We did not dine (breakfast, lunch, dinner) at the hotel since our goal was to spend as much time as possible at the Disneyland resort. I believe the hotel has special events for their guests, especially on Friday evenings. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the pillows were lumpy. They appeared to be on their last leg. Finally, Disneyland fireworks can be seen from outside the hotel entrance and can be heard even from inside the rooms. I would return to this hotel on another occasion."
