Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
4.2/5109 Reviews

Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

Anaheim City Center Anaheim|0.23km from Downtown Disney District
We are DVC and bagged a room at the VGC in early August. First thing- the building and lobby and overall vibe are beautiful. The bell person who greeted us was outstanding, Sorry didn’t get his name but he’s 50s, slim guy, and extremely talkative and helpful, the true ‘Disney Difference’ type employee. Check in was a very slow and lengthy experience although the lady was very nice. Queues at 3pm. This could be speeded up. Room wasn’t obtained until just after 4. We had a disappointing outlook room, ground floor, corner, facing directly at back entrance to Californian Adventure. Security guards stood around and no real barrier for privacy so never sat on patio. However, we realised the room had some advantages in that you could be in the park in about 40 steps. Room was nice enough. Would I pay over $1000 a night for it cash? Not worth it but booked on points. They are getting so they need a refurb although still in decent shape. It was all very dark though, perhaps not helped by room position in bottom corner of hotel. Craftsman’s bar was a bit disappointing for food. It was OK quality but very, very slow at coming out. Mine was comped. The bar itself with live music is lovely though and cocktails good. Pool is beautiful but at the same time disappointing. It’s disappointing because there are not enough sun loungers. This is partly due to Disney greed, who have turned over about a third of the already too small pool area to paying cabanas. This is partly due to lack of management. They are meant to have wristbands on people, but half did not have them and half the time there were no staff on the gate to put them on. I personally witnessed at 8am a family coming in the front of the hotel who didn’t seem to be staying there (very easy to get in despite needing a key card as the gate is constantly opened onto the sidewalk) who I saw walk into the pool area, they had no card and waited for gate to open and went in. Disney can see from the reviews on Tripadvisor this pool seating issue is a major problem. They need to do something about it. If that includes removing the cabana area and taking a hit on upcharges, they need to do it. They need to get really strict on pool management and wrist bands. When you are paying this much for a hotel, not being able to get sun beds is totally unacceptable. Shame as pool itself is lovely and live music even in the day. The characters also seemed to plead daily at around 4 pm for a pool party. Gym great. The DVC team here here we’re very nice people. Obviously location is fantastic.

Hotel was very nice and staff was very helpful and friendly. The ART bus stops directly in front of the hotel making access to the parks very easy. You can also choose to walk which we did the first night but the ART bus is worth the $6 per day (or $16 for 3 day pass). Also had breakfast one morning at the restaurant which is a much better option than eating at the parks.
JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort

JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort

Anaheim City Center Anaheim|1.37km from Downtown Disney District
The hardware is worthy of five stars, and the hotel is quite new. A large bathtub and comfortable shower are especially important after a long day at Disney. The location is also very good. The rooftop bar is nice. If there are fireworks at Disneyland, you can see them. Unfortunately, there weren't any on the day I went. But the hotel service is really average, not even three stars. If you are traveling for business, it may not matter, but if you go on vacation, it will really affect your mood. Personally I feel that the price/performance ratio is not high enough. P.S.: Regarding transportation to Disney, the hotel staff (at least the one I asked) didn’t know, but Disney employees told me that there is actually a shuttle. You can see the screenshot below for details. Note that this is paid. In addition, there is a free shuttle from Disney to a certain Disney parking lot (I think it is toy story parking, if you need it, you can ask the staff at that time). It takes 6 or 7 minutes to walk from this parking lot to the hotel, compared to walking directly. Go back for 15-20 minutes.

Disneyland Hotel

Anaheim City Center Anaheim|0.25km from Downtown Disney District
We stayed in the Fantasy tower for 2 nights with 2 adults and 3 older kids. We absolutely loved everything about it. The atmosphere was just magical. Staff always super friendly and helpful. The beds were lovely and comfy and the air con was quiet. Loved that we could put all our luggage under the beds. The sleeper sofa was great because it was an extra bed without taking up precious floor space. I was very surprised how big the room actually was and I felt like they had thought of everything. Loved how close it was to the action and the pools were so beautiful. The gym was well equipped. Only thing I'd say is it probably need another food option or two to cater for all the guests. We didn't want to leave and the next hotel felt pathetic after staying here.

My husband and I snuck away for a quick trip to Disney. It happened to be the weekend that Disneyland closed down so we didn’t get to fulfill the entire trip. We opted to fly home a day early as we didn’t have much else to do in the rain, during the closures of activities. We asked one of the young men at the desk if we could check out early, and what their policy was on issuing credits for nights. (We were ok if we had to lose the last night, as it was our choice to leave early, but was curious if they had any exceptions during the pandemic time.) The first young man we spoke with told us that since we booked with another hotel site, they couldn’t do anything and to contact them. With a 4 hour wait, we were gonna just take the loss. Upon checkout the next morning, the front desk was able to edit our stay and credit us back a night, without even mentioning how we booked and told us that with all that was going on, they would handle it on their end. It did take him a few hours to get it all handled, but we did not mind at all. We appreciated the help during a time that is out of all our control. Because of this hospitality, we would stay here again. The room smelled clean, and the bed was comfortable. I wish they had more blankets and pillows offered in their rooms but not a deal breaker. The free breakfast was ok, pretty standard but the coffee was good and that is truly what matters in the morning. 😊 The location is about a 20 min walk to the park, depending on route you take. We didn’t mind but at the end of the night it felt longer, but for the price, and being just two adults, we managed. We have stayed here before and have been overall pleased both times. We would book here again on any future Disney trips.

If your going to Disneyland this hotel is perfect. Your just across from the entrance and closer than some official Disney hotels. It also has parking which I was really worried about. It was so close we could go back to the room for an hour at midday rest recharge phones and go back in. Will stay again if going to Disney. Only issue no hairdryer in the room and it can be a little noisy at night as people come back from the park.

First-class environmental facilities, the hotel is very new. But the credit card charges randomly. Since the order included breakfast for 4, why was breakfast charged again? The service attitude of the Asian female leader at breakfast is very poor. She was told that she can only eat cold food and no hot food... In fact, there is no hot food at all. It is not as good as the domestic three-star breakfast. Where does the confidence to coax come from?

Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

Anaheim City Center Anaheim|0.83km from Downtown Disney District
The hotel reservation was too hasty, too late to read the reviews, and the evaluation was high and the price was not high. In fact this hotel is an upscale car hotel. Advantages: First, the price is not high, second is very close to Disney, third is good breakfast, but people are too crowded. 4 is the hotel's service staff or warm smiles. Inadequacies: First, the three independent houses, that is, a MOTEL, the second is that the house is not large, the decoration is too old, it is not so clean and graded, and some of the evaluation of 4.6 points does not match.

Since it is a hotel within the Disney Resort, it is convenient for traveling in the Disney Run Domain! Official hotel guests enter the park one hour in advance! The advantage is that you can ride it without lining up popular attractions! Also, since I stayed for 2 nights, if I was tired at the park, I think it was good to be able to rest at the hotel. There are no amenities such as slippers, gowns and toothbrushes. Meals went to the hotel or downtown Disney or in the park. Resort price. The nearest convenience store was about 20 minutes on foot. It's a bit far ... I wanted to stay again, but the price was high for me. I went lyft from the airport to the hotel.

You can use Disneyland on foot, and the facilities were not bad. It's on the second floor, but there's no elevator, so it was difficult to carry a heavy suitcase upstairs. It was convenient to store luggage after check-out.

It’s cheap in Los Angeles, and in the distance is the bustling Disney amusement park. One hour from Universal Studios, one hour from the beach, and one hour from Hollywood. There is hot water at the front desk and there is no breakfast. Good health. Parking is free and no appointment is required. A parking permit will be provided at the front desk and will be available in the car. I give a tip of 1 yuan a day. The big bag was placed in the house and the clothes bought from Ole were not lost. But in Los Angeles, you still have to pay special attention.
