"The hotel is old and dated- nothing like the pictures. The restaurant, however, was exceptional with extremely friendly wait staff. The food was delicious and a great value. So sad for the restaurant to be affiliated with such a sub-par hotel."

"Our experience was pleasant, the hotel staff was friendly, hotel was clean and we liked the set-up."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Erin from Vancouver, Wa

"The hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Beautiful , clean rooms, nice adult pool and pretty grounds. The staff was great. We booked the room with 1 king and 1 full bed. Perfect for my husband, me and 17 year old son. Will stay again for sure."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Gary from Waddell, AZ

"The hotel was great!! It's the perfect location. You are only 5 minutes away from everything. The rooms were very clean and up to date. The staff was awesome. They do nickel and dime you for everything so be ready for that."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Mike Black from Ferndale, Washington

"Positives: The maids cleaned the room very well each day when we returned from Disney Pool was a good experience and clean Very quiet at night on the third floor Nice air conditioning that we could regulate ourselves Negatives: We had to pay daily for parking (not good) Parking was very hard to find on the property during spring break for many"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Margaret DArrigo Martin from Salinas, CA

"Trip was great!! Staff were so friendly and accommodating."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Sandy R from Alhambra, CA

"Very nice accomodations. My only negative response is the room walls are paper THIN and you can hear conversations of other guess in the next rooms; the bathroom usage and kids crying and couples arguing. I will stay there again and would highly recommend the hotel because of the cleanliness and the grounds are very tranquil. Of course I would like to stay in a section where it's mostly senior citzens."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Lynne from Madison, WI

"We loved this place - staff was outstanding and very friendly. We were upgraded to a suite and it was fantastic - our kid had his own room and tv! Our two things for them to work on: 1) upgrade all tvs in rooms to flat screens (our kid had a nice flat screen, we had an old tube tv that was fuzzy); 2) don't charge me for parking since I'm a paying guest! I do agree the walls are thin, we could hear other guests but as we were on the second floor it wasn't too bad. Beds were great and the suite was oh so big, perfect to relax in after our loooong day at Disneyland. We also ate at the Tangerine, had great service and fantastic, fresh food - dinner and a buffet breakfast. I can't say enough about the staff, everyone was so nice & helpful - our hostess remembered us from the night before and was so welcoming. Love the hotel, we will definitely be back!"

"This place is by far the worst place I ever stayed at noise small rooms water leaking in bath tub porcilin chipping off tub squeky beds all in all a poor hotel all together I will never stay here again a bad vacation"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Rachel from Alstonville, NSW

"Although located in prime position for Disneyland, looks really are deceiving. Our room was extremely small, shower was terrible, the wall paper was peeling off, and the room walls were ridiculously thin! The bed however was extremely comfortable, but even so you cant get a good night sleep with all the noise! We paid $10 a day for internet which didn't always work! The restaurant was decent which made for an easy option after long days at Disneyland! Pictures on website are nothing in comparison to what they really look like. Although a great location, we wouldn't return."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Diane from Spokane, WA

"The location is excellent for a trip to Disneyland but the accommodations were not. The room was small despite being called a suite, the carpet was worn, there were no extra blankets and the room was cold, the heat/air-conditioner unit was very loud, there was no elevator to the 2nd floor units requiring us to lug a large suitcase up stairs and parking cost $17 per night w/o a dedicated parking spot. However, the staff was friendly, the lobby was nicely appointed and the rates were reasonable. I would not stay at this hotel again."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Cari Raybourn from Anehiem, CA

"The hotel is about 15 minutes walking to Disney. You will be told on the phone that they offer a shuttle.What they dont tell you is that they do, for a fee. There are daily vehichle parking fees, about $20 a day. I had to prove thet we were supposed to get the $25 food and drink voucher. If you order room service, exoect to double or tripple the price of the food, as there are 2 fees and a delivery fee. (not alloted on the menu). Over all, I thought it was a charming hotel. The lady at the desk was a little rude. Hidden fees are everywhere with everything. When the hidden fees were totalled, we could have just stayed at one of the Disney hotels for the same amount."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Natalie Monroy from Albuquerque, New Mexico

"This hotel is great it was convenient to Disneyland with walking distance, found a short cut through the Disneyland hotel which would put us right into California land. Service was great at the hotel the restaurant was fabulous.we will stay here again. Only bad thing its the shuttle service Karmel that is used thought book it, our drivers were nice but the dispatch person was yelling at me over the phone during our pick up time...very unprofessional!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Tracy from Cheyenne, WY

"A big THANK YOU to the front desk and the housekeeping staff. This hotel was a wonderful place to stay. The front desk staff were so helpful from check in to renting a car to purchasing tickets. The housekeeping staff were wonderful. I know our room was always a mess with three kids in it, but they made it clean everyday! We felt like we were pampered from the moment we got there til the moment we left. Thank you everyone for a wonderful stay!"

"This place has paper thin walls, it was very loud being between 2 family's with 5 kids each. 15 minute walk to disney. I do not recommend anyone stay here if you like to sleep. They decided to do roof constuction at 9 am and scared us out of bed."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Rachelle Kehler from Lake Louise, Alberta

"we had an amazing time! all of the staff at the Hotel were wonderful. We also work in the hospitality industry up here and can totally appreciate the unique environment of making peoples vacations memorable. The hotel far exceeded all of our expectations and was the perfect home away from home for us! thank you so much!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Sharon Mueller from Lake Havasu City, AZ

"The hotel was clean and staff friendly. The bar was nice to sit outside and have a drink. The restaurant was great and the food was also. I would recommend this to a friend."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Adela from Washington

"We were not throughly impresssed with this hotel...the rooms seemed clean and nice at first appearance but found dated wall paper and not extremely clean. The heater/ac unit face was broken and falling off. We had trouble with one of the lamp next to the bed not working...so we checked the plug and the whole head board was resting on the plug...of course the whole head board falls off the wall...we called maintenance and they came and fixed it. Last morning there...started a shower with lukewarm water that turned into an ice cold shower at the end...no hot water that day! There is no free wireless internet...about $10/day and you must pay to use their business center also. The property and grounds are nice...but lots of construction and noise at the time we stayed. The Tangerine restaurant was pretty decent. We like the proximity to Disneyland and the bed was very confortable. Due to the problems we experienced...we would not recommend this hotel and will probably not choose this hotel in the future."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Holly Lee from Henderson, NV

"This Hotel has a great location right across from California Adventure Park. The service at this hotel was awesome! The room was very clean and spacious. The only complaint I have with this hotel was that the walls in the room are thin. You can hear the people next to you. But, other than that this hotel is great. The onsite restaruant has great service, food, and outdoor seating. I would stay here again!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Lisa from Vacaville`, Ca

"When we checked in, our toilet was clogged and it took the staff almost 30 minutes to send a guy with a plunger. The beds were hard, the place was noisy,"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Tom Remigio from Concord, CA

"Carpet is so dirty - your white socks turn black when you walk on it! Refigerator is the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel. There is no microwave. They charge for internet compared to others were it is free. Drain in tub is clogged up. Restaurant (Tangerine) is not very good for the price they charge. But the price is right and it is so close to Disneyland! Great location!"

"king bed bathroom pool spa to in ejoy so much married and honey moon how much the food cake thank you"

"Pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the room and grounds, and square footage of the room!!"

"A great stay in an upstairs king suite, would be great for a family visit to disney w/ floor space for small kids to play. Very clean and wonderful, helpful staff. I was there for 5 nights. Had a few breakfasts and a dinner there. All food was great. It was walking distance to Downtown Disney or a $6.00 cab ride. It was not new but newly remodeled. AC has heat and cool. Used the laundry and it was as clean as the room and has a patio nearby to sit and enjoy the beautiful bouganvillas and birds of paradise. There is a family pool and adult pool which I did not get to use but looked inviting."

"The Hotel was about 3 blks from Disneyland. The location is great if you don't have really little children to carry around.
The pool was nice and was heated enough for nighttime swimming.
The internet did not work well, so save your 10.00/day and don't bother.
The room was a good size, and clean. Shower was a little tight due to the metal seat, but I guess this was needed due to it being a wheelchair access room.
Staff was friendly, but could have been more informative.
Would stay again."

"Had a nice 3 day stay, hotel was very good, as prev we had a room by the stairwell and it was a bit noisy when people are trampling up and down. 10 mins to Downtown Disney and the reat of the park, easy walk. Food and Drink was excellent and superb value, staff were very friendly and nothing was too much for them, very high standards, would stay agian without hestitation."

"It was a nice hotel...but for the price for one night. You'd probably get more somewhere else."

"Staff was very professional. Rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We where close to Disneyland and Midevil Times dinner show. We had a great time and it was wonderful to come back to a clean comfy bed after our long days at Disneyland. This was our first of many stays at the Anabella Hotel. Oh and we had Breakfast at the Hotels Tangarine resturant and it was very nice, we ate outside on the patio and the waitress was very nice. :)"

"We stayed for 3 nights in a Mission Suite. 2 Adults and 2 kids. It worked out perfect! The room was spacious and really nice. My husband and I had the king bed, and my 10 year old son took the daybed in the little room and my 6 year old was on the fold out couch (which is a twin). The staff was nice and helped us right away (with towel requests, etc.). Eat at Tiffy's next door for good food that isn't too expensive. And walk to Downtown Disney through the Grand Californian. It's about 10 minutes walk."

"I had read negative reviews prior to the trip, and did get a bit nervous, but our stay was great!

The staff was fun and friendly, and the rooms were just fine. We had met another family that was staying there, and they said 'aren't the rooms small?', and we replied with 'ours is just fine!' I mean, who needs a giant room when all you're going to do there is sleep and shower? I wasn't too thrilled with the fee for parking per night. Why pay to park when you're already paying to stay there. Perhaps a parking tag showing you're a 'paying customer'.

The hotel offers a fantastic walking distance to the nearest shuttle to take you to Disneyland. Extremely convenient.

It was a great experience, and my family had a greeeeat time!"

"The room and shower were extremely small. But I can over look a tiny room because all was super clean and the staff was absolutely top notch. I would definitly stay at the Anabella again, but opt to pay more for a larger room."

"Our most recent stay at Anabella sadly ended yesterday. this is the second time we stayed at this hotel in Anaheim and would suggest it to any other visitor to the area who wants comfort, space, good food and friendly staff. Let me not forget the price, it's very good. The only slight detraction is that on both occassions some little thing in our room didn't work. Nothing that would be a trouble except for the most picky and prune faced I think. (our bathroom plug didn't work for the hairdryer, so I used the one in the hall with the closet mirror - and voila!). They are so helpful and treat you like you're family visiting, not a number. You can tell the staff are happy working there and it all creates an atmosphere that is relaxing and casual. We rented a vehicle this time and went to Universal Studios - they happily printed out driving directions and told us what times of day to avoid heavy traffic. They stored our baggage for us for the day after we checked out, arranged the shuttle pick up, put our fruit in a fridge and told us to feel free to use the pool, showers and towels,etc while we waited for our ride to the airport. Really, there's no better place to stay for convenience to Disneyland by foot or local conveniences and lots of restaurant options. I've thought about staying at other places we walked by, but I just can't take the chance of them being a disappointment after staying at the Anabella. If you decide to take my advice and stay there, please don't crowd in mid-late September - that's when we go!!!!"

"The overall experience was good. The grounds are beautiful and the room actually looked like the photo. The only down side was the noise. We were on the first floor and under the stair well. The stairs were noisy from people going up and down when they come in late. The other down side of the first floor was we could hear the upstairs people walking, running and running the bath.

I would definnately stay there again but it would be on the second floor!"

"Great location for a Disneyland visit. We could walk to ether park and Downtown Disney. "

"A couple of years ago we stayed at The Fairfield Inn nearby which was disappointing in comparison.

On this trip, there were 5 of us in our party and with that many we needed 2 rooms and we wanted something close to Disneyland but couldn't suffer the Fairfield again. The Anabella Hotel is a 10 minute easy walk to the main gate at Disneyland. The team at Anabella were always accommodating and had us only a couple of doors away. They arranged a great deal with a car rental that dropped off and picked up from the hotel - no busses.

The only negative we experienced was that the air-conditioning in our rooms was ineffective with the hot weather conditions especially at night.

The food in the restaurant was always excellent and free range; much better than eating at nearby external restaurants. Miguel, our waiter was not only entertaining but gave us invaluable tourist advice that always proved to be accurate. The level of service and nutritional free range menu means we will always choose Anabella when going to LA in future.

This was one hotel where the website shows what you actually get; this is rare at this price range."

"The Hotel was fantastic rooms where nice and big very clean. Staff where very helpful and friendly. Very close to Disneyland walking distance.

The only thing was the the service was terrible in the Tangerine Restaurant. Obviously under staffed. But you dont need to go there to eat there are plenty of other places around the hotel you can go to.

"

"You want to stay at one of the finest hotels around Disneyland? Well you'd better stay at the Annabella. It makes all the other hotels around there look like weathered shanties in comparison. The rooms are clean and the beds are amazingly comfortable. After a long day of riding rides and stuffing your face with cotton candy and ice cream, there's nothing like coming back to a clean room and comfortable bed. 10 min walk to Disney entrance and a 10 min walk to downtown Disney. There's also a restaurant and bar on site if you don't feel like leaving and swimming through masses."

"Our stay at Anabella was an absolute delight. The hotel is designed to make you feel like you are staying in Paradise! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the rooms tastefully decorated. Everything was immaculate and super comfortable. I have absolutley NO complaints. I feel like I escaped the madness of the world for the beautiful, relaxing time I spent at the Anabella.

I have traveled the world and have never encountered a more delightful hotel."

"The room was GREAT! It was spacious and super clean! I will highly recommended this hotel. The food was yummy and came complimentary with the room...big plus! Plus.. its earth friendly :) "

"Nice clean hotel located within walking distance to downtown disney"

"This was a great place to stay during the 2011 Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. It is right across the street from the park and the race course runs right by the hotel. The room was clean and the staff was great. The quiet pool was just that. The only complaint was the fee for the 2nd car to park 1 night. They charged us for 4 nights but we only had the 2nd car 1 night."

"We stayed at the Anabella for 3 nights for a little over $300 total. And it was a great investment. You are literally across the street from the amusement park and total walking distance is no more than 10mins to get to the gate. The rooms are nice enough for the price that they are offered at. The staff are nice and the restaurant is good. All in all I am completely satisfied with my stay at the Anabella and definitely would recommend it!"

"Great value! the hotel is near to Disneyland (about 10 minute walk). It is clean inside. It also have two swimming pools that provide free towels and paying foods/drinks. The fitness room is also a plus. I would definitely come back to this hotel the next time I go to Disneyland.
"

"

There were 12 of us in our family party and everyone of us were very pleased with the exceptiional service we received from arriving to departing from everyone on the staff, the rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable, the food was excellent and very reasonable, we certainly enjoyed our visit at the Annabella Hotel and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone. Thank you all for your hospitality."

"I was very impressed with this hotel!! We have stayed in several different hotels in Anaheim and this is by far the best. The only thing I would suggest is take the shuttle if you plan on doing Disneyland all day. By the time we walked to Disney, walked around Disney and then back, by the next morning we were exhausted! The concierges were amazing with helping us with direction because we had several other places we had to go during our stay. I would recommend this hotel to everyone! The pictures are not deceiving, the rooms really look like that."
