We (family of 5) were enticed to stay at the Grand by it's 5 star rating and access to Disneyland and California adventure park. Does it deserve the 5 stars? In my opinion no. I realise star rating relates to facilities but give me a break decor and service is a HUGE part of why you spend the money to stay at a 5 star rated hotel and this place has neither!! I hate to sound so negative as it is true access to Disneyland is excellent which is vital when you have young children who need a rest during the day. The management need to have a good look at their staff or even better go to Disneyland hotels in Hong Kong and see how it is done ! I would expect smiling service at the "Happiest place on earth"

Spent three nights in January using Disney Vacation Club points, mid-week. Even for points, it was expensive. Not sure what it costs in dollar value but I am sure it must be over $300 per night. For the price, you get a very well appointed standard sized room with two sinks, mini-refrigerator, and a very comfortable bed. Evening turn down service adds a nice touch. Guest self service laundry had plenty of machines. But the reason we stayed here was not the room. It's the location. This property is attached to Downtown Disney and California Adventure (with it's own entrance). The two other Disney properties are equally nice. But the location of this hotel makes it the prime location to stay at. Getting to Disneyland is simple as walking 5 minutes to the monorail located in Downtown Disney. Entrance to California Adventure is even more enticing, with it's own entrance, we never waited longer then 5 minutes, even with the morning rush. Restaurant choices are plentiful but expect resort pricing. Service is super all around. The comfort of walking to your room Mid-day after walking the theme parks is price-less. The heated swimming pool was utlized by many children, even in January. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Disneyland and will return to this particular hotel in the future.

I have been to Disneyland 3 times in the past 2 1/2 years. I thought I would 'splurge'. Not worth the money!!!! I would rather of stayed on Harbor Street at the Carousel Inn, Much nicer rooms.
The rooms here were starting to look run down. They were small. The dresser drawer wouldn't stay shut....the lights by the bed wouldn't turn off. I spent 6 days. Other than getting
in early to the park everyday, the Grand Californian Hotel was a HUGE disappointment.
Save your money and stay on Harbor Street. Its not that long of a walk into the parks.

We just returned from a 5 day holiday in Disney, Anaheim. We stayed at Grand Califronia Hotel, which is supposed to be a 5 star resort, but it's not really up to this standard. Rooms were dark and small, and the hotel safes were the size of the envelope, couldn't get my Cannon camera in, not enough width.
Location was great, the reason we booked in, but with our next visit we are looking elsewhere, so many options just accross the street.
