“Would Stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

I would stay here again, that is the easiest way to sum up the Holiday inn and suites. The top feature is that it is close to the Disneyland parking structure, in fact it is probably the easiest 3 star hotel to get to the parking garage. The rooms were clean, the staff was great and room had a flat screen.

Here are the not so great things about this hotel:
1. It says one block from Disneyland, but walking one block gets you to the edge of the Disneyland hotel parking lot. To get to the parks, i would say the the walk is 1 1/2 to 2 miles.

2. The hotel has a funky set up. Building 2 and 3 are connected to each other, and building 2 is connected to the main lobby. But the other two buildings are not connected.

3. There is really no view from any of the rooms. You have a view of the mickey and friends parking structure, the holiday inn parking lot or Building 5.

4. Ask for an odd number room in building 2, 3 or 4 it is your best chance of seeing fireworks. Avoid room 3224 it is located right next to the elevator and the laundry.

Room Tip: Rooms with odd numbers will give you the best chance of seeing fireworks.

Thank you for your comments. As an FYI there is a Disneyland entrance in Downtown Disney that is a 12 minute walk from our front door. They don't sell tickets there but if you have a pass or already have tickets or buy discounted two or 3 day passes from our front desk you can use that entrance. Otherwise, the main entrance to the park is another 5 minutes through Downtown Disney. The ART shuttle also stops at our front door and that goes to the main entrance. All day tickets are $5 or $2 for children under 9.

We do hope you come visit us the next time you are here!

“Nice hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

We recently stayed here the other night. Got good deal with Hotwire. Located behind Downtown Disney. It's a good long walk. However, the ART shuttle also makes a stop here so decided to take that. Seemed to come by pretty often going to Disneyland.

We got a room in construction area. Didn't hear anything, but that's probably because we were at Disneyland during the day. Room was nice and front desk folks were all very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and will definetely stay here again!

“This budget hotel thinks it's a resort”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

PRO: 1. Close enough to Disneyland to walk to, although is it a long walk.
2. All of the personnel that we dealt with were very friendly and helpful.
3. WiFi is free

CON: 1. The room had 2 double beds, not queens.
2. The room itself was so small that the double beds barely fit, there was about 6 inches between the side of the beds and the walls.
3. $10 dollars a night for parking
4. No lounge area for guests to sit, read the paper, and have coffee in the morning. There is a sofa and 2 chairs outside the restuarant, but it is very loud and crowded.
5. Regular room rates are very expensive. We got a deal on our room though one of the discount travel sites, but they slipped someone else's bill under our door one night and the standard rate was twice what I paid.

“Great Stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

My bf and I are locals and wanted a night out at Disney with a show at House of Blues to finish the night. We booked Holiday Inn & Suites through Priceline and it was great. The room was updated, the beds were comfortable (amazingly soft sheets) and the convenience of the $5/pp shuttle to and from Disney was awesome. Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel.
