We have stayed at the desert Inn and Suites in Anaheim for 4 years and have always been pleased. The rooms are clean and comfortable The proximity to Disneyland could not be better. The staff was polite. The parking is a bit of a nightmare but this is a small thing. We had most of out family with us which totaled 10 and our request for rooms together was taken care of without a problem. If you are a 5 star person this will not be "your" place to stay but you will be missing out on a very nice place with a great location.

The room was clean enough and the staff was friendly and helpful. I think it was a good deal at $59 for our January stay, however, I think more than $89 or so for peak season price is too much for what you get. It's a good motel if you are on a budget and you get what you would expect at the price, but it is clean enough and that is what counts at this price range. I'll probably stay here again but only during the off season with lower prices because of the very close proximity to Disneyland, it is actually closer to the park than the Disneyland Hotel and the Paradise Pier Hotel, perfect for walking, even with small children. Great to have a Denny’s right next door and Mc Donald’s is close as well. In the peak season, I will stay somewhere nicer for the same price or less. Room is spacious enough to have a pack and play (porta crib). Ask to stay on the top floor to avoid stompers from above. There is an elevator so it would be ok for strollers. I didn't have kids with me, but I do have kids so I naturally think of these things!

As close as you can get to Disneyland but this hotel is only just ok. Breakfast was nothing more than adaquate and I had to run the water in the tub wide open for 10 minutes before it got hot enough for a shower. Price was reasonable but breakfast didn't start until 7:30.

My family of nine stayed at Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites in the middle of January. We got two parlor A suites that had a connecting door. It worked out really well. The rooms have two queen beds in the room and a sofa bed in the front room. There is a door that separates the front room from the bedroom area. We had 4 tv's between the two rooms. One in each front room and one in the bedrooms. Everyone could pretty much watch whatever they wanted. When we checked in, the people at the front desk were really nice. Check in and checking out was a breeze. I don't think I've ever had it that easy before. The hotel is right across the street from Disneyland which is great. We were on the 4th floor and never heard anything above us. I don't know if there just wasn't anyone above us or if it was just quiet. The kids went swimming and sat in the hot tub. They said the hot tub wasn't warm enough. The breakfast in the morning was pretty pathetic. I've certainly had better, but it fed us. They had apples, oranges, danishes, toast, generic Cheerios and Corn Flakes, milk, orange juice and apple juice. Hotels seem to be going towards the big good breakfasts and this hotel just hasn't caught on yet. The breakfast room is really small too. As for the beds, they were really hard. I did ok, but my sister and her husband had to sleep on the two couches in the front rooms which usually made out into a bed, but they slept on the couch because it was softer. One of the front rooms had a musty smell in it. There was a laundry room and my sister used it. I don't know how many washer and dryers were there, but it was nice to have. The bathrooms were ok. The sink was on the outside of the bathroom which I really like so people can use the sink while other people are in the bathroom. The tub in both bathrooms drained slow. The shampoo that was free was not that great at all. It was really runny. They need to find another brand to use. Also, all you get in the room for free amenities is the shampoo and soap. What was great though was they had enough towels, wash clothes and hand towels for six people. Loved that! The rooms had a microwave and refrigerator which we used a lot. The lighting in the room was good except you had to walk over to the light and push the button. They really need to get light switches installed. The heating/air conditioning unit in my sister's room sounded horrible the first night and she said something to the front desk. They put a brand new unit in the next day. Very impressive. One of the bummer things about being on the 4th floor, meant that you usually need to take the elevator. The elevator was extremely slow. It was always quicker to take the stairs. They have a viewing deck on the roof where you can watch the Disneyland fireworks at night. That was nice. The rooms have shutters on them instead of blinds which I liked. If you stay here and aren't driving, make sure you don't get charged for parking. We made sure we told them we didn't have a car and we didn't get charged. Overall, the room was very inexpensive for us and with being directly across the street from Disneyland is huge. There were certainly flaws, but I will probably stay here again.
