“Family-friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

We stayed here 2 nights in early January for our daughter's first trip to Disneyland, so we wanted something family-friendly, but not at the expense of a quiet room and good bed. We definitely chose the right hotel for that. Beds had good quality linens and were comfortable. The breakfast buffet was average, but it saved us time in the mornings and the staff were very friendly. Our second floor window faced a wall and some pipes, so nothing spectacular there. We couldn't have seen the fireworks if we'd wanted to, but we didn't mind. We did order room service (bland pizza and boring salads) one night, and I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, we were pleased with the Red Lion and would stay there again.

Thank you for reviewing our hotel. I am sorry that you did not get the view type that you expected. We do offer Premium Theme Park View Rooms when you book your stay that have views of the Disney theme parks. Also, from our pool deck, you can see the fireworks when they are on display. If you join us on Fridays and Saturdays, join us for somores from 8pm - 9pm. Thank you for your review and I hope to have you back again soon! Best regards!

“Lovely hotel, pets welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

This was a lovely hotel near Disneyland. We were able to park our car at the hotel for the day and take a shuttle or taxi to the park. The shuttle is $5/day ($2/senior) and the taxi was $5/1way. Parking at Disney is $15/day while you are already paying $14/day at the hotel.
We had a medium size dog with us at $20/day. They allow you to walk the dog in the courtyard between the buildings and in the parking lot. They don't supply doggie bags for the pick-up so be sure to bring your own.
Our hotel room fee included breakfast (ordinarily $10) which was quite good. It was buffet but included both hot and cold items.
The room was lovely and clean but the TV didn't work very well.
There is free, easy to get on wi-fi.
We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you were able to take advantage of our pet friendly rooms. Please keep in mind that we only change a one time fee of $20 for any guest who registers a pet. Also, thank you for your comments regarding doggie bags, that is something that I will bring up to the rest of our Management Team and consider.

“Great Stay :)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

We stayed at the Red Lion in November. This was our kids first trip to Disneyland. We also traveled with my parents and so when we booked we asked for adjoining rooms. The lady at the front desk said she would "make a note on our file but could not ensure we would". I expressed since we were traveling with small children this was a priority. Through my own research, I came across "Chris Allengue's" contact information *who works at the Red Lion* and informed him of my situation. He was more that accommodating and we had adjoining rooms! That made all the difference in our stay with you guys. The buffet breakfast in the morning was a great way to start the day. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Thanks again for making it such a great stay! Would stay again - and have recommended this hotel to friends and strangers :)

“Off Season Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We stayed overnight with our grandson in December 2013. Our room was clean and comfortable. Comfy beds and linens, roomy bathroom. Good amenities in the room which made it family friendly. The staff was helpful, and the location was within walking distance to the D-Parks. You have to pay for parking, but they did offer on check-out day that we could leave our car until the park closed at no extra charge.
