    Great Location ~ Great Amenities ~ Loved Our Stay!!
    My kids (14 and 12) and I stayed here for 5 days over Spring Break. Check-in was quick and efficient and the woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed in a regular room (the least expensive room category) and there was plenty of room for the three of us and our luggage. We each had our own sleeping space, with two queen beds and the couch. The bathroom was also spacious. Housekeeping did a great job of making sure the room was very clean and it was always serviced by the time we came back from the parks to take an afternoon break. The hotel and rooms are not luxurious (don't expect Four Seasons quality), but they are nice enough and you are definitely paying for the proximity to Disneyland and the Disney theme of the hotel. Since I was traveling solo with my kids on this trip, personal safety was a primary concern and I always felt very safe not only in the hotel, but walking to and from the parks, even in the dark, at night when they closed. Disney security is present and visible (very much appreciated!!) and it seemed like only hotel guests were using the walkway back to the hotel. My able-bodied kids and I didn't think the walk was long at all (5 minutes tops to the security gate into Downtown Disney - go out the back door of the hotel and down the pedestrian only path) and coming from Chicagoland, it was wonderful to be out in the warm weather and sunshine. The security line was never more than a couple of minutes wait time, which was awesome and a huge advantage to staying on this side of the resort. We also enjoyed walking through Downtown Disney each time. Every day they were making a different caramel apple at Marceline's Confectionery, which was fun and interesting to watch for a few minutes. We were in the parks for 4 days and took an afternoon swim break each day. It was so convenient to walk back to the hotel and relax and I'm so glad I didn't pick a hotel on Harbor Boulevard (I had debated it for the savings...). The pool was relatively small, but didn't seem overcrowded and we always found chairs. The water was too cold for me, but my kids enjoyed themselves. People seemed to be coming and going and not spending the whole day camped out at the pool. My one complaint would be with the elevator situation. At certain points, we waited for a very long time to get an elevator. Finally, we used the Disneyland Express to travel back to LAX. I really liked this bus service and it only stopped at the Disneyland Hotel and Grand Californian before heading to the airport. We took an Uber Luxury to Anaheim and I much preferred the bus. Overall, we had a fabulous vacation and I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again!

    Great hotel in Disneyland!
    I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and the service we received at Paradise Pier! We booked thru Disney Travel which I highly recommend as we received extra perks for booking through them and the price was very comparable to the Grand Legacy which we've stayed at before and is across the street from Disneyland. Staying at Paradise Pier allowed us to gain access to both parks at 7am each day rather than only having one day of "Magic Morning". This was really beneficial at Christmas as the parks were very busy. The bedding and beds were really comfortable, the housekeeping was excellent and the front counter check-in was great as the lady changed our room to allow us a view of the World of Color from our room. The only strange thing is their elevators are extremely small but they do have 4 of them so we never waited long. We will definitely stay at Paradise Pier again. We tried a few Character breakfasts and the Storyteller Cafe was overpriced for the food and atmosphere. The Plaza was expensive but the atmosphere, characters and food were excellent. The best value for a great breakfast is the Carnation Cafe on Main Street (no characters but great food for a very reasonable price). Definitely get a Max Pass as that is far superior to the Fast Pass and we only waited in 2 lines all 4 days of our visit and two of those days were at Max Capacity.

    Expensive but with many Disney touches
    We had a group of 5 stay in a room which comes with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. It was surprisingly not too cramped and we loved all the mickeys throughout the room and despite the age of the hotel, we liked the decor more than Disneyland hotel which was a few minutes/blocks closer to downtown Disney and the parks. We stayed here for the early entry which was worth it for the time savings in Disneyland park and getting to the star wars ride as soon as star wars land opened but the room did cost about 3x any non-Disney hotel for the holiday season. That said, it was still cheaper than Disneyland hotel and the 5 person max occupancy was nice. We weren't huge fans of the character dining here as the breakfast food and service wasn't the best but our daughter loved meeting donald, daisy, minnie and others.

This was an unexpected urgent stay for us, so we didn’t do research and just booked. But $450 for a weekday during the school year was a high price for a motel-like experience. Bed was comfortable, but bathroom was barebones. No on-site restaurant or shopping. For $150 more you might as well stay at Grand Californian that is luxurious and better amenities & location. The building is old and getting renovated with a Pixar theme. The pool area is nice and it’s a 10 minute walk to Disneyland entrance. $35 self parking garage is next door. The staff are super nice and professional as usual for Disney. Would not stay again.

We stayed during the Paradise to Pixar transition. This hotel was wonderful. The pool wasn’t operational so lifeguards were on standby to take us over Ty the other hotel to use the pool. The new gift shop was super cute. We had a view of the water show and it was lovely. The rooms were nicely appointed and they were clean. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The easy access to California Adventure is a great perk! We would definitely stay again!

I normally love this hotel but this past visit was truly whatever. When we checked in we were told the pool was not open but we could use the Disneyland Hotel pool. Great! DLH has a wonderful pool. The next day we were told “our” pool was open but we could still use the DLH pool. So we went to our brand new pool and it was underwhelming. Good for tiny kids though. Slide was not open so we walked over to DLH. When we arrived we were unwelcomed. Told because the PP pool was open we could no longer use their pool. I explained that the cast members were still offering their pool she rolled her eyes and said “ok for today, but don’t try this tomorrow.” Laughable customer service. The beds at PP are great. Normally I like how quiet this hotel is. This time we were on a lower floor. The sound from the exterior speakers are very loud all day and all night until 10p. Frankly it’s annoying. It’s very similar to a Fremont facing room in vegas. I would never stay in a lower room again. I’m an early bird and for these prices a muffled all day/night dance party is ridiculous. I continue to like the elevator system, gift shop, and lobby areas. Of course I’ll come back, but maybe in the winter when I don’t want a pool.

Jerry at the Front Desk made this trip memorable and Magical! He greeted us every time he saw us and always engaged us in conversation related to our previous interactions. Jerry made our daughter’s 15th Birthday extra special! His character and charm are unforgettable. Thank you Jerry! The Hotel is under construction and is starting to take its new Pixar look on. We love the ease of access to the parks, and it allows us to take breaks to nap. The premium view is great and once you learn the tips and secrets you’ll appreciate the stay even more!

Stayed here for our first trip to Disneyland and it did the job! Both parks are well within walking distance from the hotel and you have full access to the Grand Californian's amenities. Although a little outdated, the hotel is clean and the staff are beyond lovely. We splurged for the Premium View to make our trip more memorable, which it did, but since it was under construction when we stayed, it would've been nice to have a small discount off the price instead of being charged the normal rate. Would definitely stay here again, especially once it has been fully refurbished!

I really wanted to stay at Grand California, but so glad we didn’t. This hotel was about half the price, but included all the perks at Grand California. Out hotel key got us into Grand California and we were also able to use the direct entrance to California Adventure. We had a character breakfast at Storytellers Cafe and then the entrance to California Adventure was just a few steps away. We also accessed Downtown Disney and Disneyland park through the Grand California. It was just a short walk across the street from Paradise Pier. We had a 4- year old and a senior with a mobility scooter in our party. There was plenty of space for the mobility scooter in our 2 queen room, which also had a trundle bed/sofa. Our room had a view of the parking lot, but that was fine.

Excellent stay! Of the 3 Disneyland resorts, Paradise Pier has always been my kids’ favorite because we love the view of California Adventure. (Yes, it’s worth the upgrade for the premium view!) I was worried with the reviews about construction, but not once were we bothered. The regular elevators are back open, and the hotel felt much less busy than in the past, so we never waited for an elevator. I believe they’ve begun renovating some of the rooms because half of floor 14 and floor 15 were closed. The new lobby is BEAUTIFUL, and we can’t wait to see what looks to be a cafe/quick service pastry area open next visit. For now, the self-serve market fit our needs, and although pricey, a few Downtown Disney restaurants will deliver free to the lobby if you don’t feel like going out. We loved the new gift shop featuring Pixar items. The pool area looks almost complete, but they still have a lot of work to do on the rest of the rooftop deck. The Pixar ball pillows on the beds are super cute, so we’re anxious to see the new rooms. As always, the cast members were stellar. We were welcomed upon arrival and given excellent service upon check-in, including double-checking where all the guest laundry options were located at the Grand. (If you need to do laundry, see a cast member at the Grand, who will give you a key card for access.) There were always several cast members greeting us and available to address any questions or concerns. Our room was serviced every day by the time we returned for afternoon breaks from the parks. As someone who has stayed at several resorts near Disneyland (on and off property), this one will continue to be our favorite because of the park view, proximity to the magic, and the incredible cast. Don’t let the construction scare you away!

We stayed in this hotel from July 8th, 2023- July, 11th, 2023 and it did not live up to the Disney brand. We booked this room to compare it to our experiences at the Disneyland hotel and Grand a Californian. The room was adequate and met our basic needs. What makes this hotel rating so low is the elevator system. We got stuck several times waiting for the elevator for over 30 minutes, missing early admission into the park twice. We were not allowed to use the stairs to get to the lobby and each time we tried wee where stopped by security. Not only did we get stuck waiting for the elevator in the morning but got stuck once waiting for it in the evening around 5pm. In order to get down to the lobby ultimately my family of four had to split up to take two separate elevators. Each time we got on a elevator we had to force ourselves into over crowded elevators really putting a damper on the entire experience. If it was known that the elevator gets congested during certain peak times that was never relayed to us by the staff. I expected the same level of accommodation and attentiveness to detail that we got from the Disneyland hotel and Grand Californian. We will never be booking here even after it is remolded unless the elevator system is fixed. Anyone with a small family who takes advantage of the early admission perk that comes with staying at a Disney property this is not the hotel for you!

Booked this room with the Disney vacation package for two nights. The price came to around 1600. It came with the room and one park a day tickets for 2 days. It was definitely not worth that much money at all. They didn’t tell us about the construction going on until a Few days before our trip. When I called To inquire she said no pool no restaurants. I asked if they were compensating for this and she said no that she can cancel it for me. After I already requested off work and had this planned for months. It was my husbands 40th birthday, and we just got married so it was also our honeymoon. The halls and room smelled musty. It has a best western/motel 6 vibe. Def not a luxury hotel. The water smelled like sewage. The drain in the shower was clogged. The beds were hard, and the construction woke us up at 7 in the morning every morning. Loud drilling sounds, as our window was right in front of the construction site! The cast members were very nice, and it’s sad that they are the ones that probably have to deal with all the complaints. So disappointed. Not worth 500 a night. They shouldn’t be allowed to book out the rooms for FULL price. And to not inform people about the construction is even worse. I’m going to post this info on every single site and social media outlet because it’s so horrible that they are ripping people off like this.
