Stayed in a 6th floor club level theme park view room. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Rooms comfortable, quiet and dark at night. Veranda Lounge was heavenly. Real champagne, nice wine offerings. Plenty for adults and kids. Not a meal replacement though. Would love for them to add a little protein like scrambled eggs or something hot in the mornings. We had a wonderful stay over Memorial weekend. Can’t wait to go back!

Stay here for the location! This hotel is expensive but you just cannot beat being inside DCA and only a few minutes' walk from Disneyland. The room has a balcony so you can have fresh air. We had some misunderstandings with housekeeping and they kept waking us up during naptime. We were told we should make a specific request not to be disturbed in the afternoon when we check in and be sure to put out the Do Not Disturb. We had lots of trouble with the WiFi and couldn't stream to the TV. I sure hope Disney invests in their tech since it is such an integral part of the experience. As far as noise, it really was pretty quiet and we were right next to where the monorail goes through. Honestly, the location beats any problems and I don't want to stay anywhere else.

I would never recommend this hotel. I have traveled and I experienced hotels at this price and this is NOT WORTH IT! Bring ypur kids to the park to be disappointed, LONG lines and very very small print! Pay premiums to be charged more for true premium lol Pay extra for lightning passes that are LIMITED but no one tells you! Singl mom, 2 girls, DISAPPOINTED ! I thought it was a great idea to stay here but NOT worth the price! Run away!!! Disney lifetime fan, heartbroken

We had the opportunity to stay in both a 2 bedroom and 1 bedroom. Both have a full sized kitchen. 3 bathrooms in the 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms in the 1 bedroom. Very impressive DVC room. Best thing is it has it's own entrance to California adventure and to Downtown Disney. This would be the one I'd recommend out of the 3 Disneyland resorts.

I thought I was done w Disney but my teen talked me into going one more time to see the Avengers campus. So I booked GC for the proximity and a club level room for the snacks. Food & beverages in the Verandah were really tasty and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable but the little girl in the next room screamed a wake-up call each morning at 0600. Dislike. But, not the hotel's fault. Very expensive, not a good value but I suppose it's priced to meet the demand, and it was quite full.

No Wi-Fi, front desk not helpful in fixing Wi-Fi issue, it takes more than 10 minutes to get hot water in shower especially in the morning. I wont recommend this hotel. It’s old and not worth it. Only advantage in the location.

Beautiful hotel. Has all amenities and access to park or Downtown Disney. Valet park but don’t use the bell service in the afternoon, 1 hour wait for your bags when kids are dying to get to the pool! Take your own bags. Hotel is clean and comfy. Roomy for 5 of us.

Location: You can’t get a better location than at the Grand Californian Hotel. That is the biggest selling point and you will definitely pay a high price for it. Service: Workers are very friendly and quick to respond to service requests. Valet or self park for a high price. Must use a bell hop to borrow a luggage cart. Room: Room was similar to an outdated motel room. Furniture design was outdated. AC was not functional and blew out hot air. No complimentary water bottles. No water pitchers the lobby. No USB ports. No power outlets next to the bed. These are standard expectations for even the cheapest hotels I’ve stayed in this century. On-site perks: Guests only have access to the park 30 minutes ahead of people not staying on-site. Conclusions: Unless you want to pay a premium for a staying on-site, save yourself hundreds of dollars by staying at the hotels just outside of the park a few hundred feet away. This hotel needs major room renovations and a technology update that most other hotels offer as standard for less than half the price.…

Overall the room was great, location is so convenient. The front desk staff was so awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The button that you gave my daughter acknowledging her upcoming college graduation is such a cool thing, almost all of the staff congratulated her both in the hotel and in the parks. Since it rained during our stay, having the guest laundry was such a blessing. All in all, we had a great time and would return. Just a couple of hiccups that may be worth mentioning. I was disappointed that there isn't a business center anymore that you don't help guests with mailing out packages, even when the package is pre-paid for. I used this service in my last stay and it was so helpful to mail back items home to leave room in our suitcases for more. We were told that we needed to go to the local post office ourselves. Another disappointment was the service of having our purchases sent to our room, during our last stay it was such a wonderful and convenient service, that was one of the reasons for choosing a Disney hotel. But when I went to the sundry store, the 2 cashiers barked at me saying, what did you purchase!?!? Because both my daughter and myself purchased items and used the service, I only knew what I purchased, not what she did, she shoved the receipt back in my face and said "well, what is this?" When I said I didn't know, she took back the receipts and stormed off. The other cashier then proceeded to tell me the whole process of how it worked, that they had 2 big bins stuffed with items that people purchased and the system of identifying items was so difficult and they get so many bags and it was going to take a long time to go through all the bags and I just had to wait. I didn't respond back to either cashiers but was thinking, how is this my issue and why am I getting a dressing down from them. I only had to wait about 10 minutes before she returned with my items so I guess it wasn't as bad as she made it out to be or she got lucky. I was really disappointed to be treated this way, they basically made me feel like I was being scolded for using the service. I was really shocked. …
