Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Anaheim by IHG

8/10 Good
"Rooms were clean over all but the door handle didn’t work very well to our room or the gate outside making getting in and out difficult. Our shower water sprayed everywhere causing water to get on the floors. Staff was very helpful."

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"They deserve a great review, it’s a hidden gem for sure. Loved the size of the room, how everything actually worked including the bathroom and shower. Saw maintenance crews there every day making sure everything was working. They cleaned the room really well (there’s a barcode to leave a tip, please do this. I did for the one time we requested them). There were extra towels, a nice view and location. There is a lot of traffic noise but that isn’t a big deal for everything else you get. Parking is tight but we didn’t realize there was underground parking until after. The breakfast was well maintained, it rotated every other day. The potatoes were so good! I wish the country gravy were available the days that had them. The staff kept everything clean during breakfast, but when it says closes at 10 that means get out, not just stop serving. Most importantly I felt safe there with my family. I hope the prices stay like they were for the next time I’ll be looking to this place first."
