Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Anaheim by IHG

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Anaheim by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"A 15min walk to Disneyland depending on how tired you are haha. Great atmosphere with a staff that understands they typically have the Disney guest. We were allowed to pre-check in which let me keep my car and belongings on property so my party and I could then spend the day at Disneyland until we were ready to get our room. Room was comfortable and clean. Personally I wish there was better lighting in the main room not just the bathroom and washroom areas. Thermostat was great with a STRONG AC unit. Mini fridge in the room was perfect for storing drinks and snacks. Oh! My FAVORITE thing about this hotel is the little shop in the lobby that offers not just food and drinks but things like Benadryl which I forgot to pack with me."
