Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

8/10 Good

"The bi level loft was nice for the size of our family. We also liked having a kitchen for our little one. The walk to the park is quick, safe, and easy. The room was not the cleanest. Lots of thick dust up high and on the walls. And grout looked dirty in kitchen and bathrooms. That was the only thing though that was not quite what I expected. Staff was great. Breakfast was good"
