Top Lake Forest Hotel Reviews

The Anaheim Hotel

The Anaheim Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We love staying here. Prime location to get to Disneyland. I wouldn’t do a balcony room with a partial park view in the future as the view was not quite there, the closet doors were too large to actually utilize the closet, and the bathroom was tiny. However, we love the double king room and would do that again."
