Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great stay for the money. Very good value. Parking was easy and a short walk to Disneyland. Stores and food across the street for your needs room was clean and spacious. Set up to live out of suit case so if you need a closet and hangers there isn’t any. For families or Disney this isn’t a problem for most. The breakfast set up is probably amping the best for hotel free food. My only complaint is the coffee in lobby didn’t have regular creamer all week we were there only French vanilla Check in and out were smooth and easy. All employees were friendly and helpful."
