Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was great. It was like apartment style. It was very clean. Staff at the front desk were great. Staff during breakfast were awesome, especially Mario. We had a one bedroom suite with a sofa bed. It had plenty of room for the 5 of us. It had 3 closets for all of our suitcases and bags. The walk to Disneyland was about 15 minutes. The walk to The Toy Story parking lot to catch the shuttle was about 5 minutes. We could see DL fireworks from out front of the hotel. We didn’t use the pool, volleyball or basketball court. I would definitely stay here again. Price wasnt bad either. 😊"

"Great hotel! It was clean, the staff was helpful, and a good breakfast is included. The beds are comfortable. It is located right around the corner from the main gate to Disneyland, only about a 10 minute walk. There is a CVS store right across the street. The only downside is the pool area is a little small and is constantly in the shade."
