Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I really enjoyed my stay at the Sheraton Anaheim Resort. The hotel was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the location was very convenient, especially for visiting Disneyland. The staff was friendly and helpful, and overall, we had a great experience. The only thing I didn’t like was that Wi-Fi costs an additional $10 per day. I feel that Wi-Fi should be complimentary, especially at a hotel like this. Other than the Wi-Fi fee, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely consider staying here again!"
