Top Central Hotel Reviews

Anaheim Resort Suites

8/10 Good

"Pros: staff is very pleasant. Hotel was clean all around. Rooms were clean. Pool and splash pad in great condition. Breakfast was decent. Happy hour at the bar have great prices. Cons: new system so check in was very slow. Rooms have a wet bar area with nothing else. We had to bring our own utensils and plates. The pros out number the cons and I would definitely stay here again. Note: 10-12minute walk to Toy Story park shuttle, which is another 6 minute drive"
