Top Discovery Science Center Hotel Reviews

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"This is our favorite hotel! The staff is absolutely fantastic, they are responsive and always helpful. My daughter has trouble walking and they go above and beyond to help us. The coffee is hot, fresh and delicious. The pool is relaxing. Can’t wait for next year. Best place stay!"

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Our room was amazing — was nice to have privacy between the two rooms, too. Thank you for a great stay. We stay here every time we go to Disneyland. Never disappoints. Although, we mistakenly drank the water as we thought it was complimentary. Thankful for the complimentary coffee! The 3rd floor pool, fire pit, and courts were a hit with our party, too!"

ALO Hotel by Ayres, Orange

10/10 Excellent

"Good affordable hotel"

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"check in and checking was super easy and went super smooth"

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

"Clean room"

Hilton Anaheim

8/10 Good

"Was in room 7-113 it was a great hotel and everyone was super helpful from the minute we got there. Room was clean and well done, the only complaint with the room was that we couldn’t hear the rolling of the elevators all night, but it wasn’t outrageously loud or anything. And the only other drawback is the cost of parking for people staying at the hotel is quite high. Other then that, it’s a great place to stay"

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Property is very close to di"
