Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We usually stay right across the street from Disney with somewhere that has far fewer options for breakfast, so I was blown away at the options and variety of items that they provided each morning. Although it was a little more of a walk to and from the parks I didn’t mind it knowing I wouldn’t have to worry about finding more food after eating breakfast. The hotel rooms were clean and so was the lobby. We weren’t traveling with our young one but I know they would’ve loved the little kids corner they provide in the lobby."

"15 minute walk to Disneyland, breakfast starts at 0600 (to 0900) so you can grab some food before rope drop if you’re into that. Was def a perk for us since we’ve stayed elsewhere nearby and breakfast started too late to eat before leaving. There are three hot tubs and a pool which is great if you need a soak to relax after the parks. They also cleaned the room every day while we were gone and I loved that. Pricing was great too. Highly recommend!"

8/10 Good
"They were launching their new booking system. It was a mess. It took us 1 hour to check in. The person next to us checked in and later returned to the front desk because the room they were assigned was already occupied. A huge mess and very little help. I recommend calling ahead or expect delays if you are traveling in the coming days, as they're still getting settled with their new system."
