Ayres Hotel Orange

Anaheim Resort

10/10 Excellent

I have stayed at the Ayres Orange multiple times over the past few years and will keep coming back! First and foremost, the hotel is in a very convenient and easy-to-find location right off the freeway. It is also far enough away from Disney that the area feels less chaotic and congested, but is still just a short ride away from the parks. The hotel is great for those wanting a more relaxed, child-adjacent Disney experience. The staff were very kind, professional, and efficient. Check in and...

I absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it/would stay again! Pros: large room options for our large party size. Wonderful, friendly staff. Quick service when we requested a baby gate, towels, trash taken out etc. great hot breakfast. Super clean, nice grounds that are well taken care of. Walkable to Disney/can catch the ART bus easily. Quiet and safe place to stay. Felt like home away from home. Cons: I’d have preferred it to be slightly closer, but it was still walkable. I also...

Came to disneyland for the first time and picked this place to stay. I was able to park my car in their parking lot at 8 am then went to disneyland. I returned at 3 pm and checked in early. The room was great, clean, water pressure was awesome. The location is also great. Only a mile away from disneyland and across the street from am/pm. Our uber was $9 from the hotel to disneyland. The only con for me was the walls are thin. You can hear people in the hallways talking, laughing, running. But...
