Top Central Hotel Reviews

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoy staying at this hotel and have stayed here multiple times. We normally ride the shuttle to get to and from the park but this time around, we decided to drive. Parking was still easy to find at 10:30 pm on a Wednesday night. The rooms are a good size, staff is friendly, and the location is perfect for us."

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Every time we’ve stayed with the clementine staff are so polite and have made it a point to start remembering us. I love the hotel layout and spacious rooms. It always smells like rooms have been freshly cleaned! I love the variety of breakfast options offered each morning! I appreciate having a place that we want to come back to with our family! We recommend the hotel to everyone we know!!! We plan to come back often as we are now pass holders for Disney!"
