We were visiting family in the area so we were at the hotel ...

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Bathroom needs upgrading desperately. This is a nice hotel but do basic stuff to keep it looking fresh. Shower wouldn’t drain, cracks in molding, mirror discolored. Simple fixes to improve appearances.

The Westin Anaheim Resort
This hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the parks. The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was great! The staff members were friendly and accommodating and there is access to late night dining which is nice when you come back late from Disneyland. Definitely would stay again.
