Top Emerald Bay Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location. The shuttle service to Disneyland is an added benefit. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay!"

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hotel Lulu and couldn’t have been happier with our experience! From check-in to check-out, every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The hotel has a fun, modern vibe, and everything was exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. Our room was beautiful, spacious, and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable—we all slept so well after long days at Disneyland! Housekeeping was excellent as well. Anytime we requested service, our room was cleaned promptly and thoroughly, and we always came back to a fresh, spotless room. One of the biggest reasons we chose Hotel Lulu was the location, and it did not disappoint. It’s only a 13-minute walk to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, so we never had to worry about driving or parking. There are also plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, Walgreens, CVS, and other conveniences just steps from the hotel. My two daughters, ages 14 and 10, had the best time and absolutely loved staying here. They kept saying how much they liked the hotel, and it made our Disneyland vacation even more special. Hotel Lulu offers incredible value for the price. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, stylish hotel close to Disneyland without paying Disney resort prices, this is definitely the place to stay. We will absolutely be staying here again on our next trip to Anaheim. Thank you, Hotel Lulu, for such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!"

Anaheim Resort Suites

8/10 Good

"Our family enjoyed Ed our stay at Anaheim Resort. Facilities were clean and serviceable. The only thing I thought was strange was when I was informed by staff that housekeeping only cleans rooms every other day, this process doesn’t make sense to me. As a family staying in the same suite, at minimum, we needed our towels exchanged out which was a call I needed to make after returning back to our room with unmade beds from being a Disneyland the past 15 hours. I just wanted to shower and go to bed not have to wait for housekeeping to deliver towels, half an hour later. The kids loved the pool and the waterslides, which made our stay that much more exciting when we weren’t at the amusement parks. Well, we appreciated the free breakfast. Quality of the items could’ve been slightly elevated. The eggs used were powdered eggs and they weren’t replenishing food quickly enough for the hungry tourists staying at the resort. Now I know what the expectations are, I would stay here again for the cleanliness and for the pool amenities."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"I literally stay here every time I'm in Southern California. It's become my go-to hotel. The short walk to Disneyland is hard to beat, and it's easy to get to from the freeway. The location is perfect whether I'm in town for an Angels game, a Ducks game, Disney, a car show, or just spending a day at the beach. I've stayed here many times over the years, and Motel 6 Main Gate is always my first choice."
