Grand Legacy At the Park

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all wonderful and helpful, the pool and hot tub were very nice to relax at, and the room itself was spacious and clean. Great hotel for a Disneyland trip, the walk to the entrance of the park was only about 5 minutes. Also drug stores and restaurants nearby if you need to buy things outside of the park."

"First time staying at Desert Palm Hotel, and definitely we’ll definitely be returning. Candace, for sure made us feel comfortable with her kindness. We arrived 9:30am and our room was available so she allowed an early check in. We’ve visited Disney tons of times and this stay has been by far my favorite. Our room had the King bed with full size bunk beds. The restroom fully stocked with an additional sink/mirror section for someone else to get ready."

"Amazing stay! My family and I were there celebrating my dad’s birthday and my daughter’s birthday, and the hotel made us feel so special. They surprised us with a chilled bottle of wine, a delicious chocolate cake, and two very thoughtful letters. I was so pleased and grateful for the kindness and personal touches—it made our stay 10,000 times more special! The shuttles to Disneyland were extremely helpful and convenient, and the suite was very spacious and comfortable for our whole family. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable! ❤️"
