if i could compare this hotel to any disney character sleepy of snow white and the seven
dwarfs is the one that comes to mind even though it's not an old hotel it feels a little tired not
only that but our beds were so hard we left this place feeling pretty sleepy ourselves
but it certainly wasn't all bad just like sleepy there are some things that we really
loved about this place first the staff was absolutely wonderful the lovely lady who
checked us in even offered that we go enjoy the hot breakfast that was still being served
i mean how awesome is that disneyland is over a 20-minute walk from the hotel which would
normally knock them down a couple points but the toy story parking lot is conveniently located
right next door so you can stroll over and use the shuttles to help save your feet
this hotel has a lot going for it honestly if it wasn't for a couple negative things in our room
and not getting a good night's sleep this place could have earned top marks at the
end of the day ben and i gave it a super solid 4 out of 5 for overall experience
the homewood suites by hilton has some amazing amenities really geared towards family fun
the pool area has well a pool a hot tub and a splash pad for the kids
there are lots of cheers and tables and it even has three barbecue grills
with an arcade basketball court and a little putting green you could have
a great time in the afternoons here with the family playing in the water
cooking hot dogs and just taking a break from the crowds in the heat of the day at the parks
as i mentioned before there is that daily hot breakfast
when we filmed there was a full-on breakfast buffet but as we know things are changing
regularly so just check with the hotel directly to find out what they're serving
we can easily say this hotel served up one of the best breakfast buffets in the area
one thing i look for in a good breakfast buffet are good scrambled eggs well they
weren't fantastic here they more than made up for it first off they had that coveted pog juice
usually places offer either pancakes or waffles but here they had both
and in addition to greater than standard offerings they had tortillas refried beans
guacamole and spanish rice so you could make a delicious breakfast burrito
there is a well-equipped gym but according to ben
it was hot and humid in there extremely hot and humid in here
be hard to work out in here looks nice though
some other amenities they offered were a laundry room a couple computers available for guests
and some food and sundries available to purchase next to the front desk
we were so impressed by the quality of their hotel amenities we gave them a 4.5 out of five
we booked a king studio room with a full kitchen and were given a ground level room
sometimes ground level rooms make me a little iffy because they feel a little less secure but
that wasn't the case here this studio includes a bed a sitting area with a pull-out couch
the bathroom a desk area and a small but well-stocked kitchen
this room has a maximum occupancy of four people when we first entered the room we were impressed
with the size and spaciousness but as we started filming and looking a little more
closely we found three things that were less than ideal one the couch looked kind of old and gross
two there were multiple bugs on the windowsill making us question how thoroughly these rooms are
cleaned and three there were some pretty obvious stains on the bedspread stains on the sheet
somewhere right there but they did do an elephant the king bed was large and had great pillows but
the bed itself was very uncomfortable not only was it quite hard but it felt quite
old on the plus side the bad side tables had lots of places for charging devices and one
big thing you never see anywhere is they actually had an overhead fan which was a really nice touch
beside the bed the restroom is separated into two rooms one room has the vanity and sink with
neutrogena toiletries and a closet with an iron ironing board luggage stand safe and extra bedding
the second room has a shower towels and the toilet
even though there were parts of this room that felt dirty the bathroom was definitely clean
the bed and the sitting area share a tv the sitting area also had a coffee table
with two leather stools that slide out from under the table for additional seating
beside the sitting area there was a desk with lots of plugs for your devices
and last but certainly not least is the kitchen area
this was probably my favorite part of the room it was really well stocked it had a full-sized fridge
dishwasher microwave decent sized sink with a good amount of dish soap
a two burner stove top and tons and tons of cookware dishes and utensils
i was definitely a little disappointed with the room given how highly this hotel
is ranked on tripadvisor and how so many large travel agencies give top marks to this hotel
don't get me wrong there are so many positives about this place in general that i need my room
to be clean and have a decent bed and the home wood suites by hilton left us a little let down
so we gave them a 3 out of 5 in the room category moving on to value there aren't too
many hotels with full kitchens at the disneyland resort and when you include the daily breakfast
there is some major cash that can be saved especially if you can snag a deal and you're
here with your family in one of the larger rooms even though there is so much this hotel has to
offer we could only give them a 3.5 out of 5 in this category because no matter how you slice it
we just couldn't get over the terrible beds and the gross couch and those dead bugs in our room
this gives the homewood suites by hilton anaheim resort convention center hotel
an overall score of 3.75 out of 5. this hotel could easily have been one of our top picks
but the room is really what brought it down when i look at recent reviews on google and tripadvisor
there are some really mixed feelings as well some rated extremely high others had a similar
experience to ben and i where the room was just not adequately cleaned but it's still been given
a guest rating of 4.5 out of 5 on most hotel review platforms so if you don't mind a firm
uncomfortable bed and you pick this hotel just don't be afraid to go back to the front desk
and ask for a different room if it's not clean if you're looking for other hotels in the disneyland
