Inn by Marriott at the Disneyland Resort giving you an Honest Room Tour & Review.

I should mention there are multiple Residence Inn hotels in the Disneyland Area, this video
is for the Anaheim Resort Convention Centre location at 640 West Katella avenue,
This Good Neighbour hotel is one of the newer, more upscale hotels in the area.
The Residence Inn by Marriot offers some great amenities which we review in some of our other
videos so if you’re thinking about staying here, we encourage you to go check them out.
When we first entered the hotel room it was immediately clear that this was a higher quality
room with an excellent kitchen and a very comfortable living space, especially for longer
stays.
The room provides a complete kitchen including a full sized refrigerator with an ice maker
in the freezer, a cook top, a dishwasher, and a great selection of pots, pans, dishes
and cooking utensils.
The kitchen is topped off with a four seats so you can eat at the counter and transitions
nicely into the living area.
The sectional couch is a pull out so you can sleep an extra two people.
When I usually walk into a regular hotel room, I feel a little claustrophobic.
Having the extra living space really makes the suite a comfortable environment to spend
time in.
The King bedroom was spacious with a full sized TV and a large ensuite bathroom.
The bed was firm but comfortable, there were more than enough plugs for all your devices
and had plenty of storage for clothes in the closet and in the drawers.
The bathroom was terrific.
We had lots of space, a single vanity and a spectacular walk in shower that brought
great pressure and consistent temperature.
The bathroom included premium Paul Mitchell tea tree toiletries It also has a hair dryer,
lots of extra towels and was separated from the bedroom by a heavy duty rolling barn door.
because bathroom sounds should stay in the bathroom.
We rate each room on four categories which are, Cleanliness & condition, comfort & security,
In-room amenities and Value.
As soon as we walked into the hotel room it was clear that the room was extremely clean
and smelled fresh.
When you have a kitchen in the room there are many places that could be unclean, however
everything was spotless and the bathroom was white glove clean.
The only issue we found was that the fridge had marks and a sizeable dent on it so we’ve
given them a 4.5/5 for cleanliness & condition.
Sound can be a big issue when you're staying at a hotel at the residence inn we were finding
that we weren't hearing any noises from the surrounding rooms or in the hallway throughout
our stay.
The bed had a new mattress with soft sheets high quality pillows the ac unit was quiet
and maintained a consistent temperature.
For comfort and security, the suite scored fairly well with a few exceptions.
The biggest frustration we found with this room is When the bathroom door was closed,
the closet was open and when the closet was closed, the bathroom door had to be open.
it seems minor, but this became frustrating when both of us were trying to get ready at
the same time.
Another minor issue with the room was the very shallow drawers for your clothes.
Lastly, the bed was a little firm for our liking, however that’s just a personal preference
of ours just keep it in mind if you plan on staying here.
We felt extremely safe and comfortable in this room.
So we’ve given this category a 4/5.
When staying in a more upscale suite, we expect a higher level of in-room amenities and the
Residence Inn didn’t disappoint.
As mentioned the kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools you need to cook most meals.
Such as a toaster, microwave, cooktop, and a full-sized coffee maker.
If in-room coffee is not your style, they offer a great coffee and tea station downstairs,
plus there is a Starbucks less than a block away.
The only thing that's missing is some form of oven.
The flat screen tv’s can access many of your streaming services including Netflix
and hey, YouTube.
The closet had a safe, Iron, ironing board, extra bedding, pillows, a luggage stand and
plenty of extra hangers.
and finally The shower is one of best we’ve come across in the Disneyland area.
The only thing the room would benefit from is a speaker device to play music from your
phone.
For in-room amenities we’ve given them a 4.5/5
The Residence Inn is a more expensive hotel, but it offers excellent value.
It was great to have a full Kitchen for our stay, but the best part of the suite was that
it felt more like a home than it did a hotel.
Many similarly priced hotels don’t offer the same level of comfort, amenities and qualities
that you’ll find here, so we’ve given it a 4.5/5
This gives the One Bedroom King suite at the residence inn by Marriott an overall score
of 4.38/5.
If this hotel is in your budget, we highly recommend you consider staying here as it’s
one of our favorites.
