Hey everyone this is Julia with the konkin review and today I’m at The Anaheim Hotel
at the Disneyland resort giving you an honest room tour and review.

The Anaheim Hotel has some very mixed reviews on Trip Advisor.
The biggest concern I’ve read is that some of the rooms seem to have a mold or mildew
smell.
But With an overall guest rating of 4 out of 5, this probably isn’t the case in all
the rooms.
Since it’s one of the better priced hotels that is basically right across the street
from the South Harbour Boulevard Entrance to the Disneyland Resort, we decided to check
it out for ourselves.
This hotel has 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.
Walking into the hotel we were immediately drawn in by the beautiful bar area and the
fun Mid century modern vibe of the newly renovated lobby.
then, walking to our room, we passed by the beautiful pool area and almost felt like we
were in Hawaii with all the palm trees and hibiscus plants.
When we entered the room, the first thing that hit us was the smell of mildew.
We were also very disappointed to see the rooms hadn’t been updated to match the midcentury
modern style of the rest of the hotel.
We were happy to see that each king bed had 5 pillows which is perfect for families trying
to fit more than 1 person into each bed.
But unfortunately, the beds were old, lumpy and uncomfortable.
We had to charge our phones using the outlets on the far side of each bed since there was
nowhere to charge devices on the bedside table . There was a nice desk area with a charging
station, a flat screen tv, and adequate space for all your clothing in the dresser and closet.
There is also a mini fridge that was cold, an iron and ironing board and a safe.
The hotel also provided a basic hotel style coffee maker.
There is a locked door connecting to the adjoining room which is handy for large groups.
The bathroom is a standard motel bathroom where the vanity and sink is separate from
the toilet and shower.
The hotel provides Hawaiian tropics toiletries which was a pleasant surprise.
It was also nice to see that they had an international outlet converter and a full sized hair dryer
located in the closet.
The shower and tub were an average size and condition for what we would expect for a room
that hasn’t been recently updated.
One major problem we found with the room was what appeared to be blood stains on the floor
in the grout of the bathroom tiles.
For the first category, Cleanliness & Condition, we are giving the room a 1 out of 5.
There was blood on the floor, there was a dead bug on the shelf in the closet and the
room smelled of mildew.
Next up is Comfort & Security.
Here we’ve giving a 2.
The room was quiet and the temperature was comfortable, but the air conditioner was loud
and woke me up several times at night, but the largest reason for our rating was the
very uncomfortable beds.
For In-Room Amenities we’ve given the Anaheim hotel a 3.
They provide a better than average selection for the area as some places don’t have in-room
safes or full sized hair dryers.
The Hawaiian tropics toiletries were a nice touch.
A missed opportunity was not having a proper bedside charging station.
For Value we gave them a 2 simply because for close to the same money, there are more
comfortable and cleaner rooms available in the disney area.
This leaves us with an overall room score of 2 out of 5.
I had really high hopes for this hotel and to be honest I still think they have huge
potential.
With such a great location and an amazing lobby & pool area, they have the opportunity
to make this a really funky hotel.
I would definitely consider staying here again If they were to update the rooms to address
the mildew & possible blood stains and replace their beds.
