if seeing the incredicoaster from the comfort of your own soaker tub
isn't on your disney bucket list maybe it should be
hey everyone this is julia with honest hotel reviews and today i'm at the westin anaheim
giving you a tour of the one-bedroom king suite that i had the absolute pleasure of staying in
this video is not sponsored however i did receive a massive upgrade to get this room i was traveling
with my sibling kit and we initially booked a deluxe 2 queen room but when they found out we
were here to recreate a sibling trip from over 11 years ago and that our favorite hotel used
to be the annabella hotel we received an amazing complimentary room upgrade to a one-bedroom suite
with access to the club lounge my sibling kit and i felt so honored to have had the experience we
had at this hotel and i will share the whole thing with you in my full tour and review of the westin
anaheim resort but this video we will take a deep dive into our one bedroom suite
we stayed in room 6053 and the first thing we noticed aside from the view of the park
was how spacious calming and quiet this room was
the one-bedroom suites are made up of a parlor room and a bedroom and sleep a maximum of four
guests the parlor room includes a sitting area that has a couch that can be converted into a
bed two chairs a coffee table and a flat screen tv their tvs have access to premium channels
but you can also log in to your streaming services like netflix and youtube
the dining section of the parlor room includes a table with four chairs an espresso coffee
maker with espresso cups water bottles an ice bucket glassware some tea and a mini fridge
and they even have a bottle opener there's also a half bath in the parlor room which is wonderful to
have especially if you have four people staying here one nice touch that i loved was they even
included mouthwash in the bathrooms there were tons of places for charging your devices
and one of my favorite features of this part of the room was the light up full-length mirror for
checking those final touches and making sure your mini ears are on straight before heading out on
your adventure the bedroom on its own is larger than most hotel rooms i've stayed in in the area
it had a king bed with tons of places to charge your devices at the bedside
but it also had tons of outlets around the room there was a big flat screen tv opposite the bed
and a beautiful view of the backside of pixar pier at disney's california adventure waking up to this
view and enjoying an espresso in the mornings just made me feel like i was living my best life
between the bed and the ensuite was a fabulous set of couples closets which i loved both had
hangers shelves drawers a luggage stand and a safe while one of them held the iron and ironing board
past the closets was the large and luxurious ensuite with dual sinks a beautiful lit mirror
a lovely shower and the best part a huge freestanding soaker tub this is
definitely the place to splurge on if you're coming to the disneyland resort for a special
occasion with a significant other one of my favorite moments was realizing that
i could actually see the incredicoaster from the bathtub
seriously if you're a disney nerd like me life doesn't get much better than this
during our stay we were lucky enough to get a tour of a few different room types now many of
the rooms that have the freestanding tub won't actually have a view of outside also some rooms
will only have the shower tub combination so if the freestanding tub is something
you're looking for just make sure you really check the details of the room you're booking
let's take a deeper dive into some of the details of our stay and give a rating out of five in the
following categories cleanliness and condition comfort and security in-room amenities and value
this room was perfectly clean and in fantastic condition which is no surprise for a newer hotel
but it's amazing all the same there was not a watermark or piece of dust anywhere to be seen
my sibling who is quite knowledgeable with materials and design
kept commenting on the quality of the finishings like the hardwood floors in the living areas
and the tiles in the bathrooms the countertops the cabinets
etc the only thing i have to mention that did happen was on the last night of our stay
they have these wonderful smelling white tea body wash shampoo and conditioner by westin
but then for some reason last night one of them fell off and he made a really loud noise and
scared the life out of me adhesives and tiles in humid environments can be a tough thing to juggle
so i didn't mark them down for it but it was something i should mention
housekeeping tended to our room every day and did an amazing job of keeping our room clean
and replenishing our coffees water bottles and towels
it's a rare thing to receive a perfect score in this category because i'm really picky and my
husband's autoimmune disease and so far only the grand californian has gotten a five for
room cleanliness and condition up until today because we are giving this room a 5 out of 5.
the westin brand really focuses on wellness inspired living
and one of my favorite categories they spend tons of time on here is their focus on sleeping well
they have done their research to help you sleep as well as you can
not only have they done research to provide the best mattresses and bedding for their guests
they also look to enhance your sense of calm through design elements like their lighting and
dual pane sliding glass doors but these doors were so good i could barely hear a peep through them
but you'll notice it's relatively quiet i was going to say like how is that even possible
wow you'll notice some of the difference doesn't sound too crazy at the park right now but
but you sure notice the difference now you can hear the traffic yeah yeah if that wasn't enough
they even leave you a lavender bomb at the bedside and have a sleep well room service
menu with items meant to help you sleep now if you've watched any of my previous room tour videos
you know i am someone who loves a soft bed and a quiet room it's rare that i experience a calm
morning before going to disneyland but i slept so well here i would wake up at my first alarm
well rested this is the best i've slept at any disneyland area hotel
my sibling on the other hand had the pull out couch so i was a little concerned
and that was interesting to say the least first i have to commend the staff for doing
our beds so quickly we called them around four then went to check out the club lounge
we weren't gone for more than 40 minutes and the bed was made unfortunately it was one of those
beds that had the terrible post that sticks out right in the lower back area but we managed to
fix that by putting all the couch's cushions under the mattress then with a couple extra pillows from
my king bed kit managed to get a really good sleep except for when the neighbors in the adjoining
room were fiddling with their door late at night i'm sure they were just making sure the door was
locked which is what you should do too since we're on the topic of security as someone who
frequently travels alone i appreciate they have key card scanners in the elevators so you can
only access the floors that you're authorized to this place was so comfortable we ended up
spending more time in the room than we normally would have because it felt kind of like staying
at a spa so we gave it a 5 out of 5 making it the first hotel to earn a top score in this category
my favorite in-room amenity here was hands down the huge freestanding soaker tub
this old lady's body doesn't feel the way it used to after a long day at the park
but this bath helped my spine and feet relax so i was ready for tomorrow's adventures another
set of amenities that really made this feel like a spa was the robe and slippers
hotel coffee really stinks so it was such a nice treat to have nespresso better than any other type
of in-room coffee at the disneyland resort for sure they also left us extra nespresso pots when
we left a note requesting more since we love our coffees in the morning this room had those really
cute couples closets opposing each other the hanger rod even had a motion censored light that
would go on which was really cool the soaps and toiletries were all lovely in feel and smell and
i was happy to note that my sensitive skin wasn't irritated by it like it easily is from many other
hotel brand soaps there was a great full-sized hair dryer they even provided a scale in the room
if you dare to weigh yourself on vacation and a nice lit magnifying mirror which is a blessing
and a curse if you're not used to it mirror mirror on the wall who has the most wrinkles of them all
the toilet was through a frosted glass door so if you're not comfortable with the person you're
staying with you can always close the sliding french doors to the bathroom one part that was a
bit tricky to figure out at first was the lighting and air conditioning controls don't get me wrong
it was kind of fun checking out all the different lighting options and i love that
they help conserve energy by not letting you run the ac while the sliding doors are open but the
first night i didn't realize that my sliding door wasn't properly locked so it took me a minute to
realize why the ac wouldn't turn on while we were there we ordered some room service and while it
was tasty i have to say the restaurants here are so good that the room service paled in comparison
the one item that was notably missing would have been a microwave but i wasn't gonna knock them
down for it because that would be an unusual item to find in a triple a four diamond hotel
all in all we were thrilled with the in-room amenities here so we gave them a 4.5 out of five
you really can't beat the quality of the westin anaheim resort when i take a look at what the
grand californian is charging for its more basic rooms you could stay at the westin anaheim in one
of their standard rooms for less than half the price let's take that a step further and look
at one of their parkview larger studio rooms you could get the suite package
which includes parking and club access for more than two hundred dollars less a night
if we take the room that we stayed in which would be a parkview one-bedroom suite with one king and
one sofa bed that's when you see the praise creep up to be more than a standard room at the grand
californian on the other hand if you compare this hotel to others across the street from the park
entrance you're really paying for location i don't know that i would spend the money to stay in the
one-bedroom suite unless it was a super special occasion but i would definitely spend money on
one of their deluxe rooms or a studio suite in the end we gave this room a solid 4.5 out of 5.
this gives the parkview one-bedroom king suite an overall score of 4.75 out of 5
making it the highest rated room that we've stayed in to date this room really was an oasis away from
the busyness of the park so it's no surprise that i would highly recommend the westin anaheim
especially to those who are looking for a high-end hotel within walking distance to disneyland or who
are looking to celebrate a special occasion for a closer look at what else this hotel has to offer
