The Hyatt House is one of the more Clean, Convenient & Upscale Good Neighbour hotels
at the Disneyland resort.
Stick around to find out how it scores it in this Honest Hotel Review.
Hey everyone this is Julia with honest hotel reviews and today I’m at the Hyatt House
Hotel on 1800 S Harbor Blvd.
This Hotel is about a 12 minute walk to Disneyland and as one of the top rated Good Neighbour
hotels on Trip Advisor, we figured we should check it out for ourselves This video is not

Here’s how our reviews work, each hotel is graded on the same 4 categories which are
Overall Experience, Hotel Amenities, Room and Value, this way you can see how they stack
up against each other.
Before we even arrived on property, we had a positive experience.
I had booked a room with free cancellation up to 3 days prior to our trip, and a few
days before our trip began, I found a deal for one of their family suites that was a
little cheaper than the regular hotel room I had originally booked.
Without any hassle, I was able to change my reservation and save a little money.
We arrived at the hotel well before check in time and asked if we could store our luggage
and get a key to use the pool area and the wonderfully friendly lady at guest services
helped us with that right away.
She took our phone number so we would get a text when our room was ready, but that never
seems to work for us at any hotel and that was still the case here.
When it comes to location, it really doesn’t get much better than this.
It is within a 12 minute walk to Disneyland, there is a Starbucks, Blaze pizza and a Walgreens
literally steps from lobby and there is a CVS, 7/11 and lots of quick service restaurants
within a block of the hotel.
At the end of our stay, we could only rate this hotel a 3.5 out of 5 Despite their wonderful
location and great staff.
I really wish I could give this hotel a higher rating but our room wasn’t ready until well
after check in, plus the beds were super uncomfortable and the water pressure was some of the most
pitiful I have every seen…but I’ll chat about that more later in the video.
Next up is hotel amenities.
The Hyatt House has one of the nicer pool areas in Anaheim..probably in the top 25%
but that is what I would hope for from a hotel priced this high.
The pool and hot tub were a little small for the size of the hotel, but they made up for
it with tons of space on the pool deck, lots of lounge chairs, couches and umbrellas they
also had lifts for the pool and the hot tub for accessibility.
The pool was up on the second floor and overlooked the parking lot and the walgreens.
there was a shower so you can rinse off and plenty of towels they even offered a bbq grill
area which is a really nice feature.
One downfall is the restrooms are outside of the pool area so you had to make sure to
bring your room key so that you could get back in.
Their fitness centre was more than adequate and clean and was open 24/7
They provide a complimentary breakfast buffet and the quality was definitely better than
average for the area.
For a full look at what they offer, check out our Breakfast buffet video.
They also have a lobby bar and a small market beside the check in desk for food & drinks,
however, but you're probably going to find much better prices at Walgreens & CVS
We thought they offered better than average amenities for a Disneyland Good Neighbour
hotel, so we gave them a 4 out of 5
The next category is room.
We stayed in a Family Suite.
And although it’s on the higher end of the price range, it had everything we would want
a family suite to have, there's a king bed with a TV & entertainment unit on one side
of the room, and then a bunk bed with a TV & pull out couch in the other, separated by
pocket doors.
Unfortunately there were three major draw backs with this room.
First, If you tried to fill all the beds, it would feel really cramped!!!
It's probably not a problem if you mostly have little kids taking up the second half
of the room but if you're all adults it's gunna be packed.
Second, the shower in our room had the worst shower pressure I have ever seen in any room
in Anaheim.
I don’t know if this is the case in all the rooms but it was in ours so if you stay
here let me know.
My biggest complaint though is that the beds are hard as a rock.
And while I am not a fan of super firm mattresses, I know some of you are.
But even with these drawbacks, we gave the a room score of 3.94 out of 5 which is a darn
good for score in our books.

The Hyatt House is easily one of the pricier options for a Disneyland Good Neighbour Hotel,
but it offers decent value for the price.
The breakfast buffet alone can save a large family some major money, plus the convenience
of having a Walgreens at your doorstep for water and snacks is bound to save you even
more.
All in all, we gave them a 4/5 for value
This gives the Hyatt House an overall score of 3.86/5.
Honestly, This isn’t our favourite hotel in this price range and because of the beds,
I don’t know that I would stay here again myself, but it’s definitely better than
most of the Disneyland Good Neighbour Hotels, but as a whole, it really is a good option
if you want a more premium hotel within walking distance to the park.
