bridge suites anaheim at the park located at 1050 west fall road this extended stay hotel is part of

google classifies the stay bridge suites as an unassuming hotel close to the disneyland resort
and i couldn't have said it better myself while nothing really stood out to us as being amazing
we also have very few negative things to say about this place
and that kind of says a lot if you consider some of the places we've stayed around here
ben and i arrived here after spending two nights at a hotel that was twice as expensive but half
as clean so we were quite happy with our stay we arrived around noon which was a few hours before
check-in so it was no surprise that our room wasn't ready but the staff was welcoming and
engaging and stowed our luggage for us so we could head to the park for a day of fun
one downfall of this hotel is its location there really isn't anything within a five-minute walk
of the hotel other than a gas station and other hotels while a straight walk to disneyland would
clock in at over 20 minutes one saving grace of the location is this hotel backs on to the
mickey and friends parking structure so you're really only about a seven to ten minute walk
from the tram that takes you into downtown disney when it's operating that is i should mention we
stayed at this hotel prior to the pandemic so make sure you check current changes at both the hotel
and disneyland since a lot has changed and will continue to change as things progress
for example at the time that i'm filming this video the tram isn't operating and the
hotel is offering a grab-and-go breakfast rather than the typical breakfast buffet
overall we were happy with our experience it was good not bad not amazing just good
we stayed in room 435 which had a king bed and a small pullout couch for a maximum
guest capacity of three people the room felt really spacious and was quite well appointed
minus a few dings and bumps here and there which is expected it made the room feel uh let's see
lived in the room had a view of one of the cast parking lots and we could even see the back side
of galaxy's edge and according to the staff we would be able to see the fireworks at night
the bed was clean and comfortable and they even had labels on the pillows indicating
if they were soft or firm which i thought was a really great touch
but there was only one plug at each bedside for charging your devices
being an extended stay hotel it was nice that they had a sitting area
and a desk and of course a full-sized kitchen
we were really impressed with the quality of the kitchen for the price we paid
there was a dishwasher microwave toaster dual element stove top and a sink with dish soap
and dish towels there was a set of three for all dishes cups and glasses and we had a good
amount of cookware and utensils everything in the kitchen seemed great until we opened the fridge
it had been turned off we're assuming to save energy between guests so our fridge was turned
off and that means it's hot on the inside and it stinks mildewy heated mildew yeah gross thankfully
we were only staying here for one night and didn't need the fridge but that was definitely a big flaw
the bathroom was clean but had minimal toiletries it did have adequate towels
however and a full-sized hair dryer which is important to me and good water pressure
other in-room amenities included a safe luggage stand
iron ironing board extra bedding for the pull-out couch and a laundry basket overall
the room was pretty darn comfortable we just wish the fridge hadn't stunk
similar to everything else with this hotel the stay bridge suites was good when it came
to all their amenities they had a large seating area for their breakfast buffet and social hour
ben and i gave mixed review on their breakfast offerings
some things were great but the eggs were kinda gross
still there was more than enough to get you going in the mornings
of course they had the standard coffee and juices but they even had a pop machine
in addition to breakfast they offer a complimentary evening social hour on
select weeknights this was actually a really nice touch as many places
don't have this they offered wine beer cookies a hot appetizer plus a salad bar
the pool was small but looked clean however it had no towels or padding on the pool chairs i'm
sure however if we'd asked they would have gotten towels for us promptly i would say
i wouldn't stay here for the pool but it looks like a fun place for the kids to splash around
beside the pool there was a little courtyard with two barbecues and some couches their business
center was made up of one computer and printer and their fitness center was clean and adequate
they also have a laundry facility on site and a small pantry with some drinks
snacks and essentials available for purchase
in my opinion this hotel has done a really good job at pricing themselves
even though we had an issue with the fridge and we weren't too keen on a few of the hot
items they offered at breakfast this is a budget-friendly hotel and they definitely
exceeded our expectations in terms of what we thought we'd get for the price
at the end of the day we gave the staybridge suites anaheim at the park a 3.5
out of 5. sure this isn't really the hotel for ben and i but don't rule this place out just yet
ben and i love being able to walk to a variety of restaurants from our hotel
we also love a good pool area but if you're traveling with a family and looking for a way
to save some cash on your next disney trip i would definitely consider this an option
other than the fridge it was clean it was spacious and the beds were super comfy plus
imagine how much money you could save making use of that full kitchen their hot breakfast
and their afternoon social we post reviews of the disneyland area hotels and we'd love your support
