The Residence Inn by Marriott is one of the most luxurious hotels you’ll find in the
Disneyland Good Neighbour hotel family.
Stay tuned to see why it’s one of our favourites.
Hey Everyone, this is Ben with Honest Hotel Reviews and today We’re at the residence
inn by marriott bringing you our honest hotel tour review.

Here’s how our reviews work, each hotel is graded on the same 4 categories which are
overall experience, hotel amenities, room and value so you can see how they stack up
against each other.
From the moment we walked into the hotel, it was clear that this is a premium resort.
The staff was extremely friendly, and were able to check us in quickly so we could get
up to our suite start our Disney Vacation.
We found the overall cleanliness of the entire resort speaks to the professionalism of the
staff and the high standards held by this hotel.
We always felt at home and welcome no matter where we were.
This hotel is a 15 minute walk to Disneyland.
Even though it’s not one of the closest hotels to the park, it has a great location
near the convention centre, including a Starbucks within a Block of the hotel.
The CVS is steps from the entrance of the hotel and has almost everything you’ll need
to stock up your room.
This hotel is a little oasis away from the park so for overall experience we have given
it a 4/5.
The hotel amenities are many.
No matter what they offered, it was always to a level that exceeded our expectations.
They serve one of the best breakfast buffets we’ve encountered in the Disneyland area.
For an in depth look at their offering, check out our breakfast buffet review video.
Heading upstairs, they have a large fitness centre with everything you need.
The gym was cool, clean, well ventilated and had a good variety of machines and equipment.
The rooftop pool & lounge area is amazing.
They’ve made this space perfect for families, couples and even larger groups.
They have a decent sized pool, a super fun kid’s water park, and a large hot tub.
They also have two large fire tables with outdoor couches, lounge chairs surrounding
the pool, shaded cabanas and many tables and chairs so you can set up shop when you’re
not at the park.
This really is one of the best good neighbour hotel pool spaces we’ve experienced.
Other amenities include a laundry facility, bbqs, ice machine with a filtered water dispenser,
a lobby bar and a snack shop next to the front desk.
They also have a pizza hut connected to the lobby.
For amenities we gave them a 4.5, .
We stayed in a One Bedroom king suite and we LOVED it.
The room has a great feel the moment you walk in the door.
Unlike most Disneyland area hotels, the was more impressive in real life than it was in
the photos.
The kitchen was well equipped, the living area was spacious, the bedroom was comfortable
and the ensuite bathroom had everything you needed, including one of the best showers
we have come across.
This is one of our favourite suites so it got a rating of 4.38.

Many Hotels across the street from Disneyland are often close to the same price as the Residence
Inn.
But most of those hotels are motel style buildings from Walt’s era and lack the fabulous benefits
that come along with this hotel.
The few extra minutes it takes to walk to the park is well worth it for the great rooms,
amazing pool area, breakfast buffet and proximity to CVS and other restaurants.
This hotel is definitely up there in price, but in our honest opinion, it was worth every
penny.
So we gave it a 4.5/5
This gives the Residence Inn by marriott an overall score of 4.34/5.
If this hotel is in your budget, we highly recommend you consider staying here as it’s
one of our favorites.
