We go to check in and they go on to tell us our room is not ready and would be 45 minutes!!!! We had a birthday thing to get to so then telling us sorry we had a busy weekend and nothing else and to say it so non carelessly as it's not really that big of a deal is what blew my mind. Then we get into our room and the ac unit is extremely loud with all buttons basically wiped off so you have no clue what you're doing. After we got back in the evening I proceed to get into the bed and the bed collapses! We had to lift the mattress up to find out the bed deal is being held up with a piece of wood! We could not sleep well after that on top of the ac being extremely loud which needed to be turned off since we couldn't sleep and then for it to now be hot. The bathroom has no ventilation so it's extremely hot as well as the shower doors not functioning on one side at all. This was not a good stay what so ever and then when telling them about the bed at check out, again no care what so ever she goes to say oh sorry, that's it, nothing else. Like a bed collapsing is every day business. I highly recommend staying elsewhere especially because one night was not cheap for what you have to deal with.

I asked the report from the third-party but they refused it. They promised transparency on this matter but not at all.

If you're looking for a beach house rental, Skaii Homes is the place to go. I've rented 2 beach…read morehouses from them and both times were an A+ experience. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. First time I rented was in 2012 where we stayed at the W Style Beach House in Huntington Beach for my boyfriend's birthday bash. It was prime location and right next to the beach/main street. Sleeps around 6-8 people so it's definitely great for large groups. There is just so much to do from talking a stroll to the beach to bar hopping at the local bars. Another plus was the Starbucks just literally down the street! Second time around I rented the Royal Beach House, which was in September 2014 for my boyfriend's birthday again. It was an amazing 3-story house with tons of space. This time around it was a bit further from main street, but we were willing to sacrifice that for a larger place. We were blown away yet again the second time around. Will definitely be using Skaii Home's service as a yearly tradition. Be sure to check them out for your next beach house rental! You won't be disappointed.

It's no secret that the place is pricey, but you pay for the convenience that can come in clutch depending on your situation. It's a stunning hotel, andI love how it reminds me of the Ahwahnee Hotel. The place gives me a double whammy of heart-felt nostalgia feels as I grew up going to Disney and Yosemite. Overall customer service was excellent. Cast members were friendly, but the concierge goes above and beyond. I really appreciated them helping us with a scooter rental on the spot for my mom, who has a torn meniscus. During our stay, we stayed on the club level and took full advantage of The Veranda Lounge. The lounge offered food at 4 times through the day: continental breakfast, afternoon tea, "happy hour," and desserts. The snacks and unlimited beverages were worth it, and you could take them with you to the pool and to the parks. One one of the days, we spent some time at the pool around 4pm. The place seemed pack, but we quickly learned that many chairs didn't have returning occupants despite seeming to be reserved. We were able to snag 4 chairs with umbrellas. Not all chairs had umbrellas, which was unfortunate. My only complaint was that service felt very slow. Lastly, the rooms were great. Our room had 4 adults, and the space didn't feel cramped at all. The bed and pillows were comfortable to me, and I felt like I had restful nights of sleep.

It's all facade, you walk in and see the grand lobby, that's where the scam starts. Honestly most of the employees suck, they're all on their phones or look like it's the last place they want to be. I can't blame them.. The rooms and hallways are outdated and uncared for. The prices are astronomical to the point of a con job. The magic here is long gone, they play on your nostalgia to get you in and then completely rip you off. I've been to Disneyland and this hotel a few times over the years and it's gone so far downhill there's really no way I see them recovering. I will for sure not be back to this hotel or Disneyland again in its current form.

Definitely would stay here again whenever we go to Disney. It's only a nice 15min walk to downtown Disney and we even found a shortcut the Doug GardenWalk. There are so many good things about this place I have to give it a 5! It not a 6! We went to Hotel Del Coronado the next day and it's a $1000 room (will review that next) and I am telling you the reception we got at this Marriott is 10x better for sure ~ so go Marriott!

Cons-not as strong water pressure As you can see it's really hard to find a con here lol it's an amazing before July 4th week stay and we are so thankful we got to try out this beautiful place!!

I gave some time before writing this review, partially in the hopes that the hotel responded with…read moresome sort of compensation, appropriate apology, or even just to address the issues I mentioned. Quite frankly, the response I received was lazy, pointless, and missed the mark by a mile. I don't actually know if this response is from someone associated with the hotel directly or with Marriott's customer service, either way, it's a sad excuse of customer service. I stayed for two nights and immediately upon check in, the front desk attendant (a slightly taller, slim brunette with glasses) was cold, rude, and rushing me out without explaining all the details of the amenities, hotel options, credits, and so on. I took off to a local event and received a text around noon stating that my room was ready which was a better sign than the response I received earlier. Returning to the front desk, the next attendant was all alone serving one party, with 2 more behind them, myself, and 3 more after me. The hotel really needs to up the staffing, especially at the front desk. First impressions of the hotel are mixed. The exterior and even interior spaces are beautiful but the "lobby" is actually up two sets of escalators and the bottom/ground floor is pretty cold and lifeless. There is also a big leak in the valet/drop off area and of course, when I requested my car, valet attendant parks it right underneath the leak. Parking is also $68/day and no self-park option. That's just absurd. My room had a "theme park view" but that view is pretty much the backside of Cars and the building for Guardians of the Galaxy. Not much of a "view". Getting up to the rooftop bar is pretty annoying, since there is no direct elevator from the interior you are forced to walk through the garden with poor signage until you figure out which door to go through. The rooftop bar is also directly in sunlight so unless you go after sundown, expect to get a tan or even burned. The food is nothing special and pretty overpriced even for hotel standards. What also annoyed me is the Wi-Fi doesn't reach the rooftop bar. I tried both guest and public Wi-Fi, neither connected. The room itself is nice, fancy accents, and I was treated to macarons upon returning. But cleanliness and upkeep is an issue. Hairs left on the soap bottles, stains on the walls/ceilings, AC kept turning on even after I turned it off, dusty surfaces, and so on. The hair dryer was also filled with dirt/dust I ordered room service both nights and overall I enjoyed the food. The pizza was great, the gelato was creamy and tasty, the burger was really good although overcooked patty, the turkey sandwich was tasty, the regular fries were super crispy but the sweet potato fries were super soggy and cold. Not very consistent with the food. And the issues with the dining continued with breakfast. The only two staff members that were a delight were Christian and an Asian girl I forgot to get her name, They were so friendly, attentive, and kind. The rest of the staff? Horrible. The blonde hostess was the rudest and coldest of the bunch, and each morning I saw 3-5 workers just standing around chit chatting. Another shorter girl with brownish hair and highlights was also rude. I observed these issues not just with myself but towards different guests as well. Half the foods in the buffet were not labeled or mislabeled, foods that should be crispy like bacon or hash browns were kept in a covered dish which created a circulation of steam and turned everything soggy; there was a big tub of whipped cream I thought was cream cheese since it didn't make sense to have whipped cream out like that but since it was not labeled I had no clue. The floors and couch cushions were dirty with crumbs and food as well. I submitted these issues through the customer response email I received after my stay and the response meant nothing, reading: "Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay at the JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort. We are delighted to hear that you found the hotel beautiful and appreciated the friendliness of our room service team. We regret to learn that certain aspects of your experience fell below expectations. Please know that your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to using it to better understand and address areas where we can improve. Thank you again for your valuable insights and for being a Marriott Bonvoy Member. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future." As if I would stay here again when an apology wasn't even issued. As someone who has been a timeshare holder and Marriott loyalist for almost 20 years, this is not the Marriott experience I or anyone should expect to receive.

This was my first time staying at one of the three Disney hotels and while there are sooooo many…read morepositives there were a couple small annoyances that I think are worth mentioning as well. First the positive, the hotel itself has such a fun feel to it. The staff is really welcoming and you see little details of Pixar through every turn. The coffee shop was perfect for my mornings as I tend to get up before the rest of the family and love a nice coffee to warm me up. The convenience of walking to Downtown Disney was great! We loved spending our spare moments wondering around and I found so many more food options in this area. Food at hotel restaurant was kind of "meh" so having DD so close really helped. We also loved the monorail stop being so close but it seemed to often be closed which kind of made that perk not as accessible. Also loved how we could cut through the California Grand Hotel to get to California Adventure Park. -Now let's talk about the elevators which, in my opinion, weren't that bad at all! I had read so many reviews that I was legitimately scared! If used correctly the system works great. You simply push the button of the floor you want and wait by the elevator it tells you. Then hop on and enjoy the ride. The issue comes when people get tired of waiting so the continuously push their floor. This cause other elevators to also be programmed to that floor which can cause a lot of unwanted and pointless stops. I can see another flaw being if you have a wheelchair or stroller and are trying to go down to the lobby. If the elevator has too many people on it you will not be able to fit and would then have to wait and try your like again. -Ok, on your the small annoyances. The first one is the pool. While the side was great and the splash pad is nice for younger kids, the actual pool is just so small! Very surprising in sure a large and higher end hotel. Another thing is they don't offer poolside service. Not a big deal but would be a nice touch. Second is the rooms only have a shower so no bath tubs. For me this wasn't a big deal but I can see this being hard for families with young kids. Lastly, there is no room service at this hotel. After a long day at Disney we were enjoying a relaxing time I. The hotel and room service would have been really amazing. Again, I was surprised with a hotel that is a bit more higher end not offering any room service. -Overall I'd say this was a good place to stay. I would book again when they have a good deal going (we were able to stay for $1600 after tax and fees for 4 nights). I don't think I'd pay their normal rates as the small annoyances just don't make things worth that high price tag. Bonus Pro Tip- The small balconies over by the stairwells are a great place to catch the Disneyland fire show. So if you don't want to o go down to the pool deck just walk down your hallway and enjoy the show.

After reading a few reviews, I have a similar experience to share. The hotel itself is beautiful…read more It is new and well-maintained. The staff were consistently friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The walk to downtown Disney was easy as was getting through security. We enjoyed the hotel pool and my young daughter had fun on the water slide. Breakfast at Great Maple was delicious and by far one of the best meals at the hotel our entire trip. The parts that I didn't love and took away from a 4 or 5-star experience: 1. There is no room service. This surprised me as the other two Disney hotels both include this service. As a parent to a young child, early morning room service before park shenanigans has been so supportive and easeful. Given the prices, I'd expect more. I did expect more. This was disappointing. This alone is why I wouldn't come back. 2. The cafe in the hotel does open at 6AM for those who are early birds and get to park at opening. It was nice to be able to get hot water for tea or grab a latte. They have some pre-made food selections and snacks and of course, glutinous pastries. For families like ours who have food restrictions such as gluten, there wasn't much option. The pre-made frittatas were pretty awful. Would not recommend. And besides that, there aren't any protein forward/warm food options. Again, super disappointing. It's 2026. It's LA. Cmon. 3. They don't offer any drinking water/bottles in the room. Minor detail, I know. But I recall the other hotels do. So if you wanted drinking water, you had to go down to the fitness room to fill up or pay $3.80 for a small Dasani via the vending machine. Mind you, in order to use the in-room coffee/tea machine... you need drinking water to fill it up. Multi-billionaire dollar company. Complimentary water shouldn't break the bank. I feel salty about this one. 4. The elevators. Great concept. Friendly staff. Slow AF during busier hours. Literally allot extra time to get to the lobby. I personally won't go back. But it's the cheaper hotel of the three and now I get why. If you live on pastries and tap water, you Gucci.

Good Value and Cooperative, Reasonable Guests TownePlace…read moreSuites - Lake Forest, CA 9/5/26-9/7/26 Very happy with this stay. TownePlace Suites offers good value, plenty of space, convenient freeway access, and a peaceful atmosphere without feeling completely dead. The room was one of the strongest parts of the stay. It felt much more like a small apartment than a standard hotel room. There was a separate bedroom with a large bed, nightstands, lamps, storage, and its own television. Outside the bedroom was a spacious living area with a couch, work desk and chair, additional television, and enough open floor space that the room never felt cramped. The full kitchen was also genuinely useful rather than decorative. It included a large refrigerator, microwave, stove and oven, dishwasher, sink, coffee maker, cabinets, counter space, utensils, and paper towels. For a longer stay, this setup would be particularly convenient. The bathroom was another highlight. The shower had a lot of space, excellent water pressure, and simple controls. I loved the shower. One drawback, however, is that the bathroom had no air vent. So if you take a dump, it had better not stink. Breakfast was reasonable and offered plenty of choices. There was oatmeal with a large selection of toppings including granola, shredded coconut, raisins, dried banana, brown sugar, walnuts, and thin almond slices. There were also cereals, yogurt, juices, good coffee, bagels, toast, hard-boiled eggs, biscuits and gravy, and two waffle machines--one for mini waffles and another for traditional-sized waffles. Toppings included syrup and strawberry or blueberry compote. The biggest breakfast negative was the lack of meat protein. There was no bacon, sausage, or similar option, and the scrambled eggs were fairly basic. The hotel also has a nice kidney-shaped outdoor pool and a quiet, clean gym with plenty of open space, water, free weights, benches, medicine balls, and several cardio machines. I also liked the lobby's large TowneMap, which gives guests a simple visual sense of the surrounding Lake Forest area and approximately how far different areas are by walking or driving. It was a nice local touch and more useful than the usual generic lobby decoration. Check-in was fast and the staff were cool and helpful. Another thing I appreciated was the behavior of the other guests. There were quite a few families and children staying here, yet everyone was quiet, respectful, and well behaved. I never had problems with loud neighbors or disruptive guests. For EV drivers, there are approximately three slower charging stations available complimentary. What I liked most was the combination of space, freeway access, comfort, and serenity. The two negatives--the lack of a meat protein at breakfast and the bathroom having no ventilation--keep it from being absolutely perfect. 4.8/5, rounded up to 5/5. I would absolutely stay here again.

I am a Lifetime Gold Member and would say this is a good overall stay for 3 nights. I'm not…read moreincluding this in my review as Marriott cannot control who can stay at this hotel, but having been here multiple times since they opened, there are often large groups of kids sports teams who stay here on the weekend. I wish the Management staff would place placards throughout the hotel, in the elevators, etc. that quiet time is from X until X. This will hopefully encourage parents to keep better watch of their kids. Here are my thoughts and observations: [GOOD]: - Friendly staff - Rooms and property are generally clean - Fresh coffee available 30 minutes before breakfast is a nice touch - Micro market is well stocked - Full-size refrigerator is appreciated (not a small dorm-style unit) - Sturdy, comfortable oversized computer chair (for us fluffy people) - Housekeeping air freshener smells pleasant and isn't overpowering [BAD]: - Guests often leave used towels and trash bags in the hallways, making it inconvenient to pass. More frequent patrols by housekeeping could prevent this - Requested towels and washcloths with the front desk were never delivered (after several hours) - People smoking near entrances/vents needs better enforcement and/or clearer signage [UGLY]: - We're light sleepers and requested a top-floor (5th floor) room in advance. Malika told us one would be available at 4pm, but upon arrival just after 4pm, there was no record of this request and the guy who checked us in said that she had already left for the day, but would look into what happened as he is on the Mgt staff. - We ended up being placed on the 4th floor next to a loud party that lasted past midnight - Although the front desk said they would address the noise when we called around 10pm, it didn't improve--more proactive follow-up (like checking the floor) would help
