Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
The stay was good but we were a party of 8 with 3 rooms. I am the one that suggested your facility as I stayed there before and it was perfect. I felt bad when I was told some of my family’s rooms had very poor water pressure and the air did not work.

I booked this stay several weeks in advance, however, once I arrived to check in I was told the room is not available. Extremely inconvenient.
