Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Our room was in bad condition- very dusty and there was hair everywhere in the bathroom water splash stains. The AC would not cool we had to sleep with the window open and the sound of cars driving by just to sleep comfortably. The fridge did not cool and the dresser drawers kept sliding open.

Hilton Anaheim
Their system was down. We kept checking and they said we can’t do anything since systems are down. They couldn’t give me the king bed that was requested and booked at time of booking.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground
We stayed in a room with a queen size bed and bunk bed. The bunk bed was squeaky on the top. The shower didn’t get very warm at all. In addition to paying to stay at the hotel, we had to pay $25 a night to park at the hotel.
