Recent Reviews in Southern California

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"C"

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Te stay was great and very convenient in terms of proximity to Disneyland. The shuttle service to the parks is right on the property; staff were friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is we were in a handicap accessible room which is fine but the set up of the shower and the shower curtain made the floor very wet & slippery. We had to ask for extra towels twice due to how wet the floor got. This seems hazardous for any guest staying in the room. The water sprays out and gets all over the floor. Other than that, great location & hotel."
