Top California Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was sublime. The cherry was the free Sunday paper. When I left. That was like a kiss on the cheek."

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and spacious. We were out of a few items upon check in but the front desk and housekeeping staff helped us. Breakfast was great and Mario was awesome! He went around and talked to the guests and made sure we were okay or asked if we needed anything, loved that personal touch! I wish breakfast was served earlier on the weekends since we had to rush to get to the parks, but other than that it was fine. Good selection of food and multiple waffle machines were a plus. The walk to Disneyland was not too bad, it’s a few blocks but the blocks are long so keep that in mind. Took us about 15 mins. We got lucky and our room had views of the fireworks. Parking could be better since there’s not enough to park right next to your room but not a deal-breaker. Overall, enjoyed our stay — it was budget-friendly and great for families!"

Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport

8/10 Good

"Front desk is great, shuttle driver was excellent helping with the luggages and information, however the cafe closed way early than advertised 2pm even though I beg for a cup of coffee around 11:45am, they said a staff didn’t show up so they have to close, disappointed with that! But everything else was great!"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"What a great facility for families. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The ammenities are wonderful for kids, with lots of things for them to do to stay entertained. The views are gorgeous, and the bayfront rooms allow easy access to the beach at any point. We'll definitely be back with family and friends."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"We typically stay on Cannery Row at the InterContinental so this was our first at the Portola. PERFECT location for my husband and I and a gorgeous beachy room. He walked to the pier for a fishing day, and I was able to safely walk with others on a pedestrian trail on the boardwalk each morning. Alvarado Street has so many fun shops and restaurants for nighttime. My only negative was one of the mornings I went downstairs to the restaurant by myself. I was seated, then ignored for 20 minutes. Waitstaff made eye contact, but never came to my table. I ended up going to Starbucks. Other than that ideal stay."
