Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I've stayed here several times with my family when we've come to Disneyland. It's super close and the free shuttle to and from the parks is great! Plenty of space in the rooms and love that it has a mini fridge in-room. The grounds are kept clean and lobby area smells nice also. Kids enjoyed their arcade room."
