It's been a while since we stayed there, but I just started using this site while searching for a different hotel to stay on our next trip to Disneyland. I suspect that the experience now is the same as when we went, though, and the price premium certainly is :). We arrived a little before check-in time, but were told... more

Room 5322. The hotel was amazing. We stayed for five nights 8/3/08 to 8/8/08. Checkin was a breeze. We arrived at 11:00am and we did call ahead and preregister. Our room was not ready so we toured the hotel and had some lunch. We were able to store our bags with the bellhop which is a fantastic convenience. After lunch... more

Just returned from two nights three day stay. Hotel stay was Thursday and Friday night. Some aspects of the hotel are top notch and they provide services that no one else can. Went with two teen daughters. Front desk, bell staff very friendly and efficient. Servers were also excellent and food was good. Of course location can't be beat. Have... more

I stayed for 2 nights with a girlfriend and her two children (ages 4 and 6) and for the most part, we loved this hotel. It was worth the extra money to be so close to the park if the kids got grumpy and we needed a fast break! It's a very classy and adult hotel, but very kid and... more

We have visited Disneyland / Disneyworld before but never stayed in Disney accommodation so thought we would give it a shot. The valet service was excellent, our luggage and car were whisked away (buy guys wearing ridiculous pedal pusher trousers and silly caps). Check in was a real experience, dont miss it! We were seen by a lady called Linda... more

You can't beat this location. A private entrance to California Adventure and next door to DowntownDisnney. But that's it. You pay for a 5 star room and you get a 3 star room. Small, outdated, without enough number of lamps and the safe deposit box was the smallest I've ever seen. Service is also average and not always efficient. We... more

While the Disneyland Hotel is definitely more "Disney-ish", you just can't beat the close location of the Grand Californian! The lobby is really lovely and check-in was a snap. We received the type of room we requested (theme park view) and while our room was quite a ways away from the main lobby, it was quite close to the California... more

Being pass holders , we do receive a discount, just not enough to make it worth the price of staying here. Though after booking a room @ the org. Disneyland Hotel, we received a call a few days later. We were give a upgrade to the Grand. We had stayed her (childless) in the past. And this was our daughter's... more

We recently stayed here due to the great reviews. The travel agent we booked through didn't have this hotel in their brochure, but we requested it and they were able to book as part of our package. We are so glad we made the request - on arrival we were told that we had been upgraded to a pool view,... more

We stayed at the Grande Californian for 5 days. This is our 4th visit to Disneyland and this is one of the nicer hotels that I've stayed at in the area. Found the Foyey to be breathtaking and massive. Being right at the California Adventure entrance was definitely a plus and it was a short walk to the Disneyland entrance.... more
