Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim
This is a great place overall. Lots of space, very comfortable and walkable to the parks (although not extremely close. It’s about a 15 minute walk). Was very, very disappointed, however, that the pool was closed for 6 weeks while we were there and we were not notified in advance.
