The property has gone under renovations and they have done a good job. The hotel was a nice break in between theme parks to relax and rest.

Anaheim Resort Suites
Great visit. Only problem is we cannot bring food into the pool area unless bought from the hotel restaurant/bar, that’s just how business goes. It would also be appreciated if there is a variety of food for the breakfast buffet. Everyday was the same thing and it was getting tiring and unappetizing ...
