It's always a nice stay here. POINT: It's undergoing remodeling--lots of tarps and redirections. Hotels.com did not inform us of this, btw. That said, the staff is amazing--really on top of everything, trying to make sure everything's as comfortable as possible.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Alot of construction,made it stressful,but inside room fabulous!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Under Construction"
We were very disappointed with our stay at the Holiday Inn. We were visiting Disneyland and needed a hotel for the night. We arrived late and were very frustrated to see the hotel was under renovation and it was never mentioned by the representative we spoke with at Hotels.Com. Parking was full and poor in a very small underground lot. The hallways […] were torn apart and looked like a hotel that was about to be demolished. Thankfully the room was updated but the door did not close tight and the room was pretty but definitely not user friendly, especially the bathroom sink with small children.

The rooms were good but due to recent remodeling our service in our restroom was bad. The sink would hold the water and not drain it after 3-5 minutes and the smell was really bad due to back flow. We did tell maintenance and offered to move us to another room but it was too late in the night and our vacation was almost over. The pressure in our shower […] was really weak. The cleanliness was fair but it could have been better. It seemed as if they were only in to make beds and replace towels. The staff was excellent and friendly. We do family vacations often so we research for excellent hotels and yours had 4 stars and offered a lot of services but when we arrived nothing was available due to remodeling. I feel this should have been mentioned on your reviews for your hotel. We were expecting a 4 star hotel and there were 10 of us traveling and all stayed here. Very UNSATISFIED.

"service with integrity"
My wife and I took our vacation at Holiday Inn express, although it was being remodeled the staff was able to shield us from the usual remodeling horrors! My wife accidently left over $200 on our bed, house keeping came in, performed thier job to the highest standard and when we returned, there it was waiting for us. Thanks hotel.com & Thanks holiday […] Inn! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable for large families"
Even under construction the hotel was very clean and quiet. The new bathroom sink and shower were not very logical. When you washed or brushed your teeth , the water went all over the counter. There was only a shower, no bathtub, which is difficult when you have little ones. But all in all, the rooms were very nice and spacious for a six guests. Can't […] wait to stay there when the remodel is completely finished. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel is being remodeled and the rooms are beautiful. Only downside, I wish they had used some of the remodling money to sound proof the rooms. You can hear everything. If you've got earplugs, bring them.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great family hotel- walk to disneyland"
The hotel was under construction so the office was makeshift but the staff was so nice and helpful and although most of the hotel hasn't been finished yet, we got into our room and it had been re-done already! It had wood floors, beautiful fixtures and great upgrades. The shower was really nice and relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. We had […] an issue with our safe and our air unit and they fixed both immediately. It's a short walk to disneyland and was a great location surrounded by other hotels. There was a typical breakfast each morning that was simple and sufficient. We definitely recommend it and would stay there again for sure! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"What a mess"
First off. I do not consider this a "maingate" hotel. 3 blocks away. Second, it is under MAJOR renovation. From 8-6:30. Carpets aren't even in. No pool. Felt tile I was in a shanty town. No mention of this on the mobile website or hotels.com.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great deal while hotel is being renovated!!!"
The Holiday Inn Express is one of the only few hotels near Disneyland that offers free parking. Fortunately, the rates are more favorable than other nearby hotels, because it's undergoing major renovation. I think the rates will definitely go up, once they're done. The room was nicely updated with laminate flooring, contemporary furniture and fixtures, […] as well as a modern Samsung LCD TV! The only questionable update in the room is the huge wallpaper image of pecans (or maybe walnuts). I didn't feel that it offered anything to the room. If anything, it was a really big distraction. One pleasant feature about the room is that the in-wall A/C unit could be controlled electronically from a wall mounted digital thermostat, which is way better than freezing in the middle of the night, because you had to leave the A/C running. The bathroom is also nicely updated with a glass shower door instead of the typical shower curtain. The shower walls had an earthy concrete and rock fragment design. The only flaw I could point out in the bathroom was that I felt that the faucet didn't extend far enough into the sink. So, the water kept getting spilled onto the counter.

"Not as close to Disneyland Maingate"
The hotel was remodeling so it was kind of weird being in the middle of a construction. At least they should have a cheaper rate meanwhile. This hotel is not very close to Disneyland Maingate. If you try to walk it will be like a 15 minutes walking, it´s kind of dificult to do that at night with the kids tired. I preffered to move to another hotel (wich […] it was cheaper) nearer to Disneyland main entrance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice rooms thin walls...Terrible!!!"
We booked the room for a family trip to Disneyland. We were advised the day of our arrival that maintenance was being done on the property between the hours of 8:30-5. It was last minute so we figured we would be at the park so it would not be a problem. We arrived early morning Saturday and we hear noise upstairs and it sounded like people's moving […] furniture. We were so tired we all just went to sleep. The next night around 9pm we hear constant stomping and furniture moving above us. We had to call the front desk twice and heard the phone ringing because the walls were so thin and it was next door to our room. We heard doors slamming throughout the night and people talking. Our room would sometimes rattle from the stomping. The front desk called the people upstairs but it did not help. The noise upstairs kept waking our family up throughout the night. We had to call a 3rd time around 7 am the next morning and we were told by the front desk that they couldn't hear the noise and offered to move us to a new room. We called back a 4th time and finally they offered to move us to their sister property next door with no charge and they also refunded us back 1 nights stay due to the noise level. The upgraded rooms are nice but I would never stay at this property again. The walls are too thin. I have never experienced anything like that before in my life. I was extremely disappointed.

"Disney trip"
Great location. 10 min walk to Disneyland. Clean but tiny room. Needs some updates. Breakfast was meh. Overall it was a very good stay and te proximity to Disneyland definitely trumps every minor con this hotel has (and they know it!)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice walk to Disney"
Great price for the location. Hotel appears to be older hotel that was recently renovated. Good breakfast and best staff I've met in a long time. We also stayed at a more expensive hotel during this trip that didn't stack up to this Holiday Inn Express. Short walk to Mickey parking deck so you can ride the tram to theme parks. Felt safe walking back […] at night with my family. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect for Disney vacation!!"
Pros: very short walking distance to Disney gates. We walked to and from hotel to Disney twice a day with a 3 yr old and a 7mth old. Rooms was very quite and clean!!! We could see the fireworks from Disney. Hotel staff were very friendly and the lady that cleaned our room was wonderfully nice. We WILL stay here again. Also hotel was less than a block […] from some really nice restaurants. CONS: the bathroom needed to be updated a little but not to the point of keeping us from staying again.

"If only they updated"
This could be a great hotel for the money. Good size rooms, the service and breakfast is great, very convenient to Disneyland (.6 mile walk to gate), many reasonable dining options within walking distance. Parking was sufficient, the pool was small but clean and as a bonus we had a fireworks view. But oh, the rooms are sooooo outdated. Old broken mattresses, […] wallpaper peeling, behind the beds/nightstand a quarter inch of dust like it hadn't been touched in years. Overall, we had a pretty decent stay for the money - if they updated it would become our go-to place for Disneyland. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good hotel in good location."
12 min walk to Disneyland, but much better than the motels just across from Disney. Staff was pleasant and helpful, room was clean, no xtra charge for parking, and breakfast had several hot items. Only negative was the very noisy A/C.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Old and tired"
The hotel is close to Disneyland and it's nice that WiFi, Parking and Breakfast are free. However, the rooms are in serious need of updates. In our room the refrigerator was very loud and we also had a lot of noise from the street. The only way we could sleep was to turn on the air conditioner to drown out the noise. The staff was friendly and helpful […] and the breakfast was a nice perk. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great place to stay while visiting Disneyland"
We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Disneyland, but the parking garage and breakfast were a nice bonus. We had no trouble finding a spot in the underground garage, even though it was a holiday weekend. Our second morning there, the tables in the breakfast area were full when we first arrived, but by the time we had our food there was an […] open one, and the staff in the breakfast area did a great job keeping the tables cleaned. Our room overlooked the main street in front of the hotel, but we were not disturbed by any noise. The walk to Disneyland was about 15 minutes for us (in our mid-twenties). We would definitely consider staying here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. About 5 blocks to Disneyland, so walking there is fast and convenient.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Motel masquerading as a hotel"
Normally, Holiday Inns are nice and comfortable. I choose this hotel because of the price and closeness to Disneyland. This hotel very obviously used to be a motel. You can see how it was enclosed. Now, the only window to the outside faces a hallway. There aren't even blackout curtains, just a thin white curtain. When we arrived, there wasn't really […] good parking. We parked in the crowded lot behind the hotel (temporarily) and went to check in. The front service was sub par. There were three people at the front desk and the girl who checked us in had a snobbish personality. She showed us around the meger lobby area and then we went to park. Parking is underneath the hotel in a locked garage. Getting into the garage, you have to turn very sharply and very close to the wall. I was afraid I'd damage the rental car trying to pull in so I my husband had to get out and activate the gate. The room had a motel quality look and a moldy smell to it. The a/c was a floor unit that rattled loudly. The Tv was a small older model. Not like the flat screen HD tv I've come to expect in a hotel of this quality and price. The hotel was a 10 minute walk from disneyland, and a 5 min walk to multiple restaurants and a sad outdoor mall with a lot of potential. If I come back to anaheim, I won't stay at this hotel. I'd rather pay a little extra and stay at one of the disney resort inns. The walls are thin and you can hear everything. A family with children returned at midnight and we could hear them running up and down the halls screaming. The floor was vibrating with their pounding Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"holiday inn rxpress"
Its a holiday express knew it would not be to bad. But I was pleasantly surprised to find this hotel exceeded my expectations. For a three star hotel they have a five star staff. Upon check in I was greeted by SHERRY she informed me that I would not be able to check in early, but what was most impressive is she came out from behind the counter shook […] my hand, introduced her self and took the time to actually walk me through the hotel and show me the dining area and pool elevator, complete tour I have not received that kind of welcome from four and five stars hotels. I had seen her a couple times later and she was also cheerful and offered to help with out asking for help The house keeping service was always available and accommodating, very impressed Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was very good with this hotel. Customer service was excellent. Room was clean. Parking is free as well as the internet. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices.

"Best location, bargain price."
I went to the inn with little expectation, and I left impressed. The staff are friendly and helpful. For around the price I paid, it includes basketfast, Internet and parking. You can walk to Disneyland easily, and it is closer to Disney than the Disney parking lot actually. The two things to improve would be Internet is kind of slow, and the bed sheet […] could use some bleaching. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fabulous Staff - Tired Old Hotel"
My husband and I stayed here one Sunday night, planning on going to Disneyland the following day. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and gracious! They really were fabulous. The lobby was very nice - updated and clean. However, the hotel was not how it appeared online. Our room door and window opened to what used to be an outdoor hallway, now […] closed in by windows. The very bright "hall" lights stayed on all night, and shone through the dark curtain. The room, though very clean, had an odor. The floor sloped so badly, I felt dizzy while moving about the room. The A/C-heat was too loud to run, and since it was cold out, I couldn't leave the one small window open to get rid of the smell. While walking down the corridor to the elevator, it also sloped and I ended up leaning in the opposite direction. The next morning, the electricity went out, and it took the manager and assistant 20 minutes to open the gate to the garage manually - 1 inch at a time! They did it while apologizing and were gracious about it. We were unable to take advantage of the free breakfast, due to the electrical outage. All in all, a really great staff of people, working in a not-so-great environment. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent place to stay while visiting Disneyland"
I have always stayed at one of the 3 Big Disney Hotels while visiting Disneyland. I thought I would try one of the Hotels that surround the park. This was a GREAT choice. Very clean and comfortable. The managers and staff were very nice and helpful. The walk to Disneyland was about the same as the walk from the Disney Paradise Pier Hotel. The morning […] breakfast was wonderful !!! I saved hundreds of dollars on my 3 night stay when compared to the Disney properties. NO Parking Fee !!! FREE Internet !!! Most hotels in the area are charging for both.

"Holiday Inn near Disneyland"
We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a King Suite with a whirlpool tub. It wasn't a suite as in two rooms, but was good sized and had a two person whirlpool jacuzzi tub in the room. We did have a problem with the smoke detector going off twice because they were doing work on the 4th floor (we didn't hear any construction noise though which was nice) […] and our microwave broke, but they replaced it quickly for us. The breakfast in the morning wasn't amazing, but it got us going for our days at Disneyland. It is a little further than some hotels, but still a comfortable walking distance. We walked back and forth a couple times a day with my one year old to take naps and such and didn't find it a long or difficult walk with her at all. All of the staff was friendly and I would reccommend it as a nice place to stay in the area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Holiday Inn Express-Maingate, Anaheim, CA"
Would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to others! Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean, roomy, and comfortable...much nicer than some of the more "upscale" hotels I've stayed in in the past and included a MW & fridge. Breakfast offered a decent variety...more fresh fruit would've been nice, but apples were […] available in the main lobby. Saturday's breakfast was super crowded, but trays were available to take food to the room, if desired. Would've been nice if pool/hot tub area was open until 11pm. Outside and indoor parking was adequate. Easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants, Downtown Disney, Disneyland, and California Adventure. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice hotel overall. Nice beds, clean rooms. Choice of soft or firm pillows was a nice touch. We had some issues with an extremely loud air conditioner and then a mildewed one.

Wasn't at all satisfied with this hotel. When we opened the door the smell of urine hit us like a rock. The air conditioner, which hung out the window rattled and banged all night long. Not something anyone would want to deal with after a 14 hour drive to get there. To top it off the toilet wouldn't flush right and we had to wait to use the restroom […] at Disneyland. We have never had issues before with hotel chain before but I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
