Overall Rating - 3 StarsOffering modern elegance and located just south of the Disneyland Resort, the Springhill Suites - Anaheim Convention Center is a great option for families or anyone else looking for a great quality hotel without the Disneyland Resort Hotel prices. It's certainly not the least expensive option, but is definitely worth the extra money for everything it has to offer. |
Location - 3 Stars
The hotel is on the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue next to the Anaheim Convention Center. If you can't immediately picture where that is, the back side of California Adventure is just across the street. From the entrance you're just a few minutes' walk away from the main/East Gate of the Disneyland Resort where the shuttles drop off guests from area hotels.
If you're willing to take an extra walk, it only takes about 10 minutes to get to the West Gate and Downtown Disney to help avoid the overcrowded security area at the East Gate. That is totally up to you, but we tend to enter through the West and exit the East when we stay in this area of Anaheim.

Accommodations - 4 Stars
Springhill Suites are well-known for their superior quality hotel rooms and this one doesn't disappoint. It's only a few years old and every room is exactly as the name implies - a suite. There will be bed areas and living room areas which include sofa beds so you can fit even more people into a single room. Everything is super comfortable and spacious and we couldn't find anything to complain about inside our room.
For larger families, there are also room options which include bunk beds specifically for the kids!

amenities - 4 Stars
First off - there is a pool, it's just smaller and on the roof. It's plenty for your family to run around for a while, splash around and have fun, but it's not huge.
Why then the perfect rating? Normally hotels in this price range don't include breakfast, but this one does even during COVID restrictions! And it's a really good one with plenty of options for anyone's tastes. If you feel you're splurging a bit for this hotel option the breakfast can save your family quite a bit of money by having one less meal you have to plan for.
Out of all the hotels we've stayed at that advertise guest security, this is one of the few that actually does something visible so if this is something you're concerned about they don't permit anyone in the hotel unless they have a room key or are checking in/out.

Value - 3 Stars
This hotel is not cheap, but it's not going to break the bank either. Typical rates range from $220-$500 per night but during the busy season those prices can rise dramatically as rooms get booked. I still believe it packs decent value, though, because you certainly get what you pay for. Between the lovely new rooms, the great amenities and its strategic location you will get your money's worth for what you spend. Plan early and you are more likely to get a lower rate. I still highly recommend it and you won't regret it!
