When we first arrived from a 6 hour drive we were greeting with a very unfriendly and rude front desk lady. She didnt smile or greet us whatsoever just stared at the computer. We finely got to our room with which we were greeted by a huge fan "drying out the carpets". The smell in the halls were horrendous and smelled like mold. Our carpet in our room and hallways were soaking wet. It was dark, dingy and we opened our "suite' windows to a brick wall. The smell was so bad so we kindly asked to switch to a different room. We moved to another room and it was the exact same. Dark, dingy and smelled awful. We canceled our reservations after being in the hotel for 25mins and moved right down the street to an AMAZING hotel cheaper than this dump. For $1k I expect at least dry carpets to walk on. Not to mention their pool area is tiny as well as hot tub. Not worth the money. It is close to Disney but so are a million other hotels that all offer shuttel services right to the main entrance. Dont waste your time or money in this place.

I liked the cleanliness of rooms, the fridge and microwave. There was a light outside window and window coverings aren’t sufficient. The location is a bit sketchy with bus stop and 711. Breakfast wasn’t good. Very basic and not fresh.

We enjoyed how close Desert Palms was to Disneyland. Facilities were well kept and the underground parking was convenient. Also received an unexpected upgrade which was a nice bonus!

I liked that the property was a short 15min walk to DL. It’s location is close to many convenient stores and eateries. There is ample parking underground. The hotel was clean and most staff were friendly and courteous. My son and I were at the pool. One staff came to tell me that the pool is now closed, but I pointed out that it’s 9:55pm and the pool hours posted is closing is at 10pm. A little too eager are we? We’re just trying to enjoy every minute, lol. Breakfast was decent, but wish they would change it up a bit. There were sausage patties everyday of our 3 night stay. Walls are super thin, you hear all neighbors around you, even foot stomping from upstairs and cars/motorcycles outside our window. Our room was about 6 rooms away from the washer and dryer and we could hear other rumbling. All this is consistent with other reviews, so it wasn’t a surprise. I’d stay here again if there were no other options, but there are plenty to choose. Make sure to weight out the parking fees, resort fees and breakfast if offered.

This was a first time stay for my family of 6. We stayed 9 nights in a Deluxe Studio Suite and WOW was it ever spacious, room wasn’t anything fancy but no complaints from my family. Complimentary breakfast was pretty bleh, but did have lots of options that changed daily. Vehicle parking fees are absolutely insane. Me and my family would stay again as the price was right.

We chose this hotel as it's close to Disney, and it had breakfast. We've stayed at other hotels in the area, and this one ended up feeling closer, just because you didn't have to cross any main intersections to get to Disney at the light at Katella. The 7-11 is always kinda sketchy, but we never felt unsafe. We enjoy shopping at the A-Mart and supporting the family that owns that place. The breakfast was typical, but decent. Simple and quick before walking over to Disney. The kids loved the pool the night before going to Disney for a few days. There are PLENTY of dining options within walking distance if you aren't staying in the park to eat. Parking fees are a bit steep, other hotels in the area are either FREE or cheaper, so that was a bit disappointing. I liked the phone chargers you can rent from the little market in the lobby, those were extremely convenient to check out and take to the park, incredibly lightweight and only $5. The staff were very friendly. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, the water pressure in the shower was SO NICE. It was quiet, we didn't hear anyone in the hall or in the rooms next to us. The only complaint is that we couldn't open our blinds at all for natural light since we were on the first floor and our room opened up to the parking lot, so people were walking next to our room constantly... so the blinds were closed 24/7.

Our room had a dirty pillow but the cleaning personnel changed the cover for us. Lift is missing some lights. When you select your floor there is nothing to say which floor is selected and when you reach there no indication on which floor you are at. Small things else the place is great.

I chose this property for the rooms with the bunkbed with a door. This was perfect for myself as an adult with my parents to avoid paying for two rooms. I could not find anything of a similar situation without being much further from the park and for a lot more money. The photos showed a sliding door but our room was a full on glass door and I could not hear them through it. Bed was comfortable even though a bunk bed. Pool was good. Breakfast was perfect for a quick eat before heading out. Door of hotel to gate of Disneyland was a 15 minute walk. Two pharmacies across the street for quick buys. Was perfect for our 4 day stay.
