Great recent experience at the Disneyland Hotel!! Came to Disneyland to celebrate our grandson's 5th birthday. Wanted to stay at a Disney Resort but wasn't sure we wanted to come back to the Disneyland Hotel. We stayed at the Disneyland hotel a few years ago and the experience was terrible. Disney was offering a great deal on their rooms and park tickets. 30% off!! So thought, yes, let's book it So glad we did. What a different experience this time around. As we wanted to go straight to the Parks on arrival, we ordered food from Van's to be delivered before our arrival. Highly recommend doing this as Disney has a room to hold your food and a refrigerator to hold cold items. When you arrive at the hotel, there are bellmen and an outside reception desk. Go there to inquire about your groceries. After we checked in (we had already prechecked in online) We immediately secured a bellman to bring our groceries to our room. He walked with us to our room and along the way, gave us some great tips about the hotel & pools Booked a Premium View room. Received a room on the 9th floor in the Adventure Tower. Great view of the pools. Room was exceptionally clean, well appointed. Had a refrigerator & Keurig coffee maker. Highly recommend staying here!!

The Disneyland Hotel has always been THE place to stay. Our recent visit illustrated why we've kept returning. The Cast Members are truly the ones who make magic happen. We felt genuinely cared for. Shout out to the front desk crew- Brittany, Elena, Ernesto and Penny for all their kindness and hard work to solve an issue that we had. They were patient, thoughtful and shared useful insights for our visit. What's more is that not only did they make us feel like royalty, but when we saw some of them later in the visit, they stopped to ask us how things were going. Now, that is real service! With all that they had going on, they took the time to stop for a moment to check in with us. It meant a LOT. We had the opportunity to stay in a club level room and have access to the High Key Club. We've stayed concierge level before and it has always been a great experience and this was once again, incredible. The cast members in the lounge were attentive, kind and genuine without hovering or making you feel like you were being "watched." If we needed something, we asked and they provided service with a smile! Thank you to Robert, Cynthia, Guille and Kay for making it extra special. It was a pleasure to see each of you when we would trudge in after a busy park day or in the mornings. The food offerings in the lounge were also top-notch! Breakfast items included bagels, bread, pastries, hot chocolate, fresh fruit (grapes, pineapple, strawberries, apples, bananas), oatmeal and hot biscuits & gravy as well as sliced salmon, ham and turkey. During the afternoon snack time there were pretzels, chips, uncrustables, trail mix fixings, tea sandwiches and of course, fruit but the best part of all was the freezer with ice cream novelties...including the great Mickey Mouse ice cream bars! Evening provided warm appetizers that could and did serve as a meal. Items like arepas, shrimp, egg rolls and other items like cold meats, veggie spreads, cheese, crackers, fruit and breads provided. The drink cooler was always stocked with Coca Cola, Coke Zero, Sprite, Ginger Ale, juice, milk and bottled water for the grab-and-go! The desserts at night varied with cookies (sugar, chocolate chip, and oatmeal), mini cheesecakes, cake pops, various cobblers and rice krispie treats (Mickey shaped, of course!). The rooms are clean and cozy. Our room was perfectly clean and the housekeeping provided extra towels on request. Beds were extremely comfortable. Do keep in mind that this hotel is 70 years old, and despite a couple of remodels, the buildings do show their age a little bit and if this bothers you, stay somewhere else if modern updates are more to your taste. Rooms have plenty of lighting, lamps and alarm clocks do have USB ports. Bathrooms provide several lighting options instead of just one big florescent light. Bathrooms here are shower/tub combinations so if you want a standalone shower, those aren't here. Ice machines on every floor and efficient elevators provide exactly what we need! Truly, no complaints about the room. Water pressure is on the lower side but that is not a dealbreaker for us. Water was warm/hot as needed for showering. The ambience of the entire hotel complex is calming. Beautiful DISNEY themed music plays throughout the grounds and each hotel tower (Fantasy, Adventure and Frontier) provide their own themed music loops as you enter. The Discovery Tower is the newer DVC building. We did not stay here, but did see a room and despite it's "newness" is not to our liking. We much prefer the original Disneyland Hotel rooms. Again, thank you to all of the staff that we interacted with for making our stay the very, very best.

Deluxe View Room (Adventure Tower) We have stayed 8 nights in March 2025, Originally we were booked for a standard view room, however upon check in we were advised that our room had the 2 queen bed set up and if we wanted to have a room with a king bed, we will need to upgrade to a deluxe view room due to availability at the time. We have decided to for the upgrade at check-in, as we much prefer a king bed. Overall, the stay was pleasant and we generally enjoy our stays at this hotel. I have the history and Disney feeling this hotel provides but let’s just say, the value of this is very much disappearing when comparing to previous trips. Previously, we have enjoyed the 1 hour early into a Disneyland resort park benefit of this hotel, on this 2025 trip, that was reduced to 30mins and at the time I write this review in 2026, this benefit is completely gone. This hotel was never about “value” but the removal of benefits reduced its appeal and specialness. Our room had a view of the Disneyland Hotel pool which is nice in the day and beautiful at night when its all lit up. The space in the room itself for just the 2 of us was plenty, but with a larger group it could feel a bit tight, but that would be normal any standard hotel room. The room had a small refresh since our last visit in 2018 which was nice, but the bathrooms are really showing their age. Location is great as it is on Disney property, so right outside of hotel is Downtown Disney, which you walk through to the 2 parks (5-10min walk). We enjoy the walk between the park and the hotel however some people say it’s a bit too far but that all really comes down to personal preferences and situations. The security process can be time consuming at times, this is certainly something Disney needs to work on by improving the efficiency/time it takes to get through security screening, especially at peak times. Overall, I still say this is a great hotel for people that love Disney and love Disneyland history, however if that doesn’t mean that much you, I suggest staying at an off-property hotels at a lower price point including some of the true luxury hotels (JW Marriott & Westin).
