SpringHill Suites Anaheim Maingate

Location: Highly praised for being close to Disneyland .

I booked this hotel specifically because it advertised a shuttle to Disneyland and breakfast included in the price—two key factors in my decision. Unfortunately, the stay did not meet expectations. Parking & Arrival: Upon arrival, I noticed that the front parking bays were blocked off by the hotel, even though they were empty. This forced us to park far from the reception area, which was inconvenient—especially considering the $30 per day parking fee. For that price, the least they could do is make the closer spots available to guests. Check-In Experience: Check-in was just okay. I mentioned an issue with my Bonvoy membership, but the front desk staff offered no real assistance—just sent me another email, which didn’t help. I needed actual support, not a brush-off. Same was with Check-out when she asked about Membership, I explained my issue and she brushed it off not assistance or guidance was given. Shuttle Service Disappointment: Then came the disappointing news about the shuttle. It’s not the hotel’s own service, and it makes multiple stops, significantly delaying the trip to Disneyland. This was not clearly explained on the website. We ended up using Uber, which cost more and defeated the purpose of choosing this hotel. Room & Noise Issues: The room itself was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, we were placed right next to the elevator, which meant constant noise from people and the elevator “ping” throughout the night. It disrupted our sleep multiple times. Bathroom & Housekeeping: The bathroom was another letdown. The shower had extremely low water pressure, making it difficult and unpleasant to use—especially with long hair. On the plus side, there were plenty of towels, and housekeeping was provided every other day. Breakfast Quality: Breakfast was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel, but it was a major disappointment. The eggs were watery (likely powdered), the food selection was minimal and poor in quality, and the two tiny waffle stations were overwhelmed by large crowds. The sausage was overcooked and tasted oddly plant-based. After the first day, we opted to eat breakfast elsewhere. Overall Impression: It felt like the hotel was trying to charge extra for every little thing while cutting corners on the basics. I usually enjoy Marriott properties, but this stay was a letdown. I won’t be returning and have already started looking at other hotel brands for our next trip.
