My family and I had 3 rooms at this hotel for 2 days during the 2nd week of July - one studio and 2 two-bedroom family suites. The common areas and the guest rooms were very clean, and the rooms were nicely decorated. The staff were great. I travel a lot for business and do business with 4- and 5-star hotels. The staff at this hotel are very service-oriented and are as responsive and helpful as staff you would find at a 4- or 5-star hotel. My family loved the buffet breakfasts and the pool. We used the bus service that transports you to and from Disney. It worked out wondefully. You can take it directly from the hotel's parking lot to the park. The last bus leaves Disney at 12:30 am. The cost for our family (5 adults and 5 children) was $21 for the day. It was a 5-minute bus ride each way. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. I know this is where we will stay the next time we visit Anahem. Thanks so much to the Residence Inn Anaheim Maingate staff for making our visit such a wonderful experience. We wish we could have stayed longer; the next time we visit we plan to stay for a week.

Our family of four stayed at the Marriott Anaheim Residence Inn from July 8 to July 20, 2008 and we could not be more pleased. The room offered two queen size beds, a lovely living room with a pull out couch and fireplace, a full kitchen including a large refrigerator/freezer, full stove, sink dining table, and microwave. The room had a spacious bathroom with a separate changing area. There were 2 TV's which was nice for relaxing in the evening after being in Disneyland.

Parking was good, as was the pool and tennis area. I must add that it was difficult to park near your suite so it was a short walk from the car to the room.

It was great having free wireless in the room and outside of our room near the courtyard. The courtyard had a nice seating area and a couple of gas grills. We were able to log on quickly while having breakfast, before heading out for the day.

The grocery shopping service was fantastic. We ordered some whole fruit to take to the parks and it was as fresh as I would have chosen myself.

The desk staff was very accomodating. The breakfast buffet varied by day with consistent oatmeal, fruit salad, bananas, toast, muffins, yogurt, scrambled eggs, meat, cereal, and lovely make your own waffles which was a treat for the kids. The workers did a great job keeping the tables clean and the food replenished. It is often crowded at breakfast but we never found it difficult to find a clean table.

Our room was kept spotless and the linens were refreshed often. The housekeeping staff was very accomodating as well.

We paid $101 per night plus tax and felt that we received a good deal during the tourist season, especially with free breakfast , free parking and free wireless. We drove to the park and did not rely on Anaheim Transit. It is $12 per day to park at the Disneyland parks. We froze our water bottles and packed our own small meals/snacks which helped keep costs inside the parks down.

If you are in Anaheim with your family, you must try a great Italian restaurant (chain) Buca Di Beppa on Harbor Blvd. We ate at TIFFYS and it was by far the most disgusting food I have ever been served, and it was expensive. The Garden Walk across from the hotel and Downtown Disney had some great restaurants.

The Motel 6 and Wyndham World Mark are the hotels closest to this property. It is in a nice area, very close to the freeway (5).

Overall we had a great stay and hope to stay at the Marriott Residence Inn when we return to Anaheim.

How much fun could we have! I was so shocked to read a bad review from the same time we were at the same hotel! We had such a great time! We arrived on thursday the 24th of July and were met by the most accomodating and wonderful staff! 3 cheers for Cathy at the front desk! She was so fantastic! We had a two bedroom loft room booked for 4 nights and couldn't have imagined staying anywhere else. Everything we asked for appeared with no wait. Upon arrival we asked for extra towels and in less than 5 minutes they were there. We were staying to celebrate a 40th birthday and the hotel provided a cake! and were right on the case with extra trash bags and everything we could need. One of our guests decided to stay the night and again Cathy swung into action booking us a one bedroom next to our room. Before the party started we realized we could use a baby gate. I have never stayed anywhere that in a blink of an eye got us a baby gate to keep our youngest guest in place. We had such a wonderful time. The hotel has free wifi. It works very well. The hotel has free breakfast. It is the basic hotel freebie, waffle makers, cereal, eggs etc. but what more can you want for free? The hotel does not have a free shuttle to disney - the shuttle is 3 usd per adult and 1usd per child round trip, but it is so quick and there are actually two stops at the hotel. On the side is 7A that is the one that stops at the hotel and at the back of the property is the stop for 7B that is actually listed as the Motel 6 stop but was closer to our room! The shuttle dropped you off right out front and even though we could have parked cheaper by packing everyone in one car, it was so nice to have the shuttle waiting just for us! and having the option of 7A or 7B meant we never waited more that 5 minutes for a shuttle. Safety? We felt totally safe! And even better just across the street is a place called Anaheim Gardenwalk - check it out! Although we had a full on kitchen in our room we ate out every night! PF Changs, Cheesecake Factory, Bubba Gumps among the larger places to eat and several smaller places to grab snacks! There is a new cinema there too and we managed to squeeze in two films during our stay. The pool in the hotel was a decent size, there were two BBQ grills, and a tennis court where the kids spent loads of time! All in All I honestly loved this place! Yes I can be honest - the one downside - the floor in the room was filthy and they said there would be on the case to have the floors cleaned! If you don't tell them they don't know!

We stayed at this hotel from July 12 - 26, 2008 and could not have been happier. We are a family of four; two parents, accompanied by our 17 and 19 year old kids. We stayed in one of the bi-level units with two bedrooms - one in the loft, and one on the main floor. Having two complete bathrooms was wonderful, as was the fact that our two teens each had their own bed (bunkbeds) without using the sofabed in the living room. The suite was very clean, and well-equipped with a full kitchen and three televisions! All buildings were clean and well-maintained, and the grounds were well manicured and attractive. We had a lemon tree outside our door! The fact that the pool is open 24 hours is also a bonus, and the pool is clean and well looked after. The location is great - about a 10 minute walk to Disneyland, and across the street from the new Gardenwalk complex, We did drive to Disneyland some days, as we had purchased our passes through CAA (Canadian version of AAA) and they included free parking, but it was an easy walk in a very safe neighborhood. The breakfast buffet was well prepared, clean, well maintained and more than adequate with everything you can imagine or want for breakfast. Not fancy - but substantial. I used the laundry facilities, and the appliances were clean and inexpensive - $1.25 for a wash cycle, and the same for a drying cycle. All staff at this location were extremely friendly, efficient, professional, clean, and well-groomed. Parking was never an issue - if returning late in the evening, it was not always possible to park directly in front of our building, but the greatest distance we had to walk was not more than 10 - 12 parking spaces away. Having the larger physical space of a suite, and not just a hotel room, for a two week time period was absolutely invaluable to the enjoyment of our vacation. We would absolutely stay at this hotel again.
