Close to the attractions we wanted and the parking garage was very convenient. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The little restaurant in the hotel lobby was fantastic!

The breakfast provided by the hotel was great, but you were supposed to stay in the dining room to eat and they do not let you make a plate and take your food back to your room. This was difficult for us b/c we have 4 kids and I would have to get everyone up and ready at once to go eat instead of bringing the food to them and letting them eat while they get ready. My little ones do not sit and eat their meal all at one time and they needed to be able to finish their food later in the morning.

Friendly, helpful staff. Rooms were very spacious, comfortable beds and good facilities. The breakfast was fantastic and great to eat it on the rooftop patio on a sunny morning! The room and whole hotel was very clean. Lots of places to eat nearby (or in the hotel itself), and of course very easy access to Disneyland which is an easy 5 minute walk away. Couldn't be happier.

The decor is a little shabby and dated in the corridors (carpets particularly), and I was a little concerned when we first arrived that it was going to be a rather downmarket experience. Nothing could be further from the truth as the bedrooms and main reception are well appointed and this hotel is actually a little gem. A little spruce-up in the corridors would work wonders for first impressions and would show the hotel to be the relaxing, comfortable and welcoming place that it really is.

Great location in regards to both Disneyland/Adventure Park and Anaheim Convention Center. Nice pool, a lot of times we had the pool to ourselves. Clean, little to no noise from the hotel itself.

Little to no healthy options for breakfast. No brown bread, but doughnuts, muffins and waffles galore. But it seems this light be a cultural difference between European and American breakfast culture.

Great place! We usually stay at another hotel that is across the street from Disneyland, but chose the Desert Palms this time to save a little bit of money and to take advantage of the free breakfast. We were still totally in walking distance to the park (10 minutes vs. 2 minutes), enjoyed a larger space (we had a 1 bedroom suite, sleeps 6), and enjoyed the free breakfast. The parking areas are monitored by security guards, and when there was an issue with our vehicle (my fault), they got a hold of me right away and were very kind. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and happy to help us. The TV setup could be a bit better - there are a lot of channels and no guide - in the TV or in the room. That's my one minor complaint about the room!

The "fake cheese" used in the omelets at breakfast was unfortunate and a turn off.

the hotel is always clean, there’s always staff available to help. We loved the bonus of the area off the lobby with a constantly running Disney movie. A great place for the kids to chill out. The pool was always clean and warm enough for a swim, even in chilly weather. And the hotel is perfectly located for a walk to Disney, no need for the shuttle. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved the ease of the free breakfast. the staff kept the place IMMACULATE, and always made sure the food was fresh and plentiful. The only thing missing would be a selection of fresh fruit, other than orange slices.

close - walking distance to Disney, room clean, we had a free upgrade which was so appreciated - our room was very comfy and we would definitely come back. I think parking was also free which was great as we rented a car. there are shops nearby to get snacks or water from and there is a shop in the hotel too

Breakfast was very basic and if you didn't come first very early, things would be gone and not readded... Lot's of kids as is expected from a hotel near Disney meaning the lovely outside pool and jakkuzi was a bit crazy until it closed... (i guess this is good for kids as they can burn last bits of energy they ahve left) also no cash or phone payments at the small shop at the reception, it had to be a physical card which I don't carry... not a biggie but a bit inconvenient

Room was spacious and very clean, breakfast was good for being free. Waffles were delicious everything else mediocre. Easy walk to Disneyland.

Be aware they charge $40 for early check in, even if it’s just 1 hr before and your room is ready. don’t get mad at the staff because it’s not their fault but this is a ridiculous money grab that put a bad taste in my mouth when we checked in. Instead of paying the fee that we had not budgeted for we sat in the lobby for 2 hours with our tired, hungry 4 kids as did several other families. Also, Worst shower I’ve ever had—extremely poor water pressure. Despite these issues the room was excellent and we would stay again.

Convenient to Disneyland. Smelled fresh throughout. Helpful and pleasant staff.

The suite has a pull out bed which wasn’t very comfortable for an adult. It also has 2 steps down into that area which is always lit up for safety. However not conducive to a dark comfortable sleeping experience. Also main window in this area has shutters that don’t block out bright street lights. Staff did send up blankets to cover the stair lights.

Location is great. Included breakfast convenient. Recently remodeled room, clean.

All the doors down the hallway slam upon closure - quite noisy first thing in the morning and late at night. Lost a few points on cleanliness because though they said they would change towels and trash daily, they did not.

Large, clean room. Comfortable beds. The suite was perfect for traveling with our toddler. We could pull the screen divider across and it kept his side of the room quite and dark. They also had a complementary metal crib (not a pack n play) - which was nice for my toddler. We brought our own pack and play mattress the fit the crib. It’s a close walk to Disney Parks. About a 10 minute walk.
