The Westin Anaheim Resort

We had a wonderful stay at the Westin, and it’s truly one of the best options if you’re visiting Disneyland or Downtown Disney—the location couldn’t be more ideal, just a short walk from all the magic. The room itself was spotlessly clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. After full days in the parks, it was a perfect place to relax and recharge. The breakfast was exceptional—yes, a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth the investment for the quality and variety offered. While the staff overall were very kind and helpful, we did encounter a hiccup with our early check-in request. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t ready until later in the afternoon, which did force us to adjust some of our plans. That said, the hotel handled the situation with flexibility and offered a few perks to help make up for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated. Despite the delay, our overall experience remained very positive thanks to the excellent service, clean accommodations, and unbeatable location. If we’re ever back in the area, we’d definitely choose the Westin again.

Antonio from valet service is a very rude/abrasive person. Hopefully the hotel will address the issue to provide him with the right training.

Skip the Disney Property Resorts and head straight to the Westin Anaheim Resort! Over the years, we have stayed at all three Disney Resorts multiple times (Disney Hotel/Grand Californian/ Pixar (in all of its renditions). The Westin stands and shines heads and shoulders above the big three that are associated with the park. Yes, the three are a tad closer, but what is one easy block-- the walk is nothing-- literally! I will take the calm and quiet luxury of the Westin any day over the monorail access from Disneyland Hotel. And, the Westin is close enough to return to the hotel mid-day if you want respite from Disneyland or if your kiddos (or you) need a little nap! The quality of the Westin Resort is excellent. Both the public spaces and rooms are what you want after returning from a full day at the park. The rooms are well-appointed, luxurious (enough--it's Disneyland after all), clean, and spacious. The hotel vibe is calm (which is what you want even if you are travelling with little ones). We had a King with a very comfortable mattress and a Juliette balcony with a view of the park. So, if you didn't last until the fireworks, you still get the show! Also, when I was comparing the rooms between the Disney hotels and the Westin I could see I was getting more value for the dollar! Booking through Amex you get the daily buffet breakfast which was very good and had something for everyone. We also received a $100 credit to use towards food/bev at the property. While we did not eat at Flemmings or Puesto--they are there. The Rooftop Bar is nice and you can make reservations (good plan to view fireworks.) The downstairs bar was also very nice. Sidenote-noticed that while we were eating breakfast, our room was cleaned. This type of service- where they keep track of guests and service rooms while they are eating breakfast etc is something we typically only experience in 5-star + hotels. We really appreciated knowing that our room would be ready when we returned from a long day at the park! Parking was easy. There is a self-park and valet option.

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Robert at the front desk! From the moment we checked in, he made our stay feel truly special. He immediately recognized my Marriott Bonvoy status and upgraded us to a beautiful room with a full balcony overlooking Disney California Adventure, which was perfect for enjoying the nightly fireworks. When I mentioned we were celebrating my son’s 9th birthday, Robert arranged for a sweet surprise (a gift from Sugarfina) which completely made my son’s day. That extra touch made our stay even more memorable. Robert, I truly appreciate your hospitality and for helping create such a magical experience for our family. Thank you!

Overall experience was great! Will definitely stay at this hotel again and would refer friends and relatives. Highly recommended!
