This is a nice hotel, within a long walk or transit, to Disneyland. The studio room was very clean, mid-sized, including a very comfortable bed and bedding, large bathroom, in-room refrigerator, desk and television. The lobby is very nice, the staff were friendly and check in was quick. As with previous guests, I feel there is no need to charge for parking ($11) though parking was simple through card access. There is no guest parking that is without charge (this seemed to be true for other hotels...everyone charges and the only way for this to be waived is to have a drink or meal at the hotel). I am, however, especially upset at paying a $6.00 resort fee per day (+ tax) at the Doubletree. The hotel pool is extremely small. There are no umbrellas by the lounge chairs (only by the round tables). While it is convenient to have towels provided right there, and a drinking fountain and washrooms, it is unimpressive and takes one or two families with children to completely fill the pool. There is no justification whatsoever for charging a resort fee...unless it is also for the "free" internet access in a room off the lobby. Again, a nice feature but something we have come to expect. Nothing is free when these additional costs are added (I do not recall this being disclosed in advance). I will be writing to Hilton (as this is a Hilton property). There are many places to stay in and around Disney. I am not sure why this is rated as #1, though I do not dispute that it is a nice hotel with fairly priced rooms. The hotel pool at The Hotel Menage was far superior but again, there are a lack of umbrellas. Given health considerations, I find this very surprising. Will consider other alternatives next time, comparing all features side by side as well as fees.

We stayed at the Doubletree for three nights in June while visiting Disneyland. The location is good, but too far for my 4 year old to walk to the parks. We took the ART buses everyday and never waited more than 10 minutes to board.

The room was wonderful as it had a separate living and bathroom area away from the bedroom. The room was very clean and the maidservice was very good. The refrigerator and microwave came in handy and the two televisions were great for a family who doesn't always agree on what to watch.

We did not realize but it was "Grad Night" at Disneyland meaning they closed the parks early for regular folks and were open to seniors all night long. This was OK except we had several rooms around us full of rowdy, loud, obnoxious teenagers. I had to call security as my children kept waking up by all the loud noises in the hallway. Security did come up, but as soon as he left the ruckus continued. Doubletree waived our parking fees ($11.00 a day) for the inconvenience which was very nice of them and smoothed over my ruffled feathers. If you stay there during early June of any year ask to be far away from the "grads" staying at the hotel.

The coffee bar downstairs was very convenient in the mornings for our java jolt and my kids loved the 2nd floor pool area especially after a long day at the parks.

I would definitely stay at the Doubletree again when we are in the area.

We spent the last 2 nights of a 3 week tour of California (& Las Vegas) here and it was pleasant/relaxing. Although very convenient for Disney & Knott's Berry Farm we only went to Downtown Disney both evenings for some entertainment and food (good choice there). We visited the Crystal Cathedral complex (it is in fact several buildings - more like a religious convention centre) and we enjoyed that. Breakfast at the hotel was good and we also went to the Denny's across the road (much cheaper but also good). The room (suite) was a nice size & had 2 TVs, fridge, several chairs, a desk, and 2 big comfortable beds with quality furnishings. Again, as with other hotels (especially newer ones eg Omni San Diego & Clement Monterey) there aren't enough places to hang wet/damp towels. Open drawers/shelves are okay when towels are rolled up/dry (ie awaiting use) but not otherwise. Pool is not big nor is patio area but most people are elsewhere during the day and it wasn't a problem while we were there. Staff are friendly, a cookie to greet you with at check in was a nice surprise and it is also good to have the use of a PC in the business centre - this hotel provides 3 whereas most only have 1 or 2 - and no silly charges for usage either - well done!!

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights as a quick stop. I have to say, the beds were great! The linen was clean, the pillows were fluffy and the rooms were made up every day. The rooms were spotless and the bathroom had fresh towels (and plenty of them) changed daily.

Check in was hassle free, and were given the famous doubletree cookies. A nice treat on arrival.

The room walls were a bit papery thin, though we were lucky we had no noisy couples or children around us, but I have a feeling that may be a problem for some - being the disney area.

I wouldn't recommend eating at the hotel, we had breakfast once, and I nearly threw up. Everything was dripping in oil. The fruit was brown - and minimal selection. Buffet was mostly bacon, sausages, more bacon and bacon! It looked like it had been sitting around for a while too.

One other complaint was that the hotel had a sickly sweet smell about it. It didn't filter in to the rooms because of the air con, but it was throughout the lobby and lift area. It really made me feel sick - fresh air is needed!! The reason this started to bother me is because the free wifi access is in the lobby (but at least internet is provided!).

Service was lovely, everyone willing to help and with a smile. They organised limo services for us to get around town etc quickly and efficiently.

Would stay there again if I needed to be in the anaheim area.
