Our "go-to" hotel
Scott Wegner. on 07/09/2024
Guest Rating

We stayed at the Desert Palm multiple times. This is our “go to” hotel. We like the variety of the room size selections. Rooms are clean and the front desk staff is very friendly. The location is really close to the parks with Starbucks and CVS right across the street to get snacks and water. They have a complementary breakfast that is solid.

Loved the staff at desert palms, very helpful and friendly. I accidentally threw away my gift cards and didn’t realize it till I was already at the parks, called the hotel and they were nice enough to check the trashes and thankfully they found them and held them till I arrived later that evening. Rooms were very clean. Definitely would recommend this place to family and friends, and I’ll definitely be staying here again.

It is a decent hotel. Not super clean but not dirty. Breakfast was pretty good. The gym doesn’t open until 6am. Which is tricky if you want to work out before leaving for Disney around 7. The walk is less than 10 mins and is so easy with no streets to cross! Loved that.

Staff was great. The bed was good but pillows were awful. The breakfast was good. We had a corner room that faced the road. The windows were definitely single pane which meant no sound barrier. We could hear every car speeding by as if we were standing on the sidewalk.

Amy Lowe. on 01/14/2024

This was a great hotel overall. The only negative was an extremely loud two bedroom suite we opted to upgrade into. It was located behind a rental car facility which was active all night and had loud alarms going off multiple times throughout the night. Also, the road noise was extremely loud so sound dampening windows need to be installed.

We stayed at the Desert Palms because it had the room size we needed and is within walking distance of Disneyland. The customer service and breakfast leave a lot to be desired, but we would probably stay again because of the room size and price point (although their are upcharges for early and late checkout if they are even available).

Great hotel and location!
Sacha Despain. on 10/26/2023
Guest Rating

This hotel was fine for our needs. It was close enough to walk to Disney. We easily walked in the morning and after a long day at the parks. I would say it was a block and a half. We felt perfectly safe walking, there were always other Disney goers out, so we were never alone. If you wanted to take the ART, the hotel is on the route. We just felt it would take longer to take the bus than to walk. Breakfast was fine: Waffle bar, hot foods with an egg omelet, cereal and muffins, toast, coffee and juices, etc. Typical free hotel breakfast. The room was adequate. It was clean and we were so tired each night, we slept just fine. Our window overlooked a cement wall and the parking lot, so that wasn't great, but we were never really in our room anyway. It is a hotel with lots of Disney guests, so yes, that means lots of little kids...which equals noise. It was nothing we couldn't live with. Hotel staff was always nice and helpful. The only negative I have was the $40.95 early check in fee...even though the room was ready. We could've left our luggage at the front desk and went to the parks, but felt better leaving in the room. It was a fine stay and if you are looking for a free breakfast, no frills hotel, this hotel is just fine. (Walgreens and CVC across the street and a 7-11 next door)

Reception desk personnel not helpful. Called in the morning to have sheets changed on two separate days. Came back from Disneyland and sheets were not changed on both occasions. Got back with our Granddaughters and couldn’t but them to bed until we received the sheets and then we had to change them ourselves. Breakfast buffet is boring. Some food everyday.

I would recommend but with qualifiers.
Jennifer Poston. on 06/29/2023
Guest Rating

I would recommend but with qualifiers. The location is amazing, hot breakfast is included but it’s was nothing special. The hotel has a weird layout. We were on 2nd floor (even though we had requested a higher floor). To get to 2nd floor you have to use a separate elevator and breakfast in on the 5th floor which cannot be accessed from the elevator that gets you to the 2nd floor. You must take 2 or stairs to get to a floor that has an elevator going to 5. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Pros and Cons
Vanessa Henry. on 05/10/2023

Pro: The hotel is close to the parks and a very short walk. Closest hotel with suites that include a full kitchen. CVS across the street was convenient. The room was comfortable and the staff was really friendly. The pool was clean and relaxing. Cons: Noise from the street kept me up at night. I had to wear ear plugs. The breakfast options were few, and not much that a person with food allergies could work with.

This was our first time at this hotel and I’m glad we stayed here. Of all the hotels we have stayed at near Disneyland this one was by far the cleanest and friendliest we’ve been to. I was nervous about the distance to the park but it was an easy walk there and back. The only negative thing about it was the breakfast didn’t have a lot of variety.

The positive: the employees we had interaction with were great. The location to Disneyland was great. The breakfast was good and the attendants were wonderful. The not so great: The breakfast room is small and VERY crowded. The WiFi is terrible! The towels were very strange--not at all absorbent and therefore, pretty useless.

We will not be back
Rylee Christianson. on 01/05/2023
Guest Rating

The hotel staff was not very friendly and I felt like I was inconveniencing them every time I had a question. They upcharge you $35 to check in early (even though the room was ready) so we opted to just wait until we were done with the park that day. I went to check in at 11pm and there were four workers all standing being the desk. They were gossiping about something and rather than helping me, they said they would be right with me. So we had to stand and wait until their conversation was over to be checked In. We have stayed at many hotels near Disneyland and loved all of them. This one was very disappointing. From the unfriendly staff to the paper thin walls, we were not impressed. I’m a heavy sleeper and woke up multiple times a night to the high traffic, our neighbors alarm clock every morning, and the musty smell in the room didn’t help either. Save your money and book a hotel that is similarly priced, but closer in walking distance. We will not be back to this hotel.

This hotel is fantastic! We loved that the room could easily fit six people and everyone had a bed. It is so nice to have the hot breakfast in the morning. The breakfast opens at 6:30 so we were able to eat and walk to the park and get there before rope drop. It is within walking distance of the park. We thought we might want to get shuttle passes. However, it was faster to walk than to wait for the shuttle.

This was our first time staying here, we thought it was great, we'd totally stay here again! The staff was awesome! Rooms were clean, bed was comfy, AC in the room worked great (very nice after a long day at the parks)! The breakfast was good, a basic hotel hot breakfast. Total walk time from our room, getting through security and to the front gate was about 15 minutes. Across the street from the CVS and Walgreens if you forgot any essentials. The hotel is also next to a 7-11, but if you don't want to leave the hotel, there is a little "store" next to the front desk with drinks and snacks.

Check in began at 3pm. We arrived at 325pm. They told us our room wouldn't be ready for another hour and that they would call. We drove around for a bit and came back at 5pm. Still hadn't received a call by then. It was already a long day and all we wanted to do was check in and relax. Hotel itself was nice. Our room had a king bed and bunk bed. The room was clean and big enough for our needs. Breakfast was your basic scrambled eggs, sausage patties, waffle maker, dry cereal, oatmeal, juice and coffee. It held us over for a while at Disneyland. Nice small quick bite restaurant and a store with your basic needs and snacks. We would stay here again and would recommend to others. The check- in was really the only problem.

The location is perfect. Short walk to the main entrance. Only down side is that it’s next to a 7-11 where the homeless hung out. And we encountered someone urinating right out in the public eye. Besides that it’s a great hotel. And we will definitely stay there again.

Best Option in My Price Range
Jenni Bowman. on 05/05/2022
Guest Rating

After learning that the ART busses are not as great as they used to be I was determined to find a hotel with complimentary breakfast and within walking distance of the parks (a must for our kids that need naps.) Desert Palms was the best option in my price range and we were very happy with our vacation. It was about a 10 min. walk to the park when stopping at the light. The wide, clean, and shaded walkway made it super easy. The breakfast wasn't the best of the best but it was good enough to fill us before heading to the parks. We had waffles, eggs and cereal every day. I requested a crib and it was in the room ready to go when we got there which was very nice! Beds were good. Staff was friendly. Parking lot was underground which was nice to have a cool car to come too when we needed it. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of this hotel as it is a little older than others surrounding it. We never heard people to the sides of our room, only above but not the hotels fault. I've never been disappointed in a hotel that GET AWAY TODAY recommends, so all in all I would happily stay here again as it was super convenient and we had no complaints. This is the 3rd hotel close to the parks that we've stayed at booking with GAT so in terms of rating it I can compare with those. I'd say it is nicer than the Clarion but not as good as The Ayres Hotel Orange. But in terms of convenience to the parks it wins!

Great location. Walking to the parks was maybe 10 minutes. Continental breakfast was good, maybe could use more variety on things you could just grab and go like whole fruit or bagels. There were transient people outside the hotel, only once that made us nervous by behavior. They aren't doing any kind of room services due to covid. One day we came back from the park to find our door was left open by room service (bringing towels) and didn't pull our door shut all the way.

CAMILLE WILCOX. on 02/02/2022
Guest Rating

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. First, every interaction we had with the staff was delightful-- from the front desk to housekeeping to the breakfast attendants, and even the pool maintenance guy who generously let us soak our aching feet just a few more minutes in the hot tub each night. Everyone was so kind and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Second, the rooms were clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for us, our kids, even our stroller! We never felt cramped or crowded in our room. Third: heated pool and hot tub. We've visited Disneyland multiple times in the off-season, hoping to avoid crowds. But every hotel we've stayed at previously had their pool closed. The kids loved playing in the pool in the evenings, and the adults loved relaxing in the hot tub. Fourth, this hotel is SO CLOSE to Disneyland... In fact, you can see many of the California adventure rides & attractions from the right rooms, or the breakfast room on the top floor. Speaking of breakfast, it was fantastic every morning. Eggs, biscuits & gravy, potatoes, sausage, waffles, etc. It was all delicious. Desert palms is our new home-away-from-home when we visit Disneyland. As long as they keep it up, we'll keep coming back!

We loved this hotel! We got the room with the bunk beds and it worked out so perfectly. Our kids usually sleep horribly in hotels but they slept so great here having their own space and comfy beds. The walk to Disneyland was so easy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again! Only 2 small downsides… the hotel was quiet except for the doors! Every time someone came/went from their room, the slamming doors woke us up. And the water pressure in the shower was bad. Neither of those things are a deal breaker, just little gripes. But overall, excellent especially for the price!

We had a wonderful stay at Desert Palms. Everything was clean and inviting. The breakfast was wonderful. Everything was delicious and refilled as needed. Every employee was friendly and helpful. We look forward to our next stay.

The hotel was great. Just not a good location. It is further away from the park and the homeless population is a problem in that area

We stayed here summer of 2019. The location was the driver for us booking here. We were able to walk to the park with our 8 year old twins. The hotel is very nice and kept up. The room we had was clean and up to date. The front desk was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We plan to book here again in the future.

Little details, like a place to hang jackets and enough towel hangers in the bathroom. Spacious rooms and great breakfasts. Only flaw is the light in the bathroom above the sink really sucks for putting on make-up and they don't have the stairs location marked at all. Big safety violation but really clean and nice. A+ to housekeeping.

Wonderful breakfast area. Perfect for quick eats before heading out to the parks. Easy 10 minute walk to Disney. Room was spacious, and we enjoyed the stepdown living room area. View was nice with the Guardians of the Galaxy tower and Cars Land lit up at night. Also can see the fireworks if not in the park after a long day. Lobby was very welcoming with plenty of space. Hotel restaurant had great food and wonderful service. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel with a very good location. Walking to the main gates took less than 10 minutes each day. Plenty of stores nearby to grab quick things as well. Rooms were a little small, but had enough space for a family of 4 with the bunkbed room. Breakfast had something for everyone as well, and was nice to start the day with a warm breakfast. Would stay here again for sure.

We got a 1 bedroom suite and it was amazing. Plenty of room and the full kitchen and balcony was very cool even though we didn’t take full advantage of it. The room was very clean and well maintained, housekeeping did an excellent job and every staff member we dealt with was very nice and professional. The walk to Disneyland is a little longer than some hotels but for us was very worth it for the quality of the hotel and staff. Would highly recommend.

My family loved this hotel. It was within walking distance to the park, and had a free breakfast each morning. The free breakfast helped save time and money, which was great. They have a restaurant onsite, that is really great too. The only thing I didn't love is the pool area is weird, the hotel is in a square shape, and the pool area is inside the little square. So it is an outdoor pool, but very closed in by all the walls of the hotel surrounding it.

This was a very nice place to stay for a Disney trip. They upgraded us to family suite at no charge and the room was HUGE! It is a short walk to the gates and lots of places in walking distance for dinner on your way home from the park. The breakfast in the morning was nice so we could have a full stomach before heading into the park. I would stay here again for sure.

The hotel is nicely updated, has a clean and bright centralized pool and hot tub, and provides a great continental breakfast. The breakfast provides some variety each morning and is timed well with Disneyland park hours. We also liked that they have fruit infused water 24 hours a day in the lobby for guests. We would definitely stay in this hotel again.

Good staff, WiFi is the worst
Ryan McLaughlin. on 11/13/2016

Overall the hotel was good, but we had a couple issues. We booked the room with the bunk beds because there were 6 of us and that room says it can fit 6. However when we arrived we found out that the couch that folds out to fit two had been removed from all the bunk bed rooms and in order to fit 6 we would have to put 4 on the bunk beds. I don't know about you, but my kids don't like sharing beds. In stead we put two air mattresses on the floor. This used up a ton of floor space and made it difficult to get around in the room. Fortunately we spent most of our time outside of the hotel. In hind sight I would recommend you only put 4 people in the bunk bed rooms, and if you have more, you should book the two queens with the sitting area because that would fit 6 a lot more comfortably. The WiFi in this hotel was probably the worst I have ever experienced. I had to reload web pages several times before they would load and forget about downloading anything, the download would usually get cut off early and I would have to restart. I went to the front desk to see if they could do anything, they said they would reboot the router. I don't know if they did it or not because the WiFi never improved. I ended up having to use my cell phone as a hot spot because the hotel WiFi was so bad. If rebooting the router is the solution I suggest that the hotel automates this by putting a timer on each access point and have the timer turn off the access point for a couple minutes every night. The hotel staff was friendly, I don't have any complaints here. The breakfast was great, and it changed a little every morning. I options we saw were sausage and egg patties (good on a toasted english muffin), biscuits and country gravy (no sausage in gravy, and no sausage on the side to add to the gravy), scrambled eggs with and without sausage, omelets sometimes with cheese, sometimes with sausage. They also had doughnuts most days, and waffles and cold cereal everyday. The scrambled eggs with sausage usually followed the days with sausage and egg patties so I wonder if those were leftovers. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable, but the hot tub was foamy. Probably because people don't shower before getting in and all the soap and shampoo end up in the hot tub. Even though the hotel is near Disneyland there is really no good location to view the fireworks. I wish they had a balcony or something. We had to go up to the 5th floor and hold our hands to the windows in order to see the fireworks. I would stay here again if another hotel was not available, but book a different room, and bring a portable hot spot for WiFi.

We really enjoyed this hotel! I first chose the 2 queen sofa bed room but decided later to change it to the king bed with kids bunk beds! Changing it was easy and quick! The kids loved the bunk beds, we loved the separate spaces. The room isn't huge but we made it work. We loved being close to Disneyland so we could walk and leave our car so we didn't have to pay for parking twice. The free breakfast was great! The staff was friendly. They would say "hi" or "welcome back' , "have a nice day". Upon check out I left my pillow in our room and the housekeeper ran it down to me from the 4th floor!! Talk about service! The room was clean and nice. The pool and hot tub were a welcome relief from the heat and bustle of park hopping all day! We will definitely recommend this place to others!

We were in the L.A. area for a week, but only stayed at the D.P. for two nights, and I should've stayed here for all 6. They were having some new renovations done, which was not a problem. We got a new renovated room, which was nice. Good job on the work. I like the fact that there was a sofa bed in the room since there were 5 of us. Customer service was great. Breakfast was ok. Could be better, but it was free so can't complain. A free anything is good. I would give 5 stars, but there is always room for improvement.

We stayed here for a week - all six of us - and I would highly recommend it. The only down side was that the suite we were in was slated for remodel....the day we left. If that had happened before we arrived, it would have made this a 5/5 review. We had the Sahara Kitchen suite and so were able to cook our own meals and have snacks to take to the park. The complimentary, full breakfast was a lifesaver - freshly made and changed up daily. There were eggs, bagels, fruit, yoghurt, do-it-yourself waffles, toast, doughnuts, juice and more. The walk was about 10 minute...depending how exhausted we were. All in all, we would definitely recommend this hotel. Clean rooms, friendly staff and more.

We recently stayed at this property for our family spring break vacation and couldn't have been more pleased with everything. The staff was more than willing to help with anything we needed. The rooms were very nice and cleaned when we returned back every night. The breakfast was a great time and money saver every morning before our day at Disneyland. Location is perfect for young family's who want to come back for a break midday to relax before going back for the nighttime festivities in the park, just a short 8-10 minute walk to the front gate..... We will definitely stay here on our next trip to the happiest place on earth!!!

Pros: - The location is good, we walked to Disney every day - It is close to food outside the park (Coffee shop across the street, pizza and Subway across the street, nearby Walgreens, and CPK and Cheesecake Factory are a block away) Cons: - We were convinced by the Getaway today agent to book this hotel for a little less than one of the near by Marriott Suites hotel for the "Kids Suite". It was so small and we had no room to put our suitcases down. - Hotel 'free' breakfast was terrible. Even my 8 YO hated it. - Hotel restaurant was OK - Our room was very dated / In need of a refresh You pay for what you get!

The best thing about this motel is that it's so close to Disneyland that you can walk. Our room was comfortable, but the walls were thin and our room was loud. The pool was also really small. The room was clean and we liked the free breakfast. We ate outside on the deck and could see California Adventure. The hotel had activities for kids, and my boys liked looking for the hidden Mickey.
