Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

8/10 Good
"Booked a room with sofa bed and did not get a sofa bed, was too busy during our stay to address it but beware if you require it. There was a weird black bug in the bathroom. Disneyland fireworks are very loud due to proximity of the hotel to the park so might not be a good option for young kids but overall our stay was good and would stay again for the price. Shuttle drivers are very nice!"
