A few colleagues and I attended the same conference and stayed at the Hilton Anaheim Hotel but had varying experiences with our rooms. The upper floors, which my colleagues were on, seemed to be renovated and newer than my room on a lower floor. Depending on when you visit, you may want to keep this in mind. – July 2024

My Experience as a Guest of the Hilton Anaheim Hotel

My stay at the Hilton Anaheim Hotel was everything I wanted it to be. Check-in was quick and easy. I utilized the baggage storage both before and after my check-in. The facility was beautiful. My room did not have a great view, but I wasn’t in my room much since I was visiting for a work conference. It did have floor-to-ceiling windows though, which I loved for natural light.

The hotel was clean and felt very safe both inside the hotel and in the surrounding area.

Getting around Anaheim from the hotel was easy as there was a local bus stop just a short 3-minute walk from the hotel. The bus took me close enough to walk to Disneyland, the Packing House District, and multiple restaurant options.

Although this is not at all the most affordable option in the area, I think for what is being offered and its proximity to Disneyland, this is an excellently priced hotel. Many surrounding hotels were much more expensive.
