We stayed at Residence Inn Anaheim Maingate for four days in May and had a great time. The breakfast buffet was great. The hotel was clean. Our room - a suite with two queen beds - was a comfortable size. Avoid the rooms close to freeway. We were in one of these the first night and found it noisy.

Well what can we say – I have travelled the world on business and pleasure for 25 years and this hotel is the very best I have stayed in for overall value and enjoyment. Nothing was too much for the staff – every single staff we came across was a pleasure; the accommodation is great, clean and ample. Pool was heated with little in the way of time restrictions at night, the toddler pool and hot tub were equally clean and excellent, with an abundant supply of clean towels. We used this hotel as a base whilst my family and I travelled around California, Nevada and Colorado, none could hold a light to The Residence Inn, Marriot, Maingate. You know the way you yearn to go home after a few weeks away – not this time, if I was to own a hotel to impress my friends and peers it would be this one.
Disney is just two short turns away and I5 is just around the corner, plus a great Harley Davidson independent / custom motorcycle shop (Freedom Motorcycles) just round the corner down Katella. As an engineer I hate the term 110%/100%, as it’s impossible and over done, but in this case I will make an exception.

My mother and I had stayed here once before and were very pleased to come back. We stayed four nights from 5/10-5/14. We had a suite with two bedrooms. Downstairs there is a living room with a couch and easy chair, a nice size kitchen table with chairs, a small kitchen and a bedroom/bathroom behind french doors off of the living room. The kitchen had a fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. The fridge produced ice as well. There is also a welcome basket with coffee, tea and microwave popcorn in it. There is a steep step of stairs that lead upstairs to the loft. There was a king sized bed up there along with a full bathroom. This worked out very well for us.

The hotel also has a buffet breakfast each morning. There were always eggs (with cheese or without), potatoes, toast, oatmeal, make your own waffles, muffins, bagels, fruit, cottage cheese. Bacon and sausage would rotate as well as pancakes and french toast. Everything was wondeful and fresh! Way better than any hotel I've ever stayed with. The hotel also has a market in the lobby where you can purchase food items for snacks or even things to make quick meals in your suite. We purchased some desserts there during our stay. Pricy, but convenient.

We visited Disneyland while we were there and it's within walking distance. It is a LONG block to Disney, but very doable. My mother is in her sixties and had no trouble walking in the morning or in the evening. It probably took us 15-20 minutes each way to do the walk.

I love this hotel and would love to come back someday!!

We loved the granite countertops and the neat little touches like the microwave popcorn in the room, and the shopping service.
A couple things we weren't expecting...
1- the ART shuttle though convenient and cheap is not operated by the hotel - it is a local service that goes to multiple hotels and they take a lunch midday between 1230pm and 2pm. It was hard to predict the running time because it wasn't ever on schedule. At times it was too full to take us. More than a couple time we walked even though we already bought our shuttle tickets because of these issues. It is about a 10 minute walk.

2-the Playstation / Nintendo in room is NOT FREE - they charge on an hourly basis. I think it was $7.95 per hour. Unfortunately we found out the hard way when we checked out and our kid charged over $100.00 to the room. I checked the room handbook and couldn't find anything and also looked around the TV area. Yes - our kid did click yes on the screen to allow the charges but I felt that this should be better advertised.
