“Average, I'd not stay again”

Best Western Pavilions

3 of 5 stars
Lake Mary, FL
Jul 8, 2008

I stayed here in March, on what was a good rate (for that time period) in Anaheim. I was staying over Easter week.

The hotel was not too far of a walk from the Grand Californian, which was a great shortcut to the parks. I didn't really like where the hotel itself was located - it seemed a little set off to the side, away from other hotels (though it was right next to a Dennys). I didn't feel comfortable walking back too late at night, because it's the last hotel in that area.

The stay was okay. Not great, not terrible. The rooms are older, but the beds were comfortable. The air conditioning unit was an old-style one. I did find the liquor store behind the hotel a great place for reasonably priced fruit and snacks.

My next stay in Anaheim will be at the Marriott Residence Inn, which I got for $82 per night for a 2 week stay. So definitely do research before staying here. I wouldn't NOT recommend it, but I'd rather stay elsewhere. I do like the Candy Cane Inn very much, but it was another $50 or $60 per night over what I paid for this property, and I was on a budget. I can't see giving more than 3 stars for this hotel, but I'd not go too much under either (it's decent, not exceptional).

“Great value!”

Best Western Pavilions

Fairfield, CA
May 29, 2008

I stayed at this hotel from May 24-27th (Memorial Day weekend). With the AAA discount, it was only $89 the first two nights and $81 the third night. What a deal! Check-in was very efficient - the front desk clerk took less than 3 minutes for the whole process. I paid for two full beds but found out that I was upgraded to queens at no extra charge. I was very pleased with the appearance of the room. It was very clean with modern bedding and lamps. The beds were comfortable and clean. We also had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, air conditioner, open closet, drawers, a TV, a table and two chairs. I did not use the pool but frequently heard people swimming. Parking was free.

The hotel is directly across the street from the Downtown Disney parking lot. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the front gates of Disneyland and we were not even walking fast. I could see the Disneyland fireworks out the window while lying in bed. There is a Denny's in the parking lot, and lots of other great restaurants nearby (Red Robin, Outback Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory, Bubba Gumps, etc.) There is also a Target just a few minutes away. If you want to visit somewhere other than Disneyland, you can take a drive to Newport Beach or Laguna Beach in about 40 minutes.

Overall, the visit was great. Our rooms were cleaned every morning, and I felt very safe walking through the parking lot at night. It is not the most luxurious hotel, but if you want a nice hotel for a low price, this is a good deal. Check out only took about a minute or two and the staff was friendly. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Good location, pretty good place to stay”

Best Western Pavilions

3 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
May 21, 2008

We stayed here for 10 days in Nov 07. Booked this as part of a cheap Flight Centre Disneyland deal from Australia. Hotel rooms were clean and comfortable, but the air con gave off an odd smell.

Staff were efficient - wouldn't call them friendly - but kindly let us check in at 10am after a 14 hr flight from Melbourne Australia - typical check in is 2pm.

The hotel is about 15 minutes walk through the car park to Disneyland, so you could get some rest from the Disneyland crowds, and there were heaps of restaurants and so on nearby, and the Food 4 Less supermarket was pretty close, but we'd recommend using your hire car's GPS to track down a Vons - seriously one of the best supermarkets I've ever been in.

We didn't use the pool, and we certainly advise against eating at Denny's (which was always strangely busy despite the awful food they serve). The liquor store behind the hotel sold cheap phone cards to call home with. All in all, it was a good place to base ourselves for exploring SoCal.

“OK Motel”

Best Western Pavilions

3 of 5 stars
Auckland, NZ
Apr 28, 2008

We stayed here because our travel package included the airfares from New Zealand and 4 nights stay at an Anaheim Hotel close to Disneyland. We were booked at this hotel because the other option available to us, the Howard Johnson, was already fully booked.

Upon check-in the staff were friendly and efficient. The room was clean and appeared a little dated even though Best Western have carried a recent upgrade. There is free wireless internet, or you can use the public PC in reception for free for 30 min (I think). AC unit is old is old and noisy but necessary if it gets too hot (reached 93 F on day we checked out). Denny's is next door and Coco's is down the road. Both are good choices. Another option is all you can eat buffet at Captain Kidd's on Harbor Blvd opposite Disneyland entrance - cheap and just edible. parking is in the Best Western car park adjacent to it.

Not too far to walk to Disneyland (about 15 minutes with a shortcut through the Grand Californian Hotel). There is a shuttle bus just near the front of the hotel, departing every 20 min or so. Cost is $3pp one way unless you buy the ART passes from reception. You can buy a 4 day return pass for $8pp.

“Worth the money”

Best Western Pavilions

4 of 5 stars
New York
Feb 26, 2008

The hotel is a good value. The place is nicely landscaped, and the pool is great, and it also has a hot tub. It's in walking distance to Disneyland, so you can save on parking.
The room was average for a hotel in this price range, and kept very clean. What was nice is that it had a small bathroom window which we were able to leave open when we left during the day, so the room had fresh air. (I hate hotels that have that stale closed up air). We were on the second floor, and parking was easy.
Desk staff was also friendly.
