It has 371 large two-room suites with living rooms and separate bedrooms, so it’s ideal for groups of friends or families traveling with kids.

Chain Hotel
Spread out in affordable comfort here. At the Residence Inn by Marriott, spacious studios and one- and two-bedroom suites with separate living and sleeping areas are available.

The Anaheim Hotel

Accommodation ranges from guest rooms to family suites with two baths, and in-room refrigerators and microwaves allow you to snack on your own terms (and streamline your budget).
