Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa on Disneyland Resort Property

The Disney Grand California was perfect for one reason, the location. After standing for hours in lines, it was fantastic to pop back to the hotel for a midday nap or dip in the pool without having to catch a shuttle or walk a mile. The registration process was easy and very friendly. The interior architecture was lovely, it was a boon to catch the nightly fireworks show from our balcony, and my son had a great time on the twisty pool slide. The room itself was comfortable, spacious, and I appreciated the free wi-fi access. On the down side, the hotel lobby was quite cold and the Room and Housekeeping services were not the tops. Calls had to be made twice for simple requests (or simply weren't fulfilled at all), breakfast orders were wrong, and housekeeping services were left half done. I would have liked to enjoy the hot tub by the pool however, when I went, it was lukewarm at best and filled with kids. I would stay there again for the location.

It was a great time, we had an amazing view of California Adventure

The hotel has a very comfortable style with excellent staff to meet every need. Every detail of this crafstman style hotel is complete. As soon as you walk through the door of the hotel, you get a great feeling of a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The location for access to the Disneyland and California Adventure parks is perfect! Our family doesn't stay any other place now!

Great! Grand Californian is a wonderful getaway for family. The hotel is located within the Disney park and it's easy to get to park and back.

This was a weekend to celebrate retirement and it couldn't have been better. The best part of staying at this hotel was that I really did feel like I was their guest and not just another hotel person. Every cast member I encountered treated me like they were happy to have me there. The only disappointment was their room pillows. They were too hard and could not get comfortable with them. They need to offer a variety of softness to select from. The hotel restaurant was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in a resort hotel and the food complemented the decor. Keep up the great work Disney, you really do make dreams come true.

It was a great place to stay was on my bucket list and no I can cross it off. Was a beautiful day and got to enjoy the pools and the warm weather

nice hotel, but front desk cast members do not have the Disney spirit.

Would not honor my Orbitz Theme Park View as paid for and said that I should talk to Orbitz about that, basically passing the buck. Check in clerk seemed confused and unorganized. Sensing my frustration, they did give me a Disney Fastpass. About the rooms, seem outdated, especially the bathroooms. If you dont want to deal with transportation, this is a good place to stay . I would stay there again at the right price.

The hotel was phenomenal! It was a big splurge (for one day while we were California's Adventure park) but it was worth the in and out privilages. The kids had a great time at the pool (which had a waterslide) on our checkout day. We will be back when we save up again.

Upon arrival at the Grand Californian, I was extremely impressed with the way the front desk handled check in. There was a person there to greet you and to get your name, other info, etc. and then wait with you and walk with you over to the next available check in counter. Then they gave your information to the person at the check in counter so you didn't have to. I thought that was a nice touch. Of course, the little kid-sized armchairs in front of the tv playing Disney movies is just adorable not to mention being an instant attraction to the kids and helps keep them entertained while waiting. Although the rooms are just average, I would still definitely stay at the Grand if going to Disneyland, you just can't beat the convenience.
