Clean hotel and fantastic customer and room service. Close to Disneyland for those who are planning to go there. 13 minutes walk to Disneyland. The staff are really informed about Disneyland to help guests. Great breakfast till 10 am. The rooms are spacious, airy, a sitting sectionand great with kids. The pool is fantastic, both warm and cold. Great gym and variety restaurant attached to it with room service. Close shopping 🛍 centers beside and across the street. Desert Palm Hotel, a place to be.

So let’s get this out of the way since I am a Dad. There is a two level parking structure that the exterior photos don’t really showcase. The parking situation seems more than adequate especially since they manage this by allowing for one vehicle space reserved per room reservation. The spaces are first come however. There are also plenty of exterior security cameras so I felt pretty safe leaving my vehicle unattended. The family room with the bunk beds was just perfect. The hand sink doesn’t flow hot water and the pressure is lacking, but definitely not a deal breaker. The shower however functions quite well. I live in a house of girls, so when my daughters discovered that the hot water never runs out, they cherished every single drop of endless steamy wonders! Granted we were only in our room to sleep. Disneyland encompassed three full days and then some to keep us away from the room. We also come from a land locked state and my kiddos had never seen the ocean. Thankfully they are water babies and we spent our non Disney days getting some killer tans. There are plenty of places to eat literally near by while being easily walkable, and the food was terrific. Also much more friendlier on the wallet versus park prices for their food. However, did you really go to Disney if you didn’t spend 11 dollars for one handful of popcorn?! Also, watch out for those pigeons…they’re pretty shady and don’t waste any time letting dropped popcorn go to waste. Also, keep your head on a swivel around the ducks. Yes, actual ducks! I kept my hand on my wallet because they looked like they wanted to steal my cards. Also, when you see Mickey, no matter what you do he will take all of your money. I tried to fight him off, but his whimsical happy laugh and friendly face had my credit cards melting from all of the point of sale devices conveniently placed everywhere! Having a 7/11, Walgreens and a CVS essentially on all four intersections was a huge blessing! However you could see Mickey lurking in the shadows absolutely disgusted you weren’t spending your money with him. I think I even heard Minnie crying because of it. There is a wee bit of a homelessness issue, but wasn’t terrible by any means. Where I come from in Colorado, Ive become accustomed to the hardships people face and feel that it’s more prevalent there than here. However, the main thoroughfare this hotel is on is on a very busy boulevard with plenty of “Tourists” around. Also, the police and security presence is very visible and noticeable. For the very savvy people as well…aim to get a room on the fifth floor. Other than this being the breakfast floor, there is another hidden benefit to this floor especially if you have a family of four or more people sharing a room. All in all, for me being a Dad…my wife greatly approved of my hotel decision. So if she was happy, I must have done something good!
