California Inn

Absolutely disgusting! Walked in and walked right back out. If you have a family do not bring any children to this property!! I booked another hotel down the street. I was promised a refund by the manager but have not been able to get any refund. Horrible place

Location is importance for the occasion

1 star — Unsafe, filthy, avoid at all costs We booked the California Inn in Anaheim through Hotels.com and it was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve had. We arrived at night to find drug dealers in the parking lot, people yelling near the adjacent liquor store, and homeless individuals going in and out of rooms. It felt completely unsafe, especially with our children with us. The room itself was just as bad — it reeked of urine and bleach, had visible stains on the headboard, and cigarette debris scattered around. We didn’t even unpack; we went straight to the front office and left. The man at the front desk told us he’d issue a refund but that we needed to go through Hotels.com to process it. Since then, we’ve called the hotel over 100 times with no answer, and Hotels.com won’t refund us without the name and title of the staff member who told us this — information we didn’t think to get because we assumed it would simply be handled. We paid full price for a room we never stayed in, at a property that felt more like a halfway house than a hotel. Do not book here, especially if you have family with you.

California Inn was a great stay 3 years ago. Not being maintained and going down hill Fast! Sorry to say n see! Will not book again unfortunately

Signs all over saying no smoking on the property but clearly no one obeys. Room smelled like smoke. Not quiet. Beds were clean and comfortable.

I love the air conditioning here

Beautiful pictures, but totally weird and the room was super moldy

This was my worst travel experience by far. The room pictures are very deceptive. Linens and towels were discolored and stained. Bugs in the bathroom and a leaking toilet. Left my room to go explore the area put the “do not disturb” sign on the door, when I returned after a few hours someone had broken into my room and stole a few things. Do not go here absolutely terrible.

This place has really started decline over the years. Not my first stay at the California Inn, which location (relatively close to the Disneyland parks) and previous experience encouraged my recent stay. Starting off with the check in process. You would think level of security would feel nice; however, upon checking in I was greeted by a slightly disheveled looking worker. He asked for my name for my reservation. Upon giving my first name he printed out a key which was covered in grime. No checking of any ID, no credit card, just a name a boom access granted. The thought in the back of my head was hmm, maybe leaving valuables inside of my room is a bad call. Check in is done. Parking is fairly tight but open and easy to navigate. Clutter is everywhere with some “extended stay” guests having bikes and property strewn across the sidewalks. Entering the room shows the decline in this place. The first thing you notice is the strong odor of stale moldy air. If you were tired from your long travels into town you’re awake now just in time for the fun. The floors are grimly, the furniture is stained and sticky. The linens and towels are stained and covered in previous guests hair that make you wonder if they were indeed changed. The decorative pillows on the bed had the stitching bursting at the seems. No ice machine available and the AC had a strong smell of urine emitting from the vent. Woken up mid morning by multiple knocks at my door with the maid trying to enter my room.

This was our second time staying here. We really like the staff and love how close it is to Disney! It’s also very cute inside and we enjoy the mural/artwork. However this latest experience wasn’t great. We stayed two nights. Very first thing we saw when we walked in our room was a roach running across the floor. The bathroom door latch was broken and it opens on its own without being latched, so we had to prop it closed with a bag if we wanted privacy. On the first morning, we walked out to find someone’s car being broken into. The passenger window was shattered. The next morning we were woken up by the people above us stomping for over an hour (it felt like they were working out or jumping it was so loud). Then the people next to us were in a screaming match cursing at each other. Unfortunately after this last experience, I told my husband I don’t think I would come back.
