Days Inn Anaheim Maingate

Recently stayed here on our vacation to SeaWorld due to the convenient price. It is just a average motel– for cheap stay. They offered free breakfast and Wi-​Fi, which was decent. This motel is pretty empty all day and most the night because everyone is on their Disneyland vacation. It was perfect that the pool and hot tub was empty pretty much our entire stay and did not close until 11 pm.
The rooms were clean. There are a few things I didn’t like about my stay. To me the pillows were uncomfortable– not great for neck support. Another thing is that the walls are very thin. You can hear people leaving to get ready for Disneyland and unlocking and packing the car at early hours in the morning. Lastly the door is hard to figure out to lock all the way. I think one of the nights we left our door slightly open because we were unaware it was not closed correctly.

The worst place i have ever stayed in.
They gave us a room that had bedbugs which we saw next day morning of our check in. When reported they shifted us to new room where the sink n bath tub were clogging. And despite of reporting it was not fixed.
All in all it was a trip spoiler.
This one star could be taken as a negative only .
I strongly recommend not staying in this hotel.

Stayed here for a total of 6 hours, I booked a room as I just wanted an inexpensive place to crash for a few hours before the marathon. This is exactly that, only a place to ‘crash’, not some luxurious resort. The room seemed to be clean and I checked for bugs, etc. and didn’t see any. Not really close walking distance to Disneyland, but I had a car and it was just a few blocks/​minutes down the road. The major issue I had was that my room faced the street (Milken Way) and it was extremely noisy!!! I could hear everything as if it were happening in my room with me: every car/​truck/​motorcycle driving by, everyone getting into/​out of their cars, even people skateboarding. EVERYTHING. People stood out on the balcony and talked and smoked, and I could hear every word (not to mention smell every puff). And keep in mind I didn’t check in until 9pm and I checked out at 3 AM. So this was all going on during that time. This was all so much that I could not hardly get one minute of sleep, which was the whole reason I even booked the room to begin with!!! And this is why I won’t stay here again. If you’re a heavy sleeper looking for a bargain and are ok with a no-​frills place, this could work for you.

I’ve stayed many times with friends for moms getaway trips. It’s always clean and super affordable.
Mike, the night desk guy is great. We love the consistency of the staff and service!

Great stay! They are currently renovating and re painting so our room had new paint and everything and was really nice, no stains no bugs no smell like the reviews said there would be. The front desk lady was super nice and let us add another night and didn’t give us any sass or anything. It is a long walk from Disneyland so me and my boyfriend got ART bus passes (which you can get at the Disneyland bus area or just pay cash up front) which was SUPER convenient. Definitely gonna stay here again. I only put 4 stars bc I didn’t get to try the breakfast lol

Do NOT stay here.
Here is my story staying here:
I stayed here on my trip to California, and didn’t look up any reviews (bad on my part), and it was also right by Disneyland, which I wanted to go to so that was my whole purpose reserving this hotel.
When I first got there, the little assist. manager boy went to help. He was OKAY with his customer service, but I honestly think he made up being the assistant manager because he was just too young to be one, and he had absolutely no idea what he was doing to get me checked in. It took just under an hour for me to finally get checked in, and if you’d ever stayed in a hotel before, you know it takes not even 5 minutes to get checked in.
I’m not a smoker, and I requested a non-​smoker room. When I got into my room, the sign said non-​smoker, but when I opened my door, the STRONG smell of cigarettes came from the room, it almost gave me a headache from how strong it was. I went down to the office and asked if I could have another room please because the smell was just too much, but the manager boy said they were all booked and if another room became available he would let me know. I would’ve gone then and there, but they said no refunds and I JUST paid for my week stay there.
Later that night I noticed something was wrong with my door. It wouldn’t lock unless you put the bolt on from the inside, that didn’t help what so ever with making me feel safe. Of course I had the bolt on (& said a prayer for me to be safe) slept that night. When morning came, I had to be somewhere, but was already 20 minutes late because my door refused to completely close at all. Frustrated, I go to the office and tell manager boy about my door. He laughs as if I were lying, and goes up with me to my room to show my room door wouldn’t lock or close. We try an extra 10 minutes (because he says that door has always been «tricky») until I say I have to go somewhere NOW and what should we do about this? He said there were no room available, but he’ll keep trying to close the door and get it to lock because it was the «tricky» door. I foolishly said okay and left the hotel onto later that night. When I got back to my hotel room, (I left at 9am and came back around 11pm) I was in SHOCK to see that my door was WIDE open with ALL MY STUFF out and ANYBODY who could be walking by could just walk into my room and STEAL EVERYTHING!!! I go to the office and there was the actual manager. I yelled because I was PISSED! And she just LAUGHED, and said, «Yeah, that poor kid couldn’t get your door closed and his shift was over so he left.» I was waiting for her to say something else, but she just continued to stare at me with a smile on her face. I asked her well what the hell are you gonna door about my damn door? I didn’t come here to stay in my room, I have places to be. She did a little laugh again and said «Don’t worry, we’ll get maintenaince men to get to your door BRIGHT and early to fix it.»
Come to 2a.m. I’m long asleep, then all of a sudden I hear BANG BANG BANG BANG! On my door. I almost had a heart attack. I wasn’t going to answer the door, but slowly went up to the peephole to see who it was, and while I was sneaking to the door, I see the handle move and someone was trying to get in. I seriously thought I was going to die. I see it was two men, all dressed in black and wouldn’t show their faces. They tried with there shoulder to open the door but I had the bolt in and they whispered amongst them selves and left.
In the early morning, I go to the office to say how these men went to my door, but before I could say anything, the woman manager says «There you are! We sent two maintenaince men to your room last night but you didn’t answer! You MUST be a heavy sleeper! *laughs*» I said «Those guys were YOU?» And she said «Yeah! They were available so I told them to go right into your room, but they said you had the bolt in!» I realized I was dealing with the most stupidest freaking woman alive. Long story short, I told her to bring them NOW, and she saw I wasn’t kidding, so she told them to come and fix my door, which they finally did.
While they’re fixing my door, I go to the breakfast room. Well, tried to. They have a glass door and see people in it eating, but the door was locked. While I tried to open the door, a maid came by and said the breakfast room was closed for cleaning. I said those people are in there eating, she said «Well they already got here before we started cleaning. We’re not letting anymore people in.» I was over this hotel. And while I was walking to my rental car, a hooker asked me if I wanted a «good time», with I’m guessing her pimp behind her just dagger staring at me.
After when I came home from this hotel, I emailed the company, telling them my experience and I want a refund for my stay because it was EXTREMELY unprofessional and an inconvenience. I emailed them a total of 6 times, and never got an email back.

Here is my longer version of why this place was horrible:
When I had originally reserved my room here, I did so because it had stated that it was next door to Disney, and safe. Well that was far from the truth. Yes, it was on the same street that Disney was, and that was about it. Try a ten minute drive away first off. I had taken the Amtrak up to Anaheim for the first time ever in my life, so that I would not have to drive to a class that I was scheduled to be in for three days next door to Disney. I knew I could Über from the Amtrak and be walking distances from hotel and class, which sounded and seemed like it would be perfect.
The reality was that this place was as I stated before, ten minutes away driving from the hotel to Disney. It was also in a very shady area when the sun set. I was planning to walk to eat dinner my first evening when all I heard was fighting and nonsense outside of my window from the nearby apartment complex. When I did decide to head outside to wait for an Über, I was accosted by a man asking me if I knew the hookup? He was not a character I wanted to spend the evening with. I could not sleep the entire time I was there for fear someone would be coming into my room when I least expected it. That was how unsafe I felt here.
On another issue, when I first checked in: I was given the disabled person’s room. I am not disabled but I said ok, if that is the room you have me in, no issue there. But there was an issue. The carpet was wet and the room smelled like mildew. There had been some kind of flood in the room that day or in the last few days. There was no way I could be in that room.
The clerk did not want to change my rooms for me. She said that the carpets were cleaned that day and she could put some air freshener in the room for me but that my room was fine. I had to force her to go to the room to see the wet floor. She then had to contact her manager to get approval for me to change rooms. Eventually this did happen and the next room was not any better. It smelled horrible as well with very little ventilation in it. At least it did not have visibly wet floors for me to worry about and I left it at that.
The next morning, I left all of the towels I had used up and closed the door to do not disturb. When I got back from my class that evening, I went up to the clerk on duty and told him I had left all the towels I had used outside that morning and was requesting more towels. He then gave me one towel. I had to explain to him that I had left out towels and would like exactly what I had left out back. He then said he could not and that what he had left was for others who had done that. He had actually had my towel and other rooms towels on his counter with sticky notes for who gets what for each room. I said that is great you have those ready for the others, but I had left what I left out and should get the same back. Why does another room get more than one towel than me? Why can’t I get more hand towels? You have that the maid had gotten all of the towels from me so it is known I have not stolen any from you? I am staying here for three days and I need more towels. It was the most ridiculous encounter I have had with any one in my life.
Worst place EVER!

Exactly what we wanted. clean, confortable, basics .we are on Vacation to disneyland .so we came back every night and crashed .Our room looked recently remodeled our beds were clean we saw no bugs as shown in other posts .the breakfast room was Small. BUT THE food was fresh. over all a nice stay for the price

We took a chance on another secret deal from Hotwire since our experience at Quality Inn (just down the road) was so great. Well, the secret is out and the joke is on us, because this place sucks. If you hate your relatives and they’re planning a visit, send them here and they’ll never come to SoCal ever again. The room smells like feet after they stomped around in a field of Fritos. The paint is peeling off the walls. The roll of toilet paper in the bathroom was nearly finished. FINISHED, as in someone else came in and used 80% of it before we had the misfortune of putting our butts down on the seat. The décor looks like 2015 showed up and 1978 kicked it out. The bed sucks, they suck, it all sucks. And the location? Perfect for drug lords, not so good for me and my family. Oh, but just outside a Jack in the Box and an auto repair, so you can get new hubcaps in case someone steals yours overnight, and spend $ 5 on a glorified hamburger while you wait. The toiletries are hilarious unless you’re a Hobbit; then they’re perfect. Fortunately, we bring our own stuff because these types of places tend to disappoint. At least they threw in a fridge, microwave, free Internet and decent cable. But don’t keep your ass here past 11, because unlike everywhere else we’ve ever stayed (that let us check out at noon), this place is unyielding. Whatever; you’ll want to check out as soon as you can, anyway.

IF YOU HAVE A TODDLER DO NOT STAY HERE!!! The carpets are filthy. Unless you can contain your baby to the bed, this shouldn’t be an option. If you care about your child’s health, spend the extra money and get a room at a hotel that actually cleans their floors.
If you don’t have a child, this is a good option if you’re short on funds. I’d still recommend wearing outdoor shoes when you walk around the room. The floor is dirtier than the bottom of a shoe. But I’m sure this is a good indicator of the cleanliness of everything else in the room…
I won’t go into the hair on the shower wall, yucky breakfast, people smoking right in the hall so the smoke goes in your window etc…
*I’ve posted a photo of the floor*

What to say about this motel? Well one thing for sure, if you ever get super excited over deals on Expedia, check all reviews from every site to see why the deal is so cheap, lol. Unfortunately for us, we bought the deal and didn’t check the reviews until AFTER we arrived.
Arriving here in the afternoon, we had one person at the front desk who was friendly and efficient. She also looked super tired and bored with the job. Poor lady. Then once heading into our room, we walked into a warm musty smelling room. Bring on the AC! After turning it on full blast, we got ourselves situated. What I noticed the most was that the carpet felt REALLY disgusting. After walking barefoot for an hour, I put my shoes back on. It had a weird sticky mucky feel to it and u can also see there were many carpet stains that never came out.
The bathroom area was a decent size and had enough room for the 4 of us that would be sharing. U can see in the tub that there was some mold. Also the soaps and bottle of «free» shampoo was very generic and I think I wasted more water trying to wash off that soap. Also the blankets and stuff seemed very worn and were so scratchy. Thank goodness I brought my own extra blanket which helped immensely from being creeped out after the many reviews I’ve seen here and the photos of the disgusting mattresses. NOTE: make sure to check the adjoining room door and make it is LOCKED. Super creeped out that ours was unlocked so I locked it and put a chair in front of it.
Overall, it’s a cheap place to stay near Disneyland. Only about a Mile away. (25min walking). My advice if u stay here, bring your own pillow and blanket and slippers! Wear something at all times. They also have free breakfast but it’s basically generic looking eggs, make your own waffles, cereal and toast. Coffee was gross. Juice was okay.
Also $ 5 for a shuttle back and forth all say to the amusement park and back. We didn’t use it but we also didn’t want to have to wait for the shuttle or wait longer because it was too full.

Rooms smell like cat piss !!! … Very musty !! We stayed in room 129 … The shower was an open concept door less !! When you shower it creates a flood like event. It was terrible we had to ask for more towels to mop up the water and the lady at the front desk acted shocked … With a straight face she stated «no one has ever complained before ». I hope people read this before booking here … I know Disney is the ultimate point of staying there and it’s just a place to lay your head (we had that same mentality) but save yourself the terrible experience … After a long day at the park why come to a musty moldy dark room with bellow standards accommodations !!!.

This was by the the WORST hotel/​motel experience I’ve had. So beware.
After a long day at the park (we arrived to Anaheim around 9:30am and were in the park until about 9pm), we showed up to check into our room. We were told that we had the last room and got the keys and went in. Upon entering, we immediately smelled a horrific smell. It smelled like fish and mold. My husband and I picked up our things off the floor and put them on the table while we investigated.
The bathroom was covered in black mold and underneath the anti-​slip mat was what he described as «peanut butter colored sludge». The smell was definitely coming from the bathroom. I decided to check the bed and look around it, found a dead bug carcass, and stains on the sheets and mattress… I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping here.
Upon discussion with the worker here, we learned that there was «nothing she could do for us» and that she was upset that she had to «remake the bed» because we looked at it. We immediately called
(where we booked through) and found another room in 15 minutes and left.
After some discussion and through
amazing customer service, we were completely refunded from this terrible experience. Please save yourself a headache and pay an extra $ 100 to stay somewhere else for the weekend. It’s worth it.

Stayed here last weekend for Celebration 7. Walking distance to convention center is a big plus. I was very worried about the pictures I saw here but our room was fine.
I cant comment on the breakfast because each day woke up too late to try it or we left in a hurry and did not bother.
I only really have two issues with our stay. The first one is a problem with most hotels.
1. they close the pool/​hot tub TOO EARLY!
2. The last morning we were there the whole hotel ran out of towels!
I gave our towels to the cleaning lady because I thought they would give us new towels right away or at least within minutes. Then I find out that they wont be done till 2PM!!! It was about 10am and my roommates had not showered yet so I thought they were going to kill me. This is the sort of thing that would cause me to knock about 2 stars from a place but I bumped it back up to 3 because after I went to the front desk they gave me the last clean towel and then I came back later and they made sure the first clean towels got to our room about 30 minutes later.

I stayed at this motel for 3 nights and 4 days. After reading all of the horrible reviews I was reluctant to stay here. However, the hotel was already booked and due to a busy weekend, there were no other hotels near the Anaheim Convention Center for a decent price.
At check-​in, the lady at the front desk spoke to us in a very rude and condescending tone, but other than that it went pretty smoothly. I walked into the hotel room expecting the worst so I came prepared with my own sheets, pillows, and blankets. I am so glad that I did. I pulled the bedding back to find several yellow stains on the sheets. The mattress and box spring were stained with what looked like blood. The floor was filthy. My feet would have probably come out cleaner after walking on the street outside. We found several cockroaches and who knows how many others were lurking around the room. It served its purpose, but I will not be staying here again and I would never suggest for anyone to stay here.

I stayed here for one night on New Year’s Eve for an event at Anaheim Convention center. We were looking for a place to crash since we’d be drinking that night.
The hotel was clean and yes it’s a motel so expect old carpeting etc, but everything was clean. They have a huge parking lot and let you park multiple vehicles for free which is a huge plus. There’s a jack in the box right next door if you get hungry. Our heater worked fine, no complaints.
The convention center is a few blocks away within walking distance, would definitely stay here again if you’re looking for a place just to crash!

Last and final night of staying here. I think I have enough to type a review.
On the first night of arrival I was a little bit grossed out by the smell of the room but it just needed a little ventilation. So crack open a Window and turn on that ac high cool. And turn the nob to vent open.
Then onto the covers. I lifted it up and immediately felt like I needed a shower and was scared to sleep in it but I was so tired I hopped in after a quick shower. It wasn’t too bad. This is probably nasty to say but after the first night I got used to it and thought it wasn’t too bad.
Next was the shower. After two nights the drain started clogging up. It didn’t bother me too much cause I let the water rise a bit to soak my feet after a day of walking. I love how the water got hot fast.
Don’t forget to stop by for some complimentary breakfast in the morning from 6 am to 9 am in the room behind the main desk. They have cereal, orange juice, apple juice, toast, coffee, and my favorite. fresh waffles. Tip: ask for the butter spray for when you make the waffles. It helps out a lot!
All in all. This inn wasnt too bad. It’s nothing like the hilton or the fairmont. You have to keep in mind that you didn’t book a 4 star hotel.

Thought it was a good ideal and save some money. Don’t do it. My room had to have been a crime scene… SMH!!! Please look at those pictures. Public health have been notified.

Ok. My fault for booking wrong days inn. Their is a cleaner nicer one down the street. Beds look gross. Older out dated. Needs makeover. Though we paid in full before arriving still made us do a deposit. Breakfast? There are 4 dining tables. Today was cereal. Toast.apples.waffles. pool is tiny. dirty hot tub is green. Laundry facilities is 2 washers and 1 dryer. Outside at pool.
Won’t stay again. And sadly can’t move hotels.

*AVOID STAYING HERE*
Stayed here for our 5 day family trip from NorCal. Read and the reviews and was very scared of what I was about to walk into. The reviews are accurate when they say this place is falling apart and is absolutely unsanitary. The sheets have stains, the mattress plus the box spring have what looks to be blood stains. (Will be posting pics) The only lights that work in the room are the bathroom lights and the vanity mirror light. Wifi worked most of the time so that was a plus since reviews mentioned that wifi only worked at the front office.
Went to buy ART bus basses to get to Disneyland and back from this lady, who appeared to be a supervisor/​manager. She is a larger lady and has a horrible attitude toward the customers of the hotel. Be aware of her!
It looks they try their best to minimize spending money on necessities to keep the clients happy; cleaning the rooms thoroughly, the appearance of the hotel itself, have old, dirty, stained beds, and much much more. I feel there are not many customers who return to this location and they probably make their revenue from the suckers, like myself, who stay here for vacation trying out this hotel.

El hotel esta bien pasable y comodo solo para dormir y descansar no hay mucho k hacer y la alberca descuidada lo malo
