Family Friendly

Great place to take a family! Rooms were large, had two bathrooms so two people could shower at the same time. The sink was in a separate area and there were two of them too! The free breakfast was EXCELLENT!!!

Family friendly

The personnel at Desert Palms were very helpful with answering our questions. It was a very easy check in & out also. The location was only a block to get the shuttle to the Disneyland Park. The room had adequate space for hanging clothes and 2 suitcase stands. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the cup of coffee supplied after along day at Disneyland.

love this hotel

our stay at this hotel was great. the room was clean and comfortable. we have two kids, 8 & 2. my 8yr old used the desk for homework, and i was satisfied enough to let my 2yr old take baths. i'm very particular and nit-pick at a lot of things, but this hotel was not one of those things. Downtown Disney & Disneyland is right around the corner, but of course we drove for the kids. And even when leaving early, we could see the fireworks from the top floor. one thing i really liked about the hotel was the laundry facility. there were only two washers and dryers, but they were a big help. the staff was helpful and courteous and always smiled when we passed. one thing i will point out is that some of the staff members have a little trouble with english, so knowing a few words in spanish helps. but all-in-all we really enjoyed our stay at the desert palms hotel & suites.

Desert Palm is newly renovated,except for the lobby. Rooms are a generious size.This hotel is a great value for it's proximity to Disney(1 walking block).I walked the teenagers to the park everyday ,and picked them up by car in the Disney pickup area at night,which was also 1 block away.

worth the money

I was very impressed with the Deseret Palms Hotel. The money we spent was worth it, they serve a hot buffet breakfast which saved our family a ton of money (it was free). It is within walking distance from Disneyland, the rooms were clean and nice.The staff was great, they delivered extra pillows with in 15 minutes of asking for them. We will stay there again. The pool and hot tub were also a great ammenity.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

There is a discount ticket store about 1.5 blocks towards disneyland, they matched disneylands park hopper price, but we saved money on the San Diego Zoo tickets, and they gave us each a $5.00 coupon to the coffee shop next door. And with the 25.00 in coupons we got hot chocolates and ice cream bars.

Great place to stay if you are headed to Disneyland!

The Desert Palms Hotel & Suites is a great hotel! Very upscale lobby/check in area, nice pool & spa adjacent to the lobby. Convenient for Disneyland stays, as there is a shuttle that picks up from in front of the hotel, and its the first drop off spot from disneyland! The hotel staff is very helpful, I spent almost 20 minutes on the phone with a front desk employee to ask questions about where the locals go for a good dinner, and they were GREAT about it! The room was a great value for the money, with a safe available in the closet (which is also hidden by a full length mirror), there is an in-room refridgerator.. and best of all, it was a comfortable, quiet and friendly hotel. I would definately recommend this hotel to a friend, and I plan on staying there for my next disneyland trip!

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

If you are going to Disneyland, you can save money by leaving your car at the hotel (even after you check out of the hotel, you can leave your car there till midnight!), buy the $3 shuttle ticket from the front desk, and save from having to pay the expensive parking at Disneyland!

great locatation

Desert Palms is a great place to stay if you are heading to Disneyland. It is just a short walk up the street. Breaksfast was good with many choices ie:scrambled eggs, susage,hot cereal. cold cereal, danish, juice and milk. plenty to fill you up for the morings activies at Disneyland. If you turn in early you can go up to the 5th floor and watch the firewroks! There is also a 7 Eleven and a Mini Mart next door for any treats and drinks you may need. There is also a great Mexican place and Pizza shop across the street for dinner that have great prices.

very family friendly

We like this hotel. it was our first time staying at it and it was too close from Disneyland. In general the room and the hotel were very clean. If we go again we will stay at the same hotel again.
