Direct access to California Adventure Park from the hotel courtyard is a huge bonus. Disneyland access is through Downtown Disney 5 minutes away. The rooms are serviceable but, don't match the price. The bath towels need to be retired to a motel. I understand COVID is still a reality but they need to return to real glassware and ditch the plastic cups wrapped in plastic.. There also needs to be a place to access fresh water from a tap instead of buying bottled water. We all slept relatively well on the 2 beds and the balcony was a wonderful place to get some fresh air and admire the lights of the Park.

You pay for the location which was a huge plus for us, family with young kids and elderly. I would repeat this hotel again for the location. Easy access to the disney downtown, a nice place to spend evenings and take a stroll at night after dinner. Walking distance from the two parks. Making it easier to come back to the hotel for a bit of rest and then head back up. The pool area in the hotel was a great place to spend an evening as well. Above is pretty much the only good thing about this hotel at this price. Everything else was below value for money. Food, rooms, service, etc. This hotel can be so much more if only Disney paid more attention to the hotel part of it.

It was a wonderful, magical experience for my grandchildren. We did wish they provided a simple courtesy coffee/tea station in the lobby, as we have become accustomed to in most hotels. As an early awake grandma, I did not want to wake the kids, so I would dress quietly and head to the lobby to read or rock in front of the fire. But no cafes were open, so I had to hike out through the property and across Disneyland Dr. to buy hot chocolate at Paradise Pier. (No option for tea there.). Would be so simple to add a simply coffee and tea station.

Great hotel. We had a room directly above the monorail which was really cool to see while hanging on the balcony. The staff were attentive and very nice. Unfortunately due to covid daily housekeeping is still not in effect but I believe that is the norm within the industry at the moment. It was my first time visiting Disneyland so the simplicity of walking out of the hotel and into the park was great. Loved watching the band playing the lobby during the evenings as well.

Can I exit California adventure to Disneyland rd through the hotel if I’m not staying at the hotel?

fabvalenz 909 | Mar 25, 2022
Jessica B. | Mar 25, 2022

Everyone can use the DCA exit through the hotel. The Grand Californian doesn't have an entrance directly to Disneyland like it does to DCA. You will have to go through security again and enter Downtown Disney through the hotel's entrance, which will have you enter the downtown area in the middle of the shopping district. It would be quicker to exit DCA through the main entrance and walk to Disneyland from there.

You would have to go to the website to check which parks are on the schedule for that day. Sometimes it's both, and then you could choose, but most of the time it's only one of the parks. Most of the time it's either Disneyland or California Adventure.

Disneyland does not accomodate pets for hotel guests. The kennel club is only $20 per day for daytime (park visit) only. Yelp reviews is at 4. Must have all vaccinations up to date with copy from your vet, which is standard. You would need to find a doggie hotel nearby for overnight.
