EXTENDED STAY AMERICA SUITES - ORANGE COUNTY - ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER
About the Castle Hotel
Extended Stay America Suites - Orange County - Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim - Practical Comfort Near the Magic
For travelers seeking a functional base in the heart of Anaheim's entertainment district, the Extended Stay America Suites presents a sensible, no-frills option. It's a property that understands its purpose: to provide comfortable, extended stays with essential amenities for those prioritizing proximity to major attractions and convention facilities over opulent indulgence. This establishment has cemented its reputation as a reliable choice for business travelers and families alike, offering a straightforward approach to accommodation.
Location
Situated just a 10-minute walk from the Disneyland Monorail and a mere 5 minutes from the House of Blues Anaheim, the hotel's location is undeniably its strongest asset. For those attending events, the Anaheim Convention Center is within easy reach. Beyond the immediate vicinity, Orange County unfolds as a diverse playground, offering a spectrum of beaches, ballparks, and the perennial allure of theme parks such as Knott's Berry Farm, a cornerstone of family entertainment since 1928. While immediate views might not be the primary draw, the convenience to world-class attractions is unparalleled.
Style and Character
The Extended Stay America Suites embraces a functional, contemporary aesthetic. The atmosphere is geared towards practicality and ease, eschewing ornate décor for clean lines and efficient design. Each of the 124 air-conditioned suites is designed to feel like a home away from home, prioritizing space and utility. While it doesn't aim for the grandeur of resort properties, it offers a clean and orderly environment that appeals to those who value comfort and convenience.
Service and Facilities
This hotel provides a solid array of services to support extended stays. Guests benefit from complimentary WiFi throughout public areas and within rooms, a crucial element for both business and leisure. On-site laundry facilities, available by the day, week, or month, add significant convenience. A year-round outdoor swimming pool offers a pleasant respite, complemented by complimentary guest parking. The 24-hour front desk ensures assistance is always on hand, and while a full-service restaurant is absent, the grab-and-go breakfast provides a convenient start to the day. A nearby fitness facility offers discounted access for guests.
Rooms
The 124 spacious suites are the heart of the Extended Stay America experience. Each air-conditioned room comes equipped with a flat-screen TV featuring premium channels, and crucially, a fully equipped kitchen complete with a stovetop, refrigerator, and cookware. This culinary setup is a significant advantage for longer stays, allowing for meal preparation and cost savings. While entry-level rooms feature essential comforts like air conditioning and heating, and some offer desks, the kitchens are a universal highlight. Personally, I find this level of in-room utility sets it apart for families or those on extended business trips.
Food and Drink
Mornings at the Extended Stay America Suites begin with a complimentary grab-and-go breakfast. This offering typically includes breakfast bars, muffins, hot cereal, coffee, and tea - a simple yet effective way to fuel up before a day of exploration or meetings. For other meals, the fully equipped in-room kitchens provide the flexibility to dine in. While there are no on-site restaurants, the proximity to Anaheim's vast dining scene means countless options are just a short journey away.
Value for Money
Extended Stay America Suites positions itself as a value-driven option, particularly for longer durations. The inclusion of full kitchens, complimentary WiFi, and on-site laundry services can translate into significant savings compared to traditional hotels, especially for families or groups. Weekly cleaning services, which encompass dusting, vacuuming, trash removal, and bathroom and kitchen cleaning, further enhance the feeling of value for guests staying seven days or more. It's a pragmatic choice for those who prioritize cost-effectiveness and essential amenities.
Accessibility
The hotel thoughtfully provides accessibility features for guests with disabilities. Notably, guests requiring it can request bed frame removal to lower the surface of the bed. Such requests need to be communicated no later than forty-eight hours prior to arrival, with the staff accommodating these modifications within seventy-two hours, even if the period includes holidays or weekends. This attention to detail ensures a more comfortable and accommodating stay for all.
Family-Friendly
This property is well-suited for families, particularly those who appreciate the convenience of in-room kitchens for preparing meals and snacks. The outdoor swimming pool offers a simple but enjoyable recreational activity for younger guests. Its proximity to major theme parks like Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm makes it a practical choice for families planning multi-day visits, allowing them to balance the excitement of the parks with the comfort of a functional living space.
