We did a staycay at the Westin Anaheim Resort, and we were glad we did. We were upgraded from a king bed room to a studio due to my Gold status w/ Marriott. The studio was very nice.
We were welcomed w/ Pellegrino flavored waters, macarons, mandarins and 4 bottles of regular water. The latter were in addition to the 2 bottles we received while checking in. The room is large w/ a four seat table as you walk in, a living room area to the right w/ a TV on a pedestal. You can spin the TV around and watch fr the living area or bed. Lastly, the bathroom was quite large and had two sinks.
I was still getting aroung via a knee scooter due to a recent surgery, and I was pleased at the handicap access. You simply press a bar, and doors open up for you. In addition, the gym is handicap friendly and massive. Its the best hotel gym I have ever been in.
The resort is walking distance to Disneyland, California Adventure and the Convention Center. We did not go to Disneyland, but we could see the fireworks from our lanai.
The food options are numerous, including a coffee & gift shop, all day dining, bar dining, a rooftop bar, as well as a Flemings and Puesto. You don't have to leave the property, if you don't want to.
Despite the 5 Star rating, there was a couple of areas I'd like to see improved. We were supposed to receive early check in. However, the room was not ready when we arrived around 1:30ish. The room was not ready until about 2:45. The foregoing was offset by the upgrade, but it would have been nice to have the room earlier.
Another minor rec is to put the mouthwash & lotion in larger, secured dispensers similar to the soap, shampoo & conditioner. The foregoing will promote greeness, and do away the tiny containers that are meant for one person.
All in all, a well deserved 5 Star stay. I can't wait to upgrade to Marriott Platinum, so that I can obtain more bennies when I travel.
