I would highly recommend the Best Western Plus Anaheim Orange County Hotel to everyone. Our room was clean, spacious enough and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was good and the ladies who served the breakfast were so nice. The price was very fair. Thank you for a great experience!
