Hotel Indigo Anaheim

The things I loved about this hotel: it’s clean, the employees are nice, the décor is lovely, free underground parking, Aveda toiletries, spa shower, half a mile walk from DISNEYLAND!
Things I didn’t love: Since I had a bedroom off the alley I could hear people walking and talking down the alley late at night, cars driving down the alley late at night, first thing in the morning construction starts up, the blinds on the window down shut out the light. Getting a good night’s sleep here was tough. But if you’re a heavy sleeper all this would be a nonissue. I’m a light sleeper so even with earplugs in I could hear everything. :(

We were in town for Disneyland and my wife was looking for something close to the park, clean, and a decent price. This place fit the bill on all of those marks! Granted, it’s not super close to the park, but it’s a 15 – 20 minute walk, which we didn’t mind at all.
As for the rooms, the place seemed pretty modern and hip. It was nice we had a fridge in the room, the beds were comfy, and the décor/​furniture seemed good as well. It was also nice that there were some restaurants and a CVS nearby so we could grab some essentials. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to stay near Disneyland!

Great value and location next to the Anaheim Garden Walk complex (with great dining options!) and… the Disneyland Resort!
I was able to be upgraded to a room which had a view to the Disneyland Fireworks!
Shower had a wane and shower head… took a little while to use! Hot water took forever!

Pros:
(1) The décor (inside and outside) are nice;
(2) The employees are friendly;
(3) The room was clean;
(4) within walking distance to Disneyland/​Downtown Disney/​California Adventure;
(5) Next door to Anaheim Garden Walk (full of restaurants); and
(6) Across the street from CVS/​Pharmacy.
Cons:
(1) Soundproofing sucks; and
(2) Only one elevator to service the 4 levels of room as well as the parking in the basement and it moves so slooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.

We had a good stay at Hotel Indigo and would stay again! The pros definitely outweighed the cons:
PROS:
–Within walking distance from Disneyland, CVS and Joe’s Italian Ice.
–Free parking and wifi.
–Clean facilities.
–Comfortable bed.
–Small pool and hot tub, which we didn’t get a chance to use but looked nice.
CONS:
–The walls are as thin as people say! Thankfully we didn’t hear children crying much. The flooring is also thin. The people above our room literally STOMED around at odd hours in the night and morning.
–The checkin and checkout process takes a long time for some reason… I felt like I waited an unusually long time.

My boyfriend and I stayed here during Halloween weekend Sat-​Mon. We’ve stayed at the Hotel Indigo in San Diego earlier this year and they were by far so much better than this one here.
Check in was great. The two Asian female front desk agents (sorry didn’t get their names) were friendly and checked us in efficiently and they were pleasant… great customer service. Our room was on the 4^th floor… in the 400 wing… with fireworks view. That’s as good as it got for us.
–1 star for the dirty wooden floors. By the end of day one, my boyfriend’s socks were black. That didn’t happened with Hotel Indigo San Diego. Even though I wipe everything down with Lysol wipes, the nightstand still reeked of some weird ointment scent. Not peppermint-​y like Bengay… but like some India decent ointment. I can smell it even though I was 2 feet away from that nightstand. Yuck!
–1 star for the thin walls. If you’re a light sleeper and by chance, your neighbors consist of a crying baby and inconsiderate families who don’t know how to use their indoor voices as they shout at each other in the hallways… then you’re out of luck. Keep in mind, these neighbors were NOT next to us… they were at least 4 – 5 rooms DOWN THE HALLWAY. And we were still able to hear them… loud and clear. I understand babies are unpredictable but those loud adults were unacceptable. This all happened around 6am. Learn to be considerate and stop shouting. I suggest you bring earplugs or hope you don’t have loud neighbors.
I’ve been in hotel rooms with thicker walls at most Holiday Inns!!!
And worst of all…
–1 star. GNATS. (refer to pictures) Not just one… or two… but at one point, I’ve counted 6 in our room!!! SIX FLYING ANNOYING GNATS!!! One in the living room area, three hanging around the front door, one above the closet, and one above the shower stall. WTF DUDE!!! And our window was closed shut during our entire stay. I should have removed 2 more stars alone because of this! I’ve never seen that many gnats in a hotel room like that… and I’ve stayed in less than ideal hotels like Luxor, Stratosphere and Excalibur. Holiday Inn in Garden Grove wasn’t the cleanest but at least they didn’t have flying gnats in the rooms. This is unacceptable.
Wifi was spotty… we got lukewarm water in the shower on the first night… plus like how one other review had mentioned: our room always had a very strong chemical scent. I’m beginning to think did someone die in the room before I checked in!!! =O Why else would it smell so strong of chemicals and gnats hanging around everywhere in here!!!
Giving them 3 stars is considered generous. This Hotel Indigo is a poor representation of their brand and their claims of being «boutique» hotel. We had high hopes for this place since we had a perfect stay at the one in San Diego… but in the end… we were completely let down. Next time I’m going to Disneyland… I’ll stay at either the Holiday Inn in Orange or the one further down in Costa Mesa.

Thanks to my friend’s recommendation, I’m now hip to what seems to be the only «boutique» hotel in the immediate area of Disneyland. Considering any other place on this strip was either a dated motor-​lodge or a big chain hotel, I consider this to be one of the best, most affordable options.
They didn’t have the Kind bed room I requested, but the two queens option was spacious and he gave me the top floor in the corner. When you stay at as many hotels as I do, you kind of know what to look for, and for the most part they had it covered — easily accessible outfits, a comfortable and clean bed, soaps and towels galore and good water pressure in the shower. The only negative was the almost overpowering antiseptic smell of industrial cleaners whenever I entered my room. It forced me to open the window and soak in the sound of traffic and construction across the street on a balmy fall day.
The front desk staff was nice and accommodating and there is a convenient spot to grab drinks, snacks and sandwiches at any hour. If I’m back in the area, this will be my first choice.

Stayed here for one day while out of town. The place was clean and I even got a credit because the price I paid for the hotel went down a week later.
They have a comfy bed, flat-​screen TV and even a alarm clock that can charge your idevice. I liked the location of the hotel, made it convenient to hit up restaurants and stores.
Only word of caution, don’t get a room near the ice machine. You will be hearing that all day and all night.

We stayed here for 3 nights during our Anaheim visit mainly due to its reasonable pricing and close proximity to Disneyland/​CA Adventures parks. We found and booked this place based on recommendations from Trip Advisor and Unilocal.We were fortunate to get room 430 which offered the best possible of Disneyland park. From our window, we were able to see the Hollywood Tower Hotel (Twilight Zone Tower of Terror) and the surprisingly the nighttime fireworks show! Conservatively, the walking time from our hotel room to Disney’s main gate including traffic lights, crowds, and security checks is anywhere from 15 – 20 minutes. The travel time is with a baby in stroller with diaper bags and backpacks.
The room itself was a delight. The floors were wood which was a pleasant surprise (we’ve learn from experience that carpet makes it easier to «hide» things). From what we observed, the cleaning staff did a above average job tidying up our room and kept the hotel well kept and clean. All of the room’s appliances functioned properly and we did not have any issues with the sink, shower, toilet, or air conditioner. The front lobby staff were friendly and answered all of our questions. Check-​in and check-​out, billing, and other misc issues were non-​existent.
The pool and Jacuzzi was very clean. Pool side towels were adequately stocked. We did not use the gym during our stay but it featured standard «hotel gym» equipments.
Parking was in a secured underground parking lot and we were not charged extra. Room key was required to enter the lot.
Overall a great value for what we paid. We can see why Hotel Indigo is one of the top hotels in the Disneyland area. We would stay here again if we came back to the area.

If you’ve never experience a restful night at a Indigo Hotel you owe it to yourself to give them a try. This fairly new member of the Holiday Inn family of hotels in comparison to the aging hotel chains dotting the landscape across the country, Indigo has taken it to the next level since opening its first property in Atlanta in 2004. I became a fan after my very first stay they seem to embody everything one would hope a mid priced hotel would be. The cult like following is only surpassed by the culture that seems to be adopted by every employee I’ve met. Their business model evidently attracts some of the top hospitality talent no matter what market they enter and their focus on customer service is some of the best I’ve witnessed anywhere.
We arrived about 6:30 pm after driving up from San Diego having just stay at the Indigo in he Gaslamp District the night before, check in was a breeze the room was ready, the staff at the front desk very friendly and really showed their appreciate for us making the decision to choose Indigo. After having my newly acquired Spire Elite status with IGH recognized our room was upgraded and we were presented with a pair of very thoughtful check-​in gifts. Our ride up the glass lined elevator to the top floor was certainly a great first impression as well, our 4^th floor room was spacious, had laminate floors (so much better than the musty unsanitary carpeted room found at so many hotels), two very comfortable queen beds, and a couch area with coffee table plus a desk with great lighting and a great view of the nightly fireworks display at Disney at 9:30 PM. The bathroom was just as amazing, with a huge glass walk in shower a huge mural on the wall, it all had very clean and fresh contemporary feel to it.
The hotel is within a very short walk to a strip of nice restaurants that are lively and seems to be a very popular, the area has a very safe feel to it there is also a CVS located in the opposite direction of the restaurants. They have limited but free parking above ground parking which is quite a perk these days and also room key accessible underground parking which I prefer with elevator access. The hotel wifi is also included and seemed to be lightening fast.
I really hope this chain continues to expand its presence I know I will continue to look for them no matter where my travels take me.

This is definitely one of the nicer Hotel Indigos I’ve stayed at… After previous stays at both the one in Scottsdale and the one in NYC, this location exceeded my expectations. I’d consider both of the others to be worthy of 3 stars.
Hotel Indigo Anaheim, however, provided extremely friendly service from the moment I arrived. Khalil at the front was super pleasant and customer service oriented… definitely an asset to this hotel.
My room was spacious and clean and I am a fan of the Aveda products in the restroom. My bed was comfortable and I slept well both nights as well. The rate was moderate and well beneath my company hotel budget, which is another huge plus.
All of that being said, there were a few things worth sharing that weren’t huge selling points:
–the bed was creaky
–the walls were thin; I could hear crying babies and kids running throughout the duration of my stay
–the workout room has a stationary bike, a precor machine, two treadmills, and one weight machine; pretty minimal, but better than nothing.
Even with the cons I listed, this hotel was a bargain. I’d absolutely return next visit to Anaheim, especially if it’s for work. Admittedly, I’ll probably splurge on a more kid-​appropriate hotel if I come with the family, as we hope to visit the «happiest place on Earth» sometime soon!

I haven’t even stayed here yet but I called to extend our stay by one day since I couldn’t figure it out online and the woman who I spoke with was extremely friendly and helpful. That is becoming a lost art so I really appreciate excellent customer service. Thank you!
So excited to stay in just a few days!

The man and I had a nice stay here in June. The staff was friendly every time we interacted with them — both the front desk and housekeeping. Check-​in was simple and convenient.
The room was nice and clean with decent beds and modern decorations. The bathroom was amazing, the kind you want to build in a dream house (Aveda toilettries, and a huge shower with a tall shower head and removable shower head on the wall, which included a bidet.)
The TV has all the channels, which is not always the case at all hotels. Food Network is a MUST during my hotel stays. The room has a pretty large mini-​fridge, but no microwave, so you won’t be re-​heating your leftovers. The location was great, close to Disney and a 24-​hour CVS. Parking was free, but it’s a little inconvenient when entering late at night.
The only complaint I really have is that the A/​C seemed faulty. It only blew air in one spot on the nearest bed. The rest of the room was hot, while that one person was being frozen. It also kept shutting off before the room would cool down.
It was a good hotel, but I probably wouldn’t come back unless I was going to Disneyland, since I don’t want to pay extra for the location.

Nice hotel with just a few minor flaws.
— Hannah at the front desk was very friendly and check-​in was a breeze. We felt welcomed.
— The room was nice, with modern décor, a very nice bathroom, and very comfortable beds.
— The TV has all the channels; not just some of them. (This was a problem in other hotels.)
— The bathroom is very nice, and they use Aveda products. The shower is excellent, and there is a bidet in the shower.
— The walls are not too thin. I didn’t hear any clucking or moaning.
— Spacious mini-​fridge, but no microwave to re-​heat your leftovers.
— There is a CVS half a block away that is open 24 hours.
— I hated the AC in the room. When you turn it on, it blasts very cold air in one little spot, which is on the bed. Anyone laying there would feel cold within a couple of minutes while the rest of the room would not feel anything.
Then the AC simply turns off before it reaches your desired temperature. I set it to 68 and it kept turning off at 76. WTF?
— I liked that the parking was free, but it is a pain to enter the parking lot after hours.
Overall, I would stay here again. But it is close to Disneyland so if you are not there to go to Disneyland, you will be paying a little more just for that.

So fresh and so clean! Modern décor and amenities, wood floors, huge pebble stone tiled walk in shower, flat screen tv, Keurig coffee maker, mini fridge, comfy beds, and Aveda bath products. Nice!
The Hotel Indigo was a wonderful stay! Friendly staff, easy check in and smooth check out. Parking & WiFi included with hotel price. Secured on site parking garage. We felt safe during our 4 day stay.
There is a cute Bistro in the hotel with breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. We had a lovely breakfast one morning. Excellent service and yummy food. Try the breakfast burrito, it is huge! And the coffee is brewed to perfection.
Close to The Garden Walk Center (Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang, Bubba Gump, etc.) Best of all, it’s just a 10 minute walk to Disneyland!
My only gripe is the heater/​AC units in the rooms. Hard to control, it was either super hot or frigid cold! The thermostat didn’t seem to work properly.
This Disney junkie will definitely stay here again!

Pros: Close to Disneyland, it is about a 10 minute walk to the front gate. Free parking. Friendly staff. You can currently (I believe up to May 21^st, 2015) buy discounted Disneyland tickets from them! We saved about $ 40 on two 2-​day — 1 Park Tickets! Clean modern room. Close to Garden Walk shopping center, about a 5 minute walk. Good sized comfy beds. Fridge in room. Lots of TV channels. Aveda toiletries (Rose Mint Scent!) Bathroom was awesome complete with hair dryer. Comfy solid beds. We stayed in room 210 and had an amazing view of the fireworks. Free wifi
Cons: No microwave in room (however the bar in the lobby was more than happy to heat up my food for me and provide me wht eating utensils.
Overall, I absolutely LOVED my stay at Hotel Indigo. I’ve stayed at many of the «good neighbor» Disneyland hotels, but this hotel is by far my favorite. Hannah and the other front desk person (he was working on May 2^nd in the afternoon) was SO helpful, and provided me excellent service. Very professional and helpful. I felt I was given the «Disney» treatment even though I wasn’t staying at a Disney hotel.
Were so happy we celebrated our anniversary here, this is definitely our «go to» hotel. I highly recommend this place.

So happy I did my research and found this place on the 4^th page of Expedia results! Seriously, what a little gem. Newly renovated, art deco, modern interior & exterior design and super clean. Every single staff member that we encountered was more than helpful and very friendly! And hardwood floors in a hotel? I know it’s not real hardwood, but still! Fannnn SEE! In addition, and these are huge, there was a mini fridge in the room, free parking, free Wi-​Fi, Aveda bath products and a locking bathroom door. WHAT? You won’t find locking bathroom doors in Marriott’s or Hiltons. Truth.
I have to take away one star from perfection only because the walls just seemed a little thin and the pool was small, but those are minor things! I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a clean, safe room just a 10-​minute walk away from Disneyland.

We recently stayed here on a trip to Orange County and Disneyland.
Overall, this property (part of IHG) was an excellent value! The staff at the front desk was accommodating and friendly throughout our stay. Parking below the hotel is free with your stay.
Our room was clean, modern, and comfortable. Mattress quality was decent to great, and the modern bathroom was a bonus.
Everything here was simple but homey– they offer a full package of TV channels and free WiFi.
Breakfast downstairs was surprisingly decent and convenient. The small gym across from the pool was also pleasant.
My only minor complaints are the small (and somewhat uninviting) lobby and the single, super slow elevator.
Hotel Indigo is definitely a great value and a must stay for a Disneyland visit!

Pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my stay here. Stayed for 3 nights on a Disneyland trip and split a room with 4 people.
Pros:
1. Nice employees/​good service– I actually didn’t have that much contact with any of the guest representatives because my boyfriend was the one that booked and handled everything but there were no complaints
2. Really clean/​newly renovated rooms– I was surprised walking into my room bc the lobby and room hallways weren’t anything special. The rooms have wooden floors, very neat bathroom with a double shower head, and a modern look to the whole room.
3. Aveda toiletries!!!
4. About 2 blocks away from DISNEYLAND
5. Free wifi/​AND free parking which is a big deal for hotels in this area
6. Comfy bed/​pillows and soft towels (none of that hard and starchy nonsense you get at cheap hotels)
Cons:
1. The only negative thing I could think of was that the pool area is located outside and you have to walk through the lobby in your swimsuit to get there. This was why I never made it to the pool during my stay.
Overall, this is a pretty small and cute place to stay if you’re going on a family disney trip, business, or anything honestly! This isn’t a grand/​fancy resort but if you have some type of maintenance level and on a budget like me, this place is for you! Looking forward to my next Disney trip so I can stay here!

Awesome! The people at the front desk were so friendly and offered us a larger room for the same price!
I guess this place was ungraded recently. I liked it.
Even the pullout couch was comfortable even though it was ‘springy’ like most pullout couches.
Free coffee in room
Refrigerator
Pretty and spacious bathroom
Underground parking with security gate
Close to Disneyland
