The 105-room Ramada Plaza
Anaheim is a mid-range property with a magnificent fountain that’s less than a
15-minute walk to Disneyland attractions, restaurants, the Anaheim GardenWalk, and
the Anaheim Convention Center. Traditional-style rooms come with microwaves,
coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and granite countertops. While the decor is typical chain hotel, the vibe is personal -- with a manager who knew every guest's name when we visited. The outdoor pool and hot tub have plenty of greenery, and there's a popular Indian restaurant on-site, along with a small fitness center with a handful of cardio machines and a sauna, and a business center. Wi-Fi and underground garage parking are free, although there's a fee to use the local-area shuttle.
Scene
A traditional chain hotel with a lovely fountain and friendly atmosphere
A beautiful large stone
fountain resides at the entrance of the Ramada Plaza Anaheim, while the lobby has bright lighting and soft,
comfortable seating. An upbeat, homey vibe emanates throughout the hotel. Free newspapers and coffee and tea are available all day. Gold and red drapes, red patterned carpet, and wood chairs and tables
adorn the popular Gandhi Palace Restaurant, whose ceiling is painted to look like
the sky. The black granite bar has purple-toned lighting, but the tube-style TV hanging from the wall gives it a down-home casual feel. Given its proximity to Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center, the hotel draws families and business travelers.
Location
Wonderful central location with several top sights within a 15-minute walk
The Ramada Plaza Anaheim is
on heavily trafficked Katella Avenue, but the sidewalk is beautifully landscaped and pedestrian-friendly -- the Anaheim GardenWalk and Anaheim
Convention Center are within a five-minute stroll of the hotel. Disneyland, Disney California
Adventure Park, Downtown Disney, restaurants, and convenience stores are within a
15-minute walk, while the American Sports Center, Grove of
Anaheim, and Angel Stadium are within a five-minute drive. The Honda Center is a 10-minute drive, while John Wayne Airport can be reached in about 25 minutes.
Rooms
Clean rooms with chain-style decor, mini-fridges, microwaves, and granite
Rooms have patterned black or tan carpets, red pillows and bed runners, and red armchairs.

countertops, and shower/tub combos. San Francisco Soap Company toiletries are provided.
Features
Delightful outdoor pool and hot tub, plus popular on-site Indian restaurant and bar
The hotel's lovely outdoor pool
and hot tub are surrounded by
trees and shrubs, with a few loungers on the deck. The Gandhi Palace Restaurant serves an American-style breakfast but traditional Indian cuisine at lunch and dinner. There's an on-site bar offering cocktails and
beer. The 24-hour business center has two computers, a printer,
and leather desk chairs, while the small fitness center has a sauna and a handful of cardio machines. Room and concierge services are on-site, and there's free outdoor parking along with underground garage parking. Wi-Fi is free, but there's a fee
for the local area shuttle, and room service is available only for lunch and dinner.
