NOISE. SMELLS. REGRET.
My wife and I stayed at Hotel Maguerite in Anaheim for four nights during our Disneyland honeymoon, booked into the King Suite, supposedly one of their best rooms. This hotel is cheap, looks modern from the outside, and that is where the positives end.
The staff was consistently disorganized. The pool often had no towels. Breakfast food was stale or spoiled. When issues were raised, responses were dismissive or made no sense, suggesting poor management rather than isolated mistakes.
This hotel feels locked down like a prison. You need a key card for nearly everything — even to exit the parking garage. Instead of feeling secure, it feels restrictive and irritating.
The pool and hot tub was dirty and yellow. The hot tub is awkwardly deep; my wife (5’5”) had water up to her neck while seated. After about 20 minutes, she developed itching and a rash from the heavy chemicals. Anyone with sensitive skin or children should avoid it.
Getting to the room is unpleasant. The hallways reek of air freshener attempting — and failing — to mask smells of vomit, dirty diapers, and old carpet. Stepping off the elevator, the odor is immediate and unmistakable.
The room itself looks fine at first glance but quickly falls apart. The walls are extremely thin; traffic, crying babies, and slamming doors are constant. The doors auto-slam shut, making sleep nearly impossible. The king bed had queen-sized sheets, forcing us to fight for covers all night. There is more, but i bad.
