Location
The Cambria Hotel is about one mile away from the Disneyland Resort, so all it takes is a quick shuttle or Uber/Lyft ride to the parks or you can go just down the street on Katella to the Toy Story Lot and go through security there and take their shuttle to the parks. There are several restaurants surrounding the hotel like The Habit Burger Grill, Luna Grill, Ono Hawaiian BBQ, Starbucks, Jersey Mikes, and more that are just on the other side of the parking lot of the hotel. The freeway on ramp is also right next to the hotel so you can quickly jump on the freeway to get to other locations like Knott’s Berry Farm, an Angel’s Game, the beach, and other nearby locations.
Honest Review of the Hotel
During my stay, I stayed in a 2 Queen, Sofa Bed One Bedroom Suite and I loved the room. For a family, this would be more than enough space for everyone and the mini kitchen is a huge thing for me to have in a room. I really loved the double showers in the room which would be highly convenient if you have multiple people who are trying to get ready at the same time. When I travel, I rarely use any dressers or anything like that to store my clothes, I just keep them in my suitcase but if you are someone who likes to pull their clothes out, each room does have a closet you can use but that is really the only storage in the room so that is one thing to keep in mind when you stay here.
One of my favorite features of this hotel is the extra level of security that they have in place. This was my first trip on my own so I was a little worried about being in a room by myself, but at the Cambria you have to have a hotel key to use the elevator, so no one can use the elevators and go up to the upper floors unless they are a hotel guest which I really liked. You also have to have a room key to pull in and out of the parking lot. I loved how close the ART shuttle stop was to the hotel and my feet were so happy to not have to do a long walk home after long park days. Initially I was worried about the distance from the park, but honestly it wasn’t even an issue at all, I actually loved using the shuttle to get back instead of being close enough to walk.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I have wanted to try this hotel since it was built and I was so happy to finally get to experience it. It’s clean, roomy, modern, and has everything you could need in a hotel. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone booking a Disneyland vacation, whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, or as a family, this hotel is the perfect place to stay!
