Fodor's "The most opulent of Disney's Anaheim hotels, this Craftsman-style luxury property has guest rooms with views of the California Adventure park and Downtown Disney." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The price tag is a bit steep at this 751-room resort designed in richly wooded Craftsman style, but standard rooms sleep up to two adults and four kids."
Frommer's "Disney didn't miss the details when constructing this enormous version of an Arts and Crafts-era lodge... hiring craftspeople... to contribute one-of-a-kind tiles, furniture, sculpture, and artwork." Full review
Jetsetter "Disney's Grand Californian is the first hotel to be built inside a Disney park, and the American Craftsman hotel combines luxe amenities with family fun — and function." Full review

If you want to avoid lines, book The Magic Morning package offered to guests of the three Disneyland Resort hotels that lets you into the park an hour before the official 8 A.M. opening.
Lonely Planet "Soaring timber beams rise above the cathedral-like lobby of the six-story Grand Californian, Disney’s homage to the Arts and Crafts architectural movement."
Travel + Leisure "Disneyland's choicest digs, done in traditional Craftsman style. In addition to kid- and adult-friendly fare, California Adventure Park is just a turnstile away. Everybody wins." Full review
Time Out "This Disney hotel aims to blur the lines between luxury and fantasy: the 745-room property is effectively an extension to Disney's California Adventure." Full review
Michelin Guide "Built in early 20C Craftsman style, this hotel is reminiscent of the great national-park lodges."
Star Service "Service is friendly, but ebbs and flows like the tide. Nevertheless, effort is always on the table, and there's nothing the staff won't do to please." Full review
Gayot "This luxury hotel redefines the Disneyland you know and love by providing top quality, even lavish accommodations for discerning theme park guests."

Request one of the "27 series" rooms, which are junior suites that are larger and have the best views.
Fodor's "You might have a sense of déjà vu here since this resort, overlooking L.A.'s largest marina, is a favorite location of dozens of TV and film productions." Full review

"With a waterfront location on a harbor, not the beach, there's little reason to stay here unless you're boating or have a business meeting at the hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Overlooking the world’s largest custom-built pleasure boat harbor, the Ritz-Carlton offers European elegance and deluxe creature comforts."
Travel + Leisure "Set on the waterfront of a small-craft marina, the Ritz-Carlton is one of the more traditional hotel spaces in Los Angeles." Full review
Time Out "Marina del Rey's best hotel is every bit as smart as you'd hope a Ritz-Carlton to be. The rooms are traditional without being stuffy; many have views over the marina." Full review
Star Service "The hotel has a beautiful blend of sleek contemporary and subdued traditional decor fused together with tasteful nautical accents." Full review
Gayot "When travelers hear the word "Ritz-Carlton," no matter where they are in the world, they know they can expect understated sophistication and excellent service."
BlackBook "304-room luxury resort situated on one of the largest, man-made recreational marina. Stellar views, even from your "Juliet" balcony."
goop "You can generally get really great deals on rooms, despite all the luxe amenities (pool, gym, spa, et al)." Full review
