Originally Posted By tapdancemom If you mean the Marriott Residence Inn in Garden Grove then yes we stayed there three years ago. We thought it was great. We had two bedrooms, one king and two queens, each with their own bathroom. It was my hubby, daughter, grandson and myself. There was a really nice buffet breakfast each morning and snack with beverages in the evening. The suite has a living room and kitchen with eating area. My grandson had some special dietary needs and we cooked some of our meals there. The staff will shop for you. That was a real perk for us. They have a nice laundry facility too which really came in handy for us. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We definately enjoyed our stay there.

The room we got had a King bed with a down comforter in a bedroom with french doors, and a pull out sofa in the living room. Both rooms had t.v.'s, so that worked out real well with our two kids. Have a great time!
Originally Posted By practicallyperfect Thanks, MickeyMommy. We do have the Marriot Suites, not the Residence Inn Suites. Good to know that we will be in a good hotel. I figured it was okay but had never stayed there. We did get the Crown Plaza once using Priceline so am familar with the location. Best of all--we'll be in DL!
Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I have stayed there several times and paid $150+ a night each time (and it was well worth it). You got a great deal on Priceline. It's a nice hotel, has a Starbucks in the lobby, free parking and 3 restaurants out front: Red Robin, Outback and Joe's Crab Shack. The rooms are big and can accommodate 6 people comfortably (with the 2 double bed option) or 4 with the King. Of the hotels in the area (outside of the Disney properties) I would rank it in the top 3.

Originally Posted By AZDLDad Outside there is a fenced basketball court, bbq area to cook your own if you wanted. Swimming pool, usually chilly air because of shadows. Gift shop. A walk through gate to Hyatt where there is a Starbucks, small $5 pizza's. Bucca de Beppo italian a block north-inexpensive meals. The room amenities, full kitchen was nice to have.
