Used to love coming back to the park around 1am and being able to soak in the hot tub for about 30 minutes for a sound sleep and to soothe the weary muscles.

Originally Posted By Linda1633 I stayed there a few years ago and did not like it. Take ear plugs if you want to get any sleep. It is right next to the freeway and if your room is near the 24 hour pool it never quiets down. They are trying to be a four or five star hotel by charging ridiculous prices for parking when by any stretch they might be a three star. Defiantly not for families. It was very scary to watch families with strollers run across the freeway exit trying to walk to Disneyland.

At that price it was a no brainer. A quick looksie at expedia shows room are about $150 a night! For that money I would probably pick the Embassy Suites down the road instead. Granted, the Menage might remodeled nicer than the Holiday Inn was, but I expect it's basically the same hotel as before.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I think they often have deals, though. I say that, even though I haven't looked in over a year, because I often get those "we know what you look at" ads when I'm on a travel website (i.e. you've looked at Anaheim before, so an ad for an Anaheim hotel pops up without you asking for it.) Also, at least a couple of times I've gotten an email from Expedia or Travelocity or Orbitz (I'm on all of them) saying "Special Deal! Anaheim hotels for $xx!" and it has been the Menage.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip At tripadvisor.com, the Menage is ranked #27 of 106 hotels in Anaheim, and is given an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars (the same rating received by the Hilton and by the Embassy Suites). Rates for the dates I selected (4 nights in late July, including a weekend) started at $112. Having never stayed there, I can't give it an endorsement. Buy I have found Trip Advisor ratings to be quite reliable.
