Holiday Inn & Suites on 1240 South Walnut

Well, in anticipation of my trip stateside, I have found myself staying for the first time at the Holiday Inn & Suites just North of Disneyland..

One night only.. (priceline couldn't obtain another day at my rate)


Seems to have good reviews, but curious whether anybody has ever stayed there recently?

Re: Holiday Inn & Suites on 1240 South Walnut

go to hotels.com They have a really good review section and you should be able to get a good idea about the hotel. Just an idea in case no one on here has stayed there recently.

I usually use Tripadvisor.com for hotel reviews when I travel.

The Holiday Inn & Suites was a nice hotel. Borders the parking garage, so it wasn't a very long drive after leaving the park..

Gave a paper in the morning, but had styrofoam cups for the coffee...

Re: Holiday Inn & Suites on 1240 South Walnut

Would you stay again (and bring your own mug)? Did you have a suite or a room? Was breaky included?

Yes, I would..

As Holiday Inns go, it was one of the best I've been at.

The double beds were comfortable, and the close proximity to the parking garage almost made me think we could have just walked to the parking garage rather than do the drive ride around the garage!

I've walked by that hotel a lot...good to hear that it's nice! I know it has a great location; right between Disney and the post office we used to use! I wish we could have lived at THAT hotel...would've saved a lot of walking!

That is really bad form. Disgusting!

That turns me off just like a restaurant that serves little prepackaged pads of SALTED butter. I like some artistically arranged unsalted (please) butter on my table. Will not return to restaurants like that and would not return to styrofoam cups either

Wow, I somehow missed the fact that these were styrofoam cups at a restaurant! Good grief, that's just wrong.

(And I thought one of our local diners was tacky for using plastic drink cups... )

Ha Ha, it wasn't the restaurant, but the little coffee pot in the hotel room.

Phew!

Definitely still tacky.......but I'm just so glad that wasn't in a restaurant!

(Out of curiosity, wouldn't it cost them more in the long run to use styrofoam cups than to wash and reuse mugs?? )
