Being from across the country, we were really nervous about choosing a hotel. The military rate was great for this hotel. We got there and found it a little worn down but the staff was very kind. The room was clean and comfortable. The trolley to Disney picked up right out front, the tickets were sold right in the lobby for just a dollar, kids rode free. Breakfast was great, waffles, juice, cereal, toast, muffins and lots of coffee. I am glad we stayed here.

We stayed at the Quality Inn Maingate for two nights and loved it. The room was very clean and spacious with a comfy bed. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was excellent with a good selection of food (including waffles) and a morning paper. We enjoyed a quiet soak in the spa pool and made use of the convenient laundry facilities. This was above the quality you might expect for such a reasonable rate and we would definitely stay there again.

Our family just spent 5 nights at the Quality Inn Maingate in Anaheim, and we enjoyed a really good stay there!

We chose this hotel because it is DOG FRIENDLY, and we had our pup with us. In the past, some pet friendly hotels have tried to stick us in disgusting "pet" rooms; while we were in a room specifically designated for dogs, it was as clean as any other hotel room we've stayed in. They actually seem to put the $25 cleaning fee to use here! Upon check-in, our dog received a letter about his and his family's conduct during our stay, along with a yummy treat. Cute!

Our room was a "deluxe" room: two queen beds, microwave, and mini fridge. Spending a little more for the microwave and fridge ended up saving us a lot of money on food.
One of the beds was really comfortable, the other not so comfortable (our exhausted children didn't seem to notice). The room had a small table and two chairs, though they were snugged up against one of the beds, necessitating acrobatics in order to get into the far chair. :-P

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor pool -- sort of small -- and jacuzzi were well maintained. A washer and two dryers ($2 per load) are in the pool area, as is the ice machine.
The continental breakfast offered: two juices, two cereals, a variety of fruit, bread/toast, milk, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, muffins, pasteries, and the ever popular Belgian waffles. All of the food was fresh and nicely presented. Indoor and outdoor seating are available.
A free USA Today was delivered to our door each weekday morning. Also available is the LA Times for $.18 per day, $.36 on Sundays.

As for location, the Quality Inn is in a good spot for those visiting Disneyland -- approximately 1 mile from the parks. Staying in a hotel that is walking distance to Disneyland is probably ideal; however, the ART shuttles ran frequently and stopped right in front of our hotel. We went back to our room for a rest and a swim two out of our three days at Disneyland, and the 5-minute ride there and back worked out really well.

I feel bad for those who didn't have the good experience that we did at the Quality Inn Maingate! Our family would stay here again, even if we didn't have our pooch with us, and I definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for an above average budget hotel. We found the Quality Inn Maingate to be clean, comfortable, conveniently located, staffed by friendly folks, and priced just right. :0)

I gave this the hotel the benefit of the doubt by reading some of the reviews. Some are good and some are bad... Our stay was the worst, the people at the desk do not know what to do. The keys for the rooms do not work. There is limited hot water that comes to the rooms. The towels are so thin I can see through them. They should change the name of this hotel form QUALITY to JOKESTER INN. The new slogan of this hotel should be the BIGGEST JOKE OF HOTELS.
