Magnolia Tree Hotel-Maingate/Anaheim Convention Center

The room was fine, although it didn’t have a microwave. The parking situation, however is atrocious. Parking spaces are really tight and there are not enough of them, plus there were cars parked there that didn’t have a parking pass hanging on their rear view mirror like I had to have. Makes me think that they have permanent residences living there. I won’t go back to this hotel.

They have absolutely no parking. They say you get a spot with your reservation but if you aren’t early to park in the no parking space don’t expect a spot.

I did not like that there are 40 rooms and only 30 parking spaces.

They were so good at helping me to get me a room on the first floor due to my bad knees. The room was clean and nice bathroom. Didn't have a microwave or coffee maker and the ice machine was broken, but for just needing a place to sleep being so close to the Toy Story parking lot was perfect.

The room is only a few feet bigger than a king bed. Loud AC unit. No answer when I called the front desk. Ice machine was broken. Small parking lot. Minimal parking. Cheap hotel. Not even worth the cheap price you pay.

Everything was good for a small hotel and for the price. Only thing i have to say is they have no ice machine which was a bummer. But over all it did its job.

No ice machine

The property itself was fine for the price but the AC in our room sounded like a jet engine revving up for take off and it never stopped. The front desk guy said he would leave a note to have it fixed the next day but they never did. Also if you need a parking place and actually get one in their parking lot DO NOT move your car after 8pm. The tiny lot fills up and you have to park on the street and walk from a block away.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Parking lot was tight. It felt safe and quiet. Not much interaction with the staff but check in guy was nice

Awful property. Door lock didn't latch, felt unsafe. Floors were dirty, stuff stuck to them. The room was just dirty, worn, and old. AC worked but pieces were broken off, shutters half broken. Parking is NOT reserved and the spaces are tiny. They are first come and that applies to your entire visit. You could leave for dinner and come back to no place to park. After booking we were sent this message, "Parking is FREE for the FIRST vehicle PER ROOM at a first come first served basis, however because parking is free for the first vehicle space is limited and we cannot guarantee a parking space.". This message was very frustrating to get after booking a non refundable stay. They provided 1/2 a roll of toilet paper for us. We received 3 back to back phone calls in the middle of the night, like 3am. Tried to answered but it was a busy signal so I ended up taking the phone off the hook. The TV was nice but we didn't test it. The bed appeared clean and was comfortable. We will never stay here again.

Clean room

Clean rooms

The bathtub grout and ceiling was riddled with mold. The floor was sticky and we had to wear shoes in the room. Told the front desk and she was very apologetic. Promised that her boss would call to resolve the problem and never heard from them again. Felt pretty unsafe being there as well, lots of weird people lurking around. Definitely looks much nicer in pictures.

Need to do a better job cleaning. We found dirty nails and bra padding inside the room.

It’s a 2 star motel near Disneyland. Don’t get your expectations too high. Luckily the inside of the room looks better than the outside. The outside is in dire need of cleaning.

The location was perfect and front of house staff were awesome! The room was a little lacking in cleanliness (dirt and dust on the floor and the sheets had some weird looking stains) bit overall, it was a really great experience. The parking was kind of hard if you have a larger vehicle but they have free parking on the street nearby. We will likely stay again!!

There are a lot of positive things about my stay at Magnolia Tree Hotel: friendly staff, very clean room, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, good maid service everyday, perfect location and good price.

The bed was comfy, the room was very clean, staff was amazing. The only down fall is that it is older and cheap furniture. But ultimately for the great price, thats ok. I would definitely stay her again. Just if your looking for more bougie this would not be it. If your looking for clean and comfort its a yes!!!

Very dirty. Muddy shoe prints. Stains on wall. Towels were stained. There was one wet towel folded on the bath tub. No inner waterproof shower curtain, water got all over bathroom floor. Room smelled like pee. Overwhelmingly. Bed sheets and pillows smelled gross, like they’ve been sitting in that pee room so the out being changed or washed for weeks. Pls never go there, I am scared for you.

Room# 123, A/C unit smells bad and probably has never been serviced, found holes in the wall, little to no space in the bathroom for personal belongings, no towel rack, spider webbing on the walls and found roaches on my last day there. I will be canceling my future stay and booking somewhere else even if it cost me more money to not deal with the headaches. Spoke to the manager Sam about it but he had little to nothing to say about my experience.

The hotel was nice and the staff was very friendly. The ONLY downfall was the thin walls. The doors close fast and hard, so we heard every neighbor's door slam and loud music. Overall, the hotel was perfect for the price point and proximity to amusement parks.

When we checked in the staff was very friendly. The hotel rooms need some TLC. There are no black out curtains. The A/C has a weird smell. But it was fine for one night.

The room was surprising clean and comfortable my grandson had a blast with the bunk bed.

The staff is super friendly and helpful and the location is not too far from Disney (we did Uber) but you could walk. Things that were disappointing were, upon arrival the air conditioning in the room was completely shut off so our room was sweltering hot. We arrived at 9:30pm so this made climbing into bed and getting some rest miserable because it took quite awhile for the room to cool off. Also the air conditioning started making a horrible noise during the night. Each time the compressor kicked on it sounds like a motorcycle starting in our room. So loud!!! We did ask the staff to either repair the unit while we were out for the day or switch us rooms. We were told someone would repair it. When we arrived back to the room that evening it sounded better but in theme middle of the night started making noise again. So frustrating. We ended leaving a night early to head home. Couldn’t take another sleepless night.

No frills motel close-ish to Disneyland. It took about five minutes to be welcomed to check in because the clerk was “working on something.” It was a nice touch to have a wine fridge in the check-in area with Heineken Zero for guests to take. Room was basic. I was quite surprised they didn’t have glasses in the room; plastic cups, at least. The room had a fridge but no hot water kettle or coffee maker. Beds were quite hard. Location was convenient and getting to Disneyland is easy.The OC bus stops right in front, 20 minute walk, or $12 uber ride.

Everything was good but we had a room in the bottom floor and the people on the top were unfortunately making alot of noise throughout the night.

So close to being good... They clearly put some effort into renovating this at some point, but the upkeep isn't there and the materials used were not built to last. The tiny shelf in the bathroom was near falling off, long dark hairs on the wall in the shower, the shutters didn't block anywhere near as much light as blackout curtains would, the door didn't latch unless you really pushed or pulled on it. Most annoying was the fact that the water took forever to get warm, let alone actually getting hot enough to shower. The guy at the desk was nice enough, held my bags when I arrived early, but then refused to let me leave a key for my partner who was coming in on a later flight. Apparently the desk guy needed me there, with my ID he had already checked, in order to check the ID of the person whose name I was leaving a key for, who had ID of his own? Luckily there was a shift change, and the second guy had no problem taking down my partner's name for a key. I did call and ask them to make sure the door had shut when we left one morning (I couldn't remember if we had pulled it shut) and they obliged. I was also surprised to come back and find that housekeeping had come in. I feel like that's not expected in a lot of hotels, post-covid. Price was great, location is awesome, with a city bus stop right outside providing a $2 ride to Disneyland. This was just for a couple of nights, so it was fine, but for any more than that, I would have wanted more amenities or comfort.

My room was clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and they stored my bag beforehand. Location is good for Disney or conferences near convention center. AC worked well. Had one night with no hot water but otherwise wonderful showers. Bathroom window didn’t lock and opened onto a back alley. It seemed locked off but it looked into the shower so that was a bit nerve wrecking.

Fairly basic accommodation. Television didn't work which want a huge issue for us. WiFi was very slow and AC quite noisy.

We stayed on the first floor and the people above us were so loud. You could hear EVERYTHING around us and above us. My daughter was scared people were going to fall through the ceiling on top of her. Woke us up in the middle of the night. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Parking near our room was always available, staff since we arrived was amazing and answered all our questions throughout our stay, our room was always clean you rarely see that now, and there is a city bus stop directly outside of the hotel that takes you to the parks (roughly 4 stops)

Staff were nice and answered all my questions. They let me keep my bags with them before checking in as well. Fantastic service

Unfortunately can't recommend this hotel. The pictures seem to have a beauty filter because when you really look at the hotel its very run down and needs a deep clean. Rooms are very small and run down. Main door didn't secure all that well, definitely contributed to a lack of feeling safe. The shower barely got to luke warm and the design has the back of the shower wide open to the bathroom. I almost forgot, the front office was closed when we arrived at 5pm. I feel like that's a pretty standard check in time for people. We rang the doorbell and waited over 10 minutes for someone to come to the door. When they did come there wasn't really anything said, just checked us in and sent us on our way. Not the worst stay but just won't be returning to this property.

The room itself was very nice and clean. We had the king size bed with bunk bed above. Though the mattress for the king was very soft. However, the main criticism is the check in process. This is the first hotel I have been to (and I am over 50 yo) that would not let you check in early without a fee. If the room wasn't ready, all the hotels I have been at, would let you check in, store you luggage and you just come back for your key later. But this did not happen at this hotel. So we arrived early. Saw a sign on the door that said they would be back in 10 min. Did not arrive until an hour and half later. If I knew that I would have left and come back. Anyways, check in was at 4 pm. Office opened at 3 pm. Went to check in and was informed that it would be an extra $25 to check in early. So waited in our car for another hour so we could check in. I will compliment the staff though. The front desk and housekeeping was very nice, but I don't know if I will stay here again

Great hotel, superb staff. Nicole was amazing. They were super kind, and it's really close to the convention center for those of us going to the NAMM show. Well-priced. Worth it.

There are a lot of positive things about my stay at Magnolia Tree Hotel: friendly staff, very clean room, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, good maid service everyday, perfect location and good price.

Well initially we arrived on time. We were told check in would be at 2. We checked in and gave a $100 security deposit. When we tried to get in we were told by a maid (she was very nice) that the room hadn’t been finished. We headed to the front office to ensure we had the correct room/if we could switch rooms and were told to wait. After about 15 minutes of waiting outside the office (the clerk locked the lobby/office door) we were told we couldn’t get a new room. Our room still wasn’t done being cleaned. We then had to wait in the car for an additional 20 minutes after driving 8 hours to this hotel. Finally the front desk called to let us know our room was finished. When we tried to get into our room, the keycard didn’t work. The front desk had to come let us in and give us a new card. After entering the room we saw the bathroom window was broken and would not latch, the tv was broken with a line down the center, and the door to the room didn’t properly close without pulling extremely hard and locking the deadbolt. Overall I would rate this stay a 2/10 as the maid was sweet, cleaned well with what she had to work with, and we had a safe place to sleep.

This hotel was an absolute nightmare. I hope people read this review before booking. I don’t want others to go through what I did. There was no running water when we went to turn it on. I called the front desk, they told me they were having a plumbing issue and it shouldn’t be long. An hour later I called the front desk again to see what was going on with the water. The man at the front told me the water was on . It wasn’t in my room. I asked to speak with the manager who was supposedly with the plumber, but then the front desk guy said he left. There was many lies . I then asked for a refund I wanted to leave and get a hotel with running water. The front desk said they would not give me a refund. He said he would put me in a new room. The second room also had a water issue and a door in it. I asked why this door led to, he didn’t know. It was not a connector door, it was facing the wrong way. So they moved me to a third room. The water did work but the door would not lock from the inside and the door looked like it had be broken into. It had a huge 2 inch gap. When I called the man at the front desk he told me it was fine because the door could not be opened from the outside without the key. …. I am a single woman, I’m not staying in California with a broken door !!!!! Getting my money back for the room was a joke. Expedia management had to get involved, that’s honestly the only way I got my money back. Please don’t stay there it truly was a dump with horrible management!

This was our first stay at Magnolia and we were so pleasantly surprised at how caring and accommodating the staff was. From ensuring that we arrived safely to still make check-in to even extending our check-out time when we needed to sleep in after a long night, the staff truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank them enough! Parking is plentiful and spacious and not crazy expensive at $10 a night which is worth it, in my opinion. The surrounding areas are much safer compared to other areas of LA. LOTS of dining options within walking distance. Our room was clean & spacious for 2 people. Full size pumps of shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the bathroom- something you rarely see in hotels anymore! Uber rides to and from Disney weren't more than $10. Not to mention this hotel is incredibly affordable compared to others in the area. An amazing experience for our first time back in Anaheim after years. Thank you, Magnolia Tree! We'll be back.

The gal that checked me in was very rude and not welcoming at all. She had an attitude when she was trying to process my checkin because my ID “wasn’t scanning”. I asked if there was anything else she needed from me and she very rudely said “I don’t need anything from you, I’m just telling you”. Super bitter way to start our stay. The cleanliness of the room was ok, but the half ply toilet paper you provide is shameful. I held it up and could literally see through it. Also, be a little more lenient on check-in time. We arrived 25 minutes before check and were told we had to pay a $35 fee to check in early. We sat in the car for 25 minutes because that is absolutely ridiculous. Then when we checked in the gal said she wasn’t sure if there were any rooms available. Why would you tell us to pay a fee if there weren’t any rooms available?? So disappointing.

Convenient and affordable.

Parking near our room was always available, staff since we arrived was amazing and answered all our questions throughout our stay, our room was always clean you rarely see that now, and there is a city bus stop directly outside of the hotel that takes you to the parks (roughly 4 stops)

The hotel is close to everything.

Stayed in the family room, which was great, my daughter loved the bunk bed. Very close to Disney, and there are lots of options for food next to the hotel. If you stay, Joe’s Ice Cream dinner is right across the road and is a must try!

This was exactly and all we needed for an overnight stay. Easy walk to Toy Story parking lot

I was skeptical at first, but they were outstanding. Checking in was quick and easy, and I had my questions answered when I had them. When I got to the room, it was spotless and comfortable. The walk to the convention center was not that far; it was a bit difficult finding a parking space, but understandable with the whole first-come, first-served rule. I would come back again next year for sure.

Clean and comfortable. Easy check in and check out. Close to convention center- about a 15 minute walk.

The property was in good location to go to the Angel's stadium and Disney. There are lots of restaurant near the property.

There are a lot of positive things about my stay at Magnolia Tree Hotel: friendly staff, very clean room, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, good maid service everyday, perfect location and good price.

I really enjoyed my stay. My only recommendation is to bring ear plugs; not sure why but it was loud. The hotel guests were loud in the hallway and I heard lots of loud cars passing by at night. Other than that, rooms are clean and it’s a cute hotel. 22 min walk to Disney

The stay was ok. There wasn’t an ice machine available so we had to buy ice to keep our drinks cool when out and about. There was a fridge in the room. The door didn’t really shut well, had to triple check to make sure the door was secure, so there was a safety concern for us. Parking was small and tight. The surrounding neighborhood was an issue as there was constant loud sports car or motorcycle going by late at night, peeling out. The room was nicely renovated and clean. Other than that it was an ok stay for the price.

No issues two things I could use improvement they don’t put cups in the room for water and it would be nice to have coffee makers in the room otherwise everything was fine

Located across from Disneyland. You can walk to restaurants. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this motel, but if you are going to spend the day at the parks, all you need is a clean room, comfortable bed, and clean/working bathroom. It had all of that and a microwave, internet, & refrigerator.

They were so good at helping me to get me a room on the first floor due to my bad knees. The room was clean and nice bathroom. Didn't have a microwave or coffee maker and the ice machine was broken, but for just needing a place to sleep being so close to the Toy Story parking lot was perfect.

No ice machine. No ability to take a bath in bath tub, plug has been broken off. Extremely limited parking with near impossible space to get out in the morning. No pool. No breakfast. No shuttle. Room was mediocre. Call ahead to check that your room is ready. Lots of gnats and bugs in the room at night.

We've stayed at Magnolia Tree many times in the past. Could be cleaner. Our bathroom shower had gunk built up around the door and the seal was broken. We stayed in a king room. Not a fan of the bunk over the king size bed. It difficult to get in/out of without hitting your head. We miss the continental breakfast MT used to have. There is a small refrigerator in the room but no microwave. The room was spacious and had several tables and a chair, which was a bonus.

Everything was good for a small hotel and for the price. Only thing i have to say is they have no ice machine which was a bummer. But over all it did its job.

Good value for the money. My only disappointment is that the stay would have been much better with access to a microwave, even a shared one.

Plenty space for a family. Happy with a microwave in the room. However no coffee maker. Blanket on the top bunk very thin and no flat sheet. Asked for extra blanket and received with no problem. Heating/cooling unit was very noisy and second night we had to unplug from the wall to turn it off, since it was not responding at all. It definitely was not working properly. Decently clean room. Staff was pleasant.
