Guest reviews for Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa
Excellent but pricey!
Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, location
Cons:
price
You can't beat the location of this hotel. After a long day at the park, the convenience of being so close to your hotel is awesome. The beds were probably the most comfortable hotel beds that we have slept in. Super clean rooms, and friendly staff. The only downside is the outrageous money you have to pay to stay here.

Friendly, helpful, clean, and close to it all! Very pleased!
Pros:
Free Internet, right at the disney parks and downtown disney, clean
Cons:
pool slide closed, pillows a bit uncomfortable
Love, love, love the location of this hotel. We have a 3, 7, and 12 year old. (We got the bunkbed/trundle room, which was great, no one had to sleep together. BONUS!) When the little one needed a rest it was about a two minute walk back to the hotel. My husband took advantage of the early morning entry. He and the two older kids would go early in the a.m. into the parks, and leave myself and the 3 yr old to sleep in. Well worth the extra money if you have little ones. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Only con was that the waterslide was closed, which was supposed to be open (which was indicated on the website). The kids were disappointed. And then the pool was closed completely the last day of our stay. If we were't so busy it would have been a big problem. All in all, it was a great experience!

Overpriced
Majority of staff are amazing. Some not so good and need to rethink working in hospitality. Lobby appearance is wonderful. Room on other hand are old and so not worth the hefty price! Old rooms. Dark. Our bed was so old it had body indents on each side. If one person moved, the entire bed shook so much it woke the other up(felt like an earthquake-not exaggerating). Digital/analog tv, coffee/tea was like being at 2 star hotel. Not even any bottles of water in room and trust me you do not want to use the faucet water. We were told of pool renovations but we're not told that the floor right above where we were staying was also being renovated and could hear them doing construction in those rooms. I've spent far less elsewhere and received much better rooms and room amenities than this hotel offered. We requested garden view and got view of a rooftop. On a good note, great location.

Why you should WATCH OUT if you stay at the Grand
Check in isn't till 3pm
We were told we would get a TEXT message around the "3 o'clock hour "
When we did not get a text I finally called the front desk at 6pm !
The front desk told me it was a "glitch" and they apologized .
The hotel is nice , the room for almost 600$ was very average , the bathroom average , no mini bar not even one bottle of water on the house ?
The TV viewing was extremely limited , and we both thought to ourselves really ?... no free Disney movies for the kids ?
We ordered a cheese quesadilla and French fries for a grand total of 40$ !?!?!
They say they have 24/7 room service but the 24/7 menu is terrible and limited .
If your vegetarian get ready as you have NO CHOICES .
So we spent 560$ to stay from 6pm till an 11am checkout ? rediculous !
The staff was the ONLY SAVING GRACE !
They comped a dinner and wrote us two fast passes .... but unfortunately it did not make up for the late check in , the overpriced so so room or the early check out .
We will never be back it's overpriced and not that special .

Grand Californian
The hotel is beautifully decorated for the holidays. They have a lot of nice amenities and restaurants and lounges. The rooms leave a lot to be desired. They are not spotless but not dirty either, honestly the best western was equally clean. We paid for a downtown Disney view and we did have one if we leaned out over the roof of the business below us and looked left. Otherwise it was primarily a roof and vent view. The employees were nice but definitely didn't go out of the way to engage or make us feel welcome as they usually do in the 4 and 5 star resorts I've stayed in. I'd stay here again for the amenities and the closeness to the park but not based on star rating. It's convenient and that's what you pay for, but otherwise it's not necessarily worth the extra money.

Room were over priced.
Great location, friendly staff. But the rooms were out dated and over priced.

NO value for the price
Pros:
Nice lobby and friendly staff.
Cons:
All rooms should have a microwave. And the cost is about four times over priced.
Way over priced. The hotel is grand but you can walk around and look at it for free w/o having to book a room.
If you do decide to stay make sure you at least get one with a view, or don't bother.
Paid $30 for a buffet brkfst at the Story Tellers Cafe. I could have had room service for half that. Wish I had bothered to research the prices before.
It was nice being close to everything but a free shuttle from a nearby hotel would have been just as good.
Also the drinks at the bar are also over priced by about double. A beer for $9, a lemonade for $5.
