  • The room was very comfortable and clean.
  • The hot tub was over-chlorinated. The fumes were horrible, and we were itchy for two days after.

“This was a very nice hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Our one complaint was that the hot tub was over-chlorinated, but the management insisted that it was okay and initially tried to make it up by giving us 2 bottles of lotion. It didn't work, our skin was dry and itchy for the next two days. They did eventually make it up to us, although they never admitted to their mistake.”

“The hotel was beautiful and clean. I was so glad that I was given this hotel from my Priceline selection. I will try to get the same one next time I'm in the area. The price was amazing for the quality of room, others would be jealous if they knew what I paid!”

  • Located in a nice area and has attractive lobby and restaurant, clean rooms and friendly staff.
  • Nothing.

“We were impressed by the friendly service at the registration desk but were very surprised to find that our room was used and in a mess (housekeeping forgot to clean). However, as soon as we informed the front desk of our situation, they apologized and quickly gave us a different room and two breakfast coupons for the hotel restaurant. We enjoyed our stay there even though it was only one night.”

  • Beds comfy, rooms clean.
  • Pool was warm, but could have been cleaner, the water was cloudy.

“I booked two rooms, 1 room was for my three older children and I was hoping to get adjoining rooms, but did not. The front desk did give us rooms next to each other. Would have been nice if they had a small fridge and micro. With three kids they are always leftovers. The pool was small according to my kids, but warm. I thought the water was cloudy and could have been kept cleaner. But the kids enjoyed their stay and that is all I cared about on a family trip.”

  • I do not have anything negative to say about this hotel.

“This is definitely the hotel I would like to stay at every time I visit the Greater Los Angeles area. The hotel is surrounded by corporate offices, the Performing Arts Center and all kinds of restaurants, Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Best Buy just to mention a few. Conveniently located next to the freeway and only 10 minutes drive to Knotts Berry Farm and 15 minutes to Disneyland!”

  • Staff was all very friendly.
  • No shuttle service, hard to navigate to theme parks with no car.

“The hotel was very nice overall. The gift shop could have a few more amenities for sale other than the few post cards. A better shuttle system would be nicer, I was told that it was not operating, and then told it went within 3 miles, then told it only went to the mall. I decided to take taxi cabs instead. The staff was very attentive and I felt appreciated as a guest, customer service can make or break a stay. This made my stay! Room service, the housekeeping staff and the front desk staff was all wonderful.”

  • The Hotel itself was breathtaking.
  • The parking is shared with a business mall.

“For once, I did not have to fight with the front desk for a room with double beds. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. However, upon check-in, there was only 1 bellhop, and 1 luggage cart so we had to carry all of our things up to the 4th floor unassisted. Also, the hotel parking was further than the adjacent business parking.”

  • Great location & very friendly staff!
  • Negligible, but elevators are in an odd spot/ people would wander past if not told, and then meander around the lobby searching- perhaps a chic little sign?

“Was in town for a concert at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. Everything about this hotel was perfect for that + more; shopping & restaurants were just across the street & very convenient; clean accommodations; friendly staff through-out/ even the cool Bulgarian bartender! It was a wonderful weekend, including my stay here.”

They said their only obligation was to sleep 2 people. We were definitely second-class citizens in the eyes of the desk employees. Otherwise, the hotel was very nice. Clean, nice amenities. Staff was professional, except for above comment.”

I was able to lie out at the pool or get up and walk down the street and go shopping at the town center across the street. I would definitely plan another stay at the Sheraton.”

  • The hotel itself is very nice.
  • Terrible TV choices, staff did not try to help with double room after being told by desk I could have one.

“This hotel is very nice overall, but I called and put in my request for a double room since I had 2 teenage boys and a 10 yr old daughter with me. They gave me a single bed and though they said they would try to move me. The bed itself was very nice, the shower head was quite low with little water pressure, and the hotel restaurant closed very early. Also, the TV is not children friendly unless you wish to pay for otherwise free Disney Channel programming at $3.95/episode. I have stayed here before and it is a good location between Disneyland and Long Beach, but the staff should have been a little more interested in helping us with our sleeping arrangements, though they did send up a roll-away bed for free. Overall it is certainly a nice hotel and had we not had the sleeping issues it would have been fine.”
