    After just a few hours at The Viv I was already thinking of booking my next trip. The hotel was clean, modern & beautiful. We had the best experience & enjoyed the many amenities the place had to offer. The check-in process was easy & we parked on site (heads up its $39 plus tax for 24hrs). Our room was the 2 queen beds & it was spacious with such comfortable beds. The restroom was beautiful & clean & stocked up with all the goods we needed. There are 2 pools on site, a family friendly one on the ground floor & the amazing adults only pool on the 12th floor. We enjoyed some time at the adults only pool & jacuzzi... it was extremely relaxing & such an intimate vibe. We also had a $25 credit included in our stay which we used at the on-site coffee shop called Melody's Market which was absolutely delicious. Overall, our stay was relaxing & luxurious especially for such a fair price point. I highly encourage you to stay at The Viv the next time you visit Disneyland!

    Multiple of these found in corners of the room and sheets

    BED BUGS! We woke up in the morning to find bites on my sons legs and some on my own upper thigh. We began tearing the sheets apart closely looking into every corner (finding old trash along the way from previous occupants, a sign the room was not carefully cleaned.) We found bugs, multiple in the sheets and in the corner of the room. We took pictures and a video and promptly went downstairs to check out. We explained everything to the manager onsite only to be told that I cannot be certain what kind of bug was in the photos and what exactly caused the bites on our legs. She said it could be another kind of bug and not bed bugs. Also they cannot control who stays in their rooms and what they may bring with them Oh that's great, well jeez don't I feel better. Don't worry sir, we host many bug species in our bedrooms. Fear not, its not that specific insect sleeping in your sheets, but another kindly donated by a previous occupant. Well thank you I feel better, let me return to my room and get some sleep. We checked out immediately. It is NOT WORTH it. Stay somewhere else!!

    Review from 3/10/26 I am DYING reading reviews especially from the D.M person...couldn't change the weather...this person lived under a rock apparently. ANYWAYS... Again as a family of 4. This time we have a room with 2 queens and a bunk bed. The kids are excited, a little to high for my kids who move around all night but they loved watching tv from there! The hotel is clean, front desk is polite and helpful. It did take about 20 min to check in with 2 people in front of us. When I asked about getting a Gatorade from their store that was closed, they opened it to let me buy a drink at 8:45 pm. That was amazing! Room is clean and pretty spacious! This time we can see the parking garage and pool. It's still not super quiet but much quieter than the last time we stayed. We are only here one night to visit family and arrived around 7:30 pm so we didn't check out any of the facilities. I'll leave a simple review for the restaurant which I wasn't a fan of their to go service. There's self park and valet. We chose valet, I can't say much about that as we only dropped off so far but there were several valets outside to help. Review from February: Checked in around 10 pm as a family of four (2 under 8.) We just kind of picked this hotel at random tonight after a family function last minute. It looked newer, and I think it actually is. It's currently 4:30 am as I'm writing this so here we go... The room was fine when we came in. Nothing spectacular but not issues either. We have 2 double beds which each had 4 pillows. Bathroom is roomy, clean and bright. The downside to the bathroom is there was only 1 wash towel. It was already late so I washed a kiddo with a hand towel to quickly get them to bed. The major downside right now is the noise. It is LOUD. You can hear every car, every person walking down the hall, apparently the bear stomping around above us. There is constantly noise. Most of it like the noise from the roads/freeway, the hotel can't fix, but please be aware of that. My husband sleeps through anything and he's woken a few times from the noise. I have hardly slept. Keep this in mind if you're a light sleeper, the walls are THIN. Last night while washing my face I had cupped water in my hands in the sink and the water was more of a weird milky color. I said something to my husband who was in the shower and it was fine in there. I washed my hands to see what was on my hands and it continued to be a weird milky color. I turned it on and this time turned on the cold water and it was totally clear. When I turned it back to hot, it became milky again. My husband thought it must be more or something on my hands. So freshly from the shower he cupped the hot water and again it was milky. He switched it to cold, and it was clear. It wasn't noticeable if the waters just running but if you cupped it, you can see it.

    The view from our room

    My husband surprised me with a birthday stay at The Viv Hotel Anaheim, and I can honestly say it was one of the most thoughtful and memorable experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, everything felt special. When we opened the door to our room, I was greeted with the sweetest surprise--balloons, a Minnie Mouse, a birthday card on the bed, and a bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge. It was such a personal and magical touch that immediately set the tone for the entire stay. The service at this hotel is truly next-level. Every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. A special thank you to Sal, the Valet Parker, and especially Cienna, who went above and beyond for us. My husband had accidentally made a dinner reservation at Valencia's instead of Top of the V because he wanted me to see the Disneyland fireworks during dinner. Cienna actually called us prior to check-in to confirm and catch the mistake--such incredible attention to detail! She then seamlessly rebooked us at Top of the V, which made the night absolutely perfect. Dinner at Top of the V was phenomenal. The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and our server Martha provided outstanding service. Watching the fireworks from Disneyland while enjoying dinner was truly magical and something I'll never forget. We also stopped by Melody's inside the hotel and picked up some delicious goodies--and once again, Cienna made our experience even better with her kindness and attentiveness. Overall, this stay exceeded every expectation. Between the thoughtful birthday surprises, the incredible staff, the amazing food, and the unforgettable views, this was truly a perfect experience. I would absolutely recommend The Viv Hotel to anyone looking for a special, elevated stay in Anaheim. We will definitely be back!

    Yes, I absolutely do recommend The Viv Hotel! I stayed here for a few days enjoying Anaheim. I got a great view of Disneyland and the entire valley!! The place is really clean and very well maintained! I will definitely come back and stay at the Viv Hotel!!

    Its a beautiful and modern hotel,, but intimidating. Staff are friendly but do not give a homey atmosphere. We were waited at the pool bar more than 30 min. Looked like she was by herself. On complimentary wine 4-6 pm, there was no sign anywhere, no other guests, no host at the restaurant and when I went to the bar, there were 3 staff there. Pour me wine and that was it. The adult pool was lovely and quiet with dance music. Not inviting at all. It felt like I was on display. Electronic parking, decent room size but no work chair (but there was work table). They were welcoming gold members , but I requested, in my profile, to get room closest to the elevator due to my back issue, in which I always get it without confirming. But this time I got the furthest room. The Oasis pool was in a round shape. Hot tub, small water play area for kids. No staff. Used, dirty towels were everywhere. Sitting by the pool next to the fireplace, the trees infected with inch worms. Lobby, common areas, store, room are clean. Lobby have modern furnitures with spacious area with barely guests and 5 staff. I prefer not to take my kids there for the possibility of, well, being kids. Running around, playing, and breaking things. Amazing rooftop restaurant. If I come here by myself for business trip, this hotel will be extraordinary. If I come here with my kids for leisure, I prefer a more child friendly hotel.

    Great deal with resortpass

    I needed a day with the girls! So, when I saw the $150 cabana deal offered by resortpass, I had to snatch it up! Arrived at around 1pm on a Sunday, checked in with the front desk and were pointed in the direction of the pool. At the time we arrived, it was nice and quiet so, the waiter (Peter! who was incredible) allowed us to choose any of the 4 premium cabanas we wanted. I let my bestie choose and she made a great pick right in the middle of them all. The deal was awesome because of all the perks it came with: 1. A beautiful cabana for the day (9am - 10pm) 2. 4 day passes for me and the girlypops (with access to amenities) 3. 12 canned alcoholic beverages 4. A charcuterie board 5. Fruit Tray 6. 20% off food from the restaurant on site We had an absolute ball! We hung out by the pool, ate, drank, and were so so merry. It was such a lovely and fun time with my girlies. The Cabana was epic! It had a nice couch, some chairs, a table and a charging station. The only thing missing (on our end) was a little portable speaker to play music, but its a good lesson for next time. Customer service was great! Our waiter, Peter, was an absolute rockstar and was all by himself serving us as well as everyone else hanging out at the pool. He was kind, courteous, and checked in with us multiple times throughout the day to make sure we were happy and set. Totally beautiful daycation at the pool at The Viv. I am already looking forward to having another little girls date this summer!

    Stayed here several times. They have fallen off. Service staff could give 0 fux. We were away at the park from 8am to 9pm and our room was never cleaned. Called front desk and they said they would send up towels and take our trash but they never did. Was told we were supposed to get two waters, never got them. The staff tells you things to make you go away. Th hotel has a lot of potential but they don't keep up with maintenance and have been hiring employees that are over the Disney crowd. I can't believe this is a Marriott property. I have stayed here 4 times and each time it gets progressively worse. These guys need a shake up. It's a culture problem.

    Very cute hotel and very clean. All staff was very polite and helpful. Loved the hard surface floors in the rooms instead of carpet. Everything was decorated so cute for Christmas. 2 pools, restaurant and a grab and go coffee shop.

    Cal Valve Workshop 10/24/25
    Tamara T.

    Attended a workshop here in one of the conference rooms and was directed to park at the top of the parking structure to avoid incurring a parking charge of $50. There's one way in and out of here and that is on the west side of Anaheim Blvd. going south so if you miss the turn you have to do a big U-turn back. It's kind of an easy turn to miss so go slow and keep an eye out. There's an elevator and stairs at the structure and the highest parking floor is the 3rd or 4th floor. The workshop was held in the California room. The side of the room faces the street, which is a little distracting, but the blinds were halfway down so that helped. The room is also next to the elevator so it sounds like someone's phone notifications are going off but it's the elevator ding. There were two restrooms just south of the room and it's one per person. The restrooms are super artsy and fun inside and were very clean. For lunch we received these lunch kits with a turkey pesto sandwich on a Ciabatta roll, a bag of Vicky's salt & vinegar chips, a small tomato pasta salad a bottle of water and a chocolate chip cookie. There were canned sodas available in the meeting room as well. The lunch kit was actually very good in my opinion. It wasn't a heavy lunch which would then lead to being tired and wanting to take a nap. It was a hearty enough lunch that I was full and alert afterwards and it tasted great. I stopped in the gift shop and noticed they sold these same items there, which, if I was going to Disneyland, I'd buy one of the sandwiches and take it with me to have in case there's a long line or walk to get food in the park. The staff were all very polite and helpful and directed me to the room. They are located off the 5 freeway just down the road from the Disneyland resort and with the best access to the freeway to get anywhere else you would need to go. What I like about this hotel is that it's far enough from the resort crowd but a quick 5 minute drive on the freeway to the resort and if you want to take streets there, that option is probably 7 to 10 minutes depending on the traffic lights. Great if you're attending a workshop here and want to go to Disneyland with your family or yourself. Even if you don't go into one of the parks, there's still tons of stuff to do and see at Downtown Disney or the surrounding area.

    The Viv Hotel might just be the best hotel near Disneyland. It feels boutique, elevated, and thoughtfully designed without being over the top. The interiors are sleek and modern with subtle Disney touches that keep it fun without feeling cheesy. We stayed in Suite 200, which was perfect for our little Orange County staycation. The living room was cozy, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom felt luxe. The body wash and shampoo gave off a premium Aesop vibe, and the shower pressure was on point. Bonus points for the fridge actually being usable--not one of those overpriced mini-bars waiting to charge you for moving a bottle of water. There's a mart downstairs for snacks and essentials, plus a couple of restaurants we didn't try this time. The hotel also has two pools, including an adults-only rooftop pool that we'll definitely check out next time. Parking is around $30 per night, which feels fair compared to LA prices. No complaints here. The Viv is officially our go-to spot for all future Disney trips.

    This is an overdue revew for me. I stayed here for D23 Expo last summer. I have stayed at local hotels/motels to Disneyland and I will say The viv was way better than those other hotels. The room was really nice and clean. I really didn't have any complaints. In addition it was my sister birthday weekend so I added the birthday package which came with balloons, candy, and a blanket. It was so nicely done. I loved having that option to add that cute touch. FYI that blanket it came with though is definitely like temu quality lol it was so rough. It's also the farthest hotel from Disney, but it's not bad as they have some local transportation options. I mainly used uber though. My sister and I also went to both pools. The rooftop pool is very nice and has a gorgeous view. I would stay here again.

    These people are liars and thieves!! I stayed here on Saturday with my family to escape the heat and enjoy a nice day at the rooftop pool. The temperature that day was around 90 degrees so I was thinking a rooftop pool with some sort of shade cover from the elements, the sun explicitly would be perfect but it was far from that. So we checked in around 3:30 and headed straight to the rooftop pool as the downstairs pool looked filled to capacity. It was a little windy as we made our way to the jacuzzi as the pool was freezing. As we got in the jacuzzi the wind picked up 10-20 mph but we stayed in the hot tub as when we got out of the hot tub to turn on the jets it was literally freezing, like my hair was getting frost on it during 80-90 degree weather! So after spending maybe 30 minutes there we decided enough was enough. My son ended up getting sick from the fluctuating temperatures and he stayed in the room while I made a reservation at the restaurant downstairs for my wife and I. The only reason we went there at all was because when you reserve a room at the hotel they charge you an extra $29 hotel fee that you must use that same day or you lose it. Well let's just say that we weren't pleased with the restaurant as there was little gnat flies around the food while we were eating and the wine that we had ordered had some stuff on the bottom of the glass, not sure what it really was but they refunded the drink no questions asked. Then we went to enjoy the downstairs pool area with a propane fire pit which was not working as well. After going to front desk to see why it wasn't working, I spoke with an engineer who was on duty who said that they have been having issues with the gas hose leaking gas and that it was out of service. We then went to the opposite side where they had another fire pit wall area which they then turned on but again I had to waste my time to get all of this done and setup. So after this we went back to the room and noticed the lights above the bed were inoperable and wouldn't turn on, only the headboard lights worked. Also there was nowhere on the television to hook up a gaming device to the hdmi as the tv is basically plastered to the wall so my son couldn't enjoy his time in the room while sick. He ended up getting a fever, headache, runny nose ect. Also the mini fridge would not cool anything we put in there, every time we put the power on it would just turn back off, also the shower had low water pressure and the water was not hot only Luke warm. Also they charge you $40 to park at this place which is what they do for all hotels in this area. So upon leaving I brought up all of these issues and was assured that the notes were all taken. They even offered to cover the parking charge as an inconvenience for the troubles I had experienced. The person I had spoke too was called Lea or Leah, she was a Caucasian woman. Come to find out after contacting my booking agent they contacted the hotel and spoke to Luis or Louis (director of revenue) who assured the booking agent that they would cover the parking fee and not a penny more as they can't control the weather. So I had my travel agent contact them again to see if they could reimburse for the $29 hotel charge as well. They never picked up the phone again after many many attempts from the travel agent again, so i decided to give them a call and I was able to reach them right away??? They transferred me to Luis (Louis) but he didn't answer so I left a voicemail. My travel agent offered a $30 refund for the hassle but I wanted to wait first to get my refund from the hotel first. Come to find out when I called today Luis (Louise) never approved it and the hotel agent would not let me speak to him directly anymore. Again they said they cannot control the weather, I explained if they knew about this weather issue that they could just close the rooftop pool as it was not a good place for people to visit on this particular day, but they couldn't do that or people would be complaining ect Also they have no area for medicines in site after hours so I had to go around in the middle of the night looking for a store that was actually open as the 7-11's ect close early. I found a gas station open a few miles away that had some Tylenol for my son's headache and fever!!! This hotel is untrustworthy liars who only care about money and profits over a nice pricey vacation. Really over $40???? Yall should be ashamed for yourselves!!!! Stay away from this place at all costs no pun intended. Smh Also come to find out all of the issues I brought up the night before with night clerk named Rasheed we're never saved when I spoke the next day with Lea (Leah) all that they had written down was that the pool was cold.

    Ask the Community - The Viv Hotel

    Can you see the fireworks from the rooftop?

    Yes!

    Hi, I see there is a rooftop , can you see the Disneyland fireworks fro the roof?

    Yes!

    Is there parking available and is there early check in?

    There is parking for a price. Not cheap, check the hotel website. And sometimes early check in: base on status and availability

    Wondering what scent is used in the lobby? It smells AMAZING like citrus! I wanna buy it lol. Front desk guys didn't know when I asked.

    Call them they will tell you but my guess is "Attune" you can buy it on Amazon

The hotel itself feels a bit dated and could use some updates, but honestly, a room is a room--it serves its purpose. My main issue was the lack of communication and professionalism from the staff throughout my stay. For context, I am an IHG Platinum member. One of the benefits of Platinum status is eligibility for early check-in and room upgrades, both of which are subject to availability. I travel frequently and completely understand that these perks are never guaranteed. However, based on my experience and recommendations from hotel staff at other properties, I typically call the night before arrival to request that a note be added to my reservation regarding an early check-in request. The night before my arrival, I called the hotel and spoke with a front desk employee named Daisy. I politely asked if she could add a note to my reservation requesting early check-in. Her only response was, "Early check-in is subject to availability," which I already understood. What confused me was that she never asked for my name, confirmation number, or any information that would allow her to locate my reservation. When I pointed this out and asked how she could add a note without identifying my booking, she still refused to pull up my reservation. The call ended with no note added and a very poor impression of the hotel's customer service. The next morning, after landing around 7:00 AM, I called again hoping to speak with someone else. I was hoping to refresh before the rest of my day. This time I spoke with Elizabeth, who was much more helpful and was able to locate my reservation and add the note. I mentioned my experience from the previous evening, and her immediate response was, "Who said that?" I chose not to name anyone and simply explained what had happened. She told me she would do her best and said I should be able to get into a room around noon. Since I was already nearby, I slowly made my way to the hotel and arrived around 11:30 AM. Elizabeth was not there at the time, so I spoke with a male front desk employee and explained that I had been told a room would likely be available around noon. His immediate response was again, "Who said that?" It felt as though every staff member was more concerned with identifying who had provided information rather than helping the guest in front of them. The lack of communication between employees was becoming increasingly obvious. I then asked if I could at least begin the check-in process and park my car in the garage rather than continue occupying one of the check-in parking spaces. Only then did he ask for my reservation information. In my experience, most hotels are able to begin the check-in process even if the room is not quite ready. After parking and waiting a short while, Elizabeth returned around noon and was able to get me checked in. During check-in, I also requested a late checkout and was told that a 1:00 PM checkout had been approved. The communication issues continued the following day. My partner asked me to confirm our checkout time, so I stopped by the front desk. A male and female employee looked up my reservation and appeared confused, telling me there was no late checkout noted on the account. Once again, I had to explain that it had already been approved. And once again, I was asked who had approved it. Both employees then agreed to honor the 1:00 PM checkout. Even on the day of departure, the confusion persisted. While I was in the shower getting ready to leave, the room phone repeatedly rang. When I finally answered, a front desk employee asked whether I had a late checkout. I replied that I did. My entire stay felt like there was little to no communication between staff members. Every request seemed to require re-explaining the situation, and every interaction was met with questions about which employee had said what rather than a review of the reservation notes. As a loyal IHG member, this was one of the most frustrating hotel experiences I've had. Unfortunately, because of the poor communication and inconsistent customer service, I don't know if I would choose to stay at this property again.

My favorite items from the breakfast were oatmeal, banana, pound cake, hard boiled eggs, and the cheese cubes. The shower had what looked like 2 faucet types...the lower one had water that was too strong at times. Parking spaces were ok the narrow side but thankfully there were a good number of spaces open. Only 1-2 blocks from Disneyland and dca, which was very nice.

    Stayed at Candy Cane Inn for a Disneyland trip and paid about $280 for one night. At first it feels…read morepricey, but once you factor everything in, the value is actually there. Parking in the area usually runs $25-$45 a night, and we got free parking. We also had breakfast both days, which I'd easily value around $40 for a family of four. That's already close to $100 in savings, so you're really looking at about $180 for the room itself. You also get a trolley/shuttle to Disneyland, which adds even more convenience. We arrived early in the morning before check-in and were still able to grab breakfast. Even though the room wasn't ready yet, the staff let us check in smoothly, and we got the room later in the afternoon without any issues. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Not luxury, but well-maintained and exactly what you need after a long Disney day. Location is a big plus -- close enough to walk to Disneyland, which is huge when you have kids and don't want to deal with parking or long shuttles. Breakfast is one of the better continental options. Not a fancy buffet, but solid and convenient before heading out. Service was friendly and efficient. Staff handled early arrival well and made everything easy. Only downside -- I didn't notice an elevator, so keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage. You can also hear the trolley at times, especially at night, but it wasn't a big issue for me. I saw this mentioned in earlier reviews and it matched my experience. Overall, once you factor in free parking, breakfast, and the shuttle, it's actually a great value for Disneyland. Clean, easy, and family-friendly. I would come back.

We used this as our base for Aneheim - Disneyland, California Adventure and Knott's Berry Farm. The breakfast was super convenient - we loaded up on fruit (more like berry compote if you go earlier, less variety like just cantaloupe if you wake up late!), various breads, peanut butter, jelly, honey, coffee, yogurts, pancakes, french toast sticks; and oatmeal to stay healthy. Paid using our 12,000 points per night, and needed to pay for the $40/night for parking. While we tried the Toy Story parking and shuttle, the security line was really long at the time we went, and would've been way more convenient to just walk straight down to the parks. We also loved being near the very yummy Chubby Dumplings - just wished it was open later so I could've enjoyed it on my Disney days! I also used the CVS for last minute Disney items we forgot and Starbucks for a birthday drink nearby (otherwise, would've been perfectly happy with the complimentary coffee breakfast!).

    My star rating reflects what's reasonable to expect from a Hyatt House, not a luxury resort…read more I've been staying here for years, mostly for Disney trips. The staff here set the bar for what hotel customer service should look like. Over years of stays, I've never had an unfriendly interaction. When something has gone wrong, they've handled it without making me feel like I was asking for too much.The rooms are worn, it's an older property, but the pool, hot tub, and gym check all my boxes. Breakfast is standard Hyatt House fare. The location is fantastic- walking distance to Disney, right next to a Walgreens, CVS across the street for everything you forgot to pack. It's also right next to a mobile order Starbucks so you're ready to grab your caffeine and hit those parks!

I did not eat breakfast but it was well appointed. And the guests seemed to like it. I grab some hot coffee and it was good. My room was a king room on the end, 3rd floor. It was VERY quiet the first 2 nights. VERY. I got 2 great nights of sleep. The AC worked great (it was not a wall unit but a unit by the window). This is a super easy walk to the Toy Story parking lot. My room overlooked that lot. You can walk to the lot, go through security and hop on the Disney bus that lets you out right at the gate. Super convenient. CON-The 3rd night....there were maybe 3 teens staying in the room that connected to my assigned room. There was door connecting. They attempted to enter my room a few times. Which isn't super comfortable for a single, female traveler. Then they returned late (maybe they'd been at grad night?). They woke me up bc I could hear them. Is this the hotels fault? No. But it may cause me to pause when booking in the future. PRO-William and Jovani are the stars at the hotel. They were super friendly Everytime I saw them and asked if I needed anything. (Kevin and Adriana were also friendly).

The hotel staff was very professional and provided options to the third party booker to rectify the issue, but ultimately I ended up keeping the room that was reserved for me. Again, not the hotel's fault at all. Unfortunately, on the morning of my second day staying here I discovered three bites that appeared to be bed bug bites. We immediately contacted the front desk and they were extremely professional and were able to book us another room. I was pretty upset as it cut out 1-2 hours out of Disney since we had to pack our stuff and move...I ended up filing an incident report as it was recommended by Jeovanni to have it documented. Huge props to Jeovanni for his professionalism and assistance with the matter. Mishaps aside, we had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Comfortable beds (aside from the bed bugs...), decent free breakfast, and I loved the convienence to Disney. The Toy Story parking lot is around the corner so we took the shuttle from there to get to the park.
