Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim
Been coming here for years . This last visit could have been better . You can hear everything from the outside so didn’t get much sleep the first night . Mattress was really worn and not comfortable . This is a great hotel and location with good breakfast but needs some updates . Noise insulation ...
