Located across the street from Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel offers a convenient place to take in the whole Disney experience. Shop in the Downtown Disney District down the street or venture out into Anaheim's many sites and restaurants. The convention center is located two blocks away. The 15-story hotel features 502 guest rooms decorated with framed Disney prints and Disney character bedspreads. The décor, with its eggshell walls and nautical theme, is soothing and understated. The rooms come with armchairs that fold out into single beds to accommodate for extra guests. Cable TV with free Disney Channel (of course) and wake-up calls made by Disney characters are also available. Guests have the privilege of using an exclusive entrance to enter Disney's California Adventure. Another feature is the Minnie and Friends breakfast at the PCH Grill. Although overpriced, kids can enjoy dining with costumed Disney characters. The third-floor rooftop offers a spa tub and outdoor pool where guest can relax and watch Disneyland's nightly fireworks show. A major concern is the slow elevator service. With only four elevators serving a 15-story building, it can take several minutes to wait for an available ride. Another drawback is that this hotel does not actually contain that special Disney atmosphere found in other Disney hotels. The more understated, more mature ambiance may be preferable to some but when you're paying for a Disney hotel, you should get the full Disney effect.
