Fodor's Expert Review The Viv Hotel

This family-friendly hotel offers spacious guest rooms and Disney magic throughout, from the blue fiberglass-and-resin life-size Star Wars Stormtroopers who greet guests arriving from the parking garage to the Fantasia-style hallway carpet and the views of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park from some rooms. It's less than a 2-mile walk or drive to Disneyland and the Convention Center. There are two heated swimming pools and three food and beverage venues, including the tallest rooftop pool, lounge, and fine dining restaurant offering magnificent views of both Disney Parks and Anaheim and those Disneyland fireworks.
