Hyatt Regency Orange County Review

Hyatt Regency Orange County is a large convention hotel in Garden Grove, California, and its proximity to Disneyland makes it an ideal base camp for families. Made up of two towers, North and South, it has the clean exterior and scale you would expect of a city hotel, and compared with the smaller properties around Disneyland, it offers noticeably more dependable service and facilities.

Thanks to our Globalist benefits, we stayed in a One-Bedroom King Suite and had plenty of room to spread out. Given how expensive this area gets in peak season for a Disneyland trip, booking with points and getting a suite upgrade through elite benefits was a very efficient choice. On a trip where theme park days wear you out quickly, the spacious room and convenient facilities were key to making the stay a satisfying one.

The One-Bedroom King Suite in the North Tower, which we were assigned through our Hyatt Globalist benefits, had an unusual layout with the bedroom near the entrance and the living room further in. By the living room window sit a gray fabric sofa, a coffee table, and a media unit with the TV, and the window looks out over the Garden Grove cityscape. A microwave built into the bottom of the desk in the bedroom area (in a slightly odd spot) was very handy for simple meals in the room.

Overall, the room focuses on practicality for families rather than flashy design. The living area can serve as a second bedroom with the sofa bed, which suits families traveling with kids, and the bedding and mattress offer the reliable comfort you would expect from the Hyatt Regency brand. Couples may find the layout a bit unfamiliar, but having that much space to use freely is a clear advantage.

Breakfast is served at the hotel's TusCA restaurant, where you can choose between the buffet and the à la carte menu. The buffet has fruit and yogurt kept fresh on ice, a variety of pastries and muffins, and a neatly arranged hot food section. From the à la carte menu I tried the Mexican-style huevos rancheros, with avocado, eggs, and salsa on a black tortilla, and it was full of flavor.

With its high ceilings and clear glass globe lights, the restaurant has a calm, modern feel. The Globalist breakfast benefit let us start the day with a hearty meal at no extra cost, and it was the perfect place to fuel up before heading to Disneyland.

There are two heated outdoor pools and a whirlpool spa, suitable for relaxing after a long day at the theme park or for children to enjoy some water play.

The hotel features tennis and basketball courts, providing enough space for families to stay active without leaving the property.

In the evenings, a fire pit is available on the third floor of the South Tower. It hosts small activities for children, such as roasting marshmallows for s'mores, which is a nice touch for families.

The parking lot is outdoors and gated, which provides peace of mind. From our room, the lot appeared quite large, and we had no trouble finding a spot during our stay. The parking fee is $35 per night, or $42 for valet.

Late checkout was honored on this stay: 2 PM

The greatest strength of the Hyatt Regency Orange County is its proximity to Disneyland. You can take the Disneyland shuttle from the lobby, which costs $7 per person per day for ages 4 and up. Shuttle information is available in real-time via lobby monitors, making it much more efficient than driving yourself. There is a Starbucks in the lobby, which is convenient for mobile order pickups. While there is no club lounge, the room upgrade and breakfast benefits for Globalist members, combined with the hotel's utility as a base camp for Disneyland, make it a compelling choice. A resort fee of $20 per night applies.
