Four Points by Sheraton in Anaheim, California, close to Disneyland.

Deciding on which hotel to stay at when planning a trip to Disneyland can be a daunting task. There are countless options within walking distance to Disneyland, each offering their own varying nightly rates and amenities.

If you’re like most guests, staying at one of the three Disney hotels would be preferable. Unfortunately, the sky-high rates price many guests out. However, that shouldn’t stop you from going to Disneyland, as there are plenty of affordable options nearby. Enter, Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

I’ve stayed at this property a couple of times and generally have had positive experiences. The rates are often reasonable, especially considering the hotel’s proximity to Disneyland, the amenities are decent and the customer service is phenomenal.

The property was previously owned by Casa Resorts and operated under the name, Hotel Menage. Sometime in 2015 or 2016, Casa Resorts was bought out by Sheraton, who then rebranded the property under their Four Points banner.

I have no previous experience with Hotel Menage, but two good friends of mine have stayed there a number of times and described staying there as a, “great experience”, every time. Does Four Points live up to Hotel Menage’s solid reputation?

Four Points by Sheraton Location

The front entrance to Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim near Disneyland.

Four Points is located on the intersection of South Harbor Blvd. and Ball Road. It’s on the other side of the overpass from Disneyland, so the back of the property hugs right up against Interstate 5. Its exact address is 1221 South Harbor Blvd., Anaheim, CA, 92805.

Because you’re sandwiched between a freeway and a busy city street, there is going to be traffic noise no matter which direction your room faces. The pool facing rooms, while the most scenic, are also freeway facing. Keep this in mind when booking.

In my honest opinion, the traffic noise didn’t bother me much (not accounting for random police sirens). I’m one of those weird people who fall asleep better with ambient noises going on around me. That said, I’ve stayed in rooms facing both directions and found the freeway side less bothersome.

Many may view being right up against the freeway as a bad thing, but there is an upside that many don’t realize. We’ll get into that upside further into the review…

Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim to Disneyland

Whether or not Four Points is in what’s considered a “walkable” distance to Disneyland entirely depends on what you consider walkable. I’ve timed my walks to and from the hotel and Disneyland, which distance-wise is just under a mile, and came up with an average walk time of 19 minutes. To me, a 10-20 walk to the parks is decent, but not great.

The walk is a straight-shot to the parks and aside from the elevation change on the overpass, it’s flat and along a well-maintained sidewalk. I did notice a couple homeless encampments near the overpass but once you get to the “Disney side”, it’s free and clear.

However, something to consider, especially if you have small children and strollers with you, you will need to cross over a rather large overpass with two sets of on/off ramps to negotiate. My wife and I had no issues, but towing small children over an overpass in a city with aggressive drivers makes it a bit worrisome.

That said, Four Points is part of the ART shuttle network, with a pick up/drop off spot right at the front door. Additionally, summoning a ride share is fairly easy, though it does get a bit convoluted given the hotel’s corner location.

Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim Prices and Parking

Entrance to the elevator at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

For the most part, I feel the nightly rates at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim to be reasonable, especially considering its proximity to Disneyland. Throughout the year, nightly rates tend to be sub-$200 during the week, if prepaid. If you’re wishing to pay when you arrive, the rates rise to the low $200’s.

Weekend rates, when prepaid, tend to hover just below or just over the $200 mark. If not prepaid, expect to pay from the low to mid $200’s on average. On certain weekends and holidays the rate does flirt with and exceed the $300 mark as well.

There is on-site parking, with the majority being behind a coded gate. Additionally, there are several EV charging stations. Parking doesn’t come cheap, as you can expect to pay $33.99 per night as of January 2025. This is always a point of contention with me, as I feel hotels nickel and dime their guests by charging them to park.

By comparison, Hotel Indigo Anaheim, which is located on Katella but almost the exact distance from the park as Four Points, doesn’t charge parking or resort fees. Sure, their nightly rate is higher, but the amenities and rooms are superior, in my opinion.

Common Area Amenities

The lobby seating at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

In my experiences with Four Points, their property has always been neat, clean and mostly well-maintained. I say, “mostly”, because the property does show obvious and not-so obvious signs of ware. For example, the elevator doors have numerous scratches and discoloration marks that could easily be fixed with a bit of paint.

On the flip side, the employees are great. Every staff member my wife and I encountered during my two stays were always smiling, said hello, asked how my day was going, etc. They’re truly great people who care about your stay and how it’s going.

The Tru Grit restaurant inside Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

In the lobby area is their on-site restaurant, Tru Grits. My wife and I tried the breakfast there (which isn’t included in your rate, by the way) and found it to just be ok. It’s all-you-can-eat, but to us it wasn’t worth the $25 per adult charge.

On the lobby side is a small cafe offering quick bites, such as breakfast sandwiches, Starbucks coffee, parfaits, and more. Personally, I recommend the breakfast sandwiches here over paying for the breakfast at Tru Grits as they’re much better.

The outdoor pool at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

The outdoor pool at Four Points is where the property shines. There’s a decently-sized wading pool and one adjacent jacuzzi. The pool is oddly shaped, making lap swimming challenging, but not impossible.

Additionally, there’s an abundance of seating around the pool, including covered options and palm trees dotting the landscape around the pool, giving it more of a beach resort vacation-vibe compared to a theme park trip.

What makes it even better is it’s open 24/7. Let me tell you, there is no better feeling than returning from a long day at the park and being able to sit in a jacuzzi. In my opinion, Four Points has one of the best pools of any hotel within walking distance to Disneyland.

Additional amenities include complimentary coffee and fruit-infused water and in the lobby, a fitness center (24 hour access), dry cleaning service, business center, an abundance of seating space in the lobby, ADA accessible rooms and check in desk, automatic lobby doors, physical access key, digital room access via the Bonvoy app, complimentary WiFi and a convenience store.

Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim Two-Queen Room

Two queen bedroom at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

The rooms are fairly basic, but they do offer a few welcomed amenities. In the times that I’ve stayed here, I’ve stayed in a two-queen and a king room. Both are identical in size and amenities, with the only difference being the extra bed and their respective sizes.

All rooms at Four Points by Sheraton feature faux-wood flooring. I know a lot of folks prefer carpet but for me, my preference has always been hard flooring. It’s easier for staff to keep clean and sanitized. Plus, it’s far and away more visually appealing.

My first negative remark pertains to the lack of USB ports in the room. There are a couple scattered about here and there, but not nearly enough. It’s a good thing I brought my Anker 6-USB/USB-C charging port or I would’ve had to go without charging a couple devices.

The hand soap and body lotion provided at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

Honestly, while the bathroom does the job just fine, it leaves much to be desired. The sink counter is separated from the shower and toilet, making it easier for groups of two or more to prepare themselves for a day at Disneyland. There are rooms where the sink and bathroom are conjoined in the same space, though.

The bathroom itself is small, with a traditional tub-style shower. Families with small children will likely appreciate this, but I tend to favor walk-in showers myself (their suites feature walk-in showers). The water pressure from the shower head was abysmal, in my experience. This wasn’t just a one-off, as it was the case during my second stay as well.

The sink counter featured additional storage space for towels (or whatever else you’d want to put away). Typical amenities were provided, such as hand soap, tissue, mouthwash, hair blower and body lotion. In the shower were full-size bottles of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.

The armoire in the rooms at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

To me, the best feature of our room was the semi-large, brown-wood armoire located adjacent to the sink/bathroom. The left side of the armoire is basically storage, with space to put away your suitcases and bags, with room to hang jackets and shelf storage above that.

On the right side is where your mini-fridge and digitally keyed safe are located. These were nice amenities by the property to include. The safe appears small, but it was large enough for me to store my Macbook Pro, with plenty of room to spare.

The coffee and tea provided by Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

Above the safe and mini-fridge is a small coffee maker with a variety of complimentary coffee and tea samples, as well as sugar and other accompanists. I’m happy to report that the coffee maker was clean, unlike my horrific discovery in my room at J Resort Reno.

As far as the bedding is concerned, I found their mattresses to be a bit too soft. I prefer my mattresses firmer, with just some give. Additionally, the pillows were incredibly thin, which tends to be a common occurrence at Marriott-owned properties.

I can tolerate a lot of things, but a dirty room isn’t one of them. I’m happy to report that being dirty wasn’t an issue during either of my stays. However, the weak water pressure, uncomfortable mattress/pillows, and faulty A/C unit doesn’t have me in a hurry to book another stay here, despite all the positives.

Four Points by Sheraton Disneyland Fireworks View

Remember at the beginning of this post when I teased an upside to being hugged up against the freeway? Well…

Another positive about Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim is the unique view of the Disneyland fireworks. The hotel is situated behind Disneyland’s ToonTown, which is where Disney launches their fireworks from. During nights when Disney holds a show, you’ll get a uniquely awesome perspective.

You won’t have the accompanying music, of course, but you’ll get a fantastic (and not to mention, crowd-free) view nonetheless. This could also be looked at as a negative, though. No matter which side of the property your room faces, you’re going to hear the fireworks loud and clear. Prepare yourself for that.

Is Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim Pet Friendly?

The entrance to Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim.

Yes, this property is pet friendly. There are numerous grassy areas scattered around the outer perimeter of Four Points, but there’s no officially designated, fenced-off area for dogs. Additionally, most of the grassy areas are adjacent to busy streets, South Harbor and Ball.

In addition to your nightly rate, you’ll need to pay a non-refundable $150 fee per pet with a maximum of two per room and a 75-pound weight limit. Note that this is per stay and not per night. Not bad considering most hotels are charging nightly fees for pets now.

All in all, I feel Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim has a lot going for it and is worth considering. The 24 hour access to the pool is a welcomed and rare perk, and the fact that it’s within walking distance to Disneyland adds a few points to the pile.

However, the egregious parking fees, uncomfortable (to me) bedding, and thin walls leave a lot to be desired. If you’re flying into Anaheim, then the parking fees won’t matter to you. Conversely, if you enjoy a comfortable night’s rest and prefer a firmer mattress, then that may be a problem.

All in all, I wouldn’t mind staying here again. I do feel there are better options for the money, though, including my current favorite that you can read about here. What about you?
