Housed in a mock Tudor castle on 13 manicured acres, complete with rose garden and koi pond, the Sheraton Anaheim is centrally located between the Long Beach and John Wayne airports and close to beaches, baseball, golf courses and Disneyland. The rooms are spacious and modern, smoke-free, and dog friendly. In fact, Sheraton will provide Tramp and Lady with their own beds. A cleaning fee of $25 per pooch applies (service animals are exempt from weight restrictions and fees). After the family gets back from Disneyland via the free shuttle, Mom and Dad might have a tall cold one in the hotel lounge while the kiddies are engaged with the hotel’s babysitting service or otherwise occupied in the video arcade.

The hotel is set up for meetings, retreats and conferences, with 15 meeting rooms named after historic regions in England, ranging in size from the 500-square-foot Kent Room to the 8,280-square-foot Kensington Ballroom. There’s also a 930-square-foot executive boardroom that’s appointed with the sort of dark wood paneling, overhead beams and sideboard that Henry VIII would appreciate. Outdoors, the Pond Courtyard and the Rose Garden stretch across 2,600 square feet and 2,400 square feet, respectively.

The Sheraton has banquet facilities for 1,000 people. Smaller parties might want to try the Garden Court Bistro, the California Deli or the Garden Court Bar and Lounge. Off the premises, Downtown Disney offers Mediterranean, Asian and other world dining as well as regional American cooking from barbecue to jambalaya, while on the other side of Interstate 5 the Anaheim White House is famous for its northern Italian steak and seafood. Over in nearby Fullerton, the Cellar Restaurant—designed and built by some of the same craftsmen who constructed the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, oddly enough—is stocked with one of the most extensive wine lists in the area.
