Courtyard Anaheim Buena Park
A Marriott-standard base with an outdoor pool
About this hotel
Courtyard Anaheim Buena Park runs on Marriott's standard playbook: a refrigerator and coffee maker in every room, a sitting area that gives a family somewhere to spread out beyond the bed, and an outdoor pool for a warm-season swim between Soak City days. The lobby's interactive GoBoard keeps parents on top of local weather and traffic before heading out, which matters on a morning drive toward Knott's Berry Farm or the wider Anaheim theme park corridor. A front-desk safety deposit box covers valuables during a pool afternoon, and free Wi-Fi throughout means the whole family can stay connected without relying on mobile data during a multi-day Orange County trip. The property sits close enough to both Soak City and Disneyland to work as a base for either park.

Our take
Courtyard Anaheim Buena Park suits families who want a dependable, mid-range chain hotel without hunting for boutique extras, with the outdoor pool and sitting-area rooms covering most practical needs. It works equally well as a Soak City base or a Disneyland-adjacent stay given its position between both. Families wanting a heated pool or full kitchen for a longer trip should look toward the Hyatt House or Hotel Pepper Tree options nearby instead.
- ✓Check the GoBoard in the lobby each morning for traffic before driving to Soak City or the Disneyland corridor.
- ✓Use the front-desk safety deposit box during pool afternoons rather than leaving valuables unattended in the room.
- ✓Book early for a summer stay, since this Buena Park stretch fills quickly once Soak City's peak season overlaps school holidays.
Why we love it

Why guests love itA family using Courtyard Anaheim Buena Park as a base for both Soak City and a later Disneyland day finds the sitting area genuinely useful once the kids need somewhere to settle that isn't the bed. The pool stays a straightforward outdoor rectangle, nothing elaborate, but it does the job after a long slides afternoon, and the lobby's GoBoard heads off a couple of wrong turns on the morning drive.
