littleleaguemom,

I'm certain your Dad's room overlooked the newly refurbished indoor/outdoor pool at the Marriott Anaheim, and possibly that accounts for the confusion over the water view! I stayed there in August, also on the Concierge level, a few doors down, apparently, from your Dad's room, and I can confirm that it was a pool and not an ocean.

By the way, the hotel staff was wonderful there, especially Georgianne in the Concierge lounge. She treated my children as if they were her own, bringing them coloring books, special Marriott treats, and delivering warm, fresh baked cookies to our room after our long day in the Disneyland Parks. (I made sure, as always, to write a very complimentary letter to both the hotel manager and Marriott corporate to let them know how great the staff was.) I was thrilled to get this hotel for $99, and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I'd love to know how you got it for $32, with an upgrade no less!
