Negative Reviews
negative:
Starting to show signs of age
For some guests, the luxurious feel was just slightly lacking, with some feeling that a little redecoration would return this great resort to its former glory.
negative:
Its size can be tiring
Due to the large size of Disney's Grand Californian, some guests were frustrated and tired after it seemed to take a long time to walk from the hotel entrance to their rooms. After a long day at the park, some guests felt that they could do without the extra wandering.
negative:
Be prepared to spend lots of money
One of the only issues that guests had was the cost of things at this hotel. Although some expect to pay higher prices in a luxurious resort, others were disappointed with the lack of value they felt they received when purchasing drinks and food, particularly through room service.
