Top Seal Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, Hotel LuLu is an excellent find. The location was perfect. Our rooms were large, clean and comfortable. We were traveling with adult children and our request for rooms to near or be near or in close proximity to each other was honored. It did take several message requests through Hotels.com to get a simple question answered, but it was finally taken care of. My number one pet peeve with any hotel (and I travel frequently) is not having enough towels. Most people use 2 bath towels per shower, yet most hotels only provide 3 per room. Hotel LuLu had 4 large, fluffy bath towels, along with plenty of face towels and wash cloths. This alone deserves 5 stars in my opinion :) However, for this being such a nice hotel and being labeled as "Premier" the fancy appearing hot water kettle and INSTANT coffee with powdered creamer didn't suffice. PLEASE add in-room brewing ability and upgrade the condiments for coffee. We didn't use the restaurant, but it appeared to be more of a ghost kitchen. The free cocktail in the evening was heavenly. The pool was perfect in size and water temperature. The poolside bar was excellent. We will definitely stay here on our next Disney adventure."

"The room and bathroom were clean. The bed was comfy. The part of the hotel we were in seemed a little older, and the walk to the primary elevator and self-parking lot was a little farther than expected. Staff was friendly. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our very short stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Only two nits regarding the property. 1. Narrow parking spaces (most of them). Admittedly I was driving a midsized SUV, but I did find some good spots). 2. The main restaurant/bar opened at 5 pm. Great aspects: a. Room was clean and well appointed. It was also ready almost 1.5 hours early and the hotel called me to let me know. b. The staff was very helpful. We were in a multi room group and they put us in rooms that were close or adjoining. Didn’t even have to ask! c. The pool was nice with lots of chairs, towels and umbrellas. d. There were 4 restaurants (Denny’s, IHOP, Tony Romas and a small coffee,pastry shop within 150-200’ from our room - literally a 5 minute walk. e. As advertised the hotel is about 2-3 blocks from your room to the ticket gates/entrance to Disneyland and California Adventure. It’s actually a shorter walk than from the Disneyland Hotel. This hotel is about a 15-18 minute walk to Downtown Disney (and much less expensive). Our families will definitely stay here again!"
