489 guest rooms on a 13 acre site.
This hotel is noted for providing temporary shelter for a little over six months to the Anaheim residents that were displaced after the devistating "Ball-Euclid" fire of April 1982, which originated early in the morning of April 21, during an extreme Santa Ana wind condition, and which eventually consumed over 50 buildings and 500 apartment units that were nearly all covered by flammable wood shake roofs.
A total of 118 fire companies from departments throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties engaged the wind-driven conflagration, which was only extinguished after a late-afternoon break in the winds.
This fire would prompt legislation banning non-fire-retardant roofs in Anaheim and in many other cities. ~phiz 7/30/07
