Good but not Great

I'll start with the good. Great hotel staff; they never missed the chance to greet you with a smile. Parking was relatively simple. Rooms were in great shape. Now for the bad. First night, there must have been a rave going on in the room above us or someone was river-dancing because we heard stomp-crack-stomp from 5 am until we pried ourselves out of be at 9am. We were looking forward to the breakfast only to find make-it-yourself waffles, greasy sausage patties and potatoes, and watery scrambled eggs. Finally, disneyland is right across the street but only if you consider a good 15 min walk "down the street". I would say check it out if it were like 99$ a night but definitely not for 150$ a night.

Hotel was OK

The hotel location was ok, but wish there was a hotel shuttle to drop off at the park. The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom soap didn't smell very good. Free breakfast was pretty good, but very crowded.

Awesome Location!

Got a great deal on our room, King size suite. Loved the private living room, 2 tvs, ac, bedding... etc etc. Room was very clean, housekeeping was very consistent. Free parking. Decent sized outdoor pool. Didn't eat in the hotel's cafe as we were so close to so many great places to graba bite at. Did get sick of the breakfast after 10 days, but since it's included, can't complain too much about free donuts and juice etc etc. A quick walk to Disney, malls, convention center, near major 1-5 freeways, one turn to San Diego, one turn to LA...

You get what you pay for...

From the pictures described shown on the website, the rooms looked fantastic. But reality set in the night we arrived. But can't complain because you do get what you pay for. I booked a very affordable Disney Vacation. The rooms are comfortable after a long day. They are functional, not frilly. One day we came back and saw that a little critter (roach) had somehow gotten into our room, but it was not big deal, the staff offered to switch rooms for us and came up and took care of the situation quickly. I would stay again, but I would definitely upgrade my room to a suite!

family reunion

stay was good overall. The breakfast buffet was nice but they need more variety of foods instead of the same meal every day. ex. change sausage to bacon., different types of cereal, maybe some biscuits with gravy.

Great hotel, walking distance to park

I picked this hotel because we got a good deal on [...]and I didn't want to have to pay for parking at Disneyland for 3 days. When we arrived at the hotel there was quite a bit of parking since it was a Thursday we had no problem checking in and receiving our Disneyland tickets. The room was okay it wasn't the best room I have ever stayed in and not the worst either. We were able to walk to Disneyland and I loved that we were able to come back to the room if we needed for lunch and what not. We explored the restaurants around the park since we did not want to spend a ton of money eating inside and what a mistake that was! The Chinese place across the street was horrible! It looked like it was a month old and was just sitting there and dry. My Boyfriend was sick all night. I decided to go to the pizza place next door cause there was quite a few people in there and it was also a waste of money! Clearly, the people were just there for the beer. Either go with subway or get in the car and go down the street to BK. Also, save money D-Land lets you take food into the park I was so pleased! Overall, we will be staying again unless the prices go up then I will have to reconsider.

Great Hotel

Booked this hotel with a 30% off sale [...]. It was a great hotel, very nice and good customer service! Some not so great things were that [...] said a breakfast buffet had ham or bacon. This place only has sausage, which my husband hates. Another thing is we would take nap in the heat of the day, and the maids have these LOUD carts they push through the halls that woke me up every ten minutes. If you don't mind those things this is a great hotel to go to Disneyland.

Great Hotel

The hotel was very spacious and great to have a different sitting area. The water pressure coming out of the a bit sluggish when in the shower and the pillows were a bit on the flatter side. Other than that it was a GREAT trip and a nice relaxing hotel and great for families.

Disneyland was about a 10 minute walk from the hotel not hard at all but the Anaheim Resort shuttle picks up right in front of the 7-11 next to the hotel.
