this place is good enough. The only thing I can really mention as a drawback is that there weren't any lights by the bed. Also not any desk, but this is not the price point where you get an office in your room. Overall, you will enjoy your stay here. It's not that close to the Anaheim Convention Center, but it's a lot cheaper than the motels that are :D
