Great Stay!
The stay was incredible and the room was so very amicable. So much so that I plan on bringing my boyfriend with me to treat him. I checked in with Evelyn, and she was absolutely amazing.

Perfect location and such nice staff
My sister and I always stay here for our park visits! You can’t beat the convenience. We also love the little store to grab snacks and waters.

They not only took care of us with the scooters that were rented, but then made sure that our room was accessible for it. Very friendly with great opportunities for the whole family!

Great stay for Disney
Great view for the fireworks at Disney and the room was nice overall. Only complaint was the big dome windows on the top floor floors Don’t have any coverings so it’s very bright in the morning.

Our room was very clean, super comfortable, had nice pillows and bedding. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly. This was a return stay for us and is our default place when coming to Disneyland.

Would stay again !
Staff were very friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Offered us early check in which we needed since we arrived very early from our flight. Super close to the entrance to the park maybe about 8-10 minutes.

Do not recommend- better hotels in the area.
The room itself was nice and clean. They had cute decorations around the grounds and it was very clean. And they had a cute touch of sending a letter from Santa to my 4 year old that left a letter in their lobby.
Pool areas were okay- not as big as the pictures make them look.
However- this hotel charged much more than we were originally quoted through Hotels.com. Tried charging us a late check out fee even though we were out at 11am (they did refund this eventually). Charged for a rollaway bed but never informed us there would be a separate charge. And then another $75 for parking.
For that alone- would not recommend unless you plan on spending $150+ from your original quote. We chose this one because it was cheaper than our normal hotel that’s right across the street. And ended up paying even more with a further walk.
Also hotel is not very close and after a long day at Disney that walk seems even longer and it’s tucked away by the freeway where a lot of transients are.
