Love the location and easy walk to Disneyland--you don't even have to cross a street. I also love the suite with two rooms for more privacy. The breakfast being included is also a wonderful addition. The price is also reasonable and a good value. We have stayed there before and would return. Areas for improvement: One of the rooms has the air conditioning in it so when the door is closed that room gets cold and the other room is too warm. The cold room has one thin blanket so we always have to ask the desk for another one (or two). Also, one room has a window into an atrium that has a light that shines all night directly into the window. Even when the shudders are closed it is still really bright.

Good spot, bad beds

Good area, convenient to the park, however, our beds were bad. Quite stiff and uncomfortable with butcher paper sheets. Maybe we just got some bad beds.

Okay for proximity to parks, could use updating

Hotel accomodations good, hotel amenities mediocre...Bed was comfortable and the pool was clean. Our room floor smelled like diarrhea even though I reported it. The smell never improved despite maid service. The room's bathroom is a nice size and the walk in closet is a plus. Breakfast is sort of gross and bland and gets borring because they serve canned fruit cocktail, powdered eggs, and frozen sausages every day, but other people seemed to think it was ok. Overall the hotel and breakfast menu could use a bit of a refresh but the staff was friendly and you can see their efforts to keep the facility clean.

I was frustrated as I booked a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite and was given 2 adjoining rooms. Normally this would not be a big deal except it was me my husband and 4 minors. The reason I booked the room I did was there is only 1 door to the hall. I explained to the staff my concern and the lady at the front was very dismissive of my concern with having 2 doors accessing the hall. Also the rooms we were given were street side with no blackout curtains so it never got fully dark in the room the shutters were broken. It was very loud both nights.

Family friendly, great staff

Room service options and delivery were great. You are also right next to a 7-11 and a mini mart (you can instacart as well) so you literally have everything you need in one place. Staff were friendly and helpful. They hold your bags up to 24hr if your checkout is before your flight. Walk to Disneyland is 10min or less depending on how fast you walk. Be aware the west coast has much snobbier guests and tourists than Disney World. People walk sporadically and stop all over the place but get mad if you pass them.

Ok stay

Enjoyable stay, fast check in and easy check out. The only issue was the AC in our room did not work properly. The room was 80 degrees on a California summer day. We went to the front desk they did send maintenance quickly which he changed the filter but after that still didn’t work. When we arrived the room smelled like humidity and was scorching hot. Once we turned the ac on it didn’t work after 3 hours being in the room. If you’re only planning to stay just to sleep this is a good option.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Rooms were nice and clean, the room service options I ordered were delicious, and the walk to Disneyland was just a few blocks. Another huge plus was that we were able to check in early upon arriving at noon (although I know this is based solely on availability). Everything was really great for the price!

Outside traffic kept waking me up. We had a 1 bedroom suite with kitchen on the third floor. The outlets also sucked. There was 4 adults and we tried every combination of our fast charging cords and 3 different outlets and none of them charged at a reasonable speed. My phone for example can charge 50% in 30 min at home. I had my phone plugged in 2.5 hours and it gained TWELVE percent! 12! Again this was using apples fast charging cord and adapter. The same was true for charging my Apple Watch. I ended up charging my watch and phone with my battery pack I pre charged at home and even that charged both devices at least twice as fast as these outlets. The pull out couch was extremely uncomfortable too which was a huge downfall. The breakfast options were plentiful, but none of them were quality. We ended up buying groceries to make our own because the provided breakfast was that nasty. The kitchen was nice, the elevator was fast, and I enjoyed the fruit water in the lobby (when it was actually there, it seemed to never be there in the morning before 10am).
