This was the best hotel!! The staff was incredibly nice - went out of their way to help when we had issues with the rollaway bed. They ended up bringing us 3 different ones because the first two were uncomfortable. Had an awesome room location and the pool is perfect for little ones!

The room was very clean and updated, the staff was friendly and very accommodating - they put our two rooms together and our room came equipped with an infant crib. The splash park was perfect for our toddlers during breaks from Disneyland. The store was open and fully stocked with anything we could need! We will definitely be staying here again for future Disneyland trips!

The rooms were very clean and the staff was very nice. The property as a whole is very well maintained. Just be aware that if you stay on the second floor in their older buildings, there are no curtains on the arched ceiling windows so you won’t be able to sleep in if that’s what you’re looking for. It worked out well for us because we are early risers anyways.

The fanAC in the room didn’t work so our room was stuffy and warm. Despite the room being cleaned on our second day, not all towels were replaced and the tissue box was out and not replaced.
