What a fantastic hotel for a trip to Disneyland! This property goes that extra mile to ensure your comfort and safety such as a cover on the door peep hole and a metal hotel door stop. The hotel grounds are beautiful, the staff are fantastic, and I can’t say enough about the comfortable bed we had! I highly recommend it!

The location is close to Disneyland and the price was reasonable. However, our room was a little run down. There was a bench missing the top. There was an also a giant skylight making the room bright around 5:30am. The water park is a top hit for this location but we didn’t get a chance to visit, as we were busy at the park.

We had 2 Jr Suites both rooms and property were immaculate. Suites were roomy and well appointed: super functional design. All staff were accommodating, friendly and helpful. In particular Sam and Fernando went above and beyond in helping to make our stay exceptional — helping to arrange for an electric scooter; attempting to fix a problematic TV in one of the suites. Unfortunately, there was a small blip in both of the suites one evening when we were without heating (housekeeping brought up extra blankets) and all was in working order the next evening. However, this is the reason for the 4 Star rather than a 5 Star review. Nevertheless, because of both Sam and Fernando’s welcoming hospitality and professional attitudes we would still stay at this property again.

The room was so humid it made the windows damp. Also the downstairs hallway flooded and they just left the water there all night and it was very damp and the inside windows leading out were all wet because of the dampness. It was not the best experience.

Had the best day Front Office was super helpful. I love the pool. The lifeguards are super nice. The cleaning crew was on point with everything we had no issues this trip. The only thing this place needs is a wheelchair access closer to the corner street so that we don’t have to go all the way past the gift shop to get into the buildings, especially when staying in building two but even with that I will continue coming back over and over again
