The hotel rooms were awesome, just the right size for a family of four, equipped with a fridge, Keurig coffee maker, and a seating area. However, check-in might be delayed until after 5:30 PM. The location was excellent, very close to Disneyland and various eateries, making it easy to walk to the park. The service was top-notch, with the staff showing genuine care, even handling lost items professionally. The dining options were convenient, with nearby choices like IHOP and McDonald's for breakfast without needing to leave the hotel. The facilities offered were satisfactory, catering well to our needs.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a nice size but a bit outdated, backing onto the freeway. However, with the set up and the extra door on the deck, the room seemed fairly spacious for this type. It was definitely not as modern as the ones shown in the pictures, and the foot flush toilet was a surprise. The service was fantastic; they even surprised me with balloons and a card for my birthday. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, making my stay pleasant. The location is perfect for visiting Disneyland, with everything within walking distance. You can even catch the fireworks from the hot tub! However, the dining experience was not what I expected, as I was under the impression breakfast was included. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location was wonderful, right near Disneyland, and felt safe throughout my trip. The room was basic, like a motel room, but had some useful amenities like a small coffee maker and microwave. The service was very kind and helpful, although there was a mix-up with my booking initially. The dining options were limited and not exactly what I expected. Despite some minor drawbacks, the proximity to Disneyland and the cleanliness of the place made it a good choice for my stay.

I woke up every morning to stunning views of the monorail and matterhorn from my balcony, making the hotel a perfect spot for any Disney visit. The rooms were spacious, clean, and filled with fun artwork, complete with a Kurig coffee maker for a cozy start to each day. The service was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff always ready to assist. The location couldn't have been better; within walking distance to Disneyland and surrounded by plenty of dining options. Although the hotel lacked dining choices and the noise from the nearby freeway could be heard in the room, the overall experience was delightful.

Staying at this hotel felt like a dream come true being so close to Disneyland, with themed pictures and coordinating colors adding to the magical atmosphere.
