Brilliant hotel and facilities

barbara c on May 29, 2024

This wasn't my first choice of hotel to be honest with you . But what a pleasant surprise. I stayed here for 12 nights with my Daughter we had the best time. Its about 30 mins walk to disneyland but there is a shuttle bus that runs about every 30mins until 30mins after disneyland closing. It costs $6 per adult for as many times in a day that you want. It's much needed after walking around disneyland all day . The room was clean and roomy we had 2 double beds . Coffee maker ,fridge and microwave were in the room. Also a safe and toiletries were provided. The hotel is manned for 24hours a day so there is always someone on hand. There's a laundry room $3 for a load of laundry and another $3 for dryer. The machines are card operated not coin. There's a small shop in the foyer for a few essentials.. I would really recommend this hotel the staff were brilliant and wouldn't hesitate staying again. Lovely pool and hot tub. I could see the fireworks from my room which was facing the freeway. I wasn't disturbed by the freeway though. Also before anyone was wondering the WiFi is fast and a good signal.

Nice hotel with easy access to Disneyland

Lisa_GBP (London, Canada) on Apr 24, 2024

We stayed here for four nights in April 2024 while we were on a California trip with our 6 year old daughter. We quite enjoyed this hotel as a place to stay with easy access to Disneyland. There is a shuttle/bus transportation stop right outside the hotel on the sidewalk. It's $6/day for adults and $2.50/day for children under 12, and you can travel with on-off privileges all day. The schedule changes mid-day, so we would suggest downloading the app to be able to track the bus to see when it will be at the hotel (during peak times in the morning and evening, it stops at the hotel approximately every 20 minutes, but during mid-day, it's about every 45 minutes). The ride to Disney is about 15 minutes and drops off right on Disney property outside the gates. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and the hotel staff were all very friendly. We ordered take out to take to our room from the on-site restaurant, and it was pretty good (and reasonably priced). The pool is quite deep (even in the shallow end), with the shallowest point at about 3.5 feet. Our daughter went in briefly but was too short to be able to touch, so she didn't stay in long (she is a good swimmer but couldn't get relief to stand up and said it was chilly). We would definitely return to this hotel if we return to the Anaheim area in the future.

Good deal in a convenient spot

Karen Z (Ann Arbor, MI) on Mar 06, 2024

We were in the area for a softball tournament, not the Disney attractions, and we were just crashing in the room and not spending a lot of time at the hotel or its environs. It was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and well-kept. Parking was easy. Front desk staff very friendly; I appreciated Jenny who checked me in. It was a little noisy at times because the hotel hosts families with excited kids, but that's part of the Anaheim experience. It was fun riding down in the elevator with families heading out for a day of adventure and seeing those excited little faces. We had dinner one night at the Burger Spot which was doing "carryout only" because the bartender was the only one front-of-house, but he was super friendly and was open to us eating our food in the dining room.

ROACHES FOR ROOMMATES!!

wendi m on Feb 24, 2024

Pros: Cost reasonable Cons: You get what you pay for You'll get no compensation for any issues, just an apology. Plumbing sucks, all drains backed up. ROACHES FOR ROOMMATES!!!! Unacceptable to know that these bugs are in the room with your family, your luggage, etc. Management/ ownership really doesn't care about your complaints.
