“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

I agree with every positive thing that has been said, the only negative was the price milk in the hotel gift shop. I get that I am a captive audience but $4.95 for a small containter of milk is insane! That being said we will definately stary here again, i'll just stop somewhere else for milk.

“Great location and hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Just returned from a three day trip to Disneyland with the family (three kids) and this hotel was very nice and the location was amazing. Basically a 20 minute walk to the park entrance and we were ready to go. The only negative I have with this area is the selection of places to eat near the hotel is underwhelming. I really enjoy good food while I'm on vacation and this area does not deliver. Other than that our room was clean, the staff at the front desk were very helpful and polite and my kids went nuts at the hotel's small water playground. My wife and I both agree we would stay at this hotel again. If you are concerned about transportation to and from LAX, I would highly recommend Zippy Shuttle (www.zippyshuttle.net). The service was fantastic, prompt and Ken (owner) is just a super human being.

“Had everything we needed, highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013 via mobile

I can't recommend this hotel enough. Coming from a clean freak, the rooms were spotless. The beds were some of the most comfiest I've ever slept in. A 10 minute walk to Disneyland, and you walk past many eateries on the way. Great value for money. Handy convenience store downstairs that stock everything you'd need, and a great laundry in the basement. Would not hesitate staying again, will be our first choice when we come again.
