“Great family place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

Was so happy with the pool area! My daughter is 2 and absolutely loved the toddler area and warm water! The staff was so friendly and professional. We would definitely return. The only only only feature we were not happy with was the fact that the bathroom door was a slider that was locked in the open position. This makes privacy hard and if someone smells it up, the whole room is affected unfortunately.

“Perfect for families and kids”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

This hotel is a perfect place and environment for families and kids. It is across the road from Disneyland and Adventure land which makes it a perfect accommodation option.

Close by are a couple of good eateries and the Hotel has a store where you can purchase snacks to heat in your room microwave and that will help the budget in check.

The staff are very accommodating, I arrived early and there was no problem ensuring I could get into a room.

The facilities are child proof for safety and you can view the Disneyland fireworks from the spa.

Room Tip: I found the room facing the pools in the second building quieter than those facing the road.

4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

Good location and great service. The rooms facing Disneyland park are more expensive but not as well kept (old and worn) as the other rooms.

“Nice spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

This is perfect for a short walk to Disneyland. it isn't the closest hotel to stay at, but nice big rooms, close restaurant, and clean rooms. Would definitely stay again. The waterpark isn't ideal for kids over 6 or 7 years old I don't think, but the pool is nice.

Don't hesitate to stay......I don't know why this place would ever get bad reviews.

can't wait to get back to Disneyland!!!

Room Tip: We were right by the garden pool on the bottom floor and I recommend it. :)
