“Nice enough, but not the breakfast you expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We booked this hotel as a launching pad for Disneyland. It worked really well for us for this purpose.

Pros:
It is about as close as you can get to the main entrance for Disneyland and California Adventure.
The staff was prompt, friendly, and helpful.
They have a room where they will store your luggage for a few hours before or after check in/out.
The rooms were comfortable and had a mini-fridge and microwave.
The pool looked nice, although we didn't use it as we spent all our time in Disneyland
There is a convenience store that sells water, snacks and trinkets more affordable than inside the park.
There are a few restaurants within easy walking distance.

Cons:
My only mark down really was the "continental breakfast".
In my opinion it was somewhat misleading. The free beverage options included orange juice, raspberry lemonade, coffee and hot chocolate. There were also whole red delicious apples, donuts and croissants. However, if you don't want to hype your kids up on a breakfast of sugary pastries or have them settle for an apple, you're gonna have to pay. Cereal and milk must be purchased. I believe they were $1.50 each. I overheard one unhappy mother complaining to the woman working the breakfast counter, and I am sure this is a complaint they hear every day.

Room Tip: The building motel style with front doors of the 1st floor opening to the parking lot. If you don...

“You get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Just stayed in room 135. Hotel is super close to park gates, we really appreciated the short walk, however the room was just okay. The bathroom had no tub, black mold in the tile grout, and no place to put soap, etc. in the shower. Really, it needs renovation. The free breakfast was only okay: donuts, pastries, and horrible coffee. They charged for milk, cereal, and bagels. Pool was fine - the kids loved it. Don't know if I'd stay again.

“Great way to start & finish your disneyland day!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

We stayed just for 1 night in order to start a disneyland day early in the morning!
the pool was heated and equipped with clean towels!
The Jacuzzi was clean too and nice to have that after a long day!
The parking in the hotel isn't free of charge for the guests but it has some advantage.
If u plan to park at the disneyland parking it will cost u more money and then u'll need to take a shuttle to the entrance which is right across the hotel.
Therefore, either way u need to pay for a parking spot so it's better to in the hotel and have your car right next to your room.
The room itself was clean + good AC and great shower facilities

Room Tip: It was nice to get a room on the first floor to have fast access to the swimming pool in the middle!

“Basic but Clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

Pool was warm, mini market sold plenty of refreshments and Disney was super close. Perfect for our quick family mini vacation to Disney. The breakfast was the only complaint...very limited and the apples were always brown inside although appeared very fresh from the outside.

“Friend said ignore bad reviews so I tried”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012 via mobile

Had handicap room, if I had a wheelchair it would of got stuck. They shouldn't offer free breakfast when they charge for majority items they have, try it you'll see. Internet charge. My bill charged to my credit card is about $40 more than next door. (Free breakfast, Internet, same size beds in room and larger room that is not handicap accessible.) Kids had fun reading the emergency evacuation notice - stating do not use elevator in emergency. We are on the ground floor. What if we want a better view? Might stay here again only if nothing else was available. Cost 1 star. Room size for being a handicap room 1 star. Breakfast 1 star. Internet 1 star. Closeness to parks 5 stars. Staff friendliness 5 stars. Overall 1 star. It doesn't matter how friendly or how close something is (in my opinion) I don't expect half a breakfast paid Internet and half a room for more. The only problem I have with this review is if they change anything for the better or worse I won't be able to update my comment...but then again they had their chance when I stayed there the first and only time for a better review, just saying.
