“Excellent location, great deal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

We booked in September for a stay in early December and got a good rate for our family of 4. In addition to that, the email confirming our reservation contained an online coupon for National Car Rental, which allowed us to save 30% off our car rental. Not a bad deal at all!
As many have said before, the hotel's proximity to Disney is excellent. As can be seen from my attached photo, the Tower of Terror in Disney's California Adventure was so close to our room. If you can't bear the 10-15 minute walk, ART bus no.2 stops directly in front of the hotel to send or pick you up form Disney for USD3 one way or USD5 for a day pass.
Breakfast is pretty basic and even if you don't eat meat, other options are enough to keep you full. Note that the staff strictly enforce the 10.00 am deadline as they have to get the dining room ready for the Indian buffet lunch, which commences at 11.00. As for that restaurant, we had dinner there one night and found the food to be quite good with generous portions.
Service was good, although there was no bellhop to assist us with our bags. Overall, I found the ladies of the day shift to be friendlier than the guys who manned the night shift, although both were shifts were efficient. Housekeeping was excellent, greeting us warmly every morning to attending to all our requests. On the way to the airport on check-out day, they even called the cab to alert us about certain items we had left behind (we had actually discarded them).
During our stay, the cable TV was upgraded to Full HD which added a plethora of entertainment options on the tube.
The hotel is also convenient for driving, as it is located just off the I-5 freeway and has ample free parking. We were able to secure a courtyard parking spot every day, and there are many more lots available in the basement.
There is a guest coin-op laundry room which we pretty much had to ourselves during our stay.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone planning a family trip to the greater LA area.

Room Tip: Hotel has elevators so any floor is OK.

“Excellent Disneyland base.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

Stayed here with the wife and two kids. Room was average sized but did the job of accommodating us comfortably. The wall to the adjoining room was not as thick as I would of liked. I could here the neighbors very clearly but admittedly they were a loud bunch clearly obsessed with some kind of sport on the tv.
The hotel is almost on the corner of the street that Disneyland is on. In the morning following breakfast its an easy 10 -15 min walk to the gates. The walk back doesn't feel nearly as quick when you've spend the whole day walking around the Disney parks. Art bus number 2 can drop you off in a jiffy.
Breakfast downstairs in the on site Indian Restaurant was basic. Scrambled eggs were dry and bacon was always greasy and overcooked. Pancakes were okay. Nothing outstanding here and if you overstay past the 10 am cut off the staff just change the tv in the room to the Indian channel. That seemed to clear the room pretty quick. Nevertheless Peter is always on hand to see if everything is ok and it usually is not far off.
Parking down in the basement or courtyard is free.

“nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

We stayed at the Ramada Plaza this past weekend on our visit to Disneyland. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very helpful providing great phone directions to their hotel when our gps froze stranding us in the middle of a not so nice area of LA, and provided printed directions to area attractions after arrival. The manager greeted you personally making sure all your needs were met and was available during breakfast for any further help. Loved the full breakfast buffett in the morning and being a 10 minute walk to Disneyland was a definite plus. There is also a $5 a day shuttle that stops right in front of the hotel.
The service, free parking, and helpfulness of the staff and manager made it a very enjoyable stay!

“Location.. Location.. Location!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

Last August my family and I spent 12 nights in this hotel. We chose this hotel due to the proximity to Disney and we weren't wrong. When we first arrived, the check in process was really fast which was nice after a 16 hour flight. Staff was friendly and welcoming, whenever we needed anything during our stay they were more than happy to help. Also, in the reception area there was a stand with magazines and coupons which was handy whenever we needed suggestions. The first room we got was nice and had a pool view but during our first night we noticed that there was a voice coming from the AC and we complained the next day. The staff moved us to a bigger room with the Disney View which was even nicer. The Breakfast was okay, we ate the first 2 days and got bored, there isn't any variety & all the food was heavily fried but we can't really complain since it was free.

There were a couple of things that I didn't like though, on our first day we asked the House Keeper for more hangers because we were 4 adults sharing a room, so she came into the room, opened the closet -which I found a bit offensive- & told us that we have enough! However when we told her we still need more hangers she gave us more. We also kept having problems with our magnetic keys & we needed the repair guy to come over every time we needed to go into the room which was bit frustrating. I received a lot of Amazon packages & each time I had to go to ask for them and whether they arrived or not, they didn't send them to our room.

If you want a hotel that is close to Disney, this hotel has an amazing location. It's a 10 minutes’ walk to Disney, there are several restaurants opened right next to the hotel, high end ones & fast food ones. There is a 7/11 Supermarket right at the corner so whatever you need is around you which was very convenient. Also having a Parking Lot in the Hotel was really nice & saved us the hassle.

Room Tip: Rooms on the 4th floor are generally quieter, if you'd like to see the Disney fireworks ask for...

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Spent 2 mights here and chose based on location. Was a 10 - 15 minute walk to Disney gates so very convenient, rooms were good size and comfortable bed though our bathroom was a little tired, small crack in sink but not a big issues. safe underground car park with plenty of space to park and staff were all pleasant. Had a laundry which proved useful, hadnt banked on weather being so good!

Only negative was didnt think much of the breakfast or the staff that ran that side of the business. Ran out of fruit, cutlery etc and wasn't overly busy at the time.

Plenty of other places to eat though and overall a nice hotel if looking for somewhere to stay near to Disney
