I had stayed here before the major Downtown Disney construction and didn't know if it would still be as convenient. Many reviews made the rooms sound old and shabby. It's true the rooms are older, and some of the fixtures reflect that. However, the rooms are spacious, and our adjoining rooms each had a small sofa, chair and desk, and two very comfortable beds. Everything was very clean, with cute character wallpaper and bedspreads. The Dreams Tower was a great location.

The pros: two days of early entry (worth the extra money alone!), use of the "secret" DCA entrance, close to the monorail station (good for afternoons only--long waits at opening and closing), and general Disney magic--Goofy was on site to help at check in!

The cons: expensive on site restaurants, longer walk to main gates, and no perks such as complimentary breakfast. To save money and receive free breakfast, I'd stay at the Best Western Park Place Inn, which is actually a slightly closer walk to Disneyland. But the DL Hotel was a fun splurge.

I hade my first time ever with my 87 yr old mom who never went out of the country .They treated her normal and to them normal is above standered..........way above.The rooms were as great as the view(witch is awesome).
Mum had a blast and the kids did too.Great for the familys everywhere!
Best Hotel Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hotel lobby was kept very nice. The pool was clean, but always ran out of places for people to sit. The rooms were quite old and in need of updating. There were worms coming out of the wall and into the bathtub while I was bathing. Complained quietly to the service desk and they offered us another room, but it would not be ready until late in the afternoon. We had to pack up all our belongings and they kept them in storage, wasted a day of our time, without an offer of compensation to our children. Not impressed! Staff were not overly friendly. I expected more from this hotel and was quite disappointed. Definitely not worth the money!

We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for two nights. The only problem that we encountered was, upon entering the room, it wasn't clean. I called housekeeping, and while we went to dinner it was taken care of. The room and the property were well maintained. The outside of the building looks old fashioned, but I felt that was part of its charm. The kids enjoyed the pool, and we all enjoyed the easy access to Downtown Disney and the Parks. I would stay there again!
