Fantastic staff, location was 8 minute walk from Disneyland's front gate, and two nice pool variations, water park with hot tub, warm wading pool, and larger swimming pool, for that relaxing day in between park adventures or to soothe your sore muscles after a long day. Multiple food options in between. The grounds allow for a nice evening stroll, with fountains to sit around, a resident bunny, etc. Balcony access in our room was really cool for the kids, access door hidden inside the closet. We would definitely stay here again! 👍👍👍👍👍

We had an issue arise during our stay, and without going into detail, the hotel staff was INCREDIBLY quick to find resolution. The evening manager notified the morning staff and They were kind enough to comp us fairly and accordingly without us having to pry it out of them. In my opinion the above is what matters most. Problems occur, and can be beyond the control of the individual behind the desk, but they were willing to find and offer a fair compromise. I appreciate that. Rooms seemed a little older and cheaper feeling but the price reflected accordingly. Otherwise it was clean and well kept. It was a good distance from the park too.

In the lobby everything smelled good, as soon as you entered the building all the hallways smelled bad, the room was worse, a dirty smell, I don't know if the smell was from the carpet or the mattresses, the bathroom towels almost all had hair and in the room where the ice machine is, they had garbage bags. I do not recommend it and I will never return.
