8.6/10 Excellent! (1,416 reviews)
Small place so fairly quiet minus the street noise. Its not fancy but we just needed a place to sleep and shower. Beds were the right bit of soft/hard and pillows were comfortable. Not a lot of water pressure but warm water. The place was clean but again not high end furnishings or new- definitely signs of wear. I cant say it was any different than the place we would’ve stayed for twice as much $

MY wife and I stayed here for the second time. Amazing hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are extremely clean and well maintained. Cleaning staff have great attention to detail. Great location, close proximity to Disneyland and restaurants. Shower not working on arrival, fixed same day we reported to staff. Only thing my wife and I were not overly happy with was the bar/room service menu. Not many options and prices are decently high for what you get. On top of resort fees the prices seem to be a bit too much. Will stay here again!
