9/10 Wonderful! (1,062 reviews)
The hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable regarding the area. Dominic was helpful whenever I needed anything. The property is clean and the pool/jacuzzi well maintained. There were many parking places close to our room. It's about a 15 minute walk to Disneyland, not the 8 minutes advertised. Still close enough to walk back to room for a break during the day. Microwave and small refrigerator in room that was nice. The beds were clean and comfortable and there were many towels for our use. My only complaint is that the carpets seemed to be in need of being steam cleaned. They left our feet black on the soles or our socks black when we were walking throughout the room. Between the beds seemed a little sticky. We would probably stay here again, but use house shoes or flips to walk while in the room.
