Grand Legacy At the Park
We spent our time at Disneyland...just across the street. did not use the pool or any other areas other than our room. The beds were comfortable. There was a fair amount of noise from people simply walking past the room. The tub/shower plumbing needs work since the tub drain could not be blocked ...
