8/10 Good
"Room was clean and spacious. We were out of a few items upon check in but the front desk and housekeeping staff helped us. Breakfast was great and Mario was awesome! He went around and talked to the guests and made sure we were okay or asked if we needed anything, loved that personal touch! I wish breakfast was served earlier on the weekends since we had to rush to get to the parks, but other than that it was fine. Good selection of food and multiple waffle machines were a plus. The walk to Disneyland was not too bad, it’s a few blocks but the blocks are long so keep that in mind. Took us about 15 mins. We got lucky and our room had views of the fireworks. Parking could be better since there’s not enough to park right next to your room but not a deal-breaker. Overall, enjoyed our stay — it was budget-friendly and great for families!"

"Front desk is great, shuttle driver was excellent helping with the luggages and information, however the cafe closed way early than advertised 2pm even though I beg for a cup of coffee around 11:45am, they said a staff didn’t show up so they have to close, disappointed with that! But everything else was great!"
