Perfect for family of 5, bunks and pull out bed. Great pool for young kids. Microwave and fridge handy. Laundry facilities easy to use and great to have access to. Easy walk with little ones to entry to Disneyland. Staff at reception were always obliging and helpful. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Rooms were clean and amenities were good. Rooms were small however so don’t expect much room once inside. Water park is great for kids. No kettle in the room and we weren’t allowed to get hot water off them for health and safety reasons so had to hire a kettle off them, which seems ludicrous. The guy at the desk always seemed condescending when we spoke to him- after we asked a lot moving to room to see fireworks he told us that the fireworks wouldn’t be on that week in Disneyland.....and they were on- every night.

We will share your comments with our team to ensure a similar experience is never repeated. We are glad that you like our waterpark and clean room.

It was an average experience overall. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Good size swimming pool and good water park for younger children. No lifts to our floor made access hard with our baggage. Our room was very old though clean. Needs refurbishment and modernisation.

It seems to be a family friendly hotel within good walking distance of Disneyland. Unfortunately they do not have a mini bar or fridge in the room nor cater for the beer/wine sold in the so called souvenir shop. No glasses provided to use for a late night drink in the room, only paper cups. Certainly not catering for all visitors. At least the souvenir shop could provide a plastic beaker.

This hotel is very convenient but old and musty - its like they cleaned the carpets but they smell like they took too long to dry. I was disappointed in the price I paid for the quality of the room. Its like I was still in the 1970s no attempt to modernise the rooms was made. There was no question that the size of the room was the biggest I have encountered with all the hotels we stayed around America - I struggled with the pungent smell of our room. The hotel staff were very nice but when I mentioned the bad smell it was brushed of as the hotel is old!
