The room was very clean and updated, the staff was friendly and very accommodating - they put our two rooms together and our room came equipped with an infant crib. The splash park was perfect for our toddlers during breaks from Disneyland. The store was open and fully stocked with anything we could need! We will definitely be staying here again for future Disneyland trips!

The rooms were very clean and the staff was very nice. The property as a whole is very well maintained. Just be aware that if you stay on the second floor in their older buildings, there are no curtains on the arched ceiling windows so you won’t be able to sleep in if that’s what you’re looking for. It worked out well for us because we are early risers anyways.
