This hotel is perfect for families heading to Disneyland, with a super quick 8-minute walk to the parks and impressive amenities for kids. The newly renovated rooms are clean and spacious, but some areas could use better maintenance. While the waterpark is a major hit, the dining options are conveniently located nearby, making it an overall great value for families.

We had a great stay at this hotel, just a short walk to Disneyland, which was super convenient for our family. The room was spacious and clean, with enough amenities to make our stay comfortable. However, the Wi-Fi connection was disappointing, and we faced some noise issues from upstairs neighbors. Overall, we would definitely consider staying here again for the location and family-friendly environment.

Rooms

Our room was clean and spacious, perfect for our family. It also had a balcony which was nice for relaxing. However, being right above the pool meant we could hear music until late at night, so keep that in mind if you have small kids.

The hotel had a nice pool area, although it's more of a splash pool than a full-featured one. It was decent for kids but might not be ideal if you're looking for a bigger pool experience.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! It's super close to Disneyland, making trips to the park easy and convenient. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for my family of five, but the traffic noise from the freeway was noticeable. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, which made my experience even better. However, the dining options nearby could be improved, as there were only a few choices for breakfast.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms were spotless and spacious, which worked well for my family of five. However, the lack of curtains on the high windows let in too much natural light early in the morning, making it tough for the kids to nap or sleep in. Also, the traffic noise was a bit disruptive, almost like sleeping by the freeway.

The staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay pleasant. Their friendliness truly stood out during our time there.

While there are a few nearby options for breakfast, I would have liked more variety. Just a few local restaurants with limited breakfast offerings.

The facilities were clean, though I wish there was a hot tub by the pool area for added relaxation. Nevertheless, the pool looked inviting.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel! It's just a short walk to Disneyland, and we appreciated the clean and comfortable rooms. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. However, it was a bit disappointing that our room wasn't ready until after 4 PM and didn't look quite as updated as the photos online. Overall, we felt it was a great value for the money considering the location and amenities.
