"Book this place cause it’s really close to Disneyland! Overall, hotel was very nice and family friendly. The only downside was when we would call for room service no one would answer. And that was multiple times. Also the room was overall tidy until I saw someone press-on nails on our bathroom floor,which makes me think they don’t fully clean their rooms."

I hope they plan a refresh of the property sooner rather than later. Lighter room colors, no carpet, more outlets for chargers. However, I will continue to stay there due to the location, cleanliness, breakfast, and friendly staff."
