Great place to stay.

The staff were amazing. We coordinated adjoining rooms before arrival and everything went smoothly at check-in. We arrived early and they graciously stowed our luggage in a secure space. We used a grocery delivery service multiple times and they facilitated the deliveries until we made it to the lobby. The grounds were tidy and flowers were blooming. Our room was spacious and clean. The hotel is within walking distance to the Disney parks and several dining establishments. We saw a lizard on the grounds which was exciting as we don’t have lizards where we’re from.They only minor con was that our sliding door didn’t seal completely, and that allowed the noise from the groundskeepers blowers in the morning to penetrate the room.

This is our current favorite hotel for Disneyland visits. Easy to walk to the parks, lots of places to eat nearby. Rooms are clean and in good repair. We love bldg 3-6, they are usually less expensive. Staff is great, always helpful. The little convenience store has a variety of snacks, toiletries, gifts, over the counter meds and a few breakfast items. Good family hotel for Disney visits. Parking is extra, a little steep, but par for the area, $25 or $30.

Absolutly a great hotel from start to finish. Fun for all ages. The water playground was beyond great! Our room faced the freeway but you cannot hear the freeway AT ALL, super nice! Parking spots are tiny but plenty of parking so not a big deal. 10/10 recommend and will only use this hotel for our next Disney adventures.
