From check in to check out our experience was amazing. Close to the park. Close to I-5 and the water park was perfect for the littles. Allie at the front desk was so helpful and our cleaning staff were all so amazing. This is the perfect place for families.

Our family of five stayed three nights for a Disneyland trip. The walk to the parks was manageable for our kids (7yrs and younger), and we watched fireworks along the walk at night, and had a great view from our room. Our kids loved the waterpark and bunkbeds. Parking was a little difficult to find the entrances when coming in, but the price was fair ($25 per night). We would definitely stay here again.

Upon entering the room, it was visually very clean. We did noticed a welcome note to a previous occupant/visitor, which made us think the room wasn't cleaned well. We also noticed the phone had hardened food on it. The beds, bathroom, and dining space was nicely cleaned. *we checked after seeing the old welcome note and telephone* The waterpark was definitely a bonus/hit for us. Overall, the stay was quiet and went well.
