Accommodations Review: |
BIG & SPACIOUS. We had the wing by the freeway and it
seemed like a new wing. Although it overlooked the pool and
was close to the freeway, with the doors closed and A/C on, it
was quiet. There was a coffeemaker and refrigerator in the
room too. This came in very handy for leftovers and chilling
drinks. We had 10 people in the room (friends) who visited at
one point and it didn't seem cramped even with the luggage on
the floor. This place it bigger than most hotels at comparable
prices. Washer and dryer on each floor which made it easy to
pack less and just wash & dry at midpoint to wear our
clothes again. Parking may have been a problem. After checking
in, park your car by the entrance doors of the wing your room
is in, unload, then zip your car into a stall. Most times
there were lots of parking, but late nights, the parking gets
tighter and the walk may be further away. They have the space
to really make an efficient parking lot but they just use the perimeter. You really can't beat the value of what you are
getting vs. what you are paying. |

Cocos on premises. Friend who tried it said it was good.
They wouldn't let us use the microwave oven to heat up
leftovers. Lots of restaurants along the way. |

Pool Description/Comments: |
2 pools. One large, one medium size but water seemed
heated. |
Other Comments: |
Seven minute walk to the entrance of Disneyland. Viewed
other hotels in the area and for the price, nothing was more
spacious. Easy access to freeways, Easy to find. Would return
again. Everyone we recommended this place to enjoyed their
stay. |
