*read this reveiw if you want some information on this hotel*
My Family stayed here July 2008 for 5 days.(we have 3 kids ages 1,4,10, there were 3 adults, so 6 of us total) We got a room with a queen bed, a bunk bed and a crib. Check in is at 3:00 We arrived early at 2:00 and the room was ready so they let us in our room.
about 20 minutes later, the front desk called our room to make sure we had everything we needed.
The room was clean and cozy. The kids loved the huge bunk beds. The crib was set up next to our bed. There was a mini fridge and microwave. The fridge worked fine keeping the food cold, but the very small freezer did not work to freeze any of our water/soda bottles. Our room was first floor, next to the gift shop.The hotel is the closest to disneyland. You walk to the end of the parking lot and cross the street into disneyland. The longest walk is the disney walkway to the ticket booth. It took about 4-5 minutes to walk up to the entrance beacuse it is long.
The free continental breakfast was a great plus ! (the breakfast is seved upstairs on the second floor all the way at the end, above gift shop area toward the front ) We only ate 2-3 times because we slept in the other days, Breakfast was over at like 9:30, I think it stared around 7:30 am. They served bannanas, oranges, apples, coffee, oj, apple juice, crossoints, waffles, and they had 2 or 3 cereal selections. I remember one being fruit loops. They have milk and syrup, also toast. There is a toaster and micowave to use. They might have had more food but we always got there right before it was over. But it saved us alot of money on breakfast in the morning. We also grabbed an extra couple pieces of fruit to carry to Disneyland.
If you buy an apple or orange there they charge about $2.00 for one piece. (disneyland allows you to bring your own food/drink in.) We brought lots of sodas, waters, crackers, candy, fruit etc. I also carried in my own iced coffee from Mcdonalds and they did not say anything about it. We filled up two backpacks with food/drink to carry. This saved us alot of money.We found a drug store and bought a bunch of the same Fanta orange sodas they sell at disneyland, we stocked up for alot less.
the hotels has a binder with different menus from local delivery places if you want food delivered to your room.
The pool at this hotel closes at 10:00 pm, so we only used it once, But you dont need to bring your own towel, they supply towels in the pool area for you. This was a nice touch.
If you want to buy any disney sunglassed or disney pens , visit the gift shop at the hotel, the pens were like 2.00 compared to $5.00 for one at disneyland. We lost our first autograph pen and had to shell out another $5.00 at disney so we could get an autograph. Also plain colored sunglasses were all about 5.00 a pair the gift shop. they had disney cups ,and lots of other stuff.
The check in lobby was remodled and very clean. They have a late night Cold stone creamery (ice cream store) right in front, this is brand new May 2008. The hotel is right next to a 24 hour Ihop, or a hotel away from 24 hour Dennys. Right next to ihop is another restaruant called Captain Kidds. they have a reg. menu or buffet,the buffet is small though, we did not care for the food so much ourselves but there were alot of people there .We spent about the same as we did in the park with the tip. everytime we left the park to eat, so you may want to eat inside the park unless you go to mcdonalds down the street from the hotel, it is a little walk there. It cost about $50.00 each meal for 5 people eating, no matter where we ate. (we never got a meal for my 1 year old, he ate some of ours, My 4 year old does not each much either so we could have saved an extra $8.00 at least splitting a meal ) but a family of 5 will run at least $40-$50 per meal .
This hotel is a much closer Walk than the on property hotel to actual disneyland park.. It is super close and in a great location. I am going again in December and will be staying here again. I had no complaints with this hotel at all. I would recommed if you want a reasonable hotel with free breakfast and clean rooms. That worked for us since we only used the hotel for sleeping, other than that we were never there.

Guest name: samkaysmom, Kaneohe, HI
We (2 adults, 2 children) stayed for 5 nights and the best thing about the hotel was the location...check in was ok (tried to check in early but the room was not ready, although we were allowed to park, then go get lunch/shop until the room was ready). Front desk said they would call when the room was ready but they never did. The room was clean, but the air conditioner was not quite strong enough (we were there during a heatwave). The refrig/microwave in the room were a great convenience. During the heat of the day we walked back to the room from disney (about a 6 min walk) and had lunch and cooled off. Used the laundry room. Everything worked fine. Breakfast was ok. We paid $120/night. Normally, we go through Priceline and get a way better rate, but cannot get such a great location, so it was worth paying the price.

Our room was nice when we arrived. We didn't thoroughly check it out until we were in for the night. When I pulled the sheets back on our bed, the mattress was soaked, it had soaked through the mattress pad and sheets.
Instead of offering to immediately move us to a new room, the maintenance man came and flipped the mattress over, and re-made the bed! My husband demanded they move us to a new room. They did, but it was a smaller room, and not entirely clean, itself. The next day they upgraded us to a suite and credited our room rate, but it still made for a less than pleasant experience.

In general I quite like the place.

would recommend to families with small children and those would would like to make multiple to and fro trips
Would even recommend the place to grandparents as well.
Good variety of breakfast
Quite a good size of 2 Q room..rollaway reasonable priced at US$10/nite
prompt service by maintainance guys
Cons
need a little improvement fr reception - long Queue as there is only 1 receptionist at work.
Other hotels are nearby too..I would go back if the price is a little lower :-)..
Overall I've a enjoyable holiday
