"Clean and cozy! The walk to Disneyland is not too bad if you don't mind a 10 to 20 minute stroll. Also very close to the toy story shuttle! Breakfast at the hotel is also pretty good! It is the most affordable place to stay close to Disneyland, and really all I need is a place to sleep, but the pool is a nice touch!"

"The hotel was amazing for its value - About a 12-15 minute walk to Disneyland, which is exactly why my fiancé and I chose it. The staff were incredibly friendly; My fiancé got locked out of the hotel room and they were able to assist quickly and with kindness. This may or may not have been the hotel's fault, but our A/C unit just needed some work. We just so happened to be visiting during a pretty brutal heat wave and our room wasn't always comfortable. However, we feel that the pros outweighed the cons."
