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."
