We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel starting on May 22, 2008. We were taking our kids to Disneyland and decided to stay here. I paid around $125 per night for a two queen bed room. Unlike many other hotels near Disneyland, this hotel has access to the rooms from the inside.
We were at the hotel at 12:00 PM while the check-in time was 3:00 PM. But the lady at the check-in did let us check-in right away. She wasn't too friendly though and I had requested for a room with a view but she was too busy issuing a room to me that she didn't care to provide me wth any choices. But we did get a room on the second floor with a view of the pool area.
The room was the most spacious double room that I've ever stayed in. The furniture looked a little dated but nothing too bad. The bathroom did show signs of aging though. The shower was actually out of the wall and the shower head did not move in any other direction. The windows and walls are not very sound proof. There were loud kids at the pool till around 11:30 PM which kept me awake even with all the windows shut tight. And early next morning, we got up early to head to Disneyland, my kids created enough commotion to invoke a noise complaint. The lady at the door politely told us to keep it quiet and we did as much as we could. But sound proofing is definitely lacking here. Don't forget to try the in-room coffee that is provided. It tasted very good.
The lobby area has three big and colorful salt water aquariums. Every time we entered the lobby area, both my 5 year old and my 2 year old ran to these aquariums since they had clown-fish(Nemo) swimming in them. There are multiple waiting areas and a cafeteria place. Overall, the lobby area looked very inviting and friendly. Additionally, there is also a games room where you can indulge in a game of pool and play some of the video games.
Once thing that we found out on the very last day was that there was a gift shop/cafe right next to the games room. The cafeteria served various cold sandwiches, donuts, mufins, cookies and sold candy and other such stuff. Since the price did not include breakfast buffet and the buffet in the local restaurant was way too expensive, we kept going out to Denny's and IHOP to have breakfast. If we had known of the cafe, we would have just picked up some donuts and coffee and saved on time and money.
There is also a beautiful garden area right in the middle of this hotel with a small pond (yes, with fish swimming in it).
The hotel has free shuttle services going to and coming back from Disneyland. And we never had to wait for more than 5 to 10 minutes for the shuttle to arrive.
Overall, this is a fairly decent hotel to stay it. Since we have kids, having breakfast included in the fee would have been perfect. But I guess you can't have everything. Next time, I will try staying at a hotel inside the Disneyland park since we were too tired after coming back from the day trip that we could not go back for the fireworks and the laser shows which happen during the night there. But if you wanted to, you could always watch the fireworks from the front parking lot of the hotel itself.
I would definitely stay in this hotel if needed and would definitely recommend it to anyone without any hesitation.
