There was good and also not-so-good. Overall we had a pretty decent stay but here is a summary of our experience. I've also included some helpful tips in my review.

The good...
The hotel staff was very pleasant and responsive. The front desk suggested rooms that were the quietest for our stay (although no room was really quiet given the location). When we needed more towels, they brought them to our room immediately. The lobby and restaurant make a very nice first impression. It was very modern and appealing. The pool area is very unlike the typical, boring hotel pool. It had a nice resort like feel - freeform shape, nice sturdy wicker chairs and loungers, attractice landscape, and nice pool-side bar.
TIP #1: Take a break from Disneyland and head back to the pool area between 4 and 7 PM for their happy hour priced cocktails and bar menu. You can get pizza, chicken nachos, burgers, calamari, and more for half price!

Tip #2: We were very impressed with the view of the fireworks from the pool area. That was awesome!!! So get there a little early (check Disney's website for fireworks schedule) so you have a nice seat or just jump in the pool.

Now the not-so-good...
I didn't realize when we booked this hotel that the rooms were more like MOTEL rooms. All have outdoor entrances and are pretty small (like a Super 8, Days Inn, etc.). The hotel pictures lead you to believe something very different about your accomodations so this was disappointing (I guess you get what you pay for!). This wasn't a deal-breaker but a bit of a surprise. Also, please note the hotel charges $10 a day for parking!!! We think this is ridiculous. Housekeeping did a good job of tidying up each day but I wouldn't say the rooms are kept terribly "clean". We looked under the slip-free mat in the shower and it looked like it has never been removed to clean the tub (mildew galore!!). While the pool area was a lot of fun, we were surprised that they had a problem with pool tiles falling off. A couple times I noticed people leaving them on the concrete which is kind of gross. Obviously the hotel has some maintenance to do.

TIP #3: If you need lots of QUIET to sleep, make sure your air conditioning is running non-stop (does a good job at drowning out the noise). Otherwise, you will hear LOUD freeway traffic if your room is on the city-view side. We were told this was a quieter side of the hotel then the pool-side so can't imagine how loud that side is!

Overall we had a good vacation. Tip #4: The walk to Disneyland is about 15 minutes from the hotel. You can choose to pay $3 a day for the shuttle, but we noticed it takes a VERY long time for it to return back to Disney to pick up. If you need to leave at a specific time, I wouldn't bother. The walk is a little tiring after a long day at the park but is much faster overall because the shuttle stops at other hotels before taking you back to Hotel Menage.
