We are SoCal passholders with 3 young kids who decided to stay one night to celebrate our 6 year old daughter's birthday at Disneyland. The hotel was just what we needed. We booked with HoJo using the 20% discount they extend to Disneyland passholders. The check-in was quick and easy; they even let us check-in early! We had a 2... More

We stayed for 5 nights on our first visit to Disneyland and can't consider of staying anywhere else in future. The service, pool, Mimi's cafe across the road and very convenient laundry room are just what you need for a family accommodation. The room is spacious and the staff are very helpful. More

I can't say enough about this place. It was fabulous. Check in and out was easy, the rooms were clean. It is only about a 10 minute walk to the gates of Disneyland. The 2 pools were great and we visited both almost every day of our stay. The Castaway water park was so much fun for the kids and... More

I've stayed at about every Disneyland area hotel, and I simply won't stay anywhere other than here anymore. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Everything looks amazing, the pool areas are better than the overcrowded Disneyland hotels, rooms are large and super quiet. The Annual Passholder rates are a wonderful bonus to staying here, and I look forward to many... More

Just stayed here from 5/16 to 5/18. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and quiet. Only complaint would be the towels. Pool area is fabulous for young kids...we have 2 and 3 year old boys. Walk to Disney is easy and quick. I gave 5 stars...I know it's not a five star hotel, but it fills... More

Great location... 5 minute walk to disneyland. Very clean, beaut gardens, and very comfy beds. My only complaint is there is no jug to boil water, but is available from reception. There is however, a microwave and coffee filter system. I would avoid the rooms near he freeway as they seemed noisy, but like most hotels here, freeways are all... More

This was our 5th visit and with grandchildren each time. The location is excellent with easy walking to both Disney parks. We had a room with 2 queen beds which was adequate. The rooms are a little bit tired but very good value for money. Coffee maker is provided but I didn't like paper cups provided although I understand the... More

We choose this hotel at our last stay at Disneyland due to it being within walking distance and the discount we received using our entertainment card. First off, I would say the water park in the picture is a bit deceiving. It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be but the kids still had a lot of... More

So many people told us to stay at this hotel when we visited Disney. We were very happy with everything. The hotel is a 5 to 7 minute walk to the front gate of Disney. The staff were friendly and overall the hotel was fine. The pools are great and the kids loved the pirate ship water play pool area.... More

We had a really nice experience in this hotel. I knew beforehand that it's a 3-star hotel, so I knew what to expect. First, I booked the Kids Suite months in advance even though it was low season, and thank goodness I did it! I booked it with the Ent Card so it saved me a couple of hundred dollars... More
