Perfect for family of 5, bunks and pull out bed. Great pool for young kids. Microwave and fridge handy. Laundry facilities easy to use and great to have access to. Easy walk with little ones to entry to Disneyland. Staff at reception were always obliging and helpful. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Rooms were clean and amenities were good. Rooms were small however so don’t expect much room once inside. Water park is great for kids. No kettle in the room and we weren’t allowed to get hot water off them for health and safety reasons so had to hire a kettle off them, which seems ludicrous. The guy at the desk always seemed condescending when we spoke to him- after we asked a lot moving to room to see fireworks he told us that the fireworks wouldn’t be on that week in Disneyland.....and they were on- every night.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help us continue to improve. We are so disappointed to hear the experience you had with one or our Front Desk Agents. That service you received unacceptable. We will share your comments with our team to ensure a similar experience is never repeated. We are glad that you like our waterpark and clean room. We really hope you give us another try and allow us the opportunity to better serve you and your family in the future.
