This Hotel Is Nice Clean Easy On The Front Desk They Were Very Very Nice. One thing I didn't like about this hotel was, That . They have a 3 hour policy to be inside the pool or on the water park. So if you okay with being Kick out off the pool, water park they have for kids its would be perfect. Not for me i got this Hotel for my kids to be in the pool and water park but the 3 Hour police they have for the whole day is just not for Me. Other then that it was a good hotel.life Guard are not so friendly either..Me Not stay here again. We stay here for 3 Day. Only only can be the the pool for 3 Hours. Not Cool..

I liked how close (5min) walk to Disney and my kids loved the water park and beds were comfy. Parking wasn’t bad but you do have to pay. Even though they told me there was no deposit, when I got there it was a very small deposit ($20). Evelyn was so nice and we were able to check in an hour early which was nice! Our hotel was in building 3 and it looked old. Carpet was dirty. Our bathroom looked old and had a weird smell. Dresser was dirty. Hotel needs an upgrade.

Our say was fun, we enjoyed the kids water park, it just needs more umbrellas for shade. The pool was relaxing, plenty of lounge chairs in the sun and shade. The on site store was convenient for snacks and personal care items. Our room was clean, we had an issure turning on the room a/c but they sent someone up and it was just unplugged, we just opened the balcony for air, no biggie. Will definitely be back.

It was the perfect distance from Disneyland. The kids loved the pool. I do think there was too much chlorine in it because my eyes always started to sting when I went swimming. The staff at the front desk were always friendly and helpful.

Great stay, 2 negatives
Had 2 connecting rooms. Hotel was very accommodating. This was a return trip. Ants!!! Our car was invaded by ants! I had read in a review that it had happened to someone else there and didn’t think much of it. Well are car got hit hard. The whole ride home ants everywhere! Or bags the food we brought home, you name it. 2nd negative. Having a life guard staring at you the whole time in the pool made it for an uncomfortable time at pool. My daughter who was 17 was so uncomfortable being stared at that she left and didn’t return the rest of our stay. I know they have him there to monitor for mostly people who are not staying there. But there has to be a better way. At times he was rude. And the lifeguards at the water park could have been nicer. So that was a take away. But the rooms and staff at front desk were great. Lifeguards could use some work. Only reason I would not come back. So see in the winter!
