It's close to park, not walking close but definitely Uber worthy...you can walk to mickey and friends parking garage, that is close but also dangerous to walk across to get in....the hotel nice, spacious and clean. Friendly staff...

It wasn’t the cheapest and it wasn’t the most expensive. Obviously an older motel that had a remodel so it looks a bit hip. The only thing I can say is it was satisfactory. The water temp was lukewarm in the shower, the sink didn’t drain well, lots of dust bunnies on the floor and everyday fewer fresh towels left behind by cleaning, BUT, I’m staying there because I can walk to Disney EASILY which is where I spent 14 hours of my day so if the motel wasn’t the best it was fine. If you want something nicer you need to pay the Disney bucks. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again, but also I got what I paid for.

The property is close to Disneyland. About a 15 min. Walk. The beds arw really comfortable, but it is noisy due to how close it is to the freeway and they have no elevator for the second and third floor. Their hot water is not that hot and the plumbing could use an upgrade. Slow drain and not much shower power.

Upon check in we were excited to see the room we had booked as the photos of the property were beautiful! My kids were excited about the bunk beds and the new renovations looked very nice. I then noticed that things were not as clean as they should be. Marks on the light switches and near door knobs. Dirty marks on the bunk bed. What appeared to be a moldy baseboard near the shower. A square sink that does not drain well/appears to be difficult to clean as the corners had a black build up in them. The bunk bed also seemed to not be very sturdy, I noticed that where the mattress slats were screwed into the top bunk there was a bit of a gap and it seemed to be compromised. I did not realize this until the morning we were checking out. The plastic chair at the desk had leftover crumbs and food debris on it. Luckily I had brought my own disinfecting wipes and was able to wipe down our room, but I feel like this should not be necessary when checking into a hotel room. Especially one with such new renovations. Our exterior door also did not latch very well, when we returned to our room after being away for 7 hours my child turned the door knob before we used the key card and the door swung open. The hotel staff was attentive to this and checked on it right away, they were also going to have maintenance look into repairing it after we checked out. I was going to discuss my concerns when checking out but the front desk did not ask how my stay was and I was in a hurry to leave.

We stayed here for one night and were pretty disappointed with the overall experience. The furniture looked very cheap and worn, and the bed was extremely uncomfortable—it creaked loudly and felt like it might break.
The hot water in the shower took a very long time to get warm, which was frustrating after a long day. Additionally, the listing stated the hotel was a 13-minute walk to Disneyland, but in reality it took us closer to 19 minutes, which is a noticeable difference when you’re tired.
Overall, the hotel did not meet our expectations, especially for the price and location.

It was a middle ground stay. What to consider, some reviewed the rooms and said they were dirty, bed bugs, thin walls, and I didn’t find that at all. I found a clean room with a modern design, comfortable bed, and a nice bathroom. Now, the deal was okay, not great. The walk to Disney was 30 minutes, and the hotel doesn’t include breakfast. They also had a $10 a day parking fee which did catch us by surprise. But it is near Disney so nearly everyone charges for parking. This hotel is okay overall, nothing deserving of more than 3 stars.

Room was clean and comfortable. I stayed in room 105, bottom floor, it was one of the newly upgraded rooms. The room was equipped with a mini fridge, coffee maker and cups, two beds, nice size closet, TV, and small microwave. The room is close to Disney employees entrance but we weren’t allowed to walk through parking lot to get to downtown Disney. Parking at hotel was extra $10 per day and they charged a $100 dollar holding deposit.

The room was great. It had a homey feel to it. Staff was helpful. However, when we arrived the room didn’t have an iron so we had to ask for that. The iron was leaking and the iron board wasn’t working fully. The shower head was squirting water everywhere and the shower door made a loud noise when we opened it. Despite all this, the hotel was accommodating. I hooked the wrong date twice in a row and they allowed me to get a full refund (w/ the help of the hotels app people). They also accommodated a bottom floor because I had a lot of stuff to bring for a DJ gig.

Stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. We liked how close it was to Disney. At first it was pretty clean. But kept looking closer the sheets and bedding not never clean at all. Our last straw was there was no hot water all weekend. We had mentioned it to the front desk all they could do is say oh yea we are having trouble with that sides water heater. So they knew the whole time didn’t say anything all weekend. Very disappointing since it wasn’t the cheapest weekend we had spent.

I had booked this hotel months ago when I knew I would be in Anaheim for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend. All of the reviews were incredible, the room photos looked very updated and well kept, and it was walking distance to Disney. While I didn’t have a bad experience here per se, I definitely would not book again. After leaving my hotel room at 3am to run the Disneyland half marathon, I came back to no hot water to shower. I rinsed off quick in a very frigid shower and then went to Disneyland for the day. The staff informed me that they had someone working on the hot water situation and that they would hopefully have it back by night time. After a full day in Disney, I again came back to a room with no hot water at 10pm. I spent the next day in Disney as well, and by 9pm still had no hot water. It was not a great feeling ending such a fun trip with no hot water in my room for multiple days. From the reviews, this is not everyone’s experience. However, this was my first time ever in Anaheim, so it was not a great impression on where to stay next time. I also did not feel the room service was that well done. The bed was made everyday and fresh towels were put out, but things like the shower, sink, etc. definitely were not cleaned daily. The towel situation was also very inconsistent. Some days I had a full set of towels, other days I had shower towels but no wash cloths or hand towels.
Overall, it wasn’t a terrible stay but I would not book again just from my experience.

There was black mold in the bathrooms and in the ventilation system. The rooms are extremely humid and the ac doesn’t really kick on or move the air around, probably why the black mold exists. The walls are paper thin and you can hear every little thing around you. There was a homeless man screaming outside and cussing near the hotel as well, so be aware if bringing young children. I’m not one to post negative reviews but it’s probably worth it to try another spot instead. I should have read the reviews before booking. Yes it’s cheap but at what cost.

Awful property.

Door lock didn't latch, felt unsafe. Floors were dirty, stuff stuck to them. The room was just dirty, worn, and old. AC worked but pieces were broken off, shutters half broken.

Parking is NOT reserved and the spaces are tiny. They are first come and that applies to your entire visit. You could leave for dinner and come back to no place to park. After booking we were sent this message, \"Parking is FREE for the FIRST vehicle PER ROOM at a first come first served basis, however because parking is free for the first vehicle space is limited and we cannot guarantee a parking space.\". This message was very frustrating to get after booking a non refundable stay.

They provided 1/2 a roll of toilet paper for us. We received 3 back to back phone calls in the middle of the night, like 3am. Tried to answered but it was a busy signal so I ended up taking the phone off the hook.

The TV was nice but we didn't test it. The bed appeared clean and was comfortable.

We will never stay here again.

It was a clean and simple room, the staff were very accomodating, and the site was close to Disneyland.

The parking was limited but once we were able to find a spot, and none of the spots are far from any of the rooms. Its not a big hotel, but that allows for a more personalized service. It remains on my list for future utilization for Disney visits.

The bed was absolutely one of the worst I’ve ever slept in a hotel. As you’re walking up the stairs to your room next to dumpsters you see the old mattress that are torn and beat up. Bathroom was average. Needs deep cleaning. You can tell it’s very basic maintenance. Will not be returning

This property was sufficient for our two night stay. It was clean and walking distance to Disneyland. The photos are much nicer than the actual rooms. There is a gap under the door so air and light come through (we blocked with a towel). You hear every bit of noise from the street- fireworks were right in front (cool, but LOUD, so expect that). Tight parking lot but only $10 a night.

It's a very basic hotel at a very reasonable price. The room was fine and the space adequate. Beds are comfortable.
It's not too close to Disneyland, so requires a 30min or so walk, depending on your speed.
The shower is incredibly low flow.
The walls are paper-thin and we were woken up every morning between 4-6am by our neighbours.
The A/C unit shines a neon violet light all night which casts over the closest bed, requiring a night mask or pillow over the head.
Unfortunately, all this made the stay quite challenging and sleep hard to find.

Make sure to read the note in your hotel

The location is pretty good in proximity to Disneyland - took about 15 minutes to walk to the maingate. If you plan to spend your whole time at Disneyland, it's great. However...
-It's LOUD. You can hear everything and everyone. We were there for the race weekend (race on Sunday) but Friday morning we could hear everyone moving around outside at 3am.
-There is a very small note on the counter regarding the air conditioner...you CANNOT set it under 70 degrees, or else the AC continues to drop. We set it to 68 degrees before we went to sleep and I woke up freezing - it was at 63 degrees, and every 30 minutes, the AC unit would make gurgling ice noises. I was awake from 3-5am. I talked to the manager in the morning - he asked if we wanted them to look at it, but I said it's fine, we'll keep it at 70. We set it there, and when we returned, it was back to 63 degrees.
-The shower head was kind of crusty (probably hard water stained).

Overall, for the price, it's fine, but if you can afford more, I would recommend more.
