"I enjoyed the stay. My first time to Disney was made super easy by the shuttle to the park. Both shuttle drivers were very kind a friendly. The front desk staff was nice and rhetorical rooms were in good shape. Beside the hot tub being not hot, and the parking gate broken causing me to be stuck in the traffic behind me I will stay there again."

"Close enough to Disneyland if walking, the front desk girls were helpful and provided a hair dryer, this was my first time staying at a motel didn’t know what to expect. I loved that there is a small convenience store on site but very expensive!!!! Also the laundry is available 24/7 to guests and can use a cc card instead of coins was a plus! Make sure you bring own shampoo, body soap… etc the room appeared very clean ,however, like many other hotels I’ve stay at prior-pillows had a dirty smell- so I didn’t use them- for the price I’d stay there again"
