One bed was OK in our double queen room - the other was incredibly uncomfortable. We were glad we only needed the one bed and could sleep on the more comfortable one. The room was clean. I also think it is funny they say they are a daily room service but you only get a few services during your stay. We are very clean people and that was fine but they do not do daily cleaning

THE ONLY PLACE TO STAY IN ANAHEIM

This is now the only place we will stay when we are in this area. Ryan at Reception was so kind and helpful. Everything that you can think of at the hotel was well above our expectations. It is a 10-minute walk to Disney Land and a whole street of restaurants.

You can hear everything going on in every room. The bathrooms need upgrades. The toilet literally was out of a stall. $200 for one night. If it wasn’t so close to Disney I would have picked a better property for $10 more.

We loved the kids bunk beds, walking distance to Disneyland, and good food options nearby. It would be nice for food delivery drivers to be allowed to deliver to your door. But overall we loved this property. This was our first stay, and we'll surely stay here next time we visit.
