We stayed here for our visit to Disneyland. The hotel was a 2 minute drive to the theme park and within 5-10 mins of multiple restaurants and shopping centers. The hotel was very clean and quiet and the staff were very friendly. The bonus was the water park, my daughter loved it. Will definitely stay here again.

We really loved how close the hotel was to the park, but unfortunately there was a cockroach in our room. After that, it was really hard to not feel uncomfortable in the room. There was also a protest out front on the street when walking back from the park one night, which was very noisy and scary for the kids. We will not stay here again.

The setting was fantastic, providing a perfect backdrop for our family getaway. One highlight was the option of bunk beds for my little ones; they absolutely loved it! The kids felt like they were on an adventure, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was well-maintained, and the amenities catered perfectly to families. We're already discussing plans to return, and I highly recommend your facility to friends looking for a fun, family-friendly destination. Thank you for creating such a welcoming environment for families like ours! Looking forward to visiting again soon.
