Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests at the hotel generally appreciated the prime location near Disneyland, as well as the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly staff. However, there were significant complaints regarding the service, particularly about rude staff members and a lack of responsiveness to issues, such as loss of water and room conditions. Many guests also pointed out noise issues due to proximity to the freeway, which affected their comfort during the stay. The amenities, particularly the water park, received positive feedback but some noted areas for improvement.

Great retro hotel with friendly staff and perfect location just outside Disneyland. Only thing that was less than perfect was the amount of light that came in through the high windows early in the morning, but overall it was an excellent stay. Highly recommend.

Pros (+) Spacious room, courteous staff, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: ~10 minute walk from Disneyland, having a pool was a must and having a water park for young kids was a plus.
Cons (-) Restaurant on premises or breakfast service would have been nice, the water park seemed small based on expectations: okay for younger kids but older kids would get bored easily and prefer the standard pool.

Pros (+) Our room rumbled all night because it was right next to freeway 5 and a major onramp also. One mattress in the room was completely sunken on one side - very uncomfortable... if you do stay here bring earplugs !

Pros (+) We like how close to the Disneyland resort you are, and the pool and water park that are available if you are not at the parks
Cons (-) We did not like that on the second night of our stay how the bath tub started to back up when we returned from the park. The smell was atrocious. When we called the front desk, they informed us that nothing could be done until 7:30 the next morning. No shower after a full day at Disney. When we woke up the next morning, the bath tub was still backing up. Again no shower. When I told the front desk...

Pros (+) Great location close to Disneyland - easy walk to the park. Had a room that looked across Harbor Blvd toward Disneyland. Had an AWESOME view of the fireworks. Staff was friendly, pool was clean, just wished there was a hot tub in the Garden pool, not just Castaway Cove, too many kids in it to be relaxing for an adult, pool hours just right. AC in the room.

Cons (-) Our bathroom sink was quite sloped, things would roll off it. Wish the frig was larger and that there was a hot tub in the Garden Pool.

Cons (-) The rooms are exhausted and are in bad need of refurbishment. We stayed here 5 years ago and it was in better shape then. Housekeeping staff were nice, but the front desk staff were a bit rude and chatted among themselves rather than being attentive to guests.
