10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were clean, staff was pleasant and explained details thoroughly about how to get to Disneyland and what restaurants & stores were near the hotel. The breakfast was outstanding, many items to choose from …we truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We saved money and time by walking the short distance to Disneyland from the hotel."
