"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"
