Avoid an unrenovatee room.

Staff were very nice! However, we were in an older room. This room has an arched window above the balcony door. It faced out toward the parking lot, so the room could not get dark. Bathroom and furniture are quite dated but clean.

Staff are great. There are always people cleaning. Room was clean but almost no balcony, standing room only. Couldn’t get the ac unit to stay on, kept going on and off. Our room was very noise and it made it hard to sleep. Paid for an upgrade in building 1, but was given a different room entirely in a different building that was dated and far from where we wanted to be. Great property for families with kids, great pool and splash pad.

We had a toddler and were able to come back to the room for a nap and head back into the park with ease. You can’t beat the location and the price. The staff are very kind and helpful.

Convenient walk to Disneyland, nice grounds, rooms were quiet which was nice. Downside was that the older buildings (2 story buildings) doesn't have elevators and if youre on the 2nd floor, its super bright in the room as there are huge windows that do not have curtains. Not able to sleep in or take a mid-day nap. Also, it was hard for my baby to sleep because of this.
