The hotel was nice the rooms were spacious and was convenient to walk to Disneyland however the explanation of parking an additional car to the garden walk was miscommunicated and my car was ransacked. Admittedly I said i had locked my car overnight but when i packed up to leave front desk said the only camera they had was only facing the gate at the parking lot entrance so i had some shoes and sunglasses stolen. They were only able to waive the $25 parking fee and nothing else. Couldn’t consider filing a police report since there wasn’t any damage to the car on the exterior but there was stain on the driver seat that i unfortunately had to cover and sit on to drive home. The stay was nice but if everything didn’t happen the way it did i would’ve given at least stars but definitely upsetting.

We enjoyed how close it was to Disnyland, but we did not like that we did not get to use water park that long due to it opens at 10am and check out is 11am and you get charged another days parking at 12pm. Short onnstaff when checking in.

Decent hotel that met basic needs. Lots of food options within walking distance. The only negative was our double/double room had a large window between the main window and ceiling that we couldn’t cover. It let in a ton of light during the night and when the sun started to rise. I’d stay here again but would request a room they didn’t have this feature.
