Worth the stay

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

It was great! Really nice being so close to Disneyland! The beds were comfortable. The valet option is nice if u don't need to keep going in and out of the car. They do offer plenty amenities but we didn't use them since we were time crunching for the park.

"The best place to stay and visit Disneyland, it is right across the street. Denny's and I Hop are close by. My grandson enjoyed the pool and watching the fireworks from the roof. It's clean and the employees are very nice."
