Easy 10 minute walk to Disneyland. Plenty of options for quick food and sit down restaurants. Room was perfect for my wife and I and our 2 kids. We had a room with bunk beds which the kids loved and a view toward Disneyland allowing us to watch the fireworks show perfectly from our room.

Great stay for Disney
Great view for the fireworks at Disney and the room was nice overall. Only complaint was the big dome windows on the top floor floors Don’t have any coverings so it’s very bright in the morning.

The hallway smelled and the room also smelled but luckily we were able to just keep the balcony door open the entire stay. Im a bit picky so I’d prefer to stay somewhere newer or cleaner on our next trip.
