I found this hotel while looking for hotels within walking distance to Disneyland with a decent price. We Ubered from the SNA Airport and it was a quick 20-25 minute drive or so. We arrived in the morning and were greeted quickly at the front desk. The employee was friendly and helpful. We were able to find a room that was ready in the morning which was awesome. She gave us an information sheet, and explained that housekeeping comes every other day for a refresh. She also explained the best way to walk to Disneyland. It is about .8 mile-1 mile walk, and takes around 15 minutes to get to the “esplanade” area between Disneyland and California Adventure. You just walk out the front doors of the hotel and turn right, and walk straight down Harbor Blvd until you reach the entrance area where the busses go in and out. You can also take the public bus there, and you could also Uber too, but we walked every day. It wasn’t too bad of a walk if you don’t mind walking. But at the end of a long park day, our feet hurt and we dreaded the walk. The sidewalk is on the side of a busy street and it does pass through a bus stop where sometimes there are homeless people there. That would be the only uneasy thing we felt about the walk. The room was nice, clean, and stocked upon arrival. We had a King bed which means we also had a couch in the room. The room was quite wide as well which made it feel larger. There is plenty of storage between the drawers and the tall wardrobe. There is a safe as well as a mini fridge in the room. The counter space on the sink, which is separate from the toilet and shower for getting ready, was large. The shower head could have used an update and maybe a little more water pressure. Also they provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but I quickly found out it isn’t the highest quality so bring your own if you are picky or concerned. The desk space was also very large. We were able to spread out nicely. We stayed for 3 nights and housekeeping did come for a refresh after the first 2 nights. They emptied the trash, remade the bed, refreshed the towels, and even refreshed the two water bottles that the room came with which was nice for the parks. As other reviews have mentioned, yes, the entrance to the rooms is from the outside, but we did not get the motel feel as others have stated, as the rooms seemed recently refurbished to me. I will mention though that the bed and the pillows were definitely in need of a refresh, as they seemed worn out and not comfortable. However we were so tired from our park days that we collapsed into bed each night and slept fine. The lobby is nice and welcoming, there is a restaurant there for extra pay, as well as a coffee bar area as well. There are plenty of seating available if you are waiting on your ride or something. There are also two elevators. They have a pool with a hot tub, but we did not have time to partake. The only window in the room is facing the front, where the entrance is, but there are some nice privacy and blackout curtains to use when you are not in the room or are sleeping. As others have mentioned, this hotel is right by the highway, and also busy streets so there is lots of road noise. However we had a room on the other side facing away from the parks and it seemed to cut some of it out. Once we were in the room, the noise was not bothersome to us, just walking to the room is quite loud. Upon checking in and checking out, they did offer to hold out bags for us if the room was not ready, or we needed to check out while still going to the parks that day. It is an easy process. They do offer parking here for a fee, but we did not have a car. Check out was also friendly, quick, and easy. Overall this hotel had all the amenities we needed for a quick 3 night stay while going to Disneyland. It was within our budget and within walking distance. Our stay here was perfectly adequate for us. Next time though, I think we will spend just the extra money to stay closer at the Fairfield or Courtyard Marriott. The walking back and forth everyday for almost a mile did a number on our feet and we would pay to stay a bit closer next time. Overall would recommend if you don’t mind the walking or the Uber.
