Pros:
Cons: No tables in the room. Had to eat on an iron board covered with towels. My daughter woke up with bug bites all over her arms body and face. It was a small room despite paying extra for bunk beds (family room). Only one working elevator during our stay.

Pros: The kids water park area.
Cons: The water park needs to have workers keeping it tidy. There were always dirty towels laying around for long periods of time with no one using them or picking them up. All three days we had to clean up others towels and garbage.

Pros: It was close to Disneyland and which was our reason for being in Anaheim, and close to shops and food.
Cons: The attractions were very misleading and I had a bad ant issue that was not addressed until checkout and nothing was done but a "sorry, did they do damage?" We are talking about ants not termites. I had my two babies and spent my time in my sister's room.

Pros: The staff were friendly.
Cons: The pool area and Castaway Cove. Website was deceiving. No water activity for older children, teens, and adults. Not sure why a wristband was required for "water play" when there was absolutely no water play other than an unlighted pool.

Pros: Walking distance to Disneyland was amazing.
Cons: To use the term watermark is very misleading by far, the term splash pad would better explain what they have to offer. Also the room view is of the freeway, the balcony is a small slice of concrete, there is no breakfast like the recording says.

Pros: Family suite was great for my family of 5. Pool area was so so much fun for the little ones. Just wish the other pool was in the same area, I hated having my 2 other daughters in a pool area without parents.
Cons: Didn't like that they don't offer any breakfast. That would have been so easy, it was kind of an inconvenience to go out to eat breakfast somewhere before heading into disneyland

Pros: I will not stay at this hotel for future Disneyland family vacations.
Cons: The rooms were way way to small, no air ventilation from the windows, no AC, odd hous for access to the pool. They didn't even have utensils. I brought these issues up to the staff, and they didn't seem to care much.

Pros: Location is great, it is one of the easiest places if you like to be able to walk to the park. Rooms were clean and of good quality even though they are old.
Cons: They charged me $23 to park an extra 3 hours after I checked out. I get that they are a business trying to make money but when I left they had tons of parking spaces available. That kind of stung after spending $---- on two hotel rooms.
