Close to Disneyland this is a popular water-play area for children, complete with a slide and larger-than-life play equipment. A separate pool area can be found away from all the splashes.
Smoke free premises. 303 units. 2-7 stories, interior corridors.
Pros: I liked the comfy beds and the manager accommodated my needs. Tommy checked in my luggage and extended my parking to assist with taking a later overseas flight.
Cons: The property is aging.

Pros: When we first arrived, the room was a bit stuffy. But that was easily remedied. The bed was perfect for me. It was on the firm side, and I didn't experience any backaches or pain upon waking. My child knocked out immediately upon climbing under the covers. Castaway Cove and the garden pool were big hits with my child.
The hotel store had many interesting souvenirs and a good selection of snacks and foodstuffs to tide you over until dining out. We really enjoyed Mimi's Cafe being so nearby. Our meals were great, and the staff was very helpful.
My child really enjoyed this weekend getaway to celebrate his birthday. We came away feeling like we actually had a faraway vacation -- well rested and content -- before returning to Los Angeles.
Cons: Didn't realize their was a shuttle service to/from Disneyland. My left foot was recently in a cast for a month. By the end of the first day at Disneyland and after walking back to the hotel, my foot was swollen and quite painful.
The next day I stopped at the front desk to purchase shuttle tickets, but was disuaded by being told everything was all within walking distance.
I'm so glad on the way back that second day that I figured out how to take the shuttle back on my own at the Disneyland entrance (use ART shuttle #7).
Not everyone who needs mobility assistance has a visible handicap or feels comfortable disclosing as much to strangers. So knowing about a shuttle would have really helped on that first night to avoid the pain and swelling.

Pros: Very comfy beds and great maid service. Didn't use the pool or splash area much, but the kids enjoyed it. Very handy to be able to get your washing done
Cons: Our room overlooked the very noisy freeway so you couldn't use the balcony at all. After being stuck in LA traffic, it's not what you wanted to see when you arrived. It's the only hotel I didn't request a quiet room for as had no idea any rooms were adjacent to freeway. Big mistake on my part!

I was very tired and thirsty one evening when the little store was closed and without going into grave detail, by the time I counted up all my coins; figured out my building didn't have a machine and went to another building that did have a machine only to find the coin function was out of order; and then having to go back to my room for my credit card, I was more than a little frustrated.
