Very Good
AAnonymous UserThe family suite is still a bit small for a family of 6. Food are average but location is very convenient to all the parks and nearby resort.
GGuest UserThe overall feeling is good. There are Mickey waffles for breakfast and a fixed shuttle bus to Disneyland in the morning and evening. The room and bed are very large, but there is a bit of smell because the window cannot be opened. There is a vending machine downstairs with all kinds of food and drinks, which can be heated in the microwave in the room. However, the deposit was a bit slow to return, but everything else was good.
GGuest UserSince the hotel had only recently opened, there was a bit of a wait during check-in. However, the staff were very kind and courteous, which made the process pleasant.
On the other hand, there were a few concerns regarding the facilities. The water in the handwashing area didn’t drain well, and the toilet also had drainage issues. I had never encountered these kinds of plumbing problems at other places I’ve stayed, such as Universal Canaveral or Disney All Star Resort, so it was a bit disappointing.
I was also surprised by the lack of sound insulation. Voices from the hallway could be heard very clearly inside the room. Additionally, there seemed to be a gap around the door, which likely allowed more noise to enter. I didn’t experience this kind of issue at the previous hotels I mentioned.
Since the hotel is still new, I hope to see improvements in these areas in the future.
Ttracey grangerWe were a family of 5: 2 adults 3 teens booked for 2 nights. We got to the hotel late, 10:30 pm, the check in line was long so check in was around 11. We booked and received a suite, 3 queen bed, 1 bathroom, pool view. The room was cute and generally clean with the exception of some liquid splatters on the walls here and there. A key had been provided for each person in our group for the free hour entry into the parks however we learned that you also have to use the card key to turn on the lights in the room. There either wasn’t a fan in the bathroom or it wasn’t working and though there were plenty of towels there were only 4 washcloths (original booking was for 6 individuals). We parked our rental in the parking garage and though it wasn’t terrible, it is a bit of a walk to the elevators. If you don’t want to go off site for food the food there was okay (at least during dinner time, don’t know what they served for lunch/breakfast) and honestly reasonable priced with a range number of options. But there are plenty of options in the surrounding area. Any beverages and snacks of course are higher in price. The buses to the park were clean with ride being 5-10 minutes and we never really had to wait coming and going from the park. They cleaned the room when we went to the park however again didn’t provide enough washcloths. I called front desk about it however had to end up hunting down house keeping about an hour later to get one and even that was almost not successful. Overall the stay was okay and I guess you can expect to feel safe as I was told by my husband that a female security guard followed him to our room after he asked for directions. But again everything was good until we got home and realized our personal keys that we kept in the middle console of the rental and had both our home and car keys on had been stolen. Security did claim to check the room we had checked out of with of course no success and then afterwards it took some time for them to truly understand the situation, after being placed on hold a couple of times and then transferred to I’m assuming their supervisor who at first sounded irritated I was then told that there are no cameras in the parking garage. They did take down my contact information and description of the keys but also indicated that having “over 8,000 visitors” at the hotel a day that it may take some time to know if the keys are ever found. So in other words don’t leave ANYTHING important in your vehicle.
GGuest UserHotel was located between both universal and Disney . Free shuttle bus however the shuttle bus is very busy. Hotel breakfast very basic and disappointing. Not many options. Bedrooms are modern decorated however some issues . Bed bugs and ants had to ask to change sheets . They didn’t change and when I asked for room to be cleaned I kept being ignored until eventually had to get senior staff involved . Ant’s definitely a problem in the hotel . Liked that they offered free full size bathroom products this was useful . AC is at one temp and can not be controlled so can get very cold in the room and bedding is thin.
GGuest UserThe staff was excellent , very helpful and kind.
The hallways smelled a bit musty as well as the room.
Maybe the rugs need to be cleaned more often.
The hotel appears to be older which accounts for small lower quality upgrades in the room.
The upgrades done were somewhat lacking like incomplete paint trim in the restroom which included rough door bottom edging with pealing paint, as well as rust at the bottom of the metal door frames.
The shower head was old and outdated and did not function properly for adjustment of different spray options.
The restroom fan was loud, pool quality and connected to the light switch so both are on at the same time.
This did not allow the light function at late night without the noisy fan.
The fan should be replaced with a much quieter better quality type like a Panasonic multi speed.
The towels were clean and also had a musty smell.
The window covering did not function properly and was difficult to operate.
The room light switching was located only at the entrance to the room which was a long hallway before entering the room.
An addition set of redundant switches closer to the main room would be a very helpful convenience preventing long trips to the main door for night shut - off or modulation of lighting within the room.
Overall I would rate the Hotel based on price and room at 3 or 3.5.
However, the staff was very attentive and responsive, the hotel was properly staffed for quick check-in and deserve a rating of 5.
General appearance, lobby and common area cleanliness is rated as a 4.5 only because of the musty smell in the hallway walking to the rooms.

CCarmelWe liked our stay at this hotel. Liked the location and our room.
Staff are accommodating.
Breakfast was good but hopefully a breakfast buffet will be available too so as to have more options for the free breakfast included.
Definitely would rebook here for future travels and staycations.
NNadègeThe hotel is just fine for an overnight stay as it is located 11 minutes from the airport. Which is convenient for us who had a flight with a late arrival.
Parking is free.
The breakfast is simple, correct and included.
The security service is good as there is a guard watching the hotel day and night.
Cockroaches? Yes we have seen it. Given the heat and humidity, that must explain their presence on the ground floor, but that shouldn't allow the staff to ignore their presence, leaving one the night of our arrival until the morning of our departure.
The bedroom is large, the two queen beds are perfect for a family of four.
เเล็กวาThis hotel, good location, the service is also very good, the staff are smiling, the breakfast is considered good at a certain level, the only downside is that the room at the mattress and the bathroom has a small cockroach. Up to the bed as you can see, the hotel has a renewed, but some of them do not finish the room, there is an old part and there are cockroaches living in it.
GGuest UserWe stayed here last year and it was great except for the hot tub’s heater was not working. This year a year later it was still not working. Non of the ice machines were not working. Had to get it from the pool side bar. We also saw roaches in the room. We will not be back
