We had two rooms here for 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and check in was easy and fast. Pool looked clean, but we didn’t use it as it was cold at night when we got back. Parking is easy, blankets and sheets were spotless, refrigerator and microwave worked perfectly. I would stay here again.

Conveniently located near Disney. A 15 min walk from the entrance. Free parking and free Disney fireworks (from the inn's parking) Staff on site was nice and polite. Regarding the rooms: Fair price Safe Room stuck in the 90's Free fridge and microwave Phone was not working so I couldn't call the Reception Ok'ish bed and pillows Balcony could be better with 2 chairs Overall, you've got what you paid for.

This was a cheap room with a pretty close location to Disneyland though not on the main drag on South Harbor so don't expect much near the hotel besides other hotels. There is a gas station right across the street that is convenient for getting water and whatever you need for the hotel room. I found the room to be as advertised. It's small and cheap and near Disney. It was clean though a little outdated. For someone who is spending most of their time at the park and just needs a place to lay their head and keep their belongings it is perfect. There was someone at the desk when we checked in but there wasn't anyone the rest of the trip but that was okay since we didn't need anything from them. The pool looked clean and nice but we didn't use it as it was cold and rainy during our trip. The only reason I marked down the rating was that the room did have quite a strong smell. Not terrible but like a musty old hotel room with a tinge of old chemicals. I did find it got a little better if we ran the A/C well we were gone. I do feel it could be helped if maybe during checkout and cleaning if they just propped the doors open and let the rooms get some fresh air. Otherwise it was adequate. If you are looking for a large luxury room to hangout in or with lots of stuff to do in walking distance I do suggest looking elsewhere but if you just need a room nearby Disneyland for a decent price I do feel this may work for you.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms were nice and clean. It’s a very easy walk to Disneyland that took about 20 minutes. The staff was friendly. And it’s affordable. Would totally stay here again! One critique I have is that the bathtub doesn’t come with a plug. Not a big deal since I’m fine with showers but if you have children that solely take baths, that might be something that you should be informed about.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time in that area, they explained and even showed us pictures where to walk to the Pixar and friends parking lot so you can take the tram. It is a 15-minute walk, so after walking all day in the park, those 15 minutes do feel like forever. The rooms are outdated, but if you visit Disney, you're hardly in the room. The rooms do have a microwave and mini fridge, and they have a big desk space so you can set all your stuff without having to put things on the floor. Overall, I am very satisfied with this hotel.

Small and cozy motel! The price is well worth it. Workers are well-informed and very welcoming. Literally a right turn away from Mickey and Friends parking structures! #Hotel #Disney #Vacation #Travel #ThemePark

The room was huge. All the upstairs rooms have private balconies. The refrigerator was larger than most hotels I've stayed at. The AC worked great. The pool area is nice, with picnic tables and lounge chairs. It's about a half mile walk to Downtown Disney. The bathroom was dated but clean, so no issues there. The only weird thing was that there was not a dresser, so we had to keep our socks, undies and shorts in our suitcases, no biggie. There was a rack for hanging shirts. All said, a great stay at a bargain price. Caddie corner was a fancy hotel with a restaurant, so we ate breakfast there before Disneyland every morning.
