It's a 5-10 minute bus ride to Disneyland which was great! The room was on the smaller side, but we weren't in our room that much so we didn't mind! The mini fridge was a nice size, microwave and tv awesome! Never heard anyone else in the other rooms which was great! Agree that bathroom, specifically tub, could use a little update, but all in all a nice place to stay!
This is a great affordable place if you're looking to just catch a game at the angels stadium or go to one of the amusement parks. It's a small room, but again the price is great, especially for 1-2 night stays where all you need is a place to sleep lol The office attendee was a kind, older gentlemen. Check in was quick and easy !
The owner was extremely friendly and courteous to us during our stay this past weekend. He called to check on us and see if we were on our way when we were running behind on our way to Anaheim and was very kind during our check-in and check-out processes. He personally thanked us for our stay and sounded very sincere. The room itself was clean, and was clearly recently remodeled. Our only issue was the lack of weatherstripping on the door making it easy to hear the nextdoor neighbors when they were outside. I would highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for a good place to stay on a budget!
Clean room, fresh paint, lots of outlets including USB, an effective heating unit, and a nice sized mini fridge with microwave. Beds were fine, water pressure was low. Loved parking right outside my door and there's a bus stop nearby that goes straight up Harbor to Disneyland. Excellent value for the price.
The owners are sooooo nice. The pool is amazing.. had a dick neighbor who pounded on the wall everyday. We stayed a week. And would leave notes on his car. And the ice machine broke. But will stay again. Clean rooms and like I said the owners are amazing..
Very great place if you want to visit Disneyland Parks (which I do not recommend you by the way). Pretty affordable for the location, it is a classic motel which is good. Rooms are someway small and the AC is quite nosy but all the rest was a very good experience : swimming pool, fridge, free parking just next to your room, etc.
The room was way bigger than I thought it would be. The hotel is in a nice area and very quiet. The shower water pressure was dripping UNTIL the front desk told me how to pull the middle handle out. Then the water came out strong as anything. My bad. Very high ceilings. Just overall perfect for the price . Very satisfied
Unpretentious, basic, perfect for me. I don't care about having a bunch of fancy amenities. I prefer convenience, and a nice clean room over anything. The rooms are a bit dated, but you're not going to have anyone above you walking around, you're going to be able to park your car right up next to your door, the pool is just really nice. Nothing fancy just a nice big square of water to play in, the hosts are professional, and in general it's just a really nice quiet place to stay.
Lively area with rides at Disneyland theme parks, plus casual & upscale eateries & outlet stores.
