We stayed for 4 nights last week and were pleased with our rooms, the staff and even the breakfast.
The motel is just steps from the crosswalk that leads to the park, our suite of rooms were clean, modern and good-sized. I like having the sink and counter area separate from the tub and toilet and the counter was large enough for all of my stuff. The bathroom area had new tile, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The towels were a bit thin but they worked OK.
The room had a fridge and microwave, TV, table and chairs. We had room for all of our gear and souveniers and overall the room was quiet and accessible. Our suite was a good price, $170 per night and this came to $85/night plus tax per room (the suite is two full rooms which are connected) which is an amazing rate for the location and accommodations. The continental breakfast was fine - sweet roles, oranges, juice, toast and coffee. Most of us thought it was a good way to start the day but my dh likes some meat so we walked down to McDonalds and got a couple of breakfast sandwiches for him.
They placed our friends right across the hall from us and parking was tight but free and OK. Downsides were no internet access in the rooms and I'm guessing it isn't a high-priority for most families on vacation. You can bring your laptop to the lobby for access and it's free.
The other downside is the pool. It's indoors and small. When I walked by there were several families in there and it looked crowded and a little scary. We didn't use it at all and next time I may pay more for a nice pool. Savanna really loved the pool in San Diego and this pool was a huge disapointment.
Overall, the positives far outweighed the negatives. We got change in the lobby, bought soap, did laundry, got duplicate keys and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The price and location were right but I still wouldn't recommend this motel if the rooms weren't clean and well-maintained.
If you want a place close to the park (and it's nice when you're dragging yourself back at midnight with a sleeping toddler) then you should give the Dessert Inn a call.
Here is my family leaving the motel and heading to Disneyland on our first day. Shown are my daughter, granddaughter, son and my mom -
