We stayed here June 8-15th. Its two miles from Disneyland on Chapman Ave. We booked it through Getaway Travel (who I highly recommend).
The girl working the front desk when we checked in was efficient but less than friendly. All other staff we dealt with was wonderful though.
We had a room on the top floor (6th). Our room had two queen beds and was quite spacious. It had a TV with remote in a large piece of furniture with 3 drawers. There was also a large closet with doors for hanging up clothes. The bathroom had a single sink inside the bathroom, which made it difficult for more than one person to get ready at a time.
The room also had a couple of nightstands and a desk with two small drawers & a chair. There wasn't any table & chair set up for conveniently eating around so we found ourselves eating on the beds. The room also had a very nice size refrigerator with a small freezer at the top big enough to freeze our 4 water bottles each night. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, which to me is the most important thing of all.
The view was crappy - the freeway and a hospital. But we weren't in the room that often so we didn't really care.
On the 4th floor there are laundry facilities - 2 washers and 2 dryers. One of the dryers was out of order the entire time we were there though. They were 75 cents to wash & the same to dry.
Its located near the Block shopping area and the Crystal Cathedral. When we were there we never encountered any major (or minor) traffic tie ups going to or from Disneyland.
They have a free shuttle to Disneyland. Their vans hold a max of 9 people and need to be scheduled in advance at the front desk. If they have more people going at a certain time than will fit in one van they have two vans they can use - and they have car seats for little kids if necessary. We never had a problem calling the hotel to have the van pick us up earlier or later than we had planned if our schedule changed.
We never used the pool because it was too cool while we were there, but it looked nice. They had a hot tub too.
The best part about this hotel was the breakfast buffet! We were told its regularly $8.95 per person but free to Getaway Today guests. Each morning we left for the parks very full, which saved a lot of money! The buffet always had eggs, bacon or sausage, french toast, hash browns, assorted cereals, milk & orange juice, coffee, make your own waffles, bagels and coffee cake. Everything was so delicious!
In the early evenings from 5-7 (weekdays only) they had food in the lobby. We were only there once when this was served and that particular day they had pot stickers and assorted veggies & dip. They always had apples for free in the lobby too.
I know most people want accomodations within walking distance of Disneyland, but just wanted to give my review of this hotel. We'd definitely stay here again!
