Help please! Questions about Paradise Pier Hotel.

[azdisneylover]

I have read that the Disneyland Hotel has free coffee in it's lobby for the guests, does Paradise Pier have the same free coffee? If so, do they have real creamer, or is it powdered? Does the Paradise Pier Hotel have a laundry room to do a load or two?
Is there a specific room, building, etc one should ask for that would be closest to the parks? How late does the restaurant in PPH serve food?
Any other suggestions on anything, please respond! I am so excited! LOL
I am finally going to Disneyland!
I do have to say, a big THANK YOU, everyone here for being so generous in sharing your great knowledge of information to help making a trip to Disneyland go from no way, to maybe we can, to OMG, we will be able to go, to We get to go, stay on site, and have a great time! Thank you, everyone, this board is so awesome.

PPH has coffee makers in all rooms (unlike the DLH, where you have to request a coffee maker if your room doesn't have one), and they do NOT have the free coffee. And unless you are going to DTD first, or really really want to take the monorail in, it's not time-efficient to drop into a DLH tower lobby to snag some. Darn.

The laundry facilities are over at DLH, behind the quiet/smaller pool area. Near the workout area, I believe. (good time to snag a coffee...heh heh) Either split up your wash into a couple dryers, or plan to spend extra time running the dryer again...typically very weak dryers.

Tip: if you don't have overwhelming height issues, take the glass elevator whenever possible. Much much faster. It's kind of in the middle of the lobby; very rarely a line for it (unlike the normal elevators).

We love the PCH Grill; I think they are open until 11, maybe? If you order a drinkie but can't finish it, they'll let you take the glass up to your room. Bring a jacket though...the a/c in that big open room is strong!

Don't follow the signs to the parks that are in the building, unless you want to walk ALL the way through DTD or take the monorail. Instead, go out the *front* doors, go to the crosswalk and go into GCH and follow *their* signs for DTD to get to DL. If you want to go to DCA, follow their signs to the hotel guest entrance.

While Paradise Pier does not offer free coffee to guests in the lobby, the coffee maker in the room is pretty nice. It is a single cup coffee maker and uses disposable brew baskets. Here is a picture of it.

As far as PCH grill is concerned, It would not surprise me if park hours affected it. I would contact disney dining to be on the safe side.
