If this is the resort on Katella and near Harbor Blvd., I think it's great value for the money. We stayed in May 2004 for 5 nights. I would do it again for the price.
First, let me say that this resort has been undergoing major renovations for over a year, now. It did get a bad wrap during that time mode because there was more noise, etc. while construction was going on.
We got a deal through Orbitz for $65/night and I think it was great value for the price paid. There was a sale going on and I think we paid 20% less than the normal price on Orbitz.
The rooms were large; you didn't feel cramp. There was a nice size refrigerator and a microwave. There's a grocery chain not too far away to stock up, too. The pool is on the small size for the resort size. There's a restaurant that was soon to be opened there and Quizmos was already in operation. The parking was a little tight at times, if you have a car.
Also, there's a free continental breakfast that's available to hotel guests. I saw many guests take advantage of this feature. It included three choices of cereal, two choices of toast, one kind of donut, two choices of fresh fruit, milk, juice, and coffee. Keeping in mind this is continental breakfast, I think it was fine. There is a time limit to use this feature; it's not available all morning. It saves time for the parks and I'm all in favor of getting to the parks faster.
There are two sections to this resort, an older section and a newer one. You probably won't get the newer rooms; unless, you pay more. I'm not sure if they will be remodeling the older section now that the other parts have been remodeled. If they do more remodeling then I may have my doubts about staying there until it's complete. We were lucky because it was pretty quiet in that department when we were there. I would call and ask some serious questions if there's more remodeling to be done like to the older section of the resort.
We had free parking; so, we didn't walk to the parks. I did see resorts farther away then this one and the people were walking to the parks. I feel for the price you get good value here.
It's hard except for the Disney proper to find outstanding resorts near the parks. I give this place a B grade.
