I liked being able to park right outside the door to the room. The rooms were small, just 2 beds, a fridge, table and chairs, a desk. I think they had a sink outside of the bathroom, which I like for getting ready to go to the parks. They had a small swimming pool and hot tub that closed at 10PM. Our room was right across from it, that was a god location. There's a small laundry room right next to the pool area, but if you're only there one night, you shouldn't need to do laundry, I guess! (I always hate having to do laundry on vacation, but I didn't mind it there b/c it was right next to the pool.) <a href="http://www.geocities.com/ashpsyche/DisneylandLinkMap.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/ashps yche/DisneylandLinkMap.html</a> This map will show you where it's located. It's a short walk to the crosswalk to DL on Harbor.

Originally Posted By WestWind We stayed there several years ago and although it is not my first choice and I will likely not go back there, we did not have any significant complaints about the place. The walk to DL is fine and we did use the pool - in the middle of the parking lot. The room we had was large and the beds and bath were fine, but the sound control was not very good and it was showing its' age (old carpets, paint, etc.).

The distance from the DL entrance was great, especially on the way back after the park had closed and my feet were complaining quite loudly to me. The room was clean and the bed was perfect. I slept well even though it was not "my" bed. When we booked it, I asked the agent what it was like, and she said that 1-1/12 years ago she wouldn't have recommended it, but that they had refurbished the place. The carpet was a little worn, but who cares, we were there to sleep. The fridge was great to keep our food in. I was pleased with our stay.
