    Dont know anything about this hotel but I really wanted to go for my birthday, just me and the kids and we usually stay at PPH, but in order to get one more trip in this year it had to be very affordable.

    We will spend little to no time at the hotel but are hoping for the best.

    anyone ever stay here?

    I'm stuck with it no matter what but just would like to know in advance what to prepare for.

    going to disneyland for my birhtday : )

    Have a great birthday at Disneyland!

    We find that 3* can be gotten for around $50, and have always been happy with them.

    Breakfast was very basic - sweet rolls, juice, hot choc, but if you get sick of it there is a dennys right next door that was very tasty!
    It was a long walk to the park,but the ART shuttle picks up right in front of the hotel.
    The hotel staff wasn't overly helpful, but they were pleasant.
    Overall it was a good experience and a wonderful value. I would definitely stay there again. Please let me know if you have any other questions about the International travel lodge.

The breakfast in the am is fine also, just enough to get you going and the room is nice to sit and eat in even though it is a little small with the sun shining in the through the windows. You will have a nice stay I am sure.
