Here are some observations: 1) It has its own ART bus stop, which is good because its very far to walk. 2) The restaurant is small.

They were clean back then. 5) The only downside: my brother-in-law's motorcycle was vandalized in the hotel parking lot. Perhaps it was an aberration. Anyway, for $69, you would be hard pressed to get something nicer.

We stayed before it became a Holiday Inn, they were not done with renovating at the time and we had some safety concerns as well as rude staff. Our oldest was 6 at the time, pulled to open an entrance door into main building, this heavy glass door was off the hinge and nearly fell on him! Staff had a "I don't care" attitude about the situation. Also, it took 45 minutes for them to find our reservation at check in. Staff were speaking Spanish to each other but not telling us what the problem was. I could pick up a bit (high school Spanish) to know they didn't have our room ready (6 pm). To me that is very rude not to communicate with guests when there is obviously a problem. It was a clean room and just ok of a stay over all. But we haven't gone back due to staff attitude.

We get to Anaheim Friday evening after driving from San Diego. Then we leave Sunday morning. Wish we could stay longer. Then we have all Saturday to see DL. Hopefully they've improved on their customer service. :-(
Originally Posted By bradiefish We stayed here last November. We booked through priceline for $45/nt. They have renovated the hotel. It is clean but the rooms are extremely small. We needed a crib for a baby and could barely fit it in. If you are there when Disneyland is doing fireworks they can be seen from some of the rooms and the parking lot. It is loud, but still kinda cool.
