We all just love this hotel, the rooms, the free drinks, and breakfast.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I prefer the ES South on Imperial at El Segundo. I have stayed there many times and only once at the North because the South was sold out. I did not like the North location although I think that location is considered closest.One warning if you are flying in be sure to have the local phone # for the complimentary shuttle because they do not pick up unless you call from baggage claims. Also the rooms at the front of the hotel are right across the street from the airports landing. The noise has never bothered me and I like to watch the planes landing in the dark.I have been staying there almost monthly. I was just there last week.The restaurant is very good and usually a coupon is enclosed in the check in envelope. The first few times I did not notice the coupon until I was home! The complimentary breakfast is better than some of the ES because they actually have a good chef that makes good omelettes. I am picky and never get an omelette unless I am at that location.It makes me nervous to recommend something.I hope you are happy if you follow my advice.
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Definitely South. North is far away, and I'm surprised they even list it as a Disneyland area hotel. South is one mile down Harbor from Disneyland. Mickeymouseclub, I think you are talking about a totally different ES South. That's near LAX, not Disneyland.
Originally Posted By fkurucz I have noticed that sometimes the North one has substantially lower rates. If yo have a car it could work. But SuzieQ is right, its a few miles away.
Originally Posted By familyguy Does anyone have any idea what the hours are for the "managers Reception". It sounds like fun, however if it goes on during park hours it's kinda useless to us.

Originally Posted By bobiascastle opps meant to add-- South has all you can eat breakfast. It is wonderful, fill up at breakfast & you don't really need to eat till the evening. Even my kids aren't begging for junk all day. North has hot breakfast too but it isn't as good & is NOT all you can eat. They give you tickets for 1 trip & are not generous with their portions.
