Cons:

Que salió mas caro de lo que inicialmente decia la información y aunado a eso me ofrecieron una camina tipo catre y no me informaron el costo extra; pues la ofrecieron como parte del servicio.

Fun family trip
Pros:

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Our room was spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. They fulfilled our request to have family rooms close together before check-in. The location was perfect for a trip to Disneyland.

Cons:

The room was overly warm overnight, and the thermostat was hard to use—clear instructions would be useful. The bathroom light switches on at full brightness automatically; a night light option would make late-night visits more comfortable.
