Affordable place to sleep near Disneyland it’s still about a 15 minute walk though
Pros:

Close to Disney and affordable

Cons:

Stated that was a refrigerator and microwave in the room, but there was not one and they charge extra $20 to check in early or park your car even if you have a reservation. Also there’s noise from above when you’re on the bottom floor.

Very comfortable stay and great distance from park to hotel. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
Pros:

The proximity of the park to the hotel

Cons:

TV only in one room vs having tv in the other room where the one bed was at (I had a room with 3 beds). Also the toiletries that were provided, it’s made my skin feel really dry (body bars), I wish hotels could provide better brand of toiletries.

VERY RUDE EMPLOYEES.
Pros:

THE LOCATION IS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS PLACE. YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE THE FIREWORKS FROM THE PARKING LOT.

Cons:

THEY WOULD NOT HELP US CHARGE OUR MOBILITY SCOOTER OR TRIED TO GIVE US A ROOM DOWN STAIRS. ROOM WAS NOT CLEAN AND TOILET WAS DIRTY AND HAD A RING AROUND THE BOWL. WORKERS WERE VERY RUDE AND MADE THE EXPERIENCE THAT MUCH WORSE. HAD TO WALK AROUND THE BUILDING TO CHECK IN BECAUSE THE OFFICE TO OUR HOTEL WAS CLOSED.

Great night, would recommend.
Pros:

Good location, walking to the Disney entrance was about a 25 min walk. We spent a night there but they allowed us to keep our car in the parking lot up until 3PM (we kept it there longer). The hotel doesn't offer shuttle service to Disney. Across the street there is a gas station with a convenience store.

Cons:

For check in had to go to a next door hotel. The room could've been brighter.

Lesson learned
Pros:

I did like that the room had a fridge and microwave.

Cons:

Had to check in at hotel next door. First room we were checked into, the smoke alarm was constantly beeping and phone in room didn't work when trying to notify front desk. Room we wer moved into next, mattresses were worn down and uncomfortable. Shower was not clean, found hair in several places in shower before even using it. Found a pair of socks that didn't belong to anyone in our group under the desk chair. Phone also didn't work in this room. Location was not accurate to website description. Website states Disneyland is like a 5 minute walk. This is not true, it's takes 25 minutes to walk there.
