Avoid this hotel if you want rest
Pros:

Just finished a weekend stay here & we regretted staying here. Very thin walls & we did not get much sleep before our Disneyland day unfortunately.

CONS:
-very seemingly thin walls. If a neighbor shuts their door, your wall will literally vibrate. We also easily heard people talking in the hallway throughout the night. We bought ear plugs but we still could hear talking/doors shutting all night.
-there was a very loud AC motor noise when we entered our room (room 500). When we requested to switch rooms, the front desk attendant said she couldn't help us since “they were fully booked” even though this was at 3:30pm, but yet she said she cannot make a switch in her system? It’s not like every guest has checked in at that point. It wasn't until a maintenance guy did something above on the roof that made the sound go away.
-When we asked to speak to a manager, we’re told that there’s “no manager on site”-odd since the weekend is probably when a hotel is most busy.

-a staff member (housekeeping?) was accidentally in our room when we first arrived into our room
-Toilet wouldn't flush initially. We had to open the tank to reposition the valve.
-No luggage rack in our room. I ended up placing my luggage on the desk chair.
-parking is not free

PROS:
-Continental breakfast available
-Modern decor
-amenities such as: dish soap, microwave, mirror, gym, pool

A shame, because this hotel is pretty new & updated, so it had potential. But this hotel is not the place to get good rest.

Definitely would stay here again !
Pros:

I wasn't expecting how awesome the breakfast was going to be. There was an actual person who cooked either buttermilk pancakes or eggs. Besides that , there were 3 versions of eggs! The coffee machine that served espresso and other types of coffee drinks was beyond the beyond. I was also not expecting to have a kitchen, so that was a great surprise for me.

Cons:

My dislikes were pretty minor and structural in nature like the bed facing the door. One thing I didn't like was that the door to the toilet/bath automatically closed on its own. I felt claustrophobic. The pillows were also too soft for me.
