Pros:

The bathrooms were clean, the facility changed our room the 2nd day after complaining x2

Cons:

First impression, we got a bad dual room. The 2nd room was hot and AC only went down to 78 F throughout the night. The AC was leaking in the first room which created a musty smell to the carpet. The room overall did not feel clean. They switch our rooms the next morning which I wish was our first impression because it was very nice.

Avoid
Cons:

Everything was quite dirty and well used. Very dirty carpet in the room. The shower is broken. The balcony is also dirty. Yhey don’t clean the room every day and even don’t refill coffee capsules. Uncomfortable beds. And all of that is not recouped by the location. It is not 10 minutes to go to the Disneyland. It is 30 minutes. Think twice

Many other options with same or less out of pocket than this place
Pros:

The proximity to the Disney parks and optional water features for my kids

Cons:

Room size was unrealistic for a family of 4. Not to mention the lack of a patio or even process to get to the patio is unrealistic… have to crawl through the closet??? They also charge for everything… crib and parking… oh don’t get me started with the ant infestation in my car that I parked at their property

Location is great we will stay again
Pros:

The walk to Disney was not to bad.

Cons:

The bathroom and rooms are outdated but still comfortable. The was what looked like mold in the grout by the tub but I always bring bleach spray when staying in a hotel.

雖然隔音不好，但相較迪士尼附近的房價，我覺得這個住宿非常合理，我們住得很愉快。
Pros:

從前台到水樂園的救生員員工都非常友善的協助，房間很大，我們住在building 1, 設施都蠻新的。

Cons:

隔音很差，半夜還是可以很清楚聽到奔跑的聲音。
