Don't Miss: The pool area was very cute, themed to pirates.

Room Location Suggestion: We stayed in room 3108 and were adjoined to my parents' room which was 3106. Theirs was a handicap accessible room so there was one king sized bed and an enormous bathroom, albeit there was no tub.

The Mouse For Less Tip: We made the walk to and from Disneyland easily, but this is the only option besides driving. There is no shuttle.

The sounds of the nightly fireworks at DL were LOUD. Mind you, we have a preschooler and head to bed early. If you stay late at the parks this won't matter to you.

My husband forgot to pack our daughter's toothbrush and I forgot to pack my razor. The front desk gave us those items free of charge.

Comments: If you're looking for clean, close to Disneyland and reasonably priced, this is a great place. No restaurant on property, but plenty of options on the way to and from Disneyland. One of them, Mimi's Cafe, is right next door. This certainly doesn't have the theming and appeal of the 3 Disneyland Hotels, but it's about half the price!
