dablackguy Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I just wanted to follow up on this hotel incase others are still planning a trip to the area.We thought that we were going to be 20mins away from disneyland when we booked but when arriving at the hotel it seemed really close. the ART bus stops just past the intersection. Its about a 2min walk from the hotel. 3mins if the toddler decides not to go in the stroller. The ART bus comes every 20mins. we never waited longer then 10mins. and the ride to Disneyland is about 6mins.We got our money's worth. we didnt stay in the hotel at all and paid next to nothing for it. Its very spacious. it is a 1star but i still wish they would revamp the washrooms. curtans and paint was a little dated. all in all id stay here again. Link to comment

mbstone Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 While I don't mean to make light of your finances, Anaheim usually has ample quantities of unsold 3* and 4* rooms, and $10-$15 more would certainly have garnered you one of 'em. For example my $43 2.5* bid was upgraded to the 3.5* Crowne Plaza. (While the CP charges a $12 resort fee including internet, most others don't.) Most Anaheim hotels also have a free DL shuttle. I never bid below 2.5* on PL in any locality in which a 2.5* or better property is offered. Link to comment
