If you get this hotel on PL, you have been Zonked. (Lesson learned, bid the Garden Grove or Buena Park zones instead). First of all, the "resort" in the hotel's name isn't because the property is a resort, they are referring to the nearby Anaheim Resort Whose Name We Can't Say Because It's Trademarked. Not only is this hotel not a resort, it's not what you would think of as a 3* hotel. A 2.5* hotel? Lower. A 2* hotel? Lower. While the amenities offered here are the basis for the 3* rating on PL, the room, and the entire hotel, exudes filthiness and creepy-crawliness. I was afraid to take my socks off for fear of walking on the carpet barefoot. The carpet, drapes, and chair all had large mystery stains. Good luck getting the heater/AC unit to work. The bathroom door locked me out so I had to call maintenance. They ding you $12/day for parking (unlike most properties in the nearby Garden Grove and Buena Park zones) which is their version, I suppose, of a resort fee. The room is what you would expect from a Mom-and-Pop motel in Barstow or Needles. The rattletrap TV continuously plays an audio commercial for their "seductive" pay-per-view porn -- and this is a place that caters to families with little kids on trips to Disneyland!! Wireless internet is free but unbelievably slow, you can get on the faster wireless network of the hotel next door. Room service -- if anybody could eat in the room without retching -- is available 630-930A and 4300-930P, salads and sandwiches only for dinner. Of course you would go to one of the many nearby establishments instead of room service or the hotel's restaurant or bar. At least for the $12 parking charge you can go in and out with your car. Refrigerator, coffeemaker, in room safe (my bill had a $1.30 safe charge that was billed and deleted). At check-in I was told no king bed available, only two double beds, but I said BS and they magically found a king room. Do not bring your wife, girlfriend, or kids here unless you want to be in the doghouse. Amazingly there are families here paying rack rates for their Disneyland vacations. I wanted to scream to them, if your Mommy and Daddy had the brains God gave a goose he'd have put you up in the Hyatt or Crowne Plaza or one of the 2 dozen decent 3-4* hotels in the Anaheim/Garden Grove area. Lobby pay computer with printer; pool; free newspaper; Disneyland shuttle (property is 1/3 mile away). The property should be bulldozed. It is now two days after check-out and there is still a mystery "pending" $94.68 authorization on my credit card although my total bill was $24 for parking.
