The pool area looks old and run down, a little paint job can only do so much. It’s also small, did not look inviting. Booked this place because it was cheap and “close” to Disneyland. Walking distance it’s about a 15 min walk, but if you’re planning to rope drop and stay until close, get a closer hotel and pay just a little more to be on that same street because those “short” minutes are endless when you’re tired and just want to get back to your room. Ample parking space, they don’t sell spots so you’ll have no problem finding a spot if you’re coming back late. Room itself is basic, looks like they renovated it, but don’t have high expectations. The bed itself seemed to be propped up on something and if you sit on the edge of the bed, it feels like you’re teetering and it will tip over. Staff was friendly, they did allow me to check in early when we were there, the little shop they have for snacks, toiletries, souvenirs, essentials is overpriced. Just walk the 5 min down the street to Walgreens or CVS or drive the 5 min to Walmart. Close to gas stations, restaurants. Overall I’d rate it a 3/5. It served its purpose for our Disney trip. But if traveling with kids again, I’d book a closer room to Disney. If I travel solo, I’d book this place again.

This resort is unacceptable for a Hyatt property. On the positive side, the design of the pool itself was great for the area, and one of the few properties with a lazy river. The water temperature was refreshing. Beyond that, not much to like. For context, we stayed here on weekdays. The service ...

  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA employee.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
