10/10 Excellent
"The whole place was top notch. Check in was great. The room was so clean and well stocked with everything. Pool was nice and clean. We ate at the 5th their roof top bar and grill, food and drinks were great. Can watch fireworks from there. It was close to the entrance of Disneyland. Great other choices of restaurants in the area."
