"Staff would get 10 stars if I could give them, everyone was so wonderful and accomodating, and went above and beyond! Hotel was your basic Marriott, nothing special, but clean, safe, nice pool area. Very close to Disneyland, we walked less than 10 mintes to the park every day. Panera at the entrance to the hotel in case you need something healthy after all the amusement park food. Only complaint is the walls were pretty thin and you could hear people bumping around constantly, but that wasnt...

The front desk was even able to upgrade us to a King-size bed, although only queens were available at booking, at no charge. The front desk and cleaning were very friendly and always greeted us. Parking was a piece of cake! 10-12min walk from...
