The hotel is not seven minutes away from Disney Land more like 15. The outside looked really nice. The inside is very disappointing. Has a odor to it very old. The elevator had graffiti carved into both of them. The hallway smelled very unpleasant. when I first checked into the room, my feet stuck to the floor every step I would take my feet I had to go to target to buy things so that I could clean and mop the floor because I was staying there for an extended period of time and I didn’t want to have to keep stepping on sticky floors. I also got bit by something. I don’t know if it was a spider or what they were also, cobwebs on my ceilings was very old and not anything like it was advertised.

The staff here was very friendly. At the time we stayed there were notices that they were havin all their in room ac units serviced. We didn’t experience any inconveniences from that. It was still a great stay. You can tell the building is old but it was clean. There was a funny smell on our floor but I think it was because those rooms all have kitchens and someone just cooked something with a strong smell. Our room did not smell. It was quiet despite being right by the Angel’s Stadium, Honda Center, and a ton of restaurants.

Decent location, with a movie theatre right next door. Nice staff. Floor in the room is filthy though, bring slippers or sandals…walking barefoot isn’t a great idea. No carpet, just hardwood. Service/maintenance people are relatively quick to fix any issues (our sink was clogged when we arrived, for instance, and light bulbs weren’t working…we got them fixed pretty quickly in the morning). Extended Stay is worth it over regular hotels due to the kitchen you get. Just ask for the supplies, and you’ll get them, although they may not have everything you need (cutting board was unavailable for example). I wish the pillows were a little more comfortable (thicker, firmer). TV is old so it’s difficult to hook up your laptop via HDMI and use the tv as a screen, as the connection isn’t exactly smooth. Overall, the kitchen option would bring me back but probably to a different location with more shopping options, walkability, and carpeted floors.

Not worth it
Staff was not friendly. Spoke with staff to advise late check in and was told two different things. After long travels and being exhausted it was not fun being told we might have to wait a hour for a computer system to run an audit before they could check us in (even though I already called and did most the check in and had the room paid before arriving as to not have to worry about the audit aspect) Hallways smelled of urine. Room wasn’t bad but the bed is super hard, squeaky and wanted to tip over if you sat on the edge.
