CHECKIN & SERVICE -- Staff were generally unenthusiastic & checkin was slow (3rd party booking workflow isn't particularly fluid).
Early & late checkout offered at no additional charge. Extra-late checkout is available for an additional fee (2hrs/$75, 4hrs/$150).
Parking is quite expensive, Valet: $47 & self park: $35. Electronic (online) & credit card (chip) payment methods supported.
LOBBY, ELEVATORS, CORRIDORS -- The lobby is huge & has a very unique flow to it. Seating is comfortable & there's plenty of decorations, art, & factoids scattered around to keep you entertained.
The elevators require a keycard to operate but they are spacious & move incredibly fast. Corridors are wide & have good upkeep.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- The aesthetic is very sleek, crisp, & bright.
We really enjoyed the color palette, furnishings, & overall design of the room: high-ceilings, hardwood floors, GREAT natural lighting, full-size mirror, an array of seating options, some really fun art pieces, & a gigantic armoire.
There's more than enough storage (and space) for a family or couple's extended stay.
Cons: The accent chairs weren't cleaned well (stains & crumbs), windows aren't functional, & the AC is loud.
BED -- We slept in a double queen configuration & really enjoyed the mattress; great amount of support + firmness.
The rest of installation & bedding was quite underwhelming: the pillows were extremely light & thin, the bedskirt was dirty, sheets felt very generic, & the duvet was weak.
BATH -- Yet another trendy sliding door entry... but with a solid bathroom experience behind it; comfortably spacious (medium-size), decent water pressure, large towels, soft cotton bathrobe, gorgeous glass shower with a lengthy hand shower + pre-stocked bath products & an electric vanity.
Cons: Towels are a bit coarse; ventilation isn't great.
TV -- Large 55" LG HD LCD flat on a stationary wall mount. Satellite programming & streaming services are available.
The remotes are clean & in good condition.
WI-FI-- The complimentary WiFi is unencrypted but incredibly fast!

FOOD & DRINK -- Not a DoorDash friendly location but there are a lot of food & drink offerings onsite, with allergy friendly accommodations.
Dinner entrees range between $45-72 USD. The market has really delicious scones & blended drinks (give the frozen lemonade a try).
Rooms are equipped with small mini fridge's & coffee bar.
Cons: The fridges can be annoyingly noisy & ours leaked throughout our stay.
NOISE -- Soundproofing was great inside & out, but the booming fireworks woke me up on occasion.
It's not the worst thing to be woken up to, but takes a bit of adjusting to if you're a light sleeper.
RATING
I had a wonderful stay here & even extended my reservation a few times because of the convenience & comfort.
I look forward to returning & highly recommend this property if you're looking for something close to Disneyland or just in the mood for an awesome staycation.
4.5/5⭐️
