Won’t stay here again

Got this hotel through Costco deal and was disappointed, stayed for 4 nights and my room was never cleaned even though we asked for it/ they seem to be short staffed. Room seemed run down and not super clean, our room was right by freeway which was noisy to sleep. Hot tub did not work. Disappointed and would recommend you look somewhere else for sure.

Cockroaches!!!!!
I have stayed in many hotels. I would never go back here. In fact I stayed at a Vegas hotel right before this one and it was way good. The manager basically accusing me of trying to get free rooms. Nope just wanted accommodated for everything we had went through.
First room not clean and a HUGE cockroach
Went to a different level which stunk so badly of animal urine.
*Room was not that clean
* Fridge was dirty
* Disposal not working.
*NO offering of room service. (why they likely had roaches)
I had to ask a for a broom
* Breakfast was so bad we went out to eat anyway.
* pool was not clean and hot was broken
* Management was not good

BEWARE THIS HOTEL! It is run by complete incompetents who will overcharge you, and who have no idea how to refund you.

After multiple promises to refund an overcharge all I saw were more erroneous pending charges added to my credit card, then COMPLETE radio silence. I had to call the Corporate Customer Service line who is supposed to help. It's been two weeks and the charges are still on my credit card.

The hotel staff kept us in the lobby for 1.5 hours as they fumbled around trying to refund my credit card and were rude, dismissive and unhelpful. I didn't want to leave without my refund, because at that point, they had already given me incorrect information on multiple facets of my bill. I just had zero confidence that this was going to be done. And I was right!

I opened up a complaint with their corporate helpline, but when I called back today, the corporate helpline said that of course the property was being unresponsive with regard to the details of this concern. At this point, I feel like it's retaliation because I was insistent that somehow they refund me when I was trying to check out of the hotel and/or provide proof that the refund was initiated. They refused any alternate method of refunding me, i.e. cash or sending me a check to my home address.

Horrible, horrible customer service. Tainted my Disney experience and memories. This hotel group is like a low rent, dollar store version of a holiday inn with seedy suits and all- save yourself the work on the back end and go to a Marriott or Hilton property who have professionals working there.

I've spent HOURS trying to get these charges reversed. Just not okay.

Overall this hotel is ok, not great and less than what was expected for a good neighbor hotel of disneyland. We had a few problems, nothing terrible, just annoying. I have detailed the pros and cons we experienced.

The pros: comfortable bed, fridge and microwave in room, decent size bathroom, ART bus location is right outside

The cons: door handle was almost impossible to open, had to have management give us the tip that you have to do a trick to open it, bathroom toilet was breaking so constantly were concerned it would overflow or not flush, you can hear everything from the hallways and next door rooms it was very noisy with crying kids especially at midnight when trying to sleep (I am not super picky and it was very loud), icemaker was broken on our floor, coffee stand was never able to make anything more than just brewed coffee despite menu listings (and the brewed coffee was not good), the restaurant and bar closed at 9pm and so after a long day at disneyland was never able to actually enjoy anything there, the ART bus never showed up on time and would then not be able to accommodate everyone who was waiting for it (this is probably more of the ART issue than the hotels problem), they didnt have daily maid service which is fine but with the all wood floors and long days if you forgot to get towels at front desk each night it was kind of a pain.

So just beware that it is less than what is advertised on website and don't have very high expectations.

Room tip: Don't expect coffee shop to offer anything more than plain brewed coffee.

They charge 29 dollars a night to park which is expensive. Might as well pay a bit more and go to a nicer hotel with FREE parking. Room just okay. Will not be staying here again based on the parking cost.

Room tip: Loud neighbors, loud dogs

Overall an average stay since we spent most of the day at Disneyland/CA Adventures. Beds are comfy but do squeak a lot. Breakfast doesn't have too many options and we ended up eating at Starbucks. For the price and distance to park it's a great stay. Our main complaints was that one not a big deal but the safe didn't work and was broken and there was no turn down service. The biggest caution is to ask for a room not facing the highway since it's very loud at night. We had no idea and were not able to change our rooms.

Room tip: Ask for a room not facing the highway.
