10/10 Excellent
"The gentleman at the reception was so friendly!! Breakfast was delicious! And the staff made sure the breakfast was never empty! I stayed in the bi level loft and I would definitely stay again! A brief 15 minute walk to the Disneyland park or a 5 minute walk to the Toy Story lot! This hotel was a 10/10 "
