Our family loved this place from the moment we walked in! The staff was very friendly . The breakfast was wonderful and I have picky kids. They have something for everyone! The 2 room suites are perfect for a family.. It's nice to have 2 tv's so parents can actually watch a little too! I can honestly say you will not be dissapointed if you stay here. And if you are your just to dang picky!!! We will definately stay here from now on!

We just got back from a 7 night stay here. We were travelling with 3 children, and the 2 room suite worked great for us. We faced the parking lot on the 5th floor, and got to see the fireworks at night. The cook to order breakfast was awesome! It sure saved us a lot of money. They have lot's to choose from. You can get fresh fruit, yogurt, cooked oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, scrambled eggs, waffles, omeletes, bacon, hashbrowns, sausages and more. It was great. They have it on from 6-9:30am.
We used the indoor swimming pool a few times. Each time we used it there was only one other person in there. It's not overly huge, but the kids just loved it.
They have laundry facilities on the 2nd, 4th and 6th floor. They sell soap and fabric softener for $.50.
There is a resaurant downstairs that we used once. We went else where to eat most times though.
They have a shuttle that takes you to Disneyland, but we never used it. You have to reserve a time both ways, and they leave on the hour to disneyland, and every 1/2 hour on the way back. We had strollers and such, so it was easier to drive. The parking at disneyland is $11/day, if you don't mind paying that. It took us about 15 minutes to drive, so it's not walking distance. That wasn't an issue for us. If you want walking distance, I'd stay somewhere closer.
Overall, we loved our stay. The staff is really friendly, and will do anything to help you out. They have playpens free of charge as well. The next time we go back, we'll be staying here for sure!

We stayed here for a family vacation. They are doing some work but it didn't affect our stay any. There is a nice mangers reception at night where you can have free cocktails, sodas and snacks. It was very relaxing after a long day at Disneyland. We had a two room suite and 6 people so we used all available sleeping spots. The beds were comfortable but the sofa bed had a thin mattress so it wasn't the most comfortable thing. The rooms were clean and good size. Enough room for all 6 of us to mill around and not feel like we were on top of each other. There is an indoor pool and spa and my niece and nephew had a great time in there at night. The cook to order breakfast in the morning was great. The food was good and we were able to fill up before our long day at the parks. If you are staying here for Disneyland it is a little far away and not anywhere near the main strip were Disneyland is. Also, there is no where close enough to walk to for a small lunch or light dinner you'll have to drive. The front desk didn't inform us that we had to make reservations for the shuttle to take us over to the parks. So make sure you make your reservations. It's kind of a pain having to decide when you'll want to leave or come back. They need an hour notice for the reservation. All in all it was a good expierence!!

I think that this hotels rating has been tarnished by reviewers who have it confused with Embassy suites South...there is no roaring lion at this one! I didn't see any junk yard and we had no problems whatsoever with the sports bar on the other side of the parking lot. It is there, but I almost had the feeling it was out of business.

It is a beautiful hotel that they are in the processes of redoing the rooms in. They are done with the exception of the upper rooms. The lobby area is breathtaking. Breakfast was outstanding. FREE shuttle to Disney...leaves on the hour to Disney and on the half hour back again. Very handy. The driver was so kind...even found us information on beaches in San Diego and left it in our room for us.
