I feel the size of the room and the cost of the room are not compatible. I understand the connivence of the location adds a premium, but this is just another excessive cost you find at the park. I will NOT stay on property in the future. Better values and access off sit.

The bathtub was clogged and it took 2 hours to fix it. It was fixed at 1:20 AM in the morning. We cam to the hotel from DisneyLand at 11 PM wanting to take a shower and to rest. Also the day we were going to checkout from the Hotel, the handle on the toilet to flush was broken and will not flush! they fixed it after an hour.

We were given a handicap room which was a disappointment without furniture and tiny sink and shower curtain. The shower wouldn’t drain so it flooded the entire bathroom just before check out time. No early access to the park was also disappointing! Iris was very professional & pleasant at pre-check-in. Bell desk promised to bring bags in twenty minutes but took I hour despite prompting.
