The rooms come with a kitchen suite in each one. The kitchens have built in dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, coffee makers etc. The housekeeping will run the dishwasher for you every day even if you only have 3 dirty dishes which is quite a waste of water but nice of them to clean up. We did not get the kids-suite but we found having a TV in the bedroom and in the living area worked well for us. The hotel has a complimentary buffet breakfast. There is a do-it-yourself waffle bar, donuts, danishs, muffins, fruit, juices, milk, scrambled eggs, tortillas, etc. A complimentary evening snack/dinner was served from Monday-Thursdays only eg. chili, corndogs, rice with egg rolls, and spaghetti.
The outdoor patio/pool area was quite peaceful. It had a deep pool, a wading pool and a jacuzzi. It would have been better had there been a dirty towel bin set up as it seemed towels were being taken out and left on chairs but not being used.
The shuttle service to Disneyland cost us $3.00 day . It was supposed to run every 20 minutes but we found that not always accurate. We were the first stop on the route and we filled it up with just our hotel a couple of times and the next hotel in line had to wait for another shuttle to arrive before they could get on. As far as shopping goes - a Target store is close by as is a Von's grocery store. T-shirts and mugs are sold at the hotel gift shop for the same price as the discount stores close to Disneyland but with the convenience of not having to carry it back to your hotel. Water is 99cents a bottle at the gift shop as compared to $2.75 at Disneyland. Restaurants - Outbacks Steakhouse, Joe's Crab Shack, Red Robins, are all within one block as is Starbucks as well. We were on the 8th floor of the hotel and since our room faced Disneyland we were able to watch the fireworks at Disneyland from our bedroom. Although we faced the road we heard no traffic. The room was VERY quiet.
