We stayed here for a weekend disneyland trip. It was an easy 10 minute drive to the Disney parking garage. The room was lovely- decorated, clean, and cozy. The outdoor kitchen was full of snacks, which was an awesome surprise. We enjoyed smores by the fire pit. Feeding the koi was a fun quirky addition to the day! Loved it!
