The hotel is under extensive renovation so there was no dining, pool or recreational activities. The lobby is beautiful but the rooms were very outdated. The value was poor. It was a very expensive motel stay. The cast members were all friendly and the proximity to California Adventure was great but not $600 per night great. Tip: Before booking, check to see if the renovations are complete!

Staff was very helpful; excellent. The property was being remodeled and the main lobby, main driveway, on-site restaurant, and outdoor pool was closed. Also, no fitness center. Will return in future to check out the complete renovation into the Pixar theme hotel.

Parking structure is outdated. Larger vehicles have difficulties parking within lanes because they’re so small. Elevator under construction in the structure FYI. Just lots of renovations being done at the moment.

The elevators (when they worked) took a very long time. We waited so long on our departure we were forced to take the stairs with all of our suitcases in tow. The construction started at about 7:30 am and woke us up. We were at the Disney Princess Party which was over at 1 am.

The hotel was perfect. Clean, friendly staff. They are re-imagining the hotel to Pixar Place so there is some construction. During our 6/2023 stay, the lobby and store have been remodeled. Mid-afternoon during our breaks they were testing the alarm system, but it wasn’t anything blaring. It was a loud statement that repeated for about 30-45 seconds. No restaurant but a self checkout vending store with basic drinks and snacks. Some sandwiches, fruit, oatmeal. We did use the service elevators and they weren’t that slow. There’s only 2 but they were fine. The lobby elevator is a glass elevator. Much smaller and slower. Disney announces all major refurbishments at least a year in advance. Those that booked the hotel…through Expedia no less didn’t do their research. I suggest checking Disney’s website for all refurbishments…both parks, hotels, downtown and parking structures for whenever you plan on going. Paradise Pier has a separate entrance directly to California Adventures. The pool was being worked on while we were there & expected to open in a few months. Til then, guests can use Disneyland Hotel’s pool which is walking distance or they can shuttle you. Parking is additional.

Very convenient location just across the way from Grand California hotel which has direct access to California Adventure park and downtown Disney. Has its own separate entrance into the California adventure park if guests did not want to use the Grand California hotel’s entrance. Under renovation so we didn’t get to see the full experience of “pixar place” but they kept it very clean. Can’t beat the premier view room, Overall very happy with our stay.

Disney resorts always have great customer service. Although it was going through major construction at the time other amenities made up for it, like the private walkway to DCA and the ability to use the pools at the other resorts. The only thing i would change is the soundproofing of the rooms. You could hear loud exhaust from vehicles driving on Disney Drive.

Upon arriving to the hotel everything was good. Staying at the hotel made it more pleasant going to Disneyland. When we finally got into the room, the sink was clog took forever for the water to go down. The wifi was no good, cutting in and out. Other than that two issues everything was ok.

When you pulled up, absolutely no help with luggage. Employees just pointed you towards the desk inside and said to self park around the corner. We were able to check in early , that was nice. No food available when hungry late at night. The elevators they have the guests use looked the service elevators- creaked and we’re incredibly slow. There never seemed to be staff around to ask questions. I saw the construction workers at the pool area- just never heard them. The state of the construction and how the hotel looked it was shocking to pay over $500 for one night and pay for self parking. Crazy

You are paying for that back entrance. The new pool was lovely, but in general, the hotel is pretty standard to what you find on the main drag for half the price. HOWEVER, that back entrance is really lovely - so much more pleasant to go into the park without a crowd and also very direct to downtown disney, which we liked for dinner and the lego store. If you're going to the Disney park, it's more of a walk than other area hotels, so young families might not prefer this one, but those who spend most days in Cal Avt will LOVE it for that single reason .

When I made the reservation, I was not informed of the massive renovation that is taking place at the hotel. We did not know that there were no elevators in the parking structure, no restaurants in the hotel, not even a lobby to check into our rooms. We were with our grandchildren, and had a hard time providing dinner for them after our day at the park. We paid a lot for two rooms, but do not feel that we got our money's worth. Either the hotel should just close, or the room rates should be lowered to accommodate for the inconveniences, which are pretty extensive. Our trip was spoiled by our experience at the hotel.
