Was this on Points or Cash?

We’ve stayed here many times and even though the Suites aren’t renovated they’re fairly spacious and comfortable. I’d say they were last renovated in 2010ish based on the style.

Points stay. We will probably be here one more time in the next year, so will try a suite out if we can.

Definitely interesting -

I’ve never found a good points value here so we always have paid the cash rate ($90-$120 vs. 12k points)

Breakfast is decent, but not memorable but the suites are good.

EPPanda

Yes, definitely not outsized value like other properties, but cash rate was $560 for 3 nights + $28 nightly parking so still made sense to do points booking. It does seem like the rates are slightly low for the proximity to Disneyland, especially comparing to HP/HH that are walking distance from the park.

Pre-pandemic this hotel was 90% business travelers so they’ve had to change a lot to make things work. It’s definitely much more affordable than the HH or HP next to Disney. The parking is fairly expensive considering the location too it’s not in a downtown area or near a beach and the property definitely isn’t a resort so $28+ is excessive.

I think the shuttle to Disney is only $6 Roundtrip PP.

How does the Shuttle work? Is it just running throughout the day or is it on demand?

flyinglemon

If I remember correctly it runs every half hour. It runs from before the park opens until after it closes

JonIND

It runs every half hour, leaving at :15 and :45 from the hotel and :00 and :30 from the parks. When we were there a couple of weeks ago, Disneyland Park's hours were 8:00-midnight, and the first/last shuttles were at 7:15 AM and 1:00 AM.

Just finished a two night stay for our visit to the Disney parks. This is approximately my 4th visit here in the last 12 months. Very conveniently located and well priced.

We enjoyed our stay despite some snags. Had two rooms booked, one on points. At 4pm check-in, one of our rooms still was not ready.
Booked the cheapest queen room on a prepaid rate, and king deluxe (renovated) room on points. Upgraded both rooms to king deluxe high floor prior to arrival, per the app.
Requested a crib on one of the rooms via text, then email. FD did not see a crib on the reservation so had to request it a third time. Luckily we didn't spend much time in the room as we were at the parks, but the crib was delivered prior to our return.

Breakfast was comped for both rooms for both mornings. We carpooled so parking was also comped for our one car.
Breakfast was a la carte, mostly the basics, but good nonetheless. Service seemed a bit slow considering the number guests and staff, but we had a good time. Checkout was fast as the FD had comped breakfast and parking preemptively.

Shuttle service was prompt and on time. Drops you off near the entrance to the parks, very convenient considering some parking lots don't have shuttles at Disney now.

Was Gobalist breakfast the “grab and go” stuff or in an actual restaurant? TIA

Breakfast is a la carte at their restaurant, TusCa. Small menu but everything was delicious. Nothing spectacular, but a solid breakfast.

I was never told there was any limit, but we had bills up to ~$75 that were completely removed without question.

In residence now. Booked a One Queen and upgraded to Two Queens renovated deluxe. Strange upgrade. Usually get a nice suite. I would have pushed the suite but it was late and we were the 8th person in line to get checked in so we just wanted to move on.

the renovated rooms are… soulless? They feel very bare and stripped down. Less 4* and more 3*. The paper cups don’t help. The worst is that they installed a super bright glowing orb wall light that ricochets via a mirror directly into your eyes. The front desk clerk revealed a life hack to cover it up with a paper key sleeve which helped some. Anyway I would push for a non-renovated suite if you can. And don’t book the One Queen. Book a one King.

It's the way the entire industry is going, and it's awful. Cold, noisy and hard surfaces everywhere so they can spend less on maintenance and housekeeping.

DELee

Yup.

Hopefully they're easy to clean and they have the same beds? Pictures wise, the newer rooms look much better but perhaps they didn't include enough warmth with the designs.

[Globalist] How was the breakfast area and can it be ordered for in room instead?

Is the lounge back yet or any indication it'll come back. I have some of the most useless milestone "Rewards" if they're not going to have any lounges.
