"I would not rent this place!! It’s not accurate with the description that you see on VRBO. The location was not desirable. There was street car racing and Cops everywhere on the streets. It took forever get hot water in the shower. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable to sleep on either. There was a DJ below the unit that that played music from 6-10. That was not mentioned on the VRBO site. I would definitely think twice before renting this unit."

"Close enough to Disneyland if walking, the front desk girls were helpful and provided a hair dryer, this was my first time staying at a motel didn’t know what to expect. I loved that there is a small convenience store on site but very expensive!!!! Also the laundry is available 24/7 to guests and can use a cc card instead of coins was a plus! Make sure you bring own shampoo, body soap… etc the room appeared very clean ,however, like many other hotels I’ve stay at prior-pillows had a dirty smell- so I didn’t use them- for the price I’d stay there again"
