I had memories of staying at the Disneyland Hotel many years ago. Back then I remember the monorail being near the hotel. Last time I went to Disney land, the Disneyland Hotel was under renovations and was closed so I stayed at the Paradise Pier and had to take the Tram to Disneyland, I guess it was better than walking! When I called ahead to make reservations, I talked to Carlos. He guaranteed 10th floor facing the park, and told me that the monorail was very near the Disneyland Hotel. In fact, he put me on hold several times making me believe that he was doing what he said. The nightmare begins. When we got there, we told that there was no rooms on the 10th floor or above available and they had no rooms facing the park. After the check in cast member made several trips to the back room, we were told that we had to stay on the sixth floor facing the parking lot! They called this a premium room and charged for it, UGH. After staying for five nights at the Disneyland Hotel we were not impressed. We had to walk from the hotel to Downtown Disney just to get to the monorail. Of course it was closed! Then we had to walk all the way through downtown Disney for what seem like forever to get to the to the front gate. Even our 12 year old daughter complained about the long walk! Very inconvenient for an expensive resort! Then we called to asked for extra pillows and towels. Two phone calls later after an hour, they finally arrived. When we woke up after the first night we were all stuffy and sneezing! Room was dusty. We had to request better cleaning. For the price room should have been dust free. Even as a annual premium pass member we had to pay almost 300 per night. Oh, by the way they lock all the lobby bathrooms after midnight, make sure you carry a coffee can! Not recommended. Stay at Motel 6 and get much better rates! You will still have a long walk, but it won't cost you as much!
Pros: Room with balcony
Cons: LONG LONG walk through Disneyland Downtown to get to Parks
